SATURN Saturn was in fact a king of the fertileregion that stretches along the banks of the Tiber, in Rome, on each side. He presentedhimself to Janus, and received kindly by him, proceeded to teach his subjects the arts ofgardening and agriculture, as well as how to nurse the vine, and how to tend and cultivate fruittrees. Having performed such wonderful work for his king, he was invited by Janus to share thereign of the region with him, and the two ruled jointly. During Saturn's rule the land thrived and the people were happy, with innocence, freedom and love all through the land, so much sothat the period of his reign was known as a golden age. His wife was Ops.
