	Roman Holidays (Ludi) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The ludi were not holidays (feriae), as such, although they did have their origins in religion and ritual, and the days of their celebration were considered dies festi.
		These were the only public games until the Ludi Plebei (Plebeian Games) were established c.220 BC to bolster public morale during the Second Punic War with Hannibal, as were the Ludi Apollinares c.212 BC and the Ludi Megalenses in 204 BC.
		New ones also were decreed, including the Ludi Victoriae Sullae, which celebrated the victory of Sulla at the Colline Gate in 82 BC, and the Ludi Veneris Genetricis to mark the victory of Caesar at Pharsalus in 48 BC.

	Saeculum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 17 BC Caesar Augustus organised Ludi saeculares ('century-games') for the first time to celebrate the 'fifth saeculum of Rome'.
		In 248, Philip the Arab combined Ludi saeculares with the 1000th anniversary of the founding of Rome 'ab urbe condita'.
		The new millennium that Rome entered was called the 'Saeculum Novum', a term that got a metaphysical connotation in Christianity, referring to the worldy age (hence 'secular').

		LUDI HONORARII are expressly mentioned only by Suetonius (Aug. 32), who states that Augustus devoted thirty days, which had been occupied till that time by ludi honorarii, to the transaction of legal business.
		LUDI MARTIALES were celebrated every year on the first of August, in the Circus, and in honour of Mars, because the temple of Mars had been dedicated on this day.
		LUDI NAT ALITII are the games with which the birth-day of an emperor was generally cele brated.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 1999.04.07
		Ludi publici were central venues of public life, and we have perhaps been too willing to accept this general outline without exploring the possibility that the evolution of the games offers a paradigm for the evolution of the Roman state.
		The ludi Ceriales are separated from the dedication of the temple of Ceres by Postumius in 496, and the earlier Cerialia, to be placed firmly in 220 or 219.
		The ludi plebei are removed from the context of the Licinian/Sextilian reforms of 367 and returned to their traditional date of 220 or 216, as an effort at social reconciliation in the lead up to the Hannibalic war (suggestions that they were a feature of the anti-senatorial politics of Flaminius are firmly rejected on p.

	[2001: July] Re: Claudius and the ludi Saeculares
		There are two main trends in the imperial period for the celebration of the ludi: one follows the supposed original ludi first celebrated in the dark recesses of early Republican Rome and connected to the gens Valeria; the other develops in the Imperial period and coincides with the centenary anniversaries of the foundation of Rome.
		The Ludi Saeculares were originally set for the nights of May 30, 31, and June 1.
		The ludi saeculares are a really interesting phenomenon, and I hope to do more work on this topic in the future, particularly looking at why the different emperors chose variant chronologies for their celebrations.

	Carmen Saeculare by Horace
		The Carmen Saeculare is a choral hymn in the sapphic metre written by Horace in 17 B.C. at the command of the emperor Augustus, to be performed at the ludi saeculares ('secular games') by a choir of twenty-seven boys and twenty-seven girls.
		The ode is in the form of a prayer addressed to Apollo and Diana, and the achievements of Augustus are commemorated.
		The ludi saeculares, though strictly speaking of republican origin, came into prominence only in imperial times.

		The " Secular Games " arose from some gentile sacrifices of the Valerian family, which were offered to the gods beneath the earth at the Terentum (or Taren-tum), a spot in the Campus Martius where a volcanic fire smouldered.
		The first celebration of the Ludi Tcrentini of which there is actual evidence took place 249 b.c., by the direction of the Sibylline books, in honour of Dis and Proserpine.
		The games seem to have been next held, not in 149, but in 146; the one following was omitted on account of the Civil Wars, and the games were not held again until the time of Augustus, in 17 b.c.

		In the year of 17 B.C. a series of silver denarii, the main denomination of coinage at the time, was minted to commemorate the Ludi Saeculares, a famous series of games held every few years.
		On the obverse of this denarius was placed a youthful portrait with an oak wreath as a border and the inscription of CAESAR below the bust.
		The Ludi Saeculares, or Secular Games, were traditionally held every 100 years, but this tradition broke during the empire when the time between different Secular games could be anywhere from 64 – 118 years apart, or more depending on political problems, and public feeling.

	Powell's Books - Horace's Carmen Saeculare: Ritual Magic and the Poet's Art by Michael C J Putnam
		This is the first book devoted to Horace's Carmen Saeculare, a poem commissioned by Roman emperor Augustus in 17 B.C.E. for choral performance at the Ludi Saeculares, the Secular Games.
		The poem is the first fully preserved Latin hymn whose circumstances of presentation are known, and it is the only lyric of Horace we can be certain was first presented orally.
		A rich and compelling work, this poem is a masterpiece, Putnam shows, and it represents a crucial link in the development of Rome's outstanding lyric poet.

	de RES HISTORIAE ANTIQUA
		Horace, author of the Carmen Saeculare, was very well known and, although his importance was thought to be waning at that time, his patron Maecenas was not without influence himself.
		Conversely, it would be a mistake to assume that it was intended as a compliment to Lollius, however jocularly written.
		Referring to himself in a prophesying manner, he asks Apollo, as a teacher and in his role as Agyieus, the protector of the streets, to guarantee this, acknowledging that it is only by his bounty that he has achieved so much.

		After the death of Vergil, Horace was the most important poet and accordingly he was asked by the emperor to compose a hymn to honor the games and which would be sung during the festival.
		The Saecular Games are held by the state to honor the completion of a saeculum and initiate a new saeculum which was fixed at either a 100 years or 110 (under Augustus).
		The first Saecular Games may have been celebrated as early as 348 bc.

		Professor Stroh went to considerable effort to record Aeneid Book IV specifically for this occasion--rather as the poet Horace did for an earlier celebration of the Ludi Saeculares--and we are all very grateful to him.
		Professor Stroh's splendid performance is his and our special contribution to new on-line resources for the study of ancient epic.
