Concordialia ritual this year for the 15th Anniversary

Pontifex Cn. Cornelius Lentulus has performed the Concordialia ritual today (1st March) for the 15th Anniversary of Nova Roma.

REMEMBERING: Looking back to the 10th Anniversary MMDCCLXI

Re-view the video made about the 10th Anniversary Concordialia sacrificial ceremony here:

The video was made about the official 10th Anniversary Celebration of the founding of Nova Roma, the 10th birthday of Nova Roma, held on the Kalends of March, 2761 AUC, during the consulship of M. Moravius Piscinus Horatianus and T. Iulius Sabinus, organized by Cn. Cornelius Lentulus and Pannonian citizens of Nova Roma.

You can also hear the reading of the Latin variant of the Declaration of Nova Roma, our founding document, with subtitles, captured on the same day, recorded by Cn. Lentulus.

Opening of the Ludi Novi Romani

Ædilis Curulis P. Annæus Constantinus Placidus, et Scriba Cohortis Ædiliciæ Cn. Cornelius Lentulus, Quiritibus salutem plurimam dicunt.

Salvete omnes!

On behalf of the Cohors Ædilicia of Nova Roma, we are honored to give all of you a very warm welcome to this new edition of the LUDI NOVI ROMANI, celebrating the founding of Nova Roma today, on March 1st. This edition is particularily important for us all, because it is coming in the 15th Anniversary of the founding of our esteemed, thriving and beloved community called Nova Roma. Yes, it is indeed fifteen years ago that a small number of wise-minded people first got together and decided that it was the right time for them, and for us, to ideally go back to an older and certainly wiser time: the time when our forefathers lived, worked and made business according to a distinguished and noble set of virtues, which unfortunately are in danger of being somehow lost within our busy, noisy and fast-moving times of today. Ancient Rome represented for our founders, and certainly represents for us, much more than an example to follow and to live according to: it is our teacher, our guide, our beacon. Since then, those few people have become much, much more, spread everywhere: Europe, Australia, Asia, South and North America and Africa - all over the world. So, during the following days, we and our fellow Cohors members shall organize a number of games and activities, including of course a Virtual Chariot Race and a quiz based on Latin language, as well as a Nova Roman history contest, and, for the first time in Nova Roma history, a computer game championship with "Rome: Total War", to keep all of you entertained and delighted and, of course, to celebrate in the most fitting way the 15th Birthday of Nova Roma. May the Goddess Concordia look from above to all of us, may she be pleased by the sacrifices and by these sacrificial offering of games, may she protect us and give us all her blessings for a period of peace, growth and understanding over this Sacred Year of Concord, the 15th Anniversary of Nova Roma. The games will end on March 15, the sacred day of Anna Perenna, goddess of eternity and longevity, in order to wish eternal life to Nova Roma, and to have the blessings of Anna Perenna on our Rome Reborn.

Now, without further ado, please allow us to declare this new edition of the LUDI NOVI ROMANI for the year 2766 A.U.C. officially OPEN!

Optime valete omnes,
Publius Annæus Constantinus Placidus - Ædilis Curulis Novæ Romæ
Gnæus Cornelius Lentulus - Scriba Cohortis Ædiliciæ
