ANNOUNCEMENT OF LUDI CERIALES 2671 AUC

Salvete omnes.

As part of this year's Ludi Ceriales (April 21th to 27th) a literary contest, a chariot race and an historical quiz shall take place.


CHARIOT RACE

Subscriptions for this year's first batch of chariot races are currently closed.

The first round of the Quarter-finals shall take place tomorrow in the late afternoon.

The racing chariots are:

  • Germanica, driven by Antropopohagus, entered by Decimus Arminius Brutus for Factio Russata
  • Vita Brevis, driven by Petronius Gnipho, entered by Gneus Equitius Marinus for Factio Albata
  • Celer, driven by Impulsor the Syrian, entered by Tiberius Galerius Paulinus for Factio Veneta

LITERARY CONTEST

Please refer to the 2671 Literary contest page.


HISTORICAL QUIZ

From April 21 onwards, an historical quiz based on famous Latin quotations, entitled Ipse dixit, shall take place on the main Nova Roma mailing list. I will be posting questions relating to a famous phrase in Latin (3 questions for each phrase). The phrases shall come from various periods of ancient Roman history, including the Christian one - which means that at least one quotation from a Gospel shall be included in the quiz. The religious significance of a phrase, if any, shall not interfere with the Religio Romana or with the personal beliefs of any citizens.

All Nova Roman citizens from all Provinciæ may enter the quiz.

The scoring shall be as follows:

  • 2 points for each correct answer
  • 0 points for each wrong answer
  • -1 points for each missing answer (not given)

The quiz shall happen in 6 rounds, each one relating to a phrase and its own set of questions. At the end of the six rounds, the highest-scoring citizen will be the winner and will be rewarded with a new NR coin, as well as a place of honor on the Ludi Ceriales page. If two or more citizens obtain an equal score at the end, a special tie-break round will follow, with individual questions addressed to each top-scoring entrant.

All answers to the historical quiz should not be posted on the main list, but sent privately to me (ugo.coppola@tin.it).
