9am - Ludi Romani Jupiter Ritual and Feast @ Basilica
This month's festival begins with a ritual for Jupiter, honouring Him as King of the Gods and spiritual father of the Roman Pantheon. Our ritual will be followed by a very special feast in honour of a very special ROMAn - so you won't want to miss it!

11am - Ludi Romani Chariot Races @ Hippodrome
Come race round the spina in ROMA's Circus Maximus Hippodrome! Our chariot races, in honour of Jupiter, will be four 3-lap races - the winners of the first three races will compete in the final race to determine the final winners. There will be cash purses for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place 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!

1pm - Ludi Romani Gladiator Fight @ Ostia Ludus
Witness our brave gladiators fight for the honour of Jupiter and the glory of ROMA in several bouts to the "death"! The gladiator with the most bouts won will receive a cash purse and be granted a laurel wreath of victory by the Prefect himself! Come watch the bloody battles and cheer your favourite on to glory!

3pm - Ludi Romani Cart Race thru Transtiberim
For those of you for whom the idea of a chariot race is too risky, we offer this rustic alternative - a handcart race! The race will make one loop around Transtiberim, with the first cart across the finish line as the winner! The race is run in pairs - one riding the cart, the other pushing it as fast as they can toward victory! Each member of the pair will receive a prize if their cart wins. Can you make it through Transtiberim's rugged terrain as the leader of the pack?
