{{Wikipediainfo}}'''{{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 equal to their masters. A theory existed that [[25 December]] was chosen for the date of [[Christmas]] because Saturnalia already existed on that date.

In the 1st century 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]]'')
