Salvete omnes,

Since this is a volunteer organization and there is no financial
costs, waste and accountability to the tax payers, I do not see any
problem with a large staff. The more people that volunteer their
services to a particular magistrate, the merrier in my opinion
because they will be more involved and have a future keener interest
in running the government and bureacracy of NR. When many offer their
talents time and services for free, why not grab that opportunity?
When we start paying our consuls 400 k per year, the magistrates 100k
plus per year to match macronations then we can start whitling down
don't you think?

Subject: A Response to Q. Lanius Paulinus
F. Galerius Aurelianus Secundus Fal to Q. Lanius Paulinus Rom. Salve.

The principal objections concerning large magisterial staffs are/were:

1. The possibility that confidential information could be compromised when a magistrate has a large staff;

2. The possibility that a magistrate would use a large staff to act as de facto clients, thugs, and political workers to stuff the cista on certain issues and intimidate citizens by a mass "jumping on them" on the main list;

3. The abuse of century points and position [Note: I still do not understand how you can abuse either but I may be missing a constitutional issue];

4. Large staffs will draw many active citizens into working for one magistrate's position and other worthwhile projects could be neglected;

5. It could be viewed as a clique or political party working at cross purposes to the overall goals of Nova Roma;

6. The staff members would abuse authority in the name of their magistrate or would shield the magistrate from having direct contact with the public;

There were two or three other points that have been raised in the past 18 months but they were so ridiculous that I cannot even bring them to mind.

Some of those citizens who raised these objections have previously served as magistrates and functioned with only one or two staff members. However, they were also magistrates when Nova Roma was a much smaller organization with fewer laws, projects, and plans. The more flesh we put on the bones of the state, the more work there will be to do especially for real events such as festivals, games, Roman Days, video/film work, and the building of new groups in the provinces. Such is the nature of organizations with passionate members.

Whenever an organization has more than a dozen members, there will always be at least one or more persons that are absolutely sure that there is some kind of conspiracy in the works (usually directed at themselves). Also, elections can be nasty; especially on-line when a person doesn't have to worry that their insults, insinuations, and slanders will not result in a punch in the nose. Of course, there are also the defeated candidates or their supporters that may become upset and make accusations of improprieties. For the most part, situations like these are normal and usually do not affect the overall enjoyment of the organization.

With Nova Roma's new laws for opening up physical groups in the real world, there will be equal opportunities for better communication and more garbage. Of course, the excrement-stirrers will have to be a little more tactful and diplomatic (or sneaky) because they risk social ostracism or that aforementioned punch in the nose, if they do not mend their ways.

This is just a personal opinion about some of the issues concerned with magisterial staffs and the future of the Republic. May the Gods grant Nova Roma and Her citizens all that is fortunate, appropriate, and auspicious. Vale.

Q - All your points are valid but I feel the success or failure of
large staffs depends on the strength of the leader; as I have heard
the military say, there is no such thing as good and bad soldiers;
only good and bad leaders. I would think the issues you mention all
depend on the strength and integrity of the magistrate and his or her
ability to attract the right people.

Imparo means "I learn".
ANCORA in italian has two meanings and it depends from the accent:
àncora = anchor
ancòra = still

However ANCHOR I LEARN means nothing in italian. I'M STILL LEARNING

Someone suggested Harrison Ford for the older Gordianus, but I see

I dispair of ever getting a match for Gordianus like Jeremy Brett was

An excellent poem, Marine. I have enjoyed it very much :-).

For the benefit of those of our citizens who know even less about
baseball than I do, "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" is a traditional
American song that is related with it (with baseball, that is).
Everyone in America knows the lyrics of that song.

Actually, dear Quinte Lani, "áncora" is not much used in Spanish
outside poetry. The common word for "anchor" is "ancla". Both come
from Latin, but "ancora" is pure Latin, while "ancla" is the word
that evolved from Latin "ancora" through the Middle Ages. Why should
someone use a Latin word instead of the common word of Latin origin?
Ask Spanish 17th century poets; for some reason, they loved it :-).

"Impero" (another word taken directly for Latin) is technically the
Latin-Spanish-Italian-Portuguese verb that means "to exert one's
Imperium". "I command, I dominate" would perhaps be a better
translation for the Spanish "impero".

The fasces were dowel-like rods of elm (Plautus, Asin. iii.2.29 and
ii.3.74). Estimating their size is difficult becauses the proportions
are not constant over numismatic and relief imagery; in general they are
portrayed as being roughly the diameter of a large man's thumb and the
length of the distance between a man's shoulder and mid-shin. Outside
the pomerium they were bound into a bundle with an axe (the securis);
inside the pomerium the securis was removed, except for the bundled
fasces of the dictator and the magister equitum in the republican period
(the fasces of the emperor retained the securis within the pomerium).
The binding was done with red ribbons; however, the number of variations
of binding style is so varied in graphical representations that a
definitive style cannot be determined. Don't trust the discussion in
Smith's _A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities_ since there are
several errors of fact and miscitations. I hope this is helpful.

Vale.

Sorry for the intrusion, but we should talk of Empire with Tiberius
(14-37 CE), even if it is only an historical classification: Reign,
Republic and Empire.
Maybe some Romans did still believe to have a Republic, but just
after the first decades of Augustus we cannot talk of Republic.
Nor we can talk of "reign": Romans did hate any kind of King, and
never would have beared one!

OK, Sculptures indicate Principate Togas were larger and covered more area
then a Republican one. However this change was gradual, so you might be able to
get away with Republican one. Most prop and costume houses professional and
University use Republican ones because of Shakespeare's "Iulis Caesar." I
suggest you rent one, and make your copies from that.

I'll be glad to send you dimensions if you aren't near a College, but it
easier to copy a piece than make it from scratch.

I've been including a Nova Roma coin in my occassional eBay auctions as a free
bonus, however I would like to see if the coin itself could capture any
attention. I initially purchased 60 of the coins and I'm now down to just below
40. I'd prefer if Nova-Roma citizens don't bid on it (hence, not including a
link to the auction) because I'm hoping that it will get the attention of
people not currently aware of Nova Roma. However, since the Nova-Roma coins are
currently sold out, if you do not have any I won't object if you bid on it.
Please do not bid on it if you have any of the coins. The auction page will
essentially be a copy & paste of the coin page on novaroma.org.
Vale,
Iulius Titinius Antonius

No I don't , as I was just there one day last week one article was last updated January 9 2004 so it must have been there as recently as that but where it has gone is anybody's guest. Jonas Lendering was very good to the Eagle last year and we had permission to use anything on his site. We are forever grateful for his

Salve,

I will be helping out in a play within the next few months that
involves Romans naturally and I need some historical help.
Magistrates will have a part in it therefore we wished to employ
the fasces as well as the toga. From the pictures of the citizens I
have seen most of the men have their togas and the internet has so
many descriptions of what it should look like how it should fold and
the length and pattern; can a Nova Roman help in this area? Also
does anyone happen to know th dimensions of the fasces; I know what
they looked like as well as their purpose but not how big. Any help
or websites you can post for me would be great. Gratias
Valete, Brandon

Group: Nova-Roma Message: 19781 From: Gnaeus Salix Astur Date: 2004-01-18
Subject: Latin Translation of the Oath of Office
Cn. Salix Astur Quiritibus S.P.D.

For several years, our magistrates have sworn an oath upon their
appointment. This oath is officially defined by the Lex Iunia de
Iusiurando:
http://www.novaroma.org/tabularium/leges/1999-10-19-ii.html

Some of our magistrates, in an effort to be closer to our forefathers,
have sworn a Latin translation of that oath at the same time as the
official English oath. Several such translations have circulated.

After some comments on this forum about the correctness of one of such
translations, I asked Flavia Tullia, our resident latinist, to provide
a translation of the official oath of office that could be presented to
the public as a possible addendum to that official oath of office.

She, with the help of other citizens like Praetor Cn. Octavius Noricus,
Aedilis Plebeia Emilia Curia Finnica and Aulus Aenobarbus, has managed
to fulfill this petition in a timely and proper manner. Pontifex C.
Iulius Scaurus acceded to revise the text and gave his "imprimatur". So
here it is:

Ego, ____________________hac re ipsa decus Novae Romae me
defensurum/am, et semper pro populo senatuque Novae Romae acturum/am
esse sollemniter IVRO.

Ego,____________________officio ___________________[consulis, etc.]
Novae Romae accepto, deos deasque Romae in omnibus meae vitae publicae
temporibus me culturum/am, et virtutes Romanas publica privataque vita
me persecuturum/am esse IVRO.

Ego____________________Religioni Romanae me fauturum/am et eam
defensurum/am, et numquam contra eius statum publicum me acturum/am
esse, ne quid detrimenti capiat IVRO.

Ego, ___________________officiis muneris______________________me quam
optime functurum/am esse praeterea IVRO.

Meo civis Novae Romae honore, coram deis deabusque populi Romani, et
voluntate favoreque eorum, ego munus ___________________una cum
iuribus, privilegiis, muneribus et officiis comitantibus ACCIPIO.

What do you think, citizens? Should this Latin translation be added to
our official oath, so that the oath is made both in Latin and English?
I find it very appropriate, but I would like to know your opinion.

Flavia Tullia's explanation of the corrections needed by the previous
translation follows:

Subject: Re: New Spartacus Miniseries
Salvete!

In response to Gaia Fabia Livia's remarks, I think it would be wonderful to come up with a Roman movie! There are so many topics in Roman history that have either never been portrayed or have been somewhat misrepresented. Now is the time to set these stories straight!

For example, I think it would be quite interesting to make a movie about Tiberius' life and rule. He is a very complex character, rich in psychological paradoxes, and he remains an enigma even to modern historians. I believe that during his reign, he was sort of entangled in a spider's web of intrigues from which he and his reputation could never escape. Also, if you are into romance, there is a tragic love story in his life.

Another era in Roman History not often the subject of movies are the 4th and 5th centuries AD just before the fall of Rome in 476 AD. There are a number of interesting characters and interesting events-Theodosius and his two weak sons Arcadius and Honorius, Flavius Stilicho, Theodosius II and John Chrystostom. Not to mention the sack of Alaric, Attila the Hun and the Gothic Wars!!

I hope these potential movies will one day hit the screen! Vale, Vipsania

F. Galerius Aurelianus Secundus Fal to Brandon. Salve.

Hello, my young cousin. I haven't heard from you in a while. There are pictures and instructions for making the fasces on the website of the XXIV Legion. I recommend using less dowels for a stage production and using a Revolutionary or French&Indian War hatchet or tomahawk for the axe. The full-sized fasces were pretty heavy at times. If you can find somebody with a copy of the Osprey Publication THE PRAETORIANS, there is a good color plate showing the Lictor Proxima of the Emperor Traian.

In regards to making togas for stage productions, get the heaviest weight 60" wide muslin that you can afford. You will need about 6 yards for a 6' tall man. Trim the fabric into a semi-circle with about six inches at either end and full depth at the bottom of the arc. Sew a 6-8" inch wide purple stripe to the straight edge for a senator, consul, censor, or pontiff; 3-4" wide for an equites. The Emperor's toga should be dyed purple with gold metallic trim along the straight edge.

When we did a play using this material, we had to pin the toga at the left shoulder because the muslin was slick and slipped around a bit. This is not period but, hey, this is theatre we are talking about. Also, it is a good idea to keep your left arm bend and hold the toga to the chest for stability. Senators and some magistrates also wore red ankle boots/ sandals with crescents on the top of the shoe.

I hope this helps. Vale.

Salvete Omnes.

This has nothing to do with Roma, but I'm sure that many of you are
intrested in other areas of history, and this concerns one of them, the
Second World War.

The Entire Collection of Aerial Reconnaissance Photographs made by the
RAF during the Second World War will be placed on the internet starting
today. Over 5 Million of them ranging from shots of the Bismark while
she was being hunted, The Invasion at Normandy, and the Crematoriums at
Auschwitz billowing smoke.

This site will become a valued refereance for those of us who are
intrested in this era of history.

Salve Senator Drusus,
I can't visit it because the website is too required
BTW I have seen some images yesterday in an italian TV show. They
are very impressive and tragical. In some pics of Auschwitz it's
possible to see the long of the prisoners entering in the gas-room.
I agree, this website is one of the most important historical source
and first of all in my opinion a good way to understand what were
the human tragedies of the WWII and of the war.

I uploaded an archive (calen57.doc, MS Word), that is
the calendar that i use, privately, to help me with

Is basically the gregorian calendar, with latin names,
the mensal markers (calendas, idus, nonas), market
days and festivals/games depicted.

I dont know if it is something close to what you want,

Subject: Making a Fasces? You will need time and patience.
Brandon:

This Gallio Marsallas. I made the Fasces on the Legio XXIV page.
It was not all that easy to make. Holding the rods in position as you glue
and
bind them takes about four hands, but I used large rubber bands to hold
things
together. Assemble and glue the bundle in stages, as doing it all would be
a nightmare.
Also, burying the ax and handle in the rod bundle requires that a number of
the
rods be cut, notched, beveled or shaved to fit well.
The rods are 3/4 inch diameter, but I would recommend maybe 5/8 inch
diameter,
which I now believe would be more accurate as to size.
My fasces turned out to be on the large size, but it is impressive.
Fasces probably came in varying sizes, so your idea of what looks right
would
probably suffice.

Good Luck

Gallio / George Legion XXIV

Subject: Nova Roma Coin on eBay Experiment

Salve Civies,
I intend on placing a single Nova Roma coin onto eBay as an experiment.
I've been including a Nova Roma coin in my occassional eBay auctions as a
free
bonus, however I would like to see if the coin itself could capture any
attention. I initially purchased 60 of the coins and I'm now down to just
below
40. I'd prefer if Nova-Roma citizens don't bid on it (hence, not including
a
link to the auction) because I'm hoping that it will get the attention of
people not currently aware of Nova Roma. However, since the Nova-Roma
coins are
currently sold out, if you do not have any I won't object if you bid on it.
Please do not bid on it if you have any of the coins. The auction page will
essentially be a copy & paste of the coin page on novaroma.org.
Vale,
Iulius Titinius Antonius

Salve,

I will be helping out in a play within the next few months that
involves Romans naturally and I need some historical help.
Magistrates will have a part in it therefore we wished to employ
the fasces as well as the toga. From the pictures of the citizens I
have seen most of the men have their togas and the internet has so
many descriptions of what it should look like how it should fold and
the length and pattern; can a Nova Roman help in this area? Also
does anyone happen to know th dimensions of the fasces; I know what
they looked like as well as their purpose but not how big. Any help
or websites you can post for me would be great. Gratias
Valete, Brandon

From: Gnaeus Salix Astur <salixastur@...>
Subject: Latin Translation of the Oath of Office

Cn. Salix Astur Quiritibus S.P.D.

For several years, our magistrates have sworn an oath upon their
appointment. This oath is officially defined by the Lex Iunia de
Iusiurando:
http://www.novaroma.org/tabularium/leges/1999-10-19-ii.html

Some of our magistrates, in an effort to be closer to our forefathers,
have sworn a Latin translation of that oath at the same time as the
official English oath. Several such translations have circulated.

After some comments on this forum about the correctness of one of such
translations, I asked Flavia Tullia, our resident latinist, to provide
a translation of the official oath of office that could be presented to
the public as a possible addendum to that official oath of office.

She, with the help of other citizens like Praetor Cn. Octavius Noricus,
Aedilis Plebeia Emilia Curia Finnica and Aulus Aenobarbus, has managed
to fulfill this petition in a timely and proper manner. Pontifex C.
Iulius Scaurus acceded to revise the text and gave his "imprimatur". So
here it is:

Ego, ____________________hac re ipsa decus Novae Romae me
defensurum/am, et semper pro populo senatuque Novae Romae acturum/am
esse sollemniter IVRO.

Ego,____________________officio ___________________[consulis, etc.]
Novae Romae accepto, deos deasque Romae in omnibus meae vitae publicae
temporibus me culturum/am, et virtutes Romanas publica privataque vita
me persecuturum/am esse IVRO.

Ego____________________Religioni Romanae me fauturum/am et eam
defensurum/am, et numquam contra eius statum publicum me acturum/am
esse, ne quid detrimenti capiat IVRO.

Ego, ___________________officiis muneris______________________me quam
optime functurum/am esse praeterea IVRO.

Meo civis Novae Romae honore, coram deis deabusque populi Romani, et
voluntate favoreque eorum, ego munus ___________________una cum
iuribus, privilegiis, muneribus et officiis comitantibus ACCIPIO.

What do you think, citizens? Should this Latin translation be added to
our official oath, so that the oath is made both in Latin and English?
I find it very appropriate, but I would like to know your opinion.

Flavia Tullia's explanation of the corrections needed by the previous
translation follows:

> Flavia Tullia quiritibus, sociis, peregrinisque omnibus salutem
> plurimam dicit.
>
> Recently, several individuals posted comments on the Latinitas
> site regarding the correctness of the Latin in that version of the
> Nova Roman oath of office, a matter I had privately called to the

Thank you very much, Flavia Tullia, for providing this translation to us.

May 15, 2004
Woodstock Fairgrounds, Equestrian Center
Woodstock, CT
10 am to 4 pm
Contact: lawrensnest@...

Join us for Roman Day Northeast! We have rented an equestrian park so we can
have military maneuvers and gladiatorial combat in fun and safety. We would
like to welcome members of Legios III, VIIII, X, XX and XXIV, and the Magnus
Ludus Gladiatore (School of the Great Gladiator) who will be fighting it out
in the ring.
Find out what it was like to be a Roman solider by visiting our military
encampments. Or, find out what it was like to be a barbarian in the Roman
empire by visiting our Barbarian encampment. There will be dice games and a
Roman ball game to play throughout the day. Bring the kids for a fun day
of making mosaics, coloring and storytelling (parents must supervise their
own children). Bean the barbarian or bean the centurion. What would a day
in Rome be without the Roman Market Place? Stop by our Merchants' Row and
bring home a handcrafted item or trinket. If you are a legionnaire or a
citizen of Rome and would like to be a part of this year's Roman Day
Northeast or would like to vend, please contact La Wren's Nest at the above

Spectati Cives,

in Italy two marvellous calendars are available for sale.

Neither is NR product.
One is made by a Roman religion community that I personally wouldn't suggest
to
join. Nevertheless their calendar is perfectly and carefully made. Ten
dollars.

The second, beautiful and correct under every regard has been made by a true
authority in Roman religion, Prof. Renato del Ponte. Still ten dollars.
If anyone is interested I could help sending copies to people asking, or I
could be sending a stock
to Nova Roma and NR will distribute it afterwards.
If the people concerned wiyh such a topic contact I can give any help
willingly.
I would like to underline that i wouldnìt be making money at all and I shall
only send
copies.

Salve Gallus Solaris Alexander,
I had been researching the possibility of making a professional mosaic
Roman
calendar but I am afraid that I all I found out is that it would be
ridiculously expensive. Naturally, pre-made calendars suddenly sound quite
appealing. Is there any information about the 2 calendars available on the
internet?
If they are truely well-made, I would be interested in purchasing one
through you immediately. Or Perhaps the Senate can put some money aside to
purchase a large set and sell it through the Marcellum.

Spectata Aurelia,

unfortunately none of them is visible on the Internet.

The first mentioned is a bit smaller in size, it contains the nowadays name
and number of the day and the Roman one.
Each day has the festivity occurring and plenty occurrences such as Emperors
Birthday,
but Divi only, temple dedications.
Every month has a philosophical description.
The Del Ponte one is bigger, same structure less imperial anniversaries,
more religious staff.
Every explanation is in italian.
Let me remind you all that Renato del Ponte is the best italian expert on
Roman Religion,
and I'm not exxagerating at all.

Last year I attempted to make a Roman calendar using Apple's iCal
program but, was not able to make much headway due some personal
problems. If anyone else is using Mac OSX have you thought about making
one with iCal? Here is a site that has 1593 calendar's made by iCal:

This will give ya'll an idea what can be done with iCal. There is a

Subject: Re: New Spartacus Miniseries

Salvete!

In response to Gaia Fabia Livia's remarks, I think it would be wonderful to
come up with a Roman movie! There are so many topics in Roman history that
have either never been portrayed or have been somewhat misrepresented. Now
is the time to set these stories straight!

For example, I think it would be quite interesting to make a movie about
Tiberius' life and rule. He is a very complex character, rich in
psychological paradoxes, and he remains an enigma even to modern historians.
I believe that during his reign, he was sort of entangled in a spider's web
of intrigues from which he and his reputation could never escape. Also, if
you are into romance, there is a tragic love story in his life.

Another era in Roman History not often the subject of movies are the 4th and
5th centuries AD just before the fall of Rome in 476 AD. There are a number
of interesting characters and interesting events-Theodosius and his two weak
sons Arcadius and Honorius, Flavius Stilicho, Theodosius II and John
Chrystostom. Not to mention the sack of Alaric, Attila the Hun and the
Gothic Wars!!

I hope these potential movies will one day hit the screen! Vale, Vipsania

Subject: Roman Law In The Oil Patch
Salvete omnes,

I can remember as a young kid that leaders of the colonies that were
beginning to decolonize used the argument that a little learning
could be a dangrous thing. Perhaps this is the case with old Quintus.

I am in Northern British Columbia working on an extensive gas
drilling project for the winter. The other day was very slack for me
so I was getting my essay finished for the NR philosophy course.
Some of the logistics and construction managers visited our office
and we had our morning talks. They espied my Roman and Latin for
Dummies Books on the shelves and asked me questions on Ancient Rome.

Now this whole area of frozen forests, muskeg, lakes and all is
honeycombed with trails, service roads, seismic and pipe lines. There
is lots of traffic and we try to increase saftey using road radios.
Nevertheless, it seems like we have some regular Ben Hurs who have
sets of wheels that just don't quit. Speeding on icy roads and
corners, not calling in their kilometers and not just giving a s###
for others' safety.

Whilst talking about Rome I mentioned that if a slave killed his
master, every slave of the household was put to death. Cruel though
it was, it certainly encouraged other slaves to keep in line and
immediately report any plots to their masters. Other than Spartacus
and a few skirmishes, the system worked for centuries. The discussion
about road safety then came up. I reminded the managers of the Roman
way. I said "When a person gets caught speeding a few times you let
him go?" "Yes" they answered. "Well you know that he'll just laugh
and because it is so busy now he is off to another project somewhere
else." says Quintus. " Well if a guy gets caught driving unsafetly a
second or third time, why not skid his whole company who will stand
to lose hundeds of thousands if not millions on this project. In that
way one employee will keep the other in line if they value their
jobs... and, the speeder who cost his company a whole project will
leave laughing...all the way to the unemployment office!

They will be implementing this idea from the look of things. Awful,
aren't I! Oh well, its nice that one can work in NR, pick up some
knowledge and apply it to modern life.

Quintus Lanius Paulinus

Subject: Interview by L Iulius Sulla
SALVETE CIVES ROMANI

We all have, now, a big opportunity to learn more and more about
Ancient Rome.

In Italia we have a Provincial Academia, named Academia Italica. I
have been working for our local Academia in last one year and half.
I'm now leading a cultural project called "Chiedilo all'Esperto" (we
will call it "Interview the Expert").
I find out, every month, an Expert in some field of interest about
Ancient Rome: history, military, Religio, philosophy, engineering,
epigraphy, Lingua Latina, archaeology et cetera. I decide with him a
particular theme, and I give Cives Italici the chance of
an "interview" to him about any matter about that theme; Cives
Italici send to my personal email all questions they have about that
particolar and montly theme; at the end of the month, I decide wich
questions are mostly significant and interesting, and I send them to
our Expert!

Here are the news:

Our Hon. Consul Gn Salix Astur has made me responsible of this
project for all Novaroma, for all Cives.
So, I'm here to start with this project: "Interview the Expert".

Any question you have about the montly theme, you only have to send
it to one of my email addresses (21aprile@... or
iulius@...).

Here follow all the Experts we have had since July, with their
fields of interest:

Prof M Pasquinucci (Pisa)--- Centuriatio
Prof F Nicastro (Roma)--- Passage from Republic to Principate
Prof S Marin (Sweden)--- Medieval Latin
Prof G Letta (Pisa)--- The Origins of Roma
Prof M Ronzani (Florence)--- Christians in Late Empire and among
barbarian people
Prof G Brizzi (Bononia)--- Military in Late Republic

I will choose the most significant and interesting questions, send

Salvete Quirites!

I had the pleasure to meet Honorable Lucius Iulius Sulla during the
Nova Roman Rally in Bononia during the last summer. I was impressed
by his interest for and knowledge of Roman history and values. He
gave the impression to be a person able to handle both internal and
external contacts with great success. In fact I was so impressed that
I promised to support his climb up the Cursus Honorum as I think that
we need to support more of our young citizens' development as active
participants in Nova Roma.

Since then I have seen Honorable Lucius Iulius Sulla take
responsibility in a varity of fields and this only strengthened my
decison to support his climb up on the Cursus Honorum.

Quirites to support Honorable Lucius Iulius Sulla for Quaestor will
give us one more active young citizen on the international level.
Vote for Lucius Iulius Sulla for Quaestor!

Now I'm very happy to see that our Illustrus Consul Astur and my

Salvete,

They've been doing this in the military going all they way back to the
Legions. We call it "group punishment". In certain cases when one person
screws up, the whole unit gets punished, directly or other wise. This is
especially common in the basic training enviorment. The effect of peer
pressure to keep your nose clean becuase everyone's collective asses are
on the line can have amazing results! At least there's no decimation any

Subject: The "Interview the Expert" Project
Cn. Salix Astur Quiritibus S.P.D.

Not long ago, L. Iulius Sulla came to me with a brand new idea. He
wanted to extend to all Nova Roma a cultural project that had been
developed in the Provincia of Italia. And when he explained his idea
to me, the only thing that I could think was: "I wish this idea had
been mine" :-).

Now seriously; I am eager to meet our first expert. Since I joined
Nova Roma, I have learnt a great deal about Ancient Rome; but that
has not exhausted my desire to learn more. In fact, my current
knowledge allows me to see how much I do not know.

So I can hardly wait to make a few questions. What was the function
and composition of the antesignani in the Roman Republican army? How
was the corvus developed as a Roman invention? What are the rules of
latrunculi? Can we trust C. Iulius Caesar's description of the Gauls?
And the most important one: how was the archfamous "sponge on a
stick" cleaned after use? :-)

Thank you, L. Iuli, for bringing us this marvelous idea. I think that
this will certainly raise the cultural level of this mailing list.

Well, People, guess what. The cista is open.
And look, Iulius writes English as well Apulus, oh joy.
Second, don't you think the timing of this announcement is a wee

I mean, just in case we forgot, who was running, here is Iulius telling us
about his marvelous conversation with Roman experts. And how we can ask them
questions. Why this makes him good quaestor material is not readily
explained.
Oh it is not about him running for Quaestor? Really? So why does his end

I invite the People to draw their own conclusions.
To be fair, D. Octavia Moravina should post about her recent research into

Subject: Diana Octavia and the Quaestorship
G. Iulius Scaurus S. P. D.

Salvete, Quirites.

I think that it is a significant contribution to our republic for L.
Iulius' interviews with to be posted here. Some time ago I suggested
that they be collected into a page for the NR website; I hope that
will happen as well.

I also think that L. Iulius would make an excellent quaestor, since he
is a young man of obvious talent and erudition. Were circumstances
otherwise I would endorse him with enthusiasm and vote for him. I
want what I am about to write to be taken as no denigration of him or
reflection of anything but the high regard in which I hold him. I was
not particularly pleased to see his offhand remark about Praesina on
the ML, since I, at least, have insisted that my aedilician staff not
participate in the factiones this year lest any hint of favouritism or
partiality be suggested, but the Gods know everyone makes the
occasional faux pas (I have certainly more often than my fair share
:-). The reason I have not voted for him has nothing to do with that
sort of thing or the avidness with which he has pursued the Magna
Mater and other cultural projects -- the latter something which I
cannot praise more highly, but because I believe another candidate is
more qualified by macronational experience and years of service to NR
to be a quaestor.

Diana Octavia Aventina served nobly and assiduously as tribuna plebis.
As a partician I would not normally comment on the service of a
tribune of the plebs, but I believe that a fundamental dedication to
the protection of the constitutional rights of all citizens is
something which a patrician can only respect in a plebian magistrate.
I believe that only the outstanding legislator, our senior consul,
Gn. Salic Astur, has served with greater distinction in the plebian
tribunate than D. Moravia before her admission to the patrician gens
Octavia.

D. Octavia has served as the local organiser of a European NR Rally
and has volunteered to do so again. As Fr. Apulus has wisely
observed, the Aediles have a vital role to play in promoting such
face-to-face meetings of our citizens, particularly now that we shall
actively encouraging the formation of local groups. D. Octavia's
experience in this area is at least as formidable as that if L. Iulius.

D. Octavia has worked in international banking with a sterling
reputation for honesty and efficiency. Some time ago some crude
remarks were made about a miscalculation she had made in a posting on
the main list. I do mathematical modeling of the late antique Roman
economy using sophisticated statistical methods and I have taught
econometrics and cliometrics at the graduate level, but without a
calculator I am wont occasionally to flub a simple arithmetic
procedure. I am certain D. Octavia owns a calculator. I am also
certain that she would not have been employed for long in the banking
industry if she were not assiduous about her sums. Cheap shots do not
trump professional success.

D. Octavius has served with great devotion as sacerdos Veneris. By
Venus Genetrix and Pater Quirinus I swear, as Flamen Quirinalis and
Pontifex, that there is no more devoted priestess or advocate for the
the Religio among our citizens. The work she has done for the Religio
Romana within the Pagan Federation has earned significant good will
within the European pagan community for Nova Roma. Work for the
Religio is not so publicly heralded and rewarded as other sorts of
participation in our republic on the ML, but it is absolutely vital
for maintaining the pax Deorum which is at the core of the reason for
Nova Roma's existence. D. Octavia has worked long and hard, and with
great enthusiasm, in this vital area of our republic.

I believe by dint of hard work and great devotion to our republic D.
Octavia has earned my vote for quaestor and I hope she has earned
yours as well.

Here's a link to "Rome Empire":

http://wwwtc.nhmccd.cc.tx.us/people/crf01/rome/

This site, created by Clifton R.Fox (Tomball College), contains fasti
of the ordinary consuls from 300 BCE to 68 CE, a genealogy of the
Iulio-Claudians, and prosopographical material on Roman emperors.
However, what is most valuable is that it has the fasti of republican
censors, something which I think is nowhere else available on the net
(in fact, I'm not certain it's available in hardcopy anywhere else but
the MRR volumes).

I think that you should abstain to make too many comments about the
English spoken by some of our Italic citizens, senator. After all,
your Italian is worse than their English.

L. Iulius is not only willing to work for Nova Roma; he is willing to
make the effort to write and speak a foreign language in order to do
it. This should be praised, not derided.

Actually, this has been planned for several months. It had been
planned much before L. Iulius Sulla knew that he was going to run for
quaestor. I know because I have been discussing it with L. Iulius
since November.

> Why this makes him good quaestor material is not readily explained.

It certainly shows that L. Iulius is a citizen who has good ideas and
the energy to bring them to fruition. He seems excellent magistrate
material to me. Exactly the kind of person I would like to see
beginning his Cursus Honorum in Nova Roma.

You seem to be implying that there is some kind of "unfair play" in
showing one's current work during an electoral campaign. I frankly
fail to see why *that* would be bad.

I explicitly invite her to do it. I am also interested in that.

L. Iulius created the "Interview the Expert" project for the
Provincia of Italia last year. You can ask any Italic citizen about
that. He is going to do the same thing for all Nova Roma this year,
and I thank him for that. It is not an electoral trick, and it is not
a witty move; it is the work of an excellent citizen who is willing
to dedicate part of his free time to spreading the culture of Ancient
Rome.

Why, Consul if our National language was Italian, I certainly would not

The timing was just suspicious, as I have remarked. Since we are not

It is true it was unnecessary for Iulius to attach his electoral tag, if he

There are many citizens in Nova Roma that speak very little English
or none at all. And some of them play a very active role in the
development of our Res Publica. Their effort deserves our utmost
respect; and you are not showing that respect, senator.

As for English being our "national language", I'd say that that is
not an appropriate term. I would say that English is our "current
working language". Nova Roma can reasonably have just one language as
its national language, and that language is Latin.

So you are recognising that they can be sufficiently understood...

> The timing was just suspicious, as I have remarked.

Suspicious of what?
If you are trying to imply that L. Iulius is presenting his past and
current work as an argument in his electoral campaign, I have to say
that I see nothing wrong with that. If you are trying to imply that
the whole "Interview the Expert" project is just an electoral
manoeuvre with no content whatsoever, then I have to correct you.
L. Iulius has already brought this project to completion in his
native province, and he has been discussing with me its extension to
Nova Roma as a whole since November.

> Since we are not censored I believe I can make any comment I wish
> as long as it is truthful.

And I can correct you as long as you are mistaken.

> It is true that Iulius writes in bad English.

His English does not seem that bad to me. I can understand it
perfectly. Perhaps you could say that L. Iulius' English is not
perfect. But then, neither is mine. And you have made a couple of
ortographic and sintactic mistakes in this very same message, so I am
afraid that *your* English is not perfect either.

Salvete omnes,

I just wanted to point out something about learning languages. Over
the years I worked hard to learn to speak and write Spanish. I
brushed up in my French a while back and just finished the NR Latin
course. Well, I have a long way to go in Latin and especially in
mastering noun declensions.

Now something I noticed is that my spelling in English and sometimes
my gramatical constructions have been less than perfect or down right
sloppy. I like writing directly on this list but it does not seem to
have spell check like MS word. When I work in a few languages I find
that my spelling of similar or close words that are common in the
other languages can often get confused. Also, when I am concentrating
on heavy thoughts or ideas, outlining etc, my spelling guard seems to
go to the back burner or subconscience. Based on my experience, I see
why people who work in different languages can often make minor
errors. When I only knew English and no other language my spelling
and grammar were perfect and I always got very good to excellent
marks on my papers. Sometimes I reverse vowels, eg. taech rather than
teach or treid rather than tired and the mean old teachers who could
redicule you when I was a kid said that was a perceptual handicap I
had! Duh!

Salve Quinte Lani:

Well, stated, plus, when speaking to those whose English might be a
second language, one plays for one's audience, so to speak. There is
no need for multi-syllable overdressed posts, in fact they are a
detriment, when trying to make a point to as many persons as possible.

I could say: "That idea, as I see it, needs some major kicks in the
gluteus" OR I could say "The cognitive anomaly proposed, as I appraise
the ramifications of all its factors, requires a succession of
reverberative kinetic pedal thrusts to its coccygeal constituents" :)

I find that many European civites (I don't mean to lump you all into
one, but for purposes of multi-language discussions I must for a
second) from exposure to the English on this list, have improved
their skills tremendously. Didius Septimus, I don't mean to center
you out, but you have improved tremendously. In any case, *few* times
they fail to make their point to the extent where I must ask for
clarification. So when it boils down to inability to do a job based on
poor English, it has to be extremely 'bad' before I use that against
anyone. I make mistakes with homonymns myself their for there, when
my brain is lazy.

****************optional reading :)********************

Converse to all of this:

When I was Praetor, we dropped the restrictions on the Mainlist for
English only, because I/we felt that it was unfair to make people feel
they had no access to the list because their English was poor. If
they wanted to post in Spanish, for example "Hey, anyone out there
from Spain, I'm from Madrid" they should be welcome to, and so be
directed to the provincia. Friendly, unofficial conversation. It was
abused x 1 in a major way, resulting in a nota from the Censor. But
there are interpretors and enough people with skill in German to
quickly let us know what this guy was up to. Prior to this,
protective factors were put in place in terms of assuring that the
languages spoken most frequently on the list were matched by those who
agreed to watch the list for possible infarctions, and the official
interpreters were helpful as well.

This did not nor does it today contravene the Lex Cornelia regarding
the official posts of a magistrate, which are to be in English or
English/Latin.

The first step to growth of any organization is to make people feel
welome, and to take an axe to as many barriers as possible to
communication. Relaxing language restrictions was one of them.

Actually, that is not always true (I do not say this to counter your
argument; I am just trying to expand the information you have
provided).

I am going to tell you a little secret. When I write in English,
there are native English speakers who say things like "your English
is very good". The truth is that I have a trick :-). Do you know all
those terribly difficult polisyllabic words like, e.g., polisyllabic?
Most of them come from Greek or Latin. And they are basically the
same in the languages derived from Latin (like Spanish, for example).

Think that the sentence above, translated to Spanish, would be:
"La anomalía cognitiva propuesta, tal y como yo aprecio las
ramificaciones de todos sus factores, requiere una sucesión de
empujes cinéticos pedestres reverberativos en sus constituyentes
cóxicos". Compare the two and you will see many similarities.

For those of us who speak a vulgar dialect of Latin as our mother
tongue, it is far more difficult to understand slang terms or phrasal
verbs than long, Latin words. The same may not be true for those of
us who speak a Germanic tongue as their native language, of course.

My good senator, I do never make fun of foreigners trying to speak my
own language (I remember the pain of the first couple of years of
English and the present embarrass when I try to express myself in
French, even if just in front of other 10 people who are studying it
together with me) yet, since you started this, and just to put things
straight, I have to say that your last attempt at Italian over this
mailing list was just as good as a penguin trying to make a lion's roar.


Shall we recall it? It was the 2nd of December 2003, message #17666

"Salve
Io non avevo pensiero il Suo inglese è povero. Io non ho capito mai il
Suo
significato. Io sento Lei si abbassa superfluamente. Io pensai che il
Suo
inglese era piuttosto buono."

So, your Italian that is as good as "their" (But read it as an "our",
being that I'm an Italian as well and I claim my "English as Second
Language" right to be included in that) English, translated, sounds
like:

"Hi
I had no thought (besides the wrongly chosen word, it should have been
"idea", there is a missing, necessary, "that" here) your English is (but
expressed in a wrong tense and mode) pauper. I have understood never
(totally wrong syntax) its meaning. I hear you are bending yourself in a
superfluous way (if that has a meaning, it escapes me). I thought (but
expressed in Italian with a very wrong tense) that you English was
(expressed not only in a wrong tense, but in a wrong mode, give)
somewhat good"

To count them, it makes a dozen of mistakes, from average to severe
grade, and a totally meaningless sentence in 2 lines and a half, so much
that at the time it raised the suspect you had used a cheap online
translation tool to come up with those lines and just claimed you knew
any Italian. All considered, a legitimate doubt, but personally I really
do think you know Italian, or rather that you are sure of knowing that
at least well enough to bring yourself as an example of someone able to
make himself understood in another, foreign, language.

Now, if with this kind of Italian you made yourself clear to a movie
crew (probably used to work with foreigners, surely provided of an
immense patience), that surely goes to the crew members' linguistic and
interpretative skills' credit, yet would be nice if you showed to
someone else the same patience the (probably Italian) crew showed to
you.

Incidentally, if that is your Italian, my senator, Sulla's English is
definitely a couple of grades better, but even if it was not, this is an
international organization, (or micronation, whatever): to make fun of a
large part of the population out of its inability to speak a perfect
English is irresponsible, slightly racist and showing a narrow mindness
which would already deserve contempt if coming by an any citizen, but
that is definitely not proper for a senator, member of a body that
should represent the whole number of the republic's citizens.

In any case, before making fun of someone else attempting to express
himself in a foreign language, a minimum of wiseness or simple good
sense should suggest you to defer after having made a fool of yourself,
in public, on this same mailing list, doing exactly the same thing.

I guess you meant me? I'm Didius Geminus Sceptius, my friend (If
not, forgive my egocentric view :-))

However, I must say that is not only the exposure to this list but
the reading I have made over the years. I left the Official Academy
of Languages of my country two years ago, and I keep my limited
knowledge by reading not only the ML posts (In which I find a lot of
mistakes) but classical writters like Joyce (Not the "Ulisses'"
one :-)) or Chesterton or even the alien Conrad (Well, also Tolkien,
Kipling or Michael Moore are on my list :-D)

I do not mind to be corrected in this Forum or wherever I be, but I
ask respect for those whose skills on english (I include myself) as
non native speakers can drive them to mistakes on spelling or
grammar. I would say, as our Consul, that english *is not* official,
but the bussiness language. I do not read or write latin also (This
is my purpose when civil servant) but I welcome all corrections in
my very limited knowledge of it (Being my language a corrupted one
of Latin plus some other hundreds :-)).

Difference is in pulling the leg on those who doesn't speak
correctly or are not properly adviced. Senator Fabius Maximus is
very well known for his "vast" knowledge in many areas (In which not
only I have asked about with no answer, but he had proved not to
know so much) but also for his conceited use of that image (He
usually starts with a "I'm an expert on..."). I have just asked him,
as I would do to anyone in this list, to respect those who wasn't
born in the Union or UK and therefore have another language as first
and native one.

I do not mind to write in english, but I see positive to encourage
those who does, not to retract them. We depend on a large number of
*non native english speakers*. This is a fact, a truth, and Nova
Roma can only be international and achieve its goals if we respect
that simple fact. Do not forget it.

By the way, the translation of our Consul Astur is excellent (As far
as is in my mather tongue ;-)) and shows what he says. I would
therefore ask for a sensible policy on language. It is not so
difficult to achieve.

Salvete,

Some personal reflections on the subject:

I am a native English speaker, and the daughter of an English and
Literature teacher. Over these many years I have observed that
written communications tend to be more formal than spoken.

Soon after I encountered the phenomenon of Internet communications, I
observed that, though the medium of communications remains the
written word, the manner of those communications resembles spoken
conversation in its immediacy of delivery. I see misspellings and
grammatical mistakes many times, however, I am not as bothered by
them as I otherwise would be (it's grated horribly on me over the
years when my son has brought home teacher missives riddled with
mistakes) because I recognise that this list is not a series of
letters, it's a series of conversations.

I speak passable French and German and a few sentences of Italian and
Latin. I lived in Austria for a year, traveled extensively throughout
Europe and recently spent ten blissful days in Rome. I always do my
best to speak in the language of the country I am visited, and I'm
grateful indeed for the courtliness and hospitality -- even
enthusiasm -- with which my imperfect sentences are received.

My parents regularly visit Paris, and are invariably charmed by the
courtly hospitality of the Parisians -- even though their knowledge
of the language is fragmentary.

In turn, I am delighted that so many of our citizenry throughout the
world attempt to communicate in English -- one of the more
challenging languages to learn -- and I may always repay the
hospitality I've received in foreign lands with hospitality here at
home.

For example: " Yo, I really feel ya Consul doo...you're lines are

I should think that as for a national language, Latin is the obvious
choice for Nova Roma, yes? How people choose to speak in the
vernacular, well, each to his or her own, right? I am sure that the
Veii spoke their own dialect rather well, even if formal Latin
haltingly; likewise, in later times, the Goths, Gauls, and Celts.

Thus an attempt to speak any language not one's monther tongue in
the spirit of communication is to be praised openly, yet not
condescendingly. If the gods compel you to admonish and correct as
a grammarian, simply make a polite suggestion privately. After all,
then you would not be trying to embarrass the locutor in open forum
as a testament to your own skill in rhetoric, but rather you would
quietly be extending a lingustic arm to help the other walk with
head held high and proud.

As you can remember, from the beginning, when you *really* asked me
to do this, I had many doubts, not just for the project, that I'm
sure is really good, but for the big engagement it brings onto. All
the doubts were definitely forgotten when I thought to the utility
of this matter.

As I always say to Novaromans, we have to deeply understand how
Roman Culture is important to us, to our association. Some of us,
during their Cursus Honorum and their "run to the power" forget this
important lesson.
Nobody of us knows everything about Roman Culture, but everyone of
us could give some of his own culture to other Cives; so, an Expert
could give *really so much* to Nova Roma and Novaromans.

Subject: Re: English and other subjects
Salvete omnes,

Something I found as an English speaker was that when I learned and
tried to even stumble through a few phrases in another language the
people were extremely happy, polite, and encouraging with respect to
my efforts. I made a few errors in my visit to Colombia; being in the
wrong neighbourhood and not always having the right documents with
me. My Spanish was still in its infancy then and when I tried hard to
communicate in their language, the ice melted, kind guardian angels
escorted me safetly out of the bad neighbourhoods and the police and
paramilitary treated me like a King and gave me rides to where I was
going. Similarily my sister who speaks fluent Italian wandered into
an awful area in Palermo and 5 prostitutes protected her bought her
coffee and escorted her out. Similarily I have been treated like a
Roman Emperor himself by Islamic people when I learned a few phrases
in Arabic (which I quickly forgot by now). After their big feast I
couldn't eat for a week!

Anyway, my point here is that we English speaking people should
extend the same type of courtesy to all those who try so hard to
learn our language. Many people where I am working tell me that
English is the toughest language to learn. Have you ever studied
another language says Quintus? Nope; our two official languages in
the oil patch are English and Profanity. I tell the to come over to
look at my Spanish verb conjugations and tell them about the
sujunctive modes. To add insult to their injuries, my best weapon are
the 5 declensions of nouns in Latin. I then remind them that these
languages are relatively simple. Do you wish to learn Russian, Greek
or Hebrew with totally different alphabets and more complex grammar?
Not likely. Back to work they go with a new and better attitude and
more respect for other languages and cultures.

Well, I tried to be clear (with poor outcomes!): I do not know
anything about "factiones"; just in these days I'm asking some
leaders the history of these games and how games are held.
The fact is: I did not charge with any factio, as I do not owe to
any factio; the little I know about factiones, is that f. Praesina
is the first antagonist of f. Russata. That's all.
As many Cives do not do, when I talk about games and not important
things, I use to be *ironic*. Other Cives are not, I am. That's all.
No problem with Russata, Praesina and others.

Salvete omnes,

Off and on I hear comments about too much email, especially more
contraversial ones annoyingly cogging up or filling mail boxes. I,
like many of you belong to this list, the sodalistas and perhaps the
Imperial Rome2 discussion group. Would it not be easier to just
say, "no email" I'll read the list rather than having all that mail
with the spam come to your box. I find that going to the various
lists each day makes it far simpler to skim, scan or study the
incoming mails and organize your priorities as to what interests you
and what doesn't. An overall picture is worth 1000 words they say.
Perhaps the exceptions are the consuls censors and other magistrates
who have to keep in communication constantly with one another but
certainly not for the rest of us.

LOL. My point exactly. English is our langurage of choice since it is the
most common commerce langurage in the world. If I was still in Germany, I
would still need to know English as a second langurage. I have many Italian
friends who speak better English then I. These men cannot really speak English,
they are just making stabs at it. I spent years translating Italian scripts into
English,
I know what mistakes they are making, and I copensate for it.
But the poor English reader here cannot make this distinction. But who
speaks for them? I believe magistrates should be able to communicate clearly, and
Apulus simply doesn't. Iulius is not much better. If Apulus wishes to hold
magistracies

I really think at Nova Roma's education, and I trust it. So, it's
true that when you give your vote to one candidate, you want to know
all his competences, his electoral program and his expectations.
I want more culture for Nova Roma, and Consul Gn. Salix Astur gave

Even if it was a private message here the things can be:

Well, yes and no. Lest anyone forget, I just want to point out that
we *do* have two official languages by law: Latin and English. Latin
is our official ceremonial language, English is our official business
language. The latter received this status by being the lingua franca
of the modern world. I think this arrangement is quite practical.

The relevant law, quoted in part below is:

LEX CORNELIA DE LINGUIS PUBLICIS

I. Due to the increasingly inter macronational nature of the
Citizenship of Nova Roma, it has become necessary for the official
language policy of the Republic to be defined, in such a way that
acknowledges our historical antecedents, practical concerns, and the
sensibilities of all of our Citizens. To that end, this Lex Cornelia
de Linguis Publicis is adopted.

II. Latin is hereby adopted as the official ceremonial language of
Nova Roma. As such, it shall be used in rites conducted by the curule
magistrates and appointed priests of Nova Roma on behalf of the
entire nation, as well as other circumstances where it may be deemed
appropriate.

III. English is hereby adopted as the business language of Nova
Roma's central government. As such, it shall be used in official
communications from and day-to-day business conducted by the central
government (defined for purposes of this proviso as the Senate and
non provincial magistrates). Other languages may be used in such
communications where deemed appropriate, but an English translation
must accompany such communications.

Of course official communications are a far cry from casual postings
on the main list. One should expect a higher-level of language
competency in the official postings of magistrates. However, to
publicly criticize the language skills of everyday postings on the
main list, as has been done in recent days, is simply boorish.

I agree. These language conversations hit way too many nerves here and if we are truly
international, then the English mother tongue speakers need to lighten up. Our international
colleagues put in a lot of time and effort to communicate in English. I speak in a foreign
language (Dutch) day in and day out and communicating in a language which is not one's mother
tongue is much easier said than done.

As far as official communications, I have said before that if magistrate who doesn't write English
very well needs to post an 'official' communication, they can always send it to me and I am happy

First I would like to comment that just because someone puts my name is in the subject, it does
not mean that I agree with what is contained within the post. I have not confirmed this, but I
think that during 2003 I must have broken the record for the most times a person was directly
referred to in a subject line... And so far it is the same for 2004.

For the record, I think L Iulius' English is just fine. Regarding interviews: During every
election every candidate posts about what they have been doing for NR even if it is not at all
relevant to the position that they are running for. I am not saying that this is the case, but
even if his interviews were *specifically* announced now in order to give him pre-election
advertising I don't see a problem with that. Any post that is made in order to say positive things
about L Iulius is well within the list guidelines.

And more Diana Octavia name dropping:

QFM <> To be fair, D. Octavia Moravina should post about her recent
<> research into the Goddess Venus.

GSA <I explicitly invite her to do it. I am also interested in that.

I have been busy making a new rubriek on my online Temple of Venus which lists every mention of
Venus in the ancient texts, with a link to the complete version. I am also adding some beautiful
artwork of what is described in the texts in order to make it visually pleasing. The end result
will be about 100 new pages on my site, so don't expect to see it next week :-) I'll send an email
when this new rubriek is completed, which I expect will be sometime next month.

I am also working on making a flash Temple rather than what it is now. This is also taking time
because so far my practical skills don't match what I am visualising in my head. I would like to
make it so that a visitor can click and walk in as if they are really entering a Temple. Easier
said than done!

Lastly, together with G Modius (and in cooperation with various Pontifices) I will be working on
religio texts for the various ludi in my function as sciba for G Iulius Scaurus. I dare say that
this will be the best year in the history of Nova Roma's Curule Aediles. G Iulius Scaurus will be

Subject: A Proposal
Salvete Omnes,

I Couldn't help but notice the recent debate about English skills in
Nova Roma. Rather than just talking about the situation we need to do
something positive about it.

English is the official working language of Nova Roma. I Wrote that law,
so I know why English was selected. It's the most widely spoken language
in the areas where Nova Roma operates, it's the defacto international
language in the modern world having the same position as Greek in
Antiquita. It's the most widely spoken language in Nova Roma at the
present time and almost certainly will remain in that position for the
foreseeable future. It's the language that gives Nova Roma the greatest
growth potential.

Like it or not we are stuck with English, so we might as well make the
most of it. That means we need to help our citizens who lack English
skills acquire them so that they can play a larger role in Nova Roma.

I Suggest that the Academia Thules look into offering an ongoing course
in English as a Second Language. I Realize that English isn't a
traditional Roman course of study, but Greek was a subject that all
educated Romans took, and English is the Greek of the modern world. This
course would help insure that as many citizens as possible would be able
to take part in Nova Roma's affairs, and it would have a bonus effect of
giving those who took it a skill that they could use outside of Nova Roma.

Salvete omnes

This message is primarily aimed to Senator Fabius Maximus, but also to all the citizenry.

Senator, your words in that message you meant to be private are not surprisingly (And regretfully) news. You always try to attack using that argument "Ad hominem" that so many of the novarroman citizens try to avoid and do not like at all. I have suffered in my own flesh your attacks when running for Tribunus Plebis, and even when I try to know, in a objective way, what the candidates could offer to Nova Roma and the post. Once you complaint about me "attacking" you because you said "I'm a public man and you gain popularity by attacking me, poor boy". It is true you are a public man, Senator, but because of that the standards of your manners should be (I don't say "must be") higher. I mean that you shouldn't make fun and spare laughs about other citizens inability to speak or write in perfect english. I mean you shoudn't treat all as pupils of your vast knowledge laughing at them when stating about any issue. I mean you should try to understand that Nova Roma is INTERNATIONAL. And it means you should offer respect and comprehension to the other citizens.

Lanius Paulinus have spoken in a very clear and honest way. Sicinius Drusus' proposal of a course in Academia Thules is a worhty idea. But I don't see that respect or constructive ideas on your words, Senator. As I said once, try to build, not to destroy. And your words are against that good will of "making a better Nova Roma for all of us".

To all citizens I say. Please do not fell afraid of writting in a language that is not your mother tongue. And remember that there is an excellent Curia of Interpretes that can help on that way. If we shorten the chance of having MORE citizens by laughing at them because of their mumbles on a language they don't know, we are not working for the best of Nova Roma, but on the contrary for the worst of it. Try to think it twice before writting again this kind of messages, Senator. I don't ask much more. I wouldn't like to be all weeks asking the Censors for a note against you. Nor for a public response.

And to the issue of Latin and Greek roots of words, to which Fabia has

required study in secondary schools. I know where I live it is not.
Granted English is widely used everywhere, but if knowing Latin is a
gateway to even basic comprehension of other languages, it sure should
be a 'must', nonne?

English and German have their common components too. It is often easy
for me to clue in to key words when reading a website in German, now

Subject: Language Competences
G. Iulius Scaurus S. P. D.

Salvete, Quirites.

There are two entirely separable issues regarding languages on the ML.
First, English is the official business language and Latin the
official ceremonial language (I would prefer Latin to also be an
official business language with official business translated into
both, but that's not the current law). Second, most citizens on the
ML use English on the ML with varying degrees of competence for their
unofficial exchanges.

I haven't seen curule magistrates, or priests for that matter, getting
their chops busted because their ceremonial postings aren't always in
fluent Latin (or in Latin at all, for that matter). The reason is
probably that I could count on two hands the number of citizens who
are fluent enough in Latin to do sight composition of any significant
length in Latin without a dictionary, grammar, and a good deal of
spare time at hand and we've had rather more curule magistrates than
that in NR's history.

However, every so often people grouse about the English competence of
magistrates in their official communications or the unofficial
exchanges of citizens on the ML. The usual arguments are that you
can't be a competent magistrate without fluent English or that
unofficial postings by some in English are incomprehensible to native
speakers of English.

If a magistrate were to have apparitores who translated all his
official business from English to his native language and from his
native language into English with reasonable efficiency, I don't see
in principle why a person who has no English at all couldn't be a
competent magistrate. The Gods know we haven't gotten much complaint
over the years (look at the archives) about the general absence of
ceremonial Latin in most of our curule magistrates, regardless of
their native tongues, and it is as much a legal requirement as English
for official business. And there are laws in the tabularium written
by native speakers of English which have loopholes in them through
which trucks could driven because of infelicities and ambiguities of
English style.

In the matter of general comprehensibility, I haven't seen many "what
the hell are you trying to say?" queries in reply to postings.
Perhaps I am an outlier because I have philological training, but I
haven't personally yet seen a posting on the ML in English, regardless
of the writer's level of competence, the meaning of which I could not
puzzle out. I suspect the same is generally true for most of us or
there would eventually be more exasperated queries in the archives.
To be perfectly frank, I think the criticism of some of our European
citizens for imperfections in their English is a tad chauvinistic. I
have taught at the university level in six American states. Most
American universities have a requirement of two years of study of a
foreign language in the core curriculum. I am convinced from personal
observation that 75% of American university graduates who have
fulfilled this requirement within five years of receiving their
degrees could not competently ask for street directions in the
language they studied or enquire about the location of the loo if
their bladders were bursting. If we are talking about Americans
without undergraduate degrees, the percentage who could function at a
subsistence level in a second language studied in secondary school
would be in the single digits. Yet our European citizens who post
here at least manage to make themselves understood sufficiently that
we aren't scratching our heads in bewilderment every time they post.
This is not to say that one doesn't see some howlers occasionally in
non-native English composition -- and from some far more than others
-- but the reason we don't see them in other languages here (except
Latin) from Americans is that most native-English-speaking Americans
don't have sufficient command of a second language to begin to compose
something which would be regarded as a howler in Italian or Spanish or
French or German (my apologies to the Finns, Swedes, and Dutch, but my
impression is that fluency in those languages by other Europeans is
not that common a phenomenon and virtually unheard of in most Americans).

Since names have been named, I'll specifically say that Fr. Apulus'
command of written English is far from perfect, but at least he bloody
tries and I don't particularly like the message being sent to other
non-native English-speaking citizens that they should be discouraged
from posting here in imperfect English as is the implication of some
of the criticisms of his English. If he buggers up a significant
magisterial responsibility because of his English, then that is a
matter for the law, depending on the nature of the problem, or for the
voters if he should seek higher office, but we should at least wait to
see if it happens before we start stoning him for it. I am
particularly concerned there are others on the NRItalia list who will
be intimidated from participation on the ML because of the griping
every time Fr. Apulus makes a mistake in written English. I don't
think L. Iulius' English is all that bad -- I understand him more
easily that I do the lyrics of most rap recordings and I'm a native
speaker and writer of BSE and ASE. Pomepia Cornelia's example earlier
from Detroit is apt: I didn't have the foggiest notion what it meant
without the translation.

We run the risk of creating a permanent gulf between citizens who feel
free to post to the ML and citizens who are intimidated from posting
to the ML when we subject imperfect English to constant scrutiny and
public criticism.

F. Galerius Aurelianus Secundus Fal S.P.D.

Once again another sign of the Apocalypse has come about with me agreeing with Senator Drusus. English is indeed the 21st century equivalent of Greek as the international language. However, it has recently been discussed privately among several citizens (including myself) that we should take advantage of the classicists among our citizens to encourage a new program published on the mainlist.
Instead of the study of Latin being limited to one of the sodalites or individuals using a wide number of sources, perhaps NR should consider a daily (or thrice-weekly) posts of Latin language instruction on the mainlist. This course could be planned and executed by a group of volunteers using a few classic works from the period of 100 BC-100 AD. Everyday a short section of Latin grammar and reading could be put onto the mainlist to improve the overall Romitas of our citizens; much as the Curule Aedile is doing with the calendar and festivals. Within a year, it would enable most of the citizens and socii who follow the main list & the course of instruction assiduously to communicate with each other directly in the language of Rome.
Since many citizens would be learning or re-learning Latin from a common source, it would result in a sort of on-line dialect of Nova Roma. Furthermore, if the Latin is also spoken aloud as one learns it (yes, I do realize that our own macronational dialects will influence this) it will allow personal communication on those occasions when a citizen of America Austrorientalis meets a citizen from Thule but they do not share either spoken English or Swedish.
I pray to Mercurius that this plan meets with the approval of the people of the Republic. Vale.

However, it has recently been discussed privately among several citizens (including myself) that we should take advantage of the classicists among our citizens to encourage a new program published on the mainlist.
Instead of the study of Latin being limited to one of the sodalites or individuals using a wide number of sources, perhaps NR should consider a daily (or thrice-weekly) posts of Latin language instruction on the mainlist. This course could be planned and executed by a group of volunteers using a few classic works from the period of 100 BC-100 AD. Everyday a short section of Latin grammar and reading could be put onto the mainlist to improve the overall Romitas of our citizens; much as the Curule Aedile is doing with the calendar and festivals. Within a year, it would enable most of the citizens and socii who follow the main list & the course of instruction assiduously to communicate with each other directly in the language of Rome.
Since many citizens would be learning or re-learning Latin from a common source, it would result in a sort of on-line dialect of Nova Roma. Furthermore, if the Latin is also spoken aloud as one learns it (yes, I do realize that our own macronational dialects will influence this) it will allow personal communication on those occasions when a citizen of America Austrorientalis meets a citizen from Thule but they do not share either spoken English or Swedish.
I pray to Mercurius that this plan meets with the approval of the people of the Republic. Vale.

Salve Tiberius Galerius

First, I for one really appreciate your continuing
efforts to find an acceptable Citizenship ring.

It is a very nice ring, but it is also very expensive.
It also looks to be a bit large for a female hand.

Also, were not the Citizenship rings in antiquity just
a simple iron band? Something more on the lines of a
band with perhaps a space for "S.P.Q.R." would be more
like the original. Also there should be one 'model' that
is done in a less expensive medium, such as the so-called
"German Silver", which is an alloy of silver and nickel
(a lot of Western belt buckles are made of this alloy and
they look almost as good as Sterling at less than half the
price).

Yes it is a bit "heavy" for a female hand so I will ask about one for females that is somewhat downsized.
And yes the Romans rings were a simple iron band and we will try to fine a composite material to make some of the rings less expensive . Having said that, It needs to be remembered that we are 28th century Nova Romans and not re-enactors although some citizens do re-enact. This would be a distinctive Nova Roma citizenship Ring.

As yesterday was my second anniversary of citizenship I can't wait for us to get and adopt OUR ring.

Thanks for reminding me of the female aspect of the ring. I should have thought of it myself but didn't

Vale
