== History ==
{{Short description|Ancient Roman religious festival}}
The Plebeian Games may have been celebrated among the common people without an official place on the [[Roman calendar|religious calendar]] until [[nobiles|plebeians rose to positions of highest prominence]]; [[Cicero]], at least, thought they were Rome's oldest ''ludi''.<ref>[[Cicero]], ''[[In Verrem]]'' II.5.36</ref> They are known to have been held each year from 220 onward,<ref>[[Jörg Rüpke]], "Communicating with the Gods," in ''A Companion to the Roman Republic'' (Blackwell, 2010), p. 225.</ref> but may have been much older.<ref>Davis, "Games," p. 266.</ref> It may be most accurate to say the ''Ludi Plebeii'' were first established as a public festival in 220 BC.<ref>[[William Warde Fowler]], ''The Roman Festivals of the Period of the Republic'' (London, 1908), p. 252.</ref> Because the proceedings of the Plebeian Games strikingly resemble those of the [[Ludi Romani|''Ludi Romani'' ("Roman Games")]], [[T.P. Wiseman]] has suggested that they were created by the ''plebs'' as an assertion of their own identity, perhaps as early as the 5th or 4th century BC.<ref>[[T.P. Wiseman]], ''Remus: A Roman Myth'' (Cambridge University Press, 1995), p. 134.</ref>

==Purpose==
The '''Plebeian Games''' (Latin '''''Ludi Plebeii''''') were an [[ancient Rome|ancient Roman]] [[Roman festival|religious festival]] held November 4–17.<ref>Dates according to ''[[Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum|CIL]]'' i<sup>2</sup> 335.</ref> The games ''([[ludi]])'' included both theatrical performances ''([[ludi scaenici]])'' and athletic competitions for the purpose of entertaining the common people of Rome.
The ''Ludi Plebeii'' were presented by the [[plebeian aedile]]s and celebrated plebeian political liberty, but tradition varied as to freedom from what: either the [[kings of Rome|tyranny of the Tarquins]] in the [[Roman kingdom|Regal period]], or the dominance of the [[Patrician (ancient Rome)|patricians]], the hereditary ruling class of early [[Roman Republic|Republican Rome]] (see "[[Conflict of the Orders]]").<ref>[[T.P. Wiseman]], "The Games of Hercules," in ''Religion in Archaic Republican Rome and Italy: Evidence and Experience'' (Edinburgh University Press, 2000), p. 112. A [[scholiast]] to [[Cicero]] offers both causes.</ref>

==Timing and location==
{{Short description|Ancient Roman religious festival}}
According to one ancient source, the games were held in the [[Circus Flaminius]], which was associated with the common people of Rome ''([[plebs]])''.<ref>P.J. Davis, "Games," in ''Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Greece and Rome'' (Oxford University Press, 2010), p. 266.</ref> Nearly all other games were held in the [[Circus Maximus]]. The Circus Flaminius was built by the [[plebs|plebeian]] [[Roman censor|censor]] [[Gaius Flaminius (consul 223 BC)|Gaius Flaminius]] in 220 BC, and the annual games may have been instituted by him that year.<ref>Davis, "Games," p. 266.</ref> During the festival, a [[Epulum Jovis|feast of Jupiter ''(Epulum Iovis)'']] was held November 13, a cavalry parade November 14, and circus games ''([[ludi circenses]]'', mainly [[chariot races]]) November 15–17. The siting of the games at the Circus Flaminius may thus be an error,<ref>[[Valerius Maximus]] 1.7.4.</ref> since the Circus Flaminius had no track for chariot racing.<ref>Wiseman, ''Remus'', p. 211.</ref> A [[Pompa circensis|procession]] similar to that of the ''Ludi Romani'' is likely also to have been part of the festivities.

Wiseman]] has suggested that they were created by the ''plebs'' as an assertion of their own identity, perhaps as early as the 5th or 4th century BC.<ref>[[T.P. Wiseman]], ''Remus: A Roman Myth'' (Cambridge University Press, 1995), p. 134.</ref> ==Purpose== The ''Ludi Plebeii'' were presented by the [[plebeian aedile]]s and celebrated plebeian political liberty, but tradition varied as to freedom from what: either the [[kings of Rome|tyranny of the Tarquins]] in the [[Roman kingdom|Regal period]], or the dominance of the [[Patrician (ancient Rome)|patricians]], the hereditary ruling class of early [[Roman Republic|Republican Rome]] (see "[[Conflict of the Orders]]").<ref>[[T.P. Wiseman]], "The Games of Hercules," in ''Religion in Archaic Republican Rome and Italy: Evidence and Experience'' (Edinburgh University Press, 2000), p. 112. A [[scholiast]] to [[Cicero]] offers both causes.</ref> ==Timing and location== According to one ancient source, the games were held in the [[Circus Flaminius]], which was associated with the common people of Rome ''([[plebs]])''.<ref>P.J. Davis, "Games," in ''Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Greece and Rome'' (Oxford University Press, 2010), p. 266.</ref> Nearly all other games were held in the [[Circus Maximus]]. The Circus Flaminius was built by the [[plebs|plebeian]] [[Roman censor|censor]] [[Gaius Flaminius (consul 223 BC)|Gaius Flaminius]] in 220 BC, and the annual games may have been instituted by him that year.<ref>Davis, "Games," p. 266.</ref> During the festival, a [[Epulum Jovis|feast of Jupiter ''(Epulum Iovis)'']] was held November 13, a cavalry parade November 14, and circus games ''([[ludi circenses]]'', mainly [[chariot races]]) November 15–17. The siting of the games at the Circus Flaminius may thus be an error,<ref>[[Valerius Maximus]] 1.7.4.</ref> since the Circus Flaminius had no track for chariot racing.<ref>Wiseman, ''Remus'', p. 211.</ref> A [[Pompa circensis|procession]] similar to that of the ''Ludi Romani'' is likely also to have been part of the festivities. ==Miscellanea== [[Plautus]] first presented his comedy ''[[Stichus]]'' at the Plebeian Games of 200 BC.<ref>Davis, "Games," p. 266.</ref> [[Livy]] notes that the ''ludi'' had to be repeated three times in 216 BC, owing to a ''[[Glossary of ancient Roman religion#vitium|vitium]]'' (ritual fault) that disrupted the correct performance of events.<ref>Davis, "Games," p. 266.</ref> ==See also== * [[Conflict of the Orders]] ==References== {{Reflist|30em}} {{Roman religion (festival)}} [[Category:Ancient Roman games festivals]] [[Category:November observances]] [[Category:3rd-century BC establishments]]'

Wiseman]] has suggested that they were created by the ''plebs'' as an assertion of their own identity, perhaps as early as the 5th or 4th century BC.<ref>[[T.P. Wiseman]], ''Remus: A Roman Myth'' (Cambridge University Press, 1995), p. 134.</ref> - -==Purpose== -The ''Ludi Plebeii'' were presented by the [[plebeian aedile]]s and celebrated plebeian political liberty, but tradition varied as to freedom from what: either the [[kings of Rome|tyranny of the Tarquins]] in the [[Roman kingdom|Regal period]], or the dominance of the [[Patrician (ancient Rome)|patricians]], the hereditary ruling class of early [[Roman Republic|Republican Rome]] (see "[[Conflict of the Orders]]").<ref>[[T.P. Wiseman]], "The Games of Hercules," in ''Religion in Archaic Republican Rome and Italy: Evidence and Experience'' (Edinburgh University Press, 2000), p. 112. A [[scholiast]] to [[Cicero]] offers both causes.</ref> - -==Timing and location== -According to one ancient source, the games were held in the [[Circus Flaminius]], which was associated with the common people of Rome ''([[plebs]])''.<ref>P.J. Davis, "Games," in ''Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Greece and Rome'' (Oxford University Press, 2010), p. 266.</ref> Nearly all other games were held in the [[Circus Maximus]]. The Circus Flaminius was built by the [[plebs|plebeian]] [[Roman censor|censor]] [[Gaius Flaminius (consul 223 BC)|Gaius Flaminius]] in 220 BC, and the annual games may have been instituted by him that year.<ref>Davis, "Games," p. 266.</ref> During the festival, a [[Epulum Jovis|feast of Jupiter ''(Epulum Iovis)'']] was held November 13, a cavalry parade November 14, and circus games ''([[ludi circenses]]'', mainly [[chariot races]]) November 15–17. The siting of the games at the Circus Flaminius may thus be an error,<ref>[[Valerius Maximus]] 1.7.4.</ref> since the Circus Flaminius had no track for chariot racing.<ref>Wiseman, ''Remus'', p. 211.</ref> A [[Pompa circensis|procession]] similar to that of the ''Ludi Romani'' is likely also to have been part of the festivities. - -==Miscellanea== -[[Plautus]] first presented his comedy ''[[Stichus]]'' at the Plebeian Games of 200 BC.<ref>Davis, "Games," p. 266.</ref> - -[[Livy]] notes that the ''ludi'' had to be repeated three times in 216 BC, owing to a ''[[Glossary of ancient
