Saturn's reign is often referred to as "The Golden Age" because it represents a time of peace, prosperity, and abundance in Roman mythology and literature. According to myth, during the rule of Saturn (the Roman equivalent of the Greek god Cronus), there were no wars, no crime, and the land provided bountiful harvests without the need for hard labor.
People lived in harmony with each other and nature, and there was a sense of equality among all. This idyllic period is often associated with the idea of a utopian society where humanity thrived without the burdens that came later in civilization, such as greed, conflict, and inequality. The concept of a Golden Age has been echoed in various cultures and often symbolizes a time when life was perceived to be better than in subsequent eras. In Roman culture, this age was later celebrated in festivals such as the Saturnalia, which honored Saturn and emphasized social equality and communal festivity.
