Roman Customs that persist in modern (Italian etc) society
#8
One of the Pope's titles is PontifexMaximus. The bishop's crook is identical to the lituus of the roman Augurate.
In Spain until the 19th century there was an equestrian game called the "jugo de canos" (game of canes) in which two teams of horsemen, one dressed as Moors, the other as Christians, rode at each other in turn and cast canes at one another, same as the hippakia gymnasia.
