Ancient Roman Volturnalia, celebrated on August 27, was a festival honoring Volturnus, the god of rivers and waters. The Romans believed he controlled the flow of rivers, which was important for farming and daily life. During the festival, they would have fun events and make offerings to thank him for providing water. They might have races, games, and meals together, thanking Volturnus for keeping the rivers flowing smoothly. It was a day for people to remember how important water was and to celebrate the gifts of nature that helped their crops grow and kept everything green.
