Had to click the link to get to the bit about Plutarch’s Lives and the mention of Caesar refusing a crown on that day. That’s referenced in Shakespeare’s play, as well as the name of the day itself in the first scene where Flavius and Marullus are chasing away crowds who had come to honor Caesar and to remove decorations on the images of Caesar, on “the feast of Lupercal”.

sounds like great fun!
maybe Biden will implement a national paid holiday for us to celebrate it (and temporarily forget how screwed up he’s getting the country)

“Lupercalia was a bloody, violent and sexually charged celebration awash with animal sacrifice, random matchmaking and coupling in the hopes of warding off evil spirits and infertility.”
Typical Friday at the local dive bar.

Although Valentine’s Day shares its name with a martyred Christian saint, some historians believe the holiday is actually an offshoot of Lupercalia. We call those people "Bloody Idiots".

it is instructive to note how the Roman Empire started sliding down its infamous path to extinction after Lupercalia was “woke-ified”

So, it’s like a weekend party in the White House then.

*ahem*
One perk of the lupercalia was that it was an opportune time to get rid of one’s political opponents. Beware the ides of March!
