3. Closing of the Ludi

L IUL SULLA QUIRITIBUS S.D. Avete Quirites! The sun is going down in this very special day, when Megalesia are going to finish. Here the last rays of light are all for the statue of our Goddess Magna Mater that stands in front of the temple that was dedicated in 191 b.c.e.. I hope that she appreciated all our devotion and care for her glory during these 7 days of racings, contests, bravery, prays and banquets. I hope that all the roman citizens have enjoyed our activities. Now, as the last sunshine is going to leave us, when from the Capitolium is moving the last parade of our divinities, that our last festival begins! One more time, my wine cellars will open for Populus Romanus; nunc est bibendus, nunc pede libero! Now it's the time for wine Albanus 10 yrs. and Falernus 15 yrs. aged! Glory for Magna Mater, I say, and gratitude for my Cohors. Gratitude mostly for Iulius Sabinus, Cornelius Lentulus, Pompeia Minucia Tiberia, Hortensia Maior and Salix Cantaber. Without you, guys, these Ludi couldn't exist. Now, Cives, if you enjoyed our Ludi, please remember that our project of spreading and restoration of the Temple of Magna Mater in Rome lives thanks to your donations. If you want to donate, please contact me or my Questor Rutilius Minervalis. OPTIME VALETE! L IUL SULLA Aedilis Curulis Italia
