Megalesia
The Megalesia, Megalensia, or Megalenses Ludi, was a festival (with games, ''ludi'') celebrated in Ancient Rome in the month of April in honor of the great mother of the gods (Cybele, μϵγάλη ϑϵός, from which the festival derived its name).
==Origins==
The statue of Cybele was brought to Rome from Pessinus (204 BC), and the day of its arrival was solemnized with a magnificent procession, ''lectisternia'', and games, and lots of people carried presents to the goddess on the Capitol.〔Varro, ''On the Latin Language in 25 Books,'' vi. 15〕〔Livy, xxix.14.〕
The habitual celebration of the Megalesia, however, did not begin until twelve years later (191 BC), when the temple which had been vowed and ordered to be built in 203 BC, was completed and dedicated by Marcus Junius Brutus〔Tribune of the plebs (195 BC), praetor (191 BC), and perhaps the consul of 178 BC.〕〔Livy, xxxvi.36.〕 Although from another passage〔Livy, xxxiv.54〕 it seems that the Megalesia had already been celebrated in 193 BC.
