Opening Remarks from the Aedilis curulis, L. Vitellius Triarius

Hodié prid. Non. Apr. ‡ St. Cornelia C. Aemilio cos. ‡ MMDCCLXVII a.u.c.

Salvete omnes!

On this morning, we remember the strife of the Roman People during the 2nd Punic War with Carthage, the stories of the arrival on this day of the Magna Mater in ancient Rome.

At the altar of Victoria in my home this morning, I offered incense and prayers to the goddess Cybele, the Magna Mater, on behalf of the Senate and Peoples of Nova Roma. As well, offerings and prayers were given to Father Iuppiter, Father Apollo, Mother Minerva, Mother Fortuna, and Mother Bellona, also honored during these games.

With this, as Aedilis curulis, I officially open these games and present to you the Editor of the Games for this year’s Megalesia, Tib. Cassius Atellus, and Pontifex Cn. Cornelius Lentulus for the Opening Rites.

Let us honor the Magna Mater and let the games begin!

Optime valete,
