This year's Ludi Romani features three special contests honoring our old friend and citizen of late, Ti. Galerius Paulinus. If you don't participate in anything this go around, try one or more of these contests, and help us honor this noble man.
+

+
==Contest I: Latin Epitaph==
+
 
+
 
+
Create a funerary monument epithaph (WITH TRANSLATION) for Ti. Galerius Paulinus to be used in a graphic for his Biography Page on the NR wiki.
+
 
+
 
+
''Example:''
+
 
+
 
+
'''L VENNIVS SABINVS CVM 
EFFICACE FIL FONTEM ET 
CONCEPTVM AQVAE SVIS TERMINIS VSQ ADKAPVT 
FORMAE PVBLICAE 
TIFERNATIBVS TIBERINIS 
D D'''
+

'''Lucius Vennius Sabinus, with 
his son Efficax, 
gave as a gift to the people of Tifernum Tiberinum fountain and the water collection system, 
from their property line up to the intake, 
for the enhancement of the community.'''
+
 
+
 
+
''Apparently Lucius was worried that he would be forgotten when he died.  So he took care to build something for the benefit of many people in hopes that he would not be forgotten.''
+
 
+
''So if there’s anything that the ancient Romans cared about it was that they be remembered. They wanted people to know who they were, and although they died they did not want people to forget their existence.''
