 As Wiedemann points out, December was also the month for the Saturnalia, Saturn's festival, in which death was linked to renewal, and the lowest were honoured as the highest.The earliest "munera" took place at or near the tomb of the deceased and these were organised by their "munerator" (who made the offering).Later games were held by an "editor", either identical with the "munerator" or an official employed by him.
