Ob quam sollemnitatem innumberabiles bestiae in circo magno interfectae ludique in camp Martio theatrales tribus diebus ac noctibus populo pervigilante celebrati. e. Theatrum Pompei incensum et Hecatonstylon. f. Athlamos natali Romanae urbis cucurrit et agon mille annorum actus. g. Filippus urbem nominis sui in Thracia construxit. d. With the Phillippi ruling the 1000th year of Rome was completed. On account of which observance innumerable beasts in the great circus were killed and theatrical performances in the Campus Martius for three days and nights were celebrated for the people observing the festivities. e. The theater of Pompeius and the Hecatonstylon caught on fire. f. Athlamos ran in a race for the birthday of Rome and this contest had been performed for a thousand years. g. Filippus constructed a city of his own name in Thracia. (U. K. Vestal, trans.) |
