Cn. Cornelius Lentulus, sacerdos Concordialis, with a chorus of young Nova Roman citizens performing the Carmen Decennale "Rome To New Rome" by P. Ullerius Stephanus Venator, a poem written for celebrating the Tenth Anniversary of Nova Roma in 2008

The Ludi Novi Romani are the games celebrating the founding of Nova Roma, 16 years ago.

REMEMBERING: Concordialia MMDCCLXI Video

Enjoy the video made about the 10th Anniversary Concordialia here:

The video is 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

OPENING REMARKS

L. Vitellis Triarius et scribae omnibus salutem plurimam dicit.

Si valetis, bene est, ego valeo.

Salvete omnes!

On behalf of the Office of the Ædilis curulis of Nova Roma, we are honored to welcome you on this rainy morning in Roma to the 16th Annual Ludi Novi Romani and this, our birth day of the Respublica, the Concordalia!

I and my Cohors aedilicia, Pontifex Gn. Corneliu lentulus, C. Maria Caeca, L. Ulpius Atellus and Ti. Cassius Atellus, with our esteemed Consuls, Sta. Cornelia Aeternia and C. Aemilius Crassus, look forward to the coming days, where we will present to you games in honor of Father Ianus and Mother Concordia.

During the coming days, these games will consist of a Latin learning contest, a Rome Total War competition, a literary contest, virtual chariot racing and gladiatorial games, and some other unique and fun stuff.

As we have just recently completed the third lustrum for the Respublica, we now begin a new five-year period. It is fitting that these games be offered in honor of Father Ianus, the bringer of new beginnings, and to Mother Concordia, bringer of harmony to the Nova Roman people, the Quirites.

We shall invoke them and ask them to be benevolent and propitious to us during these games, beginning on the Kalends of Martius and continuing until the Ides.

Here in my home this morning, the House of the Vitellii, I performed, as part of the ceremonies of this Ludi and as a duty of my office as Ædilis curulus, the Kalends and Dies Natalis rites on behalf of the Nova Romani, which will be followed later this morning by the official opening ceremonial rites of the Concordalia and Ludi Novi Romani by our Pontifex, Gn. Cornelius Lentulus.


ÆDILICIAN KALENDS RITUAL

(ABLUTIO)

Washing both hands in clean water and with toga in capite velato, I prayed:

May this water cast out all impurities from my substance as from lead to gold. May this water cleanse my body of impurities, as the rain cleanses the air. Purify my mind. Purify my body. Purify my heart. It is so.

(PRAEFATIO)

Be you well, O Mother Iuno, Father Ianus, Mother Concordia, Lar familiaris, on these Kalends by offering you this incense, I pray good prayers so that you may be benevolent and propitious to my friends, to me, to my household and to my family.

Incense was placed in the focus of the altar.

(PRECATIO)

O Iuno mater, Mother of all, with this incense on these Kalends, I pray, worship, ask and beseech you so that you may confirm, strengthen and help the Respublica of Nova Roma, and save it from all discord; so that the Quirites of Nova Roma may always flourish and prosper; and, so that you may be benevolent and propitious to the Nova Romani, to our friends and allies, to me, to my household and to my family.

Incense was placed in the focus of the altar.

O Iane pater, with this incense on these Kalends, I pray, worship, ask and beseech you so that you may watch over these games in your honor by the Nova Romani, so that the Quirites of Nova Roma may enjoy and learn through these games and be renewed in faith of the successes and accomplishments of the Respublica, both past and future; bring us success in our newest beginning, O Genius of the Respublica, God of all creation and God of the Gods; and, so that you may be benevolent and propitious to the Nova Romani, to our friends and allies, to me, to my household and to my family.

Incense was placed in the focus of the altar.

O Concordia mater, with this incense on these Kalends, I pray, worship, ask and beseech you so that you may watch over these games in your honor by the Nova Romani, so that the Quirites of Nova Roma may enjoy and learn through these games and be renewed in faith of the successes and accomplishments of the Respublica, both past and future; and so that you bring harmony to the Respublica in all things; and, that you may be benevolent and propitious to the Nova Romani, to our friends and allies, to me, to my household and to my family.

Incense was placed in the focus of the altar.

O Lars familiaris, with this incense on these Kalends, I pray, worship, ask and beseech you so that you may watch over and protect the safety, health and welfare of the households of the Nova Romani; and, and, that you may be benevolent and propitious to the Nova Romani, to our friends and allies, to me, to my household and to my family.

Incense was placed in the focus of the altar.

(REDDITIO)

As I have prayed good prayers, for all these reasons be thou blessed by the offering of this incense and be benevolent and propitious to the Nova Romani, to our friends and allies, to me, to my household and to my family.

Incense was placed in the focus of the altar.

It is so.

(PIACULUM)

O Mother Iuno, Father Mars, Mother Concordia, Lars familiaris, and all Gods Immortal by whatever name I may call you, if anything in this ceremony was displeasing to you, with this incense I ask forgiveness and expiate my fault.

Incense was placed in the focus of the altar.

It is done!


ÆDILICIAN DIES NATALIS RITUAL

(ABLUTIO)

Washing both hands in clean water and with toga in capite velato, I prayed:

May this water cast out all impurities from my substance as from lead to gold. May this water cleanse my body of impurities, as the rain cleanses the air. Purify my mind. Purify my body. Purify my heart. It is so.

(PRAEFATIO)

Iane pater, be you well, O Genius paterfamilias of the Respublica, on this, the Dies natalis of Nova Roma, by offering you this incense, I pray good prayers so that you may be benevolent and propitious to the Nova Romani, the Quirites, our friends and allies, to me, to my household and to my family.

Incense was placed in the focus of the altar.

(PRECATIO)

O protector, I pray and beseech thee that you may be gracious and favorable to THE Respublica of Nova Roma, to our homes and our households, for which course I have ordained that the offering of this incense should be made in accordance with my own vows; that you may avert, ward off, and keep afar all disease visible and invisible, all barrenness, waste, misfortune, and ill weather; that you may cause our affairs and business to come to prosperity; and that you grant health and strength to the Nova Romani, to me, our homes and our households.

Incense was placed in the focus of the altar.

(REDDITIO)

For all these reasons, thou be blessed by the offering of this incense and bestow favor upon the Senate and Peoples of Nova Roma in the coming year, and be benevolent and propitious to the Nova Romani, the Quirites, our friends and allies, to me, to my household and to my family.

Incense was placed in the focus of the altar.

It is so.

O Iane pater, Genius of the Respublica, and all Gods Immortal by whatever name I may call you, if anything in this ceremony was displeasing to you, with this sacrificial incense I ask forgiveness and expiate my fault.

Incense was placed in the focus of the altar.

It is done!
