A Roman Catholic Cardinal’s Black Saturno and Saturn
Another name for the Saturno is Capello Romano, literally “Roman hat” in the Italian language. This
association of the Saturnian hat design with Rome is readily explained as one remembers that Rome
was formerly called Saturnia, and Italy has from ancient times been known as “the Saturnian land.”
The worship of Saturn was so associated with Rome that references to Saturn became inextricably

As was mentioned previously, Numa, the second King of Rome, laid the foundation for the College
of Pontiffs. This was the ruling ecclesiastical body of Rome. In essence the College of Pontiffs

the deities they represent is further evinced in the names of the days of the week of the Roman
calendar, an association that continues in use to this day, though some of the names are obscured by
their Anglo-Saxon equivalents.

Thurs-day (Day devoted to the worship of Thor, the Roman Jupiter)
Fri-day (Day devoted to the worship of Freya, the Roman Venus)
Satur-Day (Day devoted to the worship of Saturn)
The pontiffs were the guardians and purveyors of the worship of the gods of Rome. The College of
Pontiffs is preserved to this day in the Roman Catholic Church as the Pope has for many centuries
borne the title of Pontifex Maximus. To this day, schools that train men for the Roman Catholic
