Named after Anna Perenna, the ancient Roman goddess of the seasons—her name invoking the idea of the "ring" of the year—this shawlete pattern also connects to rich historical significance. The festival honoring Anna Perenna occurred on the Ides of March (March 15), coinciding with the first full moon of the lunar Roman calendar when March was celebrated as the year's first month.
