Opening of the Ludi Novi Romani

Aedilis Curulis Sta. Cornelia Valeriana Iuliana Aeternia Quiritibus salutem plurimam dicit.'

Salvete omnes!

The Ludi Novi Romani was created three years ago to commemorate the annual anniversary of Nova Roma's founding. This year we are following that tradition and celebrating with the big number "XIII". A day for each year that Nova Roma has been in existence. This set of Curule Aediles and their Aedilician Cohors have worked extremely hard to present their fellow citizens and friends with activities and spectacles in mass bounties. We have had many pitfalls within the last year of our Republic, and we as one tribe have overcome that dark storm of sorrow. We ask all citizens from every walk of life to rejoice and celebrate in Nova Roma's next phase of life, with contests and quizzes galore, gladiatorial combats, a magnificent tribute to the Sea, and listen to myths retold by the fireside.

In the end we simply encourage you all to Carpe Diem and LET US ALL HAVE FUN!

Valete omnes!
