  Ludi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Ludi normally lasted over a number of days (as did certain feriae like the Saturnalia), with certain days devoted to various games, like chariot races, gladiatorial contests and animal hunts in the amphitheater, dramatic performances, military parades, and street entertainments.
In general, the ludi were more popular than feriae because of the great variety of state-funded entertainments that were available for all.
This trio of divinities is called the "Capitoline Triad" because statues of all three divinities were housed in the temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus on the Capitoline hill.

  Ludi Romani - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Accordingly, Sept. 19 in the time the Verrines were composed must have been the last day of the Ludi Romani (C.I.L. I.401); and so it appears in the Calendars of the Augustan time, the days of the games being Sept. 4 to 19.
The actual ludi Romani consisted of first a solemn procession, pompa, then a chariot race, in which each chariot in Homeric fashion carried a driver and a warrior, the latter at the end of the race leaping out and running on foot (Dionys.
During the festival, too, the successful warrior in real warfare wore the spoils he had won from the enemy, and was crowned with a chaplet.

The ludi had their analogues in the great festivals of the Greek city-states, where lavish festivals were staged for both a religious and political purpose.
Originally the Ludi were organized by the various colleges of priests, but as the games became more state oriented, their organization passed to the consuls and then to Aediles, and finally, under Augustus, to the praetors.
The Ludi were public holidays and no work would be done, remarkably, considering that in the imperial era over 135 days might be spent either in the theater or in the circus.

 Ludi - Theory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Ludi is a method for the de novo design of ligands for proteins (e.g., enzyme inhibitors).
To generate the interaction sites, Ludi uses a set of rules that are intended to cover the complete range of energetically favorable orientations for hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic contacts.
Ludi is capable of fitting fragments onto the interaction sites and simultaneously aligning (i.e., linking) them to an existing ligand.

The ludi scaenici, the theatrical performances, were hopelessly overwhelmed by the ludi circenses, the circus games.
Ludi circenses, the circus games, took place in the marvellous circuses, and amphitheatres and were breathtakingly spectacular, though also gruesome events.

 John Ludi - Hell's Laughter and Heaven's Ache Review
Ludi has lost all his faith in the music world and all involved.
It's too bad because if this was to be taken into a proper studio, as opposed to being recorded at home, and tweaked properly, Ludi's vocals and great songwriting would be exposed and supported properly.
It's amazing that with as much negative energy as John Ludi puts into writing about the music industry how postitive the final result, disregarding some of the lyrics, is very refreshing and a fine example of what the rest of the music industry is missing out on.
