At the end of March, the Roman goddess Anna Perez celebrated.

The assassination of Caesar in March 15 BC was a turning point in Roman history.

Centuries later, in 160 1 Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, the fortune teller found the word "beware of Ides in March" in his message to Julius Caesar, warning him to die.

Since then, Ides in March has been notorious for being associated with death.

However, long before Ides was associated with the murder of Julius Caesar in March, this day was the celebration day of Anna Pelina, an ancient goddess deeply loved by ordinary people. She recreates the fasting Virgin Mary or the Roman calendar (baugril/CC by-SA 4.

This sacred grove is also famous for its graves and cemeteries.

People will have a picnic happily until late at night.

They will hold banquets, dance, sing and drink, and drink to health and longevity.

In Saturnalia 1. 12.6, Macro Bius mentioned the public and private donations to Anna Pelina and the public toilet liccat of Anna Pelina Lake (the cycle in a year may be completed happily).

Because people believe that a person can live as many years as he can drink, getting drunk is of course a tradition.
