Ex private Hertfordshire, UK, collection, and David Miller, Hemel Hempstead, London, UK, 1990 (collector's tickets included).
Ludi Saeculares were secular games, and they were celebrated only once in a century, because it was scarcely given to a man to see them more than once in his life (in particular, the Romans reckoned a saeculum as the longest possible length of human life, either 100 or 110 years in length).
