Carnivals started in the middle of the second century in Rome when Lent (fasting) was preceded by many days of feasting and voluntary madness. The participants put on masks and clothed themselves like spirits. They gave themselves up to Bacchus and Venus (Roman gods) and considered all pleasure acceptable.
