Today we competed to create the best table setting, performance, and use of Latin in a Roman themed feast called Convivium. Each province created a spread based off of their provincial identity, with results ranging from a play, song, reenactment, and even dance. The best performance went to Germania, who utilized changing time periods to illustrate the Battle of Teutoburg forest. The best centerpiece went to Gallia, with a magnificent recreation of a tree. Everybody went dressed in their finest togas to have a good time laughing and dining with their friends. After the competition was over, everyone celebrated with ice cream, Oreos, and sweet treats. After all, we are tired but ready for a great day of Greek classes tomorrow!
