Mauro Baglieri
: i think "giochi circensi" ( it ) is generic. Circensian (en) applies to Ancient Rome. But if this is a Renaissance re-enactment of the old games (ask Maria ! ), as i think, then you're right on the money ; -)

Thanks, so what's the meaning in a post-Roman context? And how do we know that the context of the asker's question is not Ancient Rome?

circus games
circensian si può dire solo con riferimento all'antica Roma; qui penso che siamo in un altro contesto storico, strano però che inqueste domande né chi chiede né chi risponde sembra comprendere l'italiano...
In che contesto ci troviamo? Forse nel Rinascimento?

: How do you say "Circensian games" in Italian? There is no indication in the asker's question that this is not the Roman period.
