ROMA Ludi Romani Festival Schedule

Saturday 26th September

10am - Ludi Romani Ritual for Jupiter Optimus Maximus
A ritual to honour the King of the Gods, Jupiter Optimus Maximus, followed by a light social gathering with dancing and feasting. Come join us in celebrating the beginning of the Ludi Romani!
Location: ROMA (61, 150, 44)


12pm - Ludi Romani Chariot Races
A traditional part of the ancient Ludi Romani were chariot races - and for our Ludi Romani, we have our own! Come race against other Citizens for prizes (anyone can sign up to race), or come watch the spectacle and cheer on the racers. There will be 4 races of 5 laps each - the winners of the first three races will compete in the final race to determine the final winners. But beware! Chariot racing is a dangerous sport - these chariots can wreck and put you out of the race! Are you skilled enough to beat the odds? Come race and find out!
Location:  ROMA (249, 113, 43)


1pm - Ludi Romani Sail or Sink Trivia Game
Time for another round of our very own trivia game  - The ROMA Sail or Sink! This is a team trivia contest, where each team gets a chance to answer trivia questions and progress across the game board. (Rather like a game show!) There will be cash prizes for the winning teams. If you are interested in participating in this quiz game, get a four person team together before Sunday, and give notecard with names to Angelia. Or if you want to take part but are unable to field a team, just show up and we'll fill out teams with volunteers on the day of the event.
Location:  ROMA Transtiberim (238, 70, 30)
