We explore the true political, societal and economical motives behind one of the world's favourite holiday traditions and think about what it can still teach us today. ------------------------------------------------- Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/Ciceroni With Ciceroni we seek to be a guide to European culture and history. We make videos on little known subjects as well as more ubiquitous ones, ranging from current affairs like the European Union, to historic events like the Tulip Mania, and even mythological stories like those of the Greek Gods. In all these videos we strive to present the subjects in a objective manner and within their complex context.
