In 186 BC, Rome was shaken by the Bacchanalia scandal—an event marked by widespread fear of moral decay and political conspiracy. Secretive ceremonies honouring the god Bacchus spread rapidly, attracting women, youth, and slaves. The Roman senate, alarmed by what they viewed as threats to societal order and traditional values, brutally suppressed these rituals, imprisoning and executing thousands.
Poem:
Beneath the stars in 186 BC,in hidden gardens of the night,a wine-red whisper rose,binding hearts togetherin ecstasy's dance.
Between cypress trees, beneath moonlight glow,women danced barefoot,their flowing hair a rebellion against Rome,ecstasy flourished,and society's chains were forgotten.
Yet behind senatorial gates,fear awoke in darkness,guardians of power whispered:“A hidden poison spreads,the women's laughter will shatter our world.”
Bacchus' realm toppled,an empire threatened by joy,and thousands of lights extinguished,punished for loving too deeply,and dancing too freely,in secrecy.
They named it sin, rebellion, danger,with a stern inscription carved in stone,and in blood and silencethe dreams of ecstasy perished.
Under the moon's watch, the wine kingdom fell silent,a shadow of silence spread,and women's laughter ceased,as senators' morals became law,and the night lost its magic.
Haikus:
Night whispers secrets—Rome’s fear shadows dancing feet,Wine spilled, laughter hushed.
Moonlight's hidden rites,Senate blades sharpen in fear—Ecstasy silenced.
Cypress trees bear witness,Women dancing, freedom's dream—Lost beneath Rome’s law.
Afterword:
History reminds us repeatedly of the fragility of knowledge and freedom. Events like the Bacchanalia scandal serve as poignant warnings of how swiftly fear and authoritarian power can erode human rights, silence voices, and erase culture. History did not begin with Columbus; as Europeans, we inhabit a deeper historical consciousness that spans thousands of years. Referring to events from the Roman Empire or later periods is not merely nostalgic or irrelevant—it's essential. The echoes of censorship and book burnings throughout time caution us today: safeguarding intellectual freedom is essential to protecting truth and democracy from alternative realities shaped by oppression, fear, and historical amnesia.
