Happy Parilia (Roman festival). Peasants cleaned their livestock and made offerings to Pares, a god who'd challenge current clarified British legislation by being sometimes male and sometimes female. 21 April was also the traditional day that Romulus founded Rome

21 April is Parilia, the Roman festival honouring Pales, a pastoral deity. It’s said on this day two fishermen refused to observe her rites. In anger she turned them into an alder and a willow. They still haunt the riverbank, the willow trailing branches like lines cast for fish.

En el día de la fundación de Roma se celebraban las parilia, fiestas dedicadas a Pales, una divinidad protectora de la tierra y el ganado venerada por los pastores. Ellos encendían grandes hogueras sobre las que saltaban para complacer a la diosa y ofrecerle sus plegarias.

Once upon a time, 2,779 years ago #onthisday, to be precise, Rome was founded, Romulus famously slew his brother and, if that's not enough, they celebrated the Parilia, an ancient pastoral festival with some rites... rather beyond the pale.

En las parilia del año 121 el emperador Adriano consagró el nuevo templo dedicado a las diosas Venus y Roma. A partir de ese momento, la festividad pasó a ser conocida como romaia en honor de la diosa Roma en el día de la fundación de la ciudad.

It's been 2,779 (?) years ab urbe condita in 753 BCE — which puts #America250 in amusing perspective. Rome’s impossibly precise founding date, April 21, was chosen many centuries after the fact to align with the Parilia, an existing pastoral festival 🐑

Colossal named its first "de-extinct" dire wolves for the fratricidal founder of a now fallen empire and the twin he did in. These names... they've been gnawing at me! So, I wrote about lupine Romulus and Remus and snow-white mythmaking for @g-ehr.bsky.social.
