'''{{PAGENAME}}''' was a popular [[Roman]] holiday dedicated to the god [[Saturn (The Best of Days)|Saturn]]. It included [[sacrifice]], and many people gave small [[statue]]ttes of Saturn to their friends. The ceremony culminated with the unbinding of the feet of a giant statue of Saturn. During this holiday, masters and [[slave]]s traded positions for the day, with the slaves being nearly equal to their masters, but still had to do things like the [[washing up]]. | |||
In [[BC#1st century|47 BC]], the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]] visited [[Rome]] during Saturnalia. During this time, the god Saturn awoke and took control of the slaves, trying to incite them to rebellion. Saturn's wife, [[Rhea (The Best of Days)|Rhea]], with the help of the Doctor and Ace, defeated him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Best of Days (short story)|The Best of Days]]'') | |||
