Opening of the Ludi Megalenses

Ædilis Curulis P. Annæus Constantinus Placidus omnibus civibus, peregrinisque bonæ voluntatis salutem plurimam dicit.

Salvete omnes!

This week we honor the Sacred Protectress of Rome. Today is the start of the Ludi Megalesia in honor of the Great Mother, the Magna Mater, the Mother of all living creatures and the less tame aspects within nature. Over the next 7 days with the last day being April 10th we will have games in the honor of She who in antiquity was worshipped from the highest mountaintops to the depths of her beloved virgin forests of pine, fir and maple. She was honored in 5 Temples in Rome In ancient times the arrival of the statue of the Goddess was celebrated in a glorious procession, lectisernia and games! Citizens and visitors alike crowded Rome to lay gifts at the feet of the Great Mother on the Captitol.

This is the time of great rejoicing, participation in games and feasting for all Novi Romani! Our games will include theatric and scenic themes of ancient Roman and Nova Roman life in keeping the spirit of the games of antiquity when pastoral plays were held in on the Palatine in front of Magna Mater's temple and also in the theaters.

This is a time of good will for all Novi Romani, for getting along with our fellow citizens and for joy and happiness! Let us all enjoy this feast and join in the games forgetting for a least a little while the mundane!

Without any further delay I offer to you all a warm and heartfelt WELCOME to this new edition of the LUDI MEGALESES!

Hereby I do declare the Ludi Megaleses of Nova Roma OPEN!

Optime valete omnes!

P. Annæus Constantinus Placidus Ædilis Curulis Novæ Romæ
