• Several other names for this month’s Moon also reference animals & plants

Other Celebrations:

Neptunalia-July 23rd(approximately

The Neptunalia was an obscure archaic two-day festival in honor of Neptune as god of waters, celebrated at Rome in the heat and drought of summer. was one of the dies comitiales, when committees of citizens could vote on civil or criminal matters.

Neptune’s festival (Neptunalia) took place in the heat of the summer when water was scarcest; thus, its purpose was probably the propitiation of the freshwater deity. Neptune had a temple in the Circus Flaminius at Rome; one of its features was a sculptured group of marine deities headed by Poseidon.

Respecting the ceremonies of this festival nothing is known, except that the people used to build huts of branches & foliage(Umbrae), in which they probably feasted, drank, and amused themselves. Ancient calendars describe the days. Entertainment would have probably also included horse racing, with competitors racing round the track & circling ‘turning posts’ (metas) at either end of the Circus.

"Really?"

Yes, really. A little summer doodle despite biting winter cold. Just a Chai-berry being amused at the overaction of a Pael-berry. This is probably the most water Pael's ever seen in one spot. (Chai is belongs to @trashfaun)

I still think Primavera is the best 45 min of television ever.

PS: And the episode commentary with Hugh Dancy and Bryan Fuller + Patton Oswalt coming in out of nowhere is the best commentary ever.
