During the holidays, the Roman Theatre Museum proposes a visit for people of all ages in which the public will move the traditions and customs of the festival of Saturnalia.
There will also be a tour through the museum, where details of the festivities guided by Augustus himself be discovered.
The event will end with an invitation to sing a carol in the theater itself.
