expat Posted October 11 · Supporter Share Posted October 11 Meditrinalia, celebrated on 11th October,was a Roman festival of unclear significance, was celebrated in honor of the new vintage. At the time, the wine from new years was drunk. Thus people wanted to gain favor from the gods. Post your drink related coins. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerosmyfavorite68 Posted October 11 · Member Share Posted October 11 None of mine come to mind. That's quite a coincidence, since I returned from the store with mead and spiced wine. The Romans were on to something; spiced wine can be quite decent. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
