 * According to this article: Censor (ancient Rome) and this Stanford University page the term Opera Publica has to do with the construction of buildings. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 20:55, 4 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Opus: Latin for "work".  Opera:  Latin plural of same, meaning "works". Publica = "public".  Ergo, "Opera publica" means "Public Works".  Nothing to do with musical performances.  --GuillaumeTell 00:09, 5 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but this is just a complete joke. The Romans did not have operas; the nearest they came, to the best of my knowledge, was the pantomimus genre. Opera Publica means public works - building, not music! Moreschi 11:06, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
