When was the last time you could have taken part in a bacchanalia?

The last legal bacchanalia was in the second century B.C. before the Roman senate banned this festival honoring Bacchus, the Roman god of wine.

Originally a religious rite celebrated only by women, it eventually included men and became an excuse for drunken orgies.
