You’d also get to watch a mildly snazzy fireworks display over the celebrating city, secure in the knowledge that your satisfied subjects were less likely to defect en masse to a rival power.

Civilization’s denizens obviously aren’t quite as into celebrating the holiday as they used to be.

But when we look at our weathered old screenshots of half-stone age/half-classical Greek palaces, it’ll always be special to us.
Hey, remember this? This probably happened on a holiday, right?
