PARTICIPATION in the games

CHARIOT RACE

As sixteen chariot entries have already been received, the subscriptions to the Chariot Race are, as of now, officially closed. On behalf of the Ædilitas, Publius Annæus Constantinus Placidus would like to thank everyone for entering their chariots. The first quarterfinals are going to take place on March 3rd and 4th.

IPSE DIXIT, EDITION III

From March 1st to March 12th, a series of 12 quiz items based on Latin quotes (famous ones, not-so-famous ones and little-known ones) shall be posted on the main NR list. Each item shall include a Latin quote and 2 or 3 questions about it. Anyone who wishes to participate should send their answers privately to P. Ann. Con. Placidus - ugo.coppola@tin.it - rather than to the main NR list. The game is open to all citizens - Consules, Censores, Prætores, Quæstores, Ædiles, members of the Cohors Ædilicia, and ordinary citizens... everyone may join in! All the items shall also be posted here after they have appeared on the main list, so that anyone who is late or may have missed previous items is always able to catch up.

The scores shall be as follows:

• 2 points for each correct answer;
• 0 points for each wrong answer;
• -1 (minus one) point for each absent (not given) answer.

At the end of the quiz, when all 12 items will have been posted and the respective answers shall be revealed, the citizen with the highest score will be the winner; the reward shall be a new Nova Roman Sestertius created by G. Vipsanius Agrippa.

Keep watching this space during the next days for current standings and other news.

Moravius Piscinus Horatianus and T. Iulius Sabinus, organized by Cn. Cornelius Lentulus and Pannonian citizens of Nova Roma.
