Speaking of History

[bardiphouka]

Today, if one were a Roman in ancient times, would be the first day of Carmentalia. A feast (which the Romans did ever so well) that lasted 4 days to honour Carmenta, a sort of goddess of childbirth and prophecy. Mostly, we are told, celebrated by women. Personally I can see how prophecy can be ever so handy after childbirth. Especially once the child starts self locomotion.

Of course if one were an ancient Roman I am not sure that childbirth would be that important. And prophecy something to perhaps be avoided.
