Revision as of 20:22, 11 April 2012
This page is maintained under authority of the Plebeian Aediles
On behalf of the Ædilitas Plebis of Nova Roma, and especially of his colleague Gaius Marcius Crispus, Publius Annæus Constantinus Placidus welcomes all citizens of Nova Roma to this year's edition of Ludi Ceriales. In ancient Rome, these Ludi were celebrated from April 12 to April in honor of Ceres, the goodess of harvests. Similarily, here in our Res Publica, games will be held during these very same days. I solemnly swear here that I shall do my very best to make these Ludi entertaining, fun and pleasure-filled for everyone who will join them, and also for all people who prefer to just follow the events without taking part actively - you are all welcome! So now, without further ado, allow me to give the starting whistle to this new edition of Ludi Ceriales.
I hereby declare the 2765 edition of Ludi Ceriales officially OPEN!
Optime valete omnes,
Publius Annæus Constantinus Placidus
Ædilis Plebis Novæ Romæ
LUDI CERIALES 2765 auc
. As part of the Ludi, a Virtual Chariot Race and a linguistical/historical quiz will take place besides the traditional religious rituals.

LINGUISTICAL/HISTORICAL QUIZ: IPSE DIXIT, PART 4
In the upcoming Ludi Ceriales, a linguistical/historical quiz based on famous Latin sentences will be held. Every day, two famous quotes will be posted on the main list, and you will be asked three questions for each quote. The first two questions will always be respectively about translating the sentence into English and identifying its writer and/or its source, while the third question may vary. More detailed rules and scores will be posted regularily on the main list, while this space will be updated with the questions and the standings of citizens who answered.
Again, on behalf of the entire Ædilitas Plebis and my colleague Crispus, I wish you all the best of times during these Ludi!
P. Annæus Constantinus Placidus
Ædilis Plebis Novæ Romæ
