(This is a public thread because it is a public occasion, a matter of public record, performed in the Forum itself.)
Jax has you arrayed in your finest toga, and he smiles broadly at you. "Dominus, today you get recognized finally for your worth!"
He is bursting with the proprietary pride of a bodyslave in his dominus.
"Senator Kabal is waiting outside, Dominus, to escort you to the Forum."

I try to smile and partially succeed. "Very well, let us get this ov . . . let us proceed."

Your cousin is there, to walk with you. He chats interminably, and along the way you pick up your other cousin, Tiberius Edor Kabal.
"You lucky dog!" he cries, clapping you on the shoulder. "That you should seize upon that day to make a name for yourself--some people have Nenetl's own luck!"
He sweeps on, and the three of you arrive at the Forum.
There you see gathered several senators, and one of the consuls, the Enad Consul.
He stands on a dais, and you are escorted forward.
"Servius Edor Danal!" he cries. "The Republic recognizes the civic virtues of her sons, and you, among them, are a shining light!"
He holds out his hand, and Senatorial slave puts into it a broad, gold ring.
"Hold out your hand, Servius Edor Danal, and become Sir Danal!"

[is it customary to speak or just put out my hand?]

(Put out your hand, state your name, and give a small line or so.)

I put out my hand and say "Servius Edor Danal. I am honored to be a loyal son of the Republic and will embody her virtues always."

"And in recognition of the actions you have already taken in defense of the Republic, you are now Sir Danal!"
He slides onto the forefinger of the hand you extended a large, flat golden ring. It is the equestrian seal.
"This is Sir Danal, knight of the Republic!"
He turns you to face the gathered crowd, and the crowd parts as a white mare is led forward. "This is your steed, Sir Danal! Ride it, and go forth as a knight of the Republic should!"
Jax gets on his hands and knees beside the horse so that you may mount.

I mount the horse and ride at a slow pace.

Cheers follow you, and Jax helps you to get the horse back to your house.
"Sir Danal!" echoes in your ears as you ride home.
