THIS EXPO HAS CONCLUDED
JOIN HIGHLIGHTED COVER ART, POETRY & LITERATURE ON ZO MAGAZINE’S DAILY CHANGING PAGES
The word Decennalia is Latin for “10th Anniversary” and refers to festivals of games in Ancient Rome, which occurred every ten years. ZO was particularly intrigued by the festivals’ origin, which dates back to 27 BC when the Roman Emperor Augustus “refused the supreme power offered to him for life and would only consent to accept power for ten years,” as noted by Wikipedia. During the festival, Augustus would “surrender all of his authority to the hands of the people, who were filled with joy and charmed by the gesture.”
In a world where power is so often idolized and misused, it is rare and inspiring to find those who refuse its seduction. Those who are willing to use their influence to empower others. Augustus is known for restoring peace and prosperity to Rome.

Our “Decennalia” (Latin for 10th Anniversary) concept for this Expo literary is a twist on the ancient Roman festivals celebrated with games every ten years by the Roman emperors. The festival owed its origin to the fact that in 27 BC, Augustus refused the supreme power offered to him for life but would consent to accepting power only for ten years. (Wikepedia)
