{{CuruleAediles}} [[Image:Concordialia 035.jpg|200px|right]] '''The ''Ludi Novi Romani'' are the games celebrating the founding of Nova Roma, 14 years ago.''' == Concordialia ritual this year == Pontifex Cn. Cornelius Lentulus has performed the Concordialia ritual today. * '''SEE OUR''' [[Ludi Novi Romani/MMDCCLXIII/Concordialia|Photo Report of a Previous Concordialia Ceremony]] <div style="float:center; padding: 0em 1em 0em 0em">__TOC__</div> == Opening of the Ludi Novi Romani == ''Aedilis Curulis C. Maria Caeca Quiritibus salutem plurimam dicit.''' ''Salvete omnes!'' I came here, 4 years ago, from another email list, read the web site (then the old one), and was amazed and fascinated. That anyone was trying to do this intrigued me. That a whole *group* of people were in the process of doing it, people from all over the world, tied together only by the internet, caused me to ask so many questions that it took me over a year to get them all answered, but I knew one thing. Well, 2 things, actually. First, I believed then, and believe now, that the Roman republic had contributed immeasurably to Western civilization, and that anything that stemmed from those roots, if it stayed true to its foundation, could and would contribute something of value in my time, and 2. I wanted to be a part of this bold, impossible, wonderful dream and project. I spent my first year here pestering anyone who would bear with me about everything Nova Roman, reading the web site, reading every post, and writing down more questions. I found kind, patient people, both on and off several lists, who didn't mind answering my questions, who referred me to excellent source material, and who encouraged me to become active. It didn't take much encouragement, I admit, and soon I did, working as a scribe, posting from time to time, and making a few friends. I watched while this community made mistakes and recovered from them. Things that didn't work got tried and set aside or modified. Politics got debated, often with vigor, people came and left, and sometimes we went too fast and had to pull back, re-evaluate, and try again. Thing is, we *always* tried again, and I have confidence that we always will, because the vision stands, and the vision stays in tact. What changes is the road we take to achieve it, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot, but we manage to find a way, and whether it is a smooth road or an impassible morass, we keep journeying, because nothing short of that is acceptable, not to Romans, ancient or modern. When I was so very ill last year, I realized emphatically just how much this community has come to mean to me, personally. I think it might have been the first thing I asked about when I could finally receive phone calls, but others will have to confirm that. That told me something, though, and it is something I won't ever forget. If something, be it a really fine book a piece of great art work, timeless music, genuine friendship, or a community of people striving for the same goal takes root and flourishes within you, it becomes a part of your internal structure; so much a part of you that you carry it inside you, and are influenced by it, are altered by it, and if it is something like a community in which you are deeply involved, you have an influence on that, too. You are part of its shaping, whether you will it or not, and whether you consciously contribute to it or not. I think it is important for all of us, including our newest citizens, to remember this. When you came here, you carried your skills and talents in with you. You brought your perspectives and experience; your expectations, hopes and interest in things Roman, and you brought yourselves...your very human wish to establish contact with others perhaps your desire to make some friends of like mind, your sense of humor, and your willingness and ability to be a part of this incredible construct. You can do so, and I hope you will. One of the very best places to begin contributing is in the Ludi. One of the functions these games serve is to strengthen that invisible mesh that holds us all, scattered as we are by geography, language, culture and experience, together, and makes us a definable group ...a community. No, we aren't discussing vital, urgent matters. In fact, we are having fun ...and it is our shared laughter and enjoyment that will, ultimately bind us, and make it possible to deal with those vital, urgent issues, because we will know that, beneath the passionate, heated debates, we have said yes to our vision, and we have committed ourselves to that affirmation. So, citizens of Nova Roma, enjoy this, our 14th birthday party, in any you way you chose! Have a grand time ...but understand that the Ludi aren't just spectacles. They are many things, and they are an integral art of the life of this, our Nova Roma. ''Nova Romana sum. Semper Nova Romana ero!'' :"O Great Jupiter Capitoline, :and You, Mars, founder and bearer of the Roman Name, :and You, Concordia, creative force of Our Nation's Unity, :and You, Vesta, keeper of the Eternal Flame, :and all of You, eternal Gods, :who raised this mass of the Roman Republic :to the highest glories of the world, :I pray and invoke You in the name of the New Roman People: :knit together the many threads of our endeavors, :strengthen our service to the Republic of Nova Roma, :and let any action or intention which does not meet with Your approbation dwindle. :For the sake of these very things, may you be honored by this incense." I, Gaia Maria Caeca, Curule Aedile of Nova Roma for this year, hereby proclaim the Ludi Novi Romani of 2765 open! Let us, fellow citizens, honor our gods, honor our Nova Roma, 14 years old today, and honor one another with our competitions, feasts and celebrations. LET THE GAMES BEGIN! :C.
