Felix Lupercalia!

…is probably not what anyone in ancient Rome would’ve said at this time of year!

But I wish you a Happy #Lupercalia all the same!

You may have heard the term bandied around a bit the last couple of days, or at this time of year previously. So here’s a quick primer on Lupercalia if you’re not familiar. 👇🐺

I have always loved this sculpture. It represents Janus, Roman god of gates, doorways, beginnings, and endings, and Bellona, Roman goddess of war. It was made by Johann Wilhelm Beyer, 1773-80 CE, and you can find it in the Schönbrunn Garden, Vienna.
