What Saturnalia presents do you think Minimus and Vibrissa might give each other?
Try to find out the Latin word for the presents that you choose.
These are like the rings which Flavius and Lepidina exchanged. Flavius's
ring has an intaglio of Mars; Lepidina's has an intaglio of Fortuna. Why do
you think these are particularly suitable presents?

The whole family is tired and happy after the Saturnalia. Rufus asks Corinthus
how the festival came to be called the Saturnalia. Corinthus explains . . .
SATURN AND THE GOLDEN AGE
Jupiter banished his father, Saturn, from Mount
Olympus and became king of the gods in his
place. Saturn wandered the earth until eventually
he came to Italy, where he became king of Latium.
He taught his subjects the skills of agriculture and
the blessings of civilisation. People thought of his rule
as a Golden Age. Everyone lived peacefully together and
life was prosperous. Since those happy times, people
have celebrated Saturn's festival, the Saturnalia, with
feasting, freedom and happiness - they try to re-create
his Golden Age for a few days.
Lepidina decides to return to Cataractonium to help Flavia when
the baby arrives. She is closely followed by the rest of the family.
