	After the ''pompa'', a Roman festival always continued with a sacrifice. The sacrificial ceremony was the heart of the event. The Ludi Romani were officially opened in Plovdiv by Ti. Claudius and A.

	''Munus'' in Latin means "gift". A gift for the deceased. This was the origin of the gladiatorial games, where the combat and the eventual death of gladiators were offered as gifts to the [[Manes]] of the dead. As part of our Ludi Romani, we offered the combats of gladiators to please and placate the immortal spirits of the soldiers of the Rapax, and also, to honor Iuppiter, who is in the center of these games. This was our gift to the Manes and Genius of Rapax, and to father Iuppter.		''Munus'' in Latin means "gift". A gift for the deceased.

		+	Every Roman festival started with a ceremonial procession, called the ''[[pompa]]''. In Szolnok, the citizens of the Nova Roman province of [[Provincia Pannonia (Nova Roma)\|Pannonia]] did the same in order to open their Ludi Romani celebration. The ''pompa'' started with a big procession of the legion, together with other reenactment groups and organizations participating in the [http://szolnokinaplo.hu/kepgaleria/2012/09/09/gulyas-hirmondo-2012 Szolnoki Gulyásfesztivál] and finished with a small parade and muster of the legionary unit at the location of their camp, where the Ludi Romani were held.

	==== The sacrifice ====		==== The sacrifice ====

		+	After the ''pompa'', a Roman festival always continued with a sacrifice. The sacrificial ceremony was the heart of the event. The Ludi Romani were officially opened in Plovdiv by Ti. Claudius and A. Vitellius, mandated by ''aedilis curulis'' [[Gaia Maria Caeca (Nova Roma)\|C. Maria Caeca]], and here, in Szolnok, there was the main sacrifice to Iuppiter, in honor of whom the Ludi Romani are traditionally held. But we had two other significant purposes of this year's Ludi Romani: the 1800th Anniversary of the Constitutio Antoniniana, and the 1920th Anniversary of the destruction of Legio XXI Rapax. The sacrifices performed by ''pontifex'' Cn. Lentulus continue the ceremonial events of the Ludi Romani started in Plovdiv.

		+	When ancient Romans finished the religious ceremonies of a festival, there usually followed the ''ludi circenses'', chariot and horse races, gladiatorial or athletic combats, and theater plays: we offered both gladiatorial games and a memorial battle.
		+	<br>After the ceremony, Cn. Lentulus resumes his centurion equipment to command the memorial battle in honor of that fatal battle in 92 AD, 1920 years ago. The memorial battle evokes resemblance to the ancient theatrical gladiatorial battles where the Romans themselves watched bloody reenactments of their historical battles. In line with that tradition, our reenactment legion honors the memory of the last day of the Legio XXI Rapax with a reenactment battle, as part of the Ludi Romani.

This was the origin of the gladiatorial games, where the combat and the eventual death of gladiators were offered as gifts to the [[Manes]] of the dead. As part of our Ludi Romani, we offered the combats of gladiators to please and placate the immortal spirits of the soldiers of the Rapax, and also, to honor Iuppiter, who is in the center of these games. This was our gift to the Manes and Genius of Rapax, and to father Iuppter.
