The Perseids meteor shower is among the most stunning and most massive of meteor showers. This is due to the fact that Comet 109P/SwiftTuttle is the culprit. It is visible from the Northern Hemisphere. But, since the Southern Hemisphere is home to some of the most stunning fireballs, it makes sense to also be able to observe the phenomenon from that region.
There are four major meteor showers each year. One of the most famous meteor showers is the Quadrantid. This one is famous for its small but very powerful peak. The other is the Lyrid. It is famous for the odd surges it produces. Furthermore the Geminid is renowned for its sexy appearance.

Ludi Ceriales was another celebration to pay tribute to Ceres (the harvest goddess). Since the year 202 BC, Ludi Ceriales celebrations were recorded.
Vestalia, Saturnalia, and Neptunalia were among the well-known Roman celebrations. These celebrations were originally held to honor Mars who was the god of war.
