Break out your scrolls and styli, this game draws on your knowledge of all things all around.

Ludi Certamen: Regulations

The games were always intended to be fun for the participants, and that is true here too. The Certamen of these Ludi Cereales will not be limited in scope to plebeian history, or even Roman history; every bit of knowledge out there is fair game for these ludi, and things far and wide shall be asked. Answers and results will be given on the final day of the games, 19 April.

The regulations are simple to follow, and are these:

Entry

  1. All citizens are invited to participate in these games. The greater the participation, the greater the fun.
  2. Responses to the questions posed must be submitted to Aedilis Metellus with "Ludi Cereales Certamen" in the Subject line. Responses must also include the name of the citizen entering the games, the number corresponding to the questions being answered, and, of course, the answers themselves.
  3. Responses must give complete answer to the question. If ever there is a question, the presiding aedile reserves the right to reject a response or request clarification of an answer.
  4. Answers to all questions must be received by 06:00 a.m. Roman Time, 19 April to be considered.

Rules

  1. Disqualification: An entrant may be disqualified for giving answers to other competitors. It rests at the discretion of the presiding aedilis whether an entrant should be disqualified.
  2. Qualification: A citizen wishing to enjoy oneself while expanding their knowledge and showing one's knowledge is qualified to participate.


And so, Quirites, on to the games
