![]() The famous Emperor Nero was once elected Saternalicius Princeps and later in his his rule, when his step-brother Britannicus was elected King of the Dice during Saturnalia, Nero was so enraged with jealousy at his popularity among their peers that the event is said to have led to his downfall. This king, or 'Ruler of Saturnalia' could, during the duration of the feast, order people to do just about whatever he wanted, no matter how ridiculous, and those present would obey! Guests could be ordered to soak each other with water, act ridiculously or strip naked - all in the name of creating chaos and misrule, but just like Cinderella, by the end of the ball, all returned to normal. On just this day every year, slaves could joke with and insult their masters in the fun-loving spirit of Saturnalia and not fear retribution! On a larger scale, during the great public feast a new king was elected, the Saturnalicius Princeps, who could be either an ordinary citizen or a slave. Slaves and their masters would swap clothes and the master served dinner to his family, and to his slaves. Saturnalia is a fever dream inspired in equal parts by authentic Sardinian culture and classic Italian giallo horror films. It was a time when the world was turned on its head! Even the slaves that resided in Ancient Rome were given the time of Saturnalia off to celebrate, and not only were they exempt from work, in some cases, they became master for the day.
