Julian 2003 Aug 27 — VOLTVRNALIA
ANTE DIEM VI CALENDAS SEPTEMBRIS MMDCCLVI A.V.C
Explanation
of various calendars
The Volturnalia is a festival
dedicated to Volturnus, the river god (of the Tiber) and an alter-ego of Janus.
Volturnus was the father of the goddess Juturna and they were both honored
this day with feasting, wine-drinking and games.
In Egypt, this day was known as the Nativity
of Isis. Although she was originally a foreign deity, the worship of Isis
became popular among many Romans. Isis was the daughter of the earth god Geb
and the sky goddess Nut. [Isis started out with a big handicap: her mother
was a Nut! And her brother spread chaos.]
