It is said that they were introduced into Italy at an early period; although, from the assertion of Livy, it would seem that they were not known at Rome until a later date, and that even then their celebration was kept a profound secret. When, however, we state the natujre and frequency of these orgies, this account will be received with great suspicion. The Bacchanalia were celebrated, at first, three days in every year, and that in the day-time, when women only were admitted, and matrons perf...ormed the necessary priestly offices ; until, at length, !^aculla Minia, a Campanian matron, being priestess, professed to have received a mission from the god, by which she was charged to alter the time of celebration from throe days in the year to five days in the month, and also to allow men to be initiated and to celebrate these orgies at night-time. Thenceforward, accord- ing to Livy, these rites became scenes of the most abominable pro- ceedings, of which the licentious intercourse between the sexes was the least evil.
