The Galerian Funeral Games
The senate of Nova Roma, upon the decree of the collegium pontificum suggested by a motion of Cn. Lentulus, has awarded the recently deceased Ti. Galerius Paulinus a censorial state funeral which was held on 11th November, and an Official State Mourning was held on the days preceding and following his funeral (10th-12th November). In honor of Ti. Galerius Paulinus, the senate also ordered to issue Nova Roman coins in his memory and to hold these LUDI GALERII, the "Galerian Games" to conclude the ceremonies of remembrance. The decree of the senate mandates the following: "The senate also instructs all aediles (curule and plebeian) collegially as a body to hold public funerary games in honor and in memory of Ti. Galerius Paulinus no later than within one month after the funus censorium. The memorial funerary games shall be called Ludi Galerii (Galerian Games) and shall include virtual munera gladiatoria and a biography contest about the life and Roman activities of Ti. Paulinus. The rest of the programs, including the length of the games, is at the discretion of the curule and plebeian aediles, but they shall not exceed 5 days." The aedilis plebis A. Iulius Paterculus edicted that the ludi Galerii shall be held between 16th-18th December.
