To celebrate the upgrade of Salamantica, and the hard work of the provincial legions not only in building the necessary structures but also in keeping peace in the province, Caesar organizes a festival.

First there is a magnificent procession in honour of Minerva whose new temple is now dedicated; a sacrifice is performed by Caesar himself as priest of the goddess.

It is followed by a series of performances starring the provincial favourites: musical shows where singers and dancers from Baetica dance themselves and the audience into a trance to the sound of castanets, bullfights in which leapdancers goad the huge beasts to amazing choreographies, theatrical performances of Greek, Roman and native plays, races not in proper tracks but across muddy fields, the drivers narrowly avoiding rocks, bushes and other such obstacles.

At the end there is a banquet in which hundreds of pigs are roasted on huge skewers, grilled fish and and fresh vegetables are eaten and many gallons of wine are drunk.

Slaves and free workers spend the next couple of days cleaning and washing the new forum and adjoining streets and piling the garbage on carts to be dumped and burned in an appropriate landfill outside the city.

Caesar gives money prizes to the provincial army and fleet, one month's pay to each man and officer.

Total expenses: 10,000D.
