On this day, the Romans were celebrating Bona Dea. She was a goddess in ancient Roman religion. She was associated with the chastity and fertility of Roman women, healing and protecting the state and people of Rome. Her rites allowed women to use strong wine and blood sacrifice, things that were otherwise forbidden to them by Roman tradition. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #romeantique #rome #bonadea #1st May #3December
