It is said that an old French aristocrat ran into coutiers ennobled by one or other of the Napoleons. Looking them over, he sneered "My ancestors go back the ancient Franks. What about your ancestors". With equal arrogance, one of the Novi Homines looked him up and down and replied "*We* are the ancestors".

If this can be of any help, what I know (having heard it here in
Italy) that the Region of Basilicata could have taken its name
from "Basileus".
As "Basilici" was the name of the books of law in Byzantium in IX
century, probably the toponym "Basilicata" meant land of Basileus,
that is to say "land of the king of Byzantium".
This was introduced to distinguish that part of the region from the
other part still called with the Latin name "Lucania".

I was hoping that wasn't the case. I know "basilieus" means "king" in attic
greek, and is the root of the word basilica which originally meant a royal
rectangular building that was round at one end, where the king sat.

There is a leaf called Khat chewed in the Sudan and Somalia introduced to
Britain too recently to be covered by the drug laws. Besides, nobody is
entirely sure whether to class it as a drug or not. It is a weaker relative
to cocaine and probably accounts for the cocaine-like traces found in an
Egyptian mummy's hair a couple of years ago. Users say that it mellows them
down but improves their thinking {well of course so do a couple of stiff
gins :)}. Might have been that though. It's a fair certainty that anything
with druggy overtones, the Ptolemies and half of the Caesars were using and
when they weren't, most of the Mystery cults. Though Cannabis is a Greek
word, meaning that they knew it and under that name so wouldn't be callong
it something else.

My congratulations to the winner of the Praecina Races Tiberious Anneus
Otho and his winning chariot. I toast him in the Best Falurnian, and
present him in VR with a great jar of the same to be used in his victory
banquet.

I have finished my Praesina Flag (a square of green silk) which I shall
be pleased to fly in front of my tent when in the field, and from a
staff in the courtyard of my VR townhouse in Pompeii. I have also
ordered a staff erected in the garden of my VR villa nearby to the great
city of Rome. The flag of green silk will announce my presence in
whatever abode that I am pleased to reside of the moment, and give
notice of the offering of a cool drink and rest in the shade of the
Attrium for any Praecina Citizen wearing a green scarf.

The first raising of said flag at my VR villa is dedicated to the
Praecina Champion Tiberius Anneus Otho, and offerings of wine and cakes
to the Gods for his continuing success, by the Militarium Sacerdotes /
Senator Graecus.

In closing, I once again honor the Praecina Champion Tiberius Anneus
Otho and his keen talent with a chariot and four!!!!!

Respectfully;

Salvete,

I am interested in trying to organize regular public rituals and
religious meetings/discussions for followers of the Religio (or those
interested in learning more about it) here in Nova Britannia. In
addition I would also like to try and send a "Religio" contingent to any
large local pagan events, such as Pagan Pride Day, to possibly hold
workshops on the Religio & classical religion, and generally spread
awareness about our faith. Is this something anyone would be interested
in? Thanks!

Valete,

May I suggest the young adult book published by Scholastic called
Detectives in Togas? I'm reading it now and found it in a mystery
bookstore of used books. It breaks down to the basics of writing for
young adults mystery novels set in ancient Rome. Excellent book.
By the way my novel, Roman Justice, will be available in two months
or so. I'm interested in all classical civilizations from the known
world BCE.If anyone wants to be my penpal and also is interested in
discussing creative writing or creating art about ancient
civilizations, feel free to write.

If that is so, it might have been part of the former Exarchate of Ravenna that did not become Papal Lands when the Franks kicked the Lombards out of it, or maybe it was territory that the Empire tried to reclaim later.

Avete Omnes,

Its almost hard to believe that Nova Roma has made it through 5 years. But, as of a few hours it will be true. It has been an amazing journey and I think it would be very interesting if our Censors could post the names of the individuals who have been in Nova Roma since the beginning.

I am very glad that I have been a witness from day one and am very interested to see the shape of Nova Roma in her 10 year anniversary.

May all of our Gods continue to bless Nova Roma

Vale,

Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix
