5th-19th Ludi Romani
At first, this long ceremony of games, chariot races and theatrical shows was in honour of the Roman God Jupiter, but later, it was not so much of a religious ceremony.
On 13th September, the sacrifice of a cow was given at the temple of Jupiter, and the Senate and all the magistrates had a banquet there.
Statues of the Roman Gods Jupiter, Juno and Minerva were dressed and placed on the couches with the humans, so they could share the banquet.
