Ludi Romani (Nova Roma)/Certamen Historicum de Legione XXI Rapace

Certamen Historicum de Legione XXI Rapace

INTRODUCTION:

Welcome to the Ludi Romani, and to our quiz!

As part of our ludi Romani, this year we are commemorate the 1920th anniversary of the destruction of the legio XXI Rapax, one of the oldest and most famous Roman legions which is also important for us, Nova Romans, because we have a long established and very active reenactment unit of the legio XXI Rapax in Nova Roma. We, Nova Romans, seek to bring back the memory of the golden times of the ancient world, but where our ancestors spread their civilization through the sword and the legions, we intend the same result through education, the spread of knowledge and through our giving virtuous example.Although this is true, we would like to honor the Manes of those soldiers of Rome who fought for their country, for their legion and for their fellow citizens. 1920 years ago, many good Romans died for the idea what is now called Eternal Rome, and what we represent here in Nova Roma. We dedicate these games to the Manes of those brave soldiers of the legio XXI Rapax, and to the devine Genius of the legio XXI Rapax. We are grateful to the legio XXI Rapax not only because of their dedication and braveness, but also because they inspire reenactors all over the world, and reenactment legions, like that of the Nova Roman legio XXI Rapax, attract several people today who become our citizens tomorrow - which is very similar how it worked in ancient Rome where the legion was often a gate to Roman citizenship.
