Io Saturnalia! (Hurrah Saturnalia!).
Strasheim, Lorraine A.
This mini-text is a set of classroom ready Latin readings, a selection of Martial's epigrams complete with Latin-English vocabularies and reading notes. The readings concern the Roman holiday Saturnalia, at which time the Romans exchanged gifts and favors. The first epigram, Xenia (gifts), gives the reason for the following epigrams, which are about particular gifts: peacocks, purple fish, deer, ointment, roses, bookcase, parchment pocket edition of Vergil, parchment pocket edition of Cicero, and a volume of Catullus' poetry. The material was prepared for a mini-course at Indiana University on the poet Martial and Roman daily life. (Author/CFM)
