>>> Here in southern Arizona, we are having a meeting of various Novi Romani on the 13th of July at a local Greek restaurant (the closest we could find to a Roman restaurant :-) ). It looks like we'll have 5 to 7 people attending; I'm excited! <<<


That indeed sounds wonderful! Congratulations! Just don't forget to make photos of the event and then to put them into the NR website. We need some visible evidence about our real presence in the world, so we need every photo of NR events.

Don't forget to make them!!! :-)

>I was proud to be a citizen of our republic "to-be"!


>>> I was, too (well, soon enough; my provisional citizenship period ends in a couple of weeks or so)! <<<


Your citizenship will be dated from the day you had applied. So, from a future viewpoint, you are already a full right citizen.


>>> May we have more wonderful events like this! They are a wonderful reflection on Nova Roma and its citizens! <<<


We do have them! Such is yours, it is one, and such is the 4th NR Reenactment Camp in Szolnok, Pannonia province, from tomorrow, and  such will be 5 or 6 or even more NR events in Hungary.

Cura, ut valeas!

Salvete Quirites,

During a rather bad year (212 BCE) in the Second Punic War (though they did have a good win at Syracuse) and several years after their crushing defeat by the Carthaginian Hannibal at the Battle of Cannae, the Romans consulted the ancient seer Marcius for his reading from the sacred texts, the Sibylline Oracles. Marcius advised them to hold games in honour of the Greek sun god, Apollon, in order to obtain his aid. Four years later when a plague broke out, the senators of Rome decided to make the Ludi Apollinares permanent and over the course of the next two centuries the games came to be a festival lasting eight days, the principal sacrifice being made on July 13.

It was stated by some of the ancient annalists that these ludi were instituted for the purpose of obtaining from Apollo the protection of human life during the hottest season of summer; but Livy and Macrobius adopt the account founded upon the most authentic document, the carmina Marciana themselves, that the Apollinarian games were instituted partly to obtain the aid of Apollo in expelling the Carthaginians from Italy, and partly to preserve, through the favour of the god, the republic from all dangers. The oracle suggested that the games should be held every year under the superintendence of the praetor urbanus, and that ten men should perform the sacrifices according to Greek rites. The senate complying with the advice of the oracle made two senatusconsulta; one that, at the end of the games, the praetor should receive 12,000 ases to be expended on the solemnities and sacrifices, and another that the ten men should sacrifice to Apollo, according to Greek rites, a bull with gilt horns and two white goats also with gilt horns, and to Latona a heifer with gilt horns. The games themselves were held in the Circus Maximus, the spectators were adorned with chaplets, and each citizen gave a contribution towards defraying the expenses. The Roman matrons performed supplications, the people took their meals in the propatulum with open doors, and the whole day — for the festival lasted only one day — was filled up with ceremonies and various other rites. At this first celebration of the ludi Apollinares no decree was made respecting the annual repetition suggested by the oracle, so that in the first year they were simply ludi votivi or indictivi. The year after (211 BCE) the senate, on the proposal of the praetor Calpurnius, decreed that they should be repeated, and that in future they should be vowed afresh every year. The day on which they were held varied every year according to circumstances. A few years later, however (208 BC), when Rome and its vicinity were visited by a plague, the praetor urbanus, P. Licinius Varus, brought a bill before the people to ordain that the Apollinarian games should in future always be vowed and held on a certain day (dies status), on prid. Non. Quin. ‡, which day henceforward remained a dies sollemnis. The games thus became votivi et stativi, and continued to be conducted by the praetor urbanus.

In a brief but emotive ceremony, presided over by the Prætores of Nova Roma, the Ludi Apollinares were declared open yesterday, pr. Non. Quint. M. Moravio T. Iulio cos. MMDCCLXI a.V.c (July 6th, 2008)

I, Marcus Curiatius Complutensis, Prætor Urbanus, for myself and on the behalf of my colleague Marcus Iulius Severus, Prætor Peregrinus kindly ask you, Quirites, to join us and our Consuls, Magistrates and our whole Senate, to pray, with the support of our Collegium Pontificum and other religious officers, to the Great Apollo.

Come, O God, kind patron, come!  May you favor us in your presence. O Sol, whose light embraces the world, you orbit inexhaustible, forever returning, your face glowing on each day, your horses harnessed as a team to drive your chariot, with manes braided pleasantly they rise high, passing over rose-red clouds as you rein their frothing fires. Apollo, may every good fortune attend the Roman people, the Quirites. We beg and pray that you may increase the sovereign power and majesty of the Roman people, the Quirites, in war and peace; as you have always watched over us. Forever may you grant safety, victory and health to the Roman people, the Quirites. May you bestow your favor on the Roman people, the Quirites, and on the legions of the Roman people, the Quirites.  May you preserve the health and welfare of the people of Rome , the Quirites, and may you always remain willingly favorable and propitious to the people of Rome , the Quirites. May you be honored forever, and become favorable and propitious to the Roman people, the Quirites. Become favorable and propitious. An offering we gladly give You, Phoebus, a box of fragrant incense.

And last, allow me as Prætor Urbanus, to gladly announce to all the citizens of our Res publica:

Quirites, I declare our Ludi Apollinares open!
