Decennals


The decennial or decennial festivals were solemn celebrations that instituted Augustus in Rome in celebration of having celebrated ten years of Empire.

In them, past happiness was celebrated, and vows were made for the future in another decade. The origin was, that Julius Caesar was granted the supreme power for ten years, although this did not fulfill them. Augustus, when he arrived at them, made by ceremony a sort of momentary resignation; for immediately, as a begging of the people, he returned to the scepter for another ten years, in order to preserve some shadow of liberty in the Seo and Roman people, imitating the other emperors who arrived or passed the age of ten. >

Dion Casio makes it clear by saying: Every ten years as a feast because of its renovationemagunt..quod bodic etiamfi.

The formality of the votes that were made in this function consists of an epistle from Pliny the Younger to Trajan, in which he says: Wishes, Lord, call started earlier years te'tiqae persolv'müs present new again care commititonum & amp; Provincial piety suscepimuf, prescati gods, so you tended to pubíicam flowering ^ & amp; goodwill to keep them safe and injury.

The decennial period of Galieno was celebrated, as Trebelio Folion says: Decennalia celebrated a new kind of games, this new form of parades and refined kind volaptatum.
