Salvete Quirites,

In more sad news of the day, Gnaeus Salix Galicius writes:

> Citizens of Nova Roma, thanks for your support in this hard day.

You're welcome, dear Galici. Would you please pass along our deepest
condolences to all the citizens of Hispania?

Valete,

G. Iulius Scaurus S. P. D.

Salvete, Quirites.

For those who may be concerned, consul Cn. Salix Astur is safe,
although he narrowly missed the attack at the Atocha station in Madrid
where he was scheduled to meet with someone from work, fortunately
later than the attack occurred. I have just received an email from him.

During the reign of Vespasian there was a revolt of the Vascones
(Basques) who had been allies of the Romans. Vespasian is reported to
have observed that the only way to deal effectively with such
treachery was to crucify them all, but later concluded it would not be
worth the effort. It is perhaps not a PC sentiment, but I am
sufficiently outraged at this monstrous attack to wonder if Vespasian
wasn't perhaps wrong in the conclusion he reached.

Valete.

I've just heard of the terrible acts of murder in Hispania. I pray that those who are able will recover and those who have perished will be avenged.

It seems that those horrible Al Queada are claiming responsibility. Cowards, attacking innocent people on their way to work. May they receive the same mercy they show... Words cannot express my sorrow, and anger.

I pray for our Spanish friends and their families.

Valete

G. Iulius Scaurus S. P. D.

Salve, Quirites.

Below you will find the edictum outlining the rules for the Ludi
Circenses presented by the Aediles Curules this year. Whether the
ludi offered by the Aediles Plebei will operate under the same rules
has not yet been fully decided. There are a few changes this year.
Serious sanctions have been instituted for those caught engaging in
dirty actions and faux-sesterces, which can be spent to support or
defend against dirty actions, have been created (it will also be
possible to obtain such faux-sesterces through participation in
munera). My colleague, M. Iulius, and I have made these changes in
response to suggestions from numerous citizens who participated in the
ludi circenses last year and we hope they will enhance the enjoyment
of the circenses by all.

The first Ludi Circenses of the year will begin with those of the
Quinquatria on ante diem XII Kalendae Aprilis (March 21). Because of
the lateness of the promulgation of this edictum, subscriptions for
the Ludi Circenses of the quinquatria will be accepted until 12:01 AM,
Roman time, on ante diem XVII Kalendae Aprilis (March 16).

Valete.

G. Iulius Scaurus
Aedilis Curulis

EDICTUM AEDILICIUM DE RATIONE LUDORUM CIRCENSUM

I. Any Nova Roman citizen or socius who is not under Aedilician
sanction may take part in the Ludi Circenses organised by the Aediles
Curules. Each citizen may enter no more than one chariot per ludi.

II. An entrant who wishes to participate in the Ludi Circenses must
send a subscription to D. Octavia Aventina at sacerdosveneris@...
no less than one week prior to the commencement of the ludi. Each
subscription must bear the subject header "Ludi Circenses" and include
the following information:

A. His/her name in Nova Roma;

B. The name of his/her driver;

C. The name of his/her chariot;

D. His/her tactics for the Quarter and Semifinals;

E. His/her tactics for the Finals;

F. The name of his/her "factio" or team (Albata, Praesina, Russata,
or Veneta);

G. Dirty actions against another factio in a specific round
(quarter-final, semi-final, or final) and amount of sesterces paid in
support of it (an entrant does not have to pay sesterces to commission
a dirty action, but doing so increases the chances of success);

H. Defence against dirty actions in a specific round (quarter-final,
semi-final, or final) and amount of sesterces paid in support of it
(an entrant does not have to pay sesterces to defend against a dirty
action, but doing so decreases the chances of success of the dirty
action);

I. If sesterces from multiple entrants are pooled to take a dirty
action or defend against a dirty action, the subscription of each
entrant of the pool must so indicate.

III. Tactics: Four (4) race tactics are possible:

A. To hurry in the last laps

B. To pass the curves closely the "spina" of the circus.

C. To support a constant pace

D. To lash the rivals

E. To push the rivals to the wall of the circus

F. To hurry in the straight lines

IV. Dirty actions.

A. An entrant can try the assassination of the driver of a rival
factio or the sabotage of his/her chariot.

1. Assassination of the driver of a rival factio. The entrant must
specify which factio he/she attacks. The base chance of success is 30
%. If the attempt fails it is is discovered and the name of the
entrant who commissioned the assassination and those who contributed
sesterces in support of the assassination will be announced and
subject to disciplinary action by the Aediles Curules. Such
disciplinary action may include disqualification from the current
ludi, banning from future ludi for a specified period of time, or
banning from participation in the ludi for the remainder of the year.
The decision of the Aediles Curules in such matters is final. If the
attempt is successful, the player with the murdered driver cannot take
part in the race and the murderer remains undiscovered.

2. Sabotage of a chariot. The entrant must specify which factio
he/she attacks. The base chance is 45 %. If the attempt is
unsuccessful, it is discovered and the name of the entrant who
commissioned the assassination and those who contributed sesterces in
support of the sabotage will be announced and subject to disciplinary
action by the Aediles Curules. Such disciplinary action may include
disqualification from the current ludi, banning from future ludi for a
specified period of time, or banning from participation in the ludi
for the remainder of the year. The decision of the Aediles Curules in
such matters is final. If the attempt is successful, the player with
the broken chariot will have an accident in the race.

B. Defence against and support for dirty actions. Each entrant shall
receive one hundred sesterces for each ludi. These sesterces may be
used in any round of any race, accumulated from race to race, or
accumulated from other entertainments (e.g., official-sponsored
wagering on munera). These sesterces are not redeemable in Nova Roman
or any other currency and may not be used outside the ways specified
in this edictum. The Aediles Curules shall record the number of
sesterces held and expended by each entrant and their computations
shall be final and unappealable. The sesterces may be expended in any
of the following ways:

1. Application of one hundred sesterces by any entrant to defence of
his/her driver and chariot will render the driver and chariot immune
for one round in the ludi;

2. Entrants from the same factio may pool their sesterces for defence
in a round; for every one hundred sesterces pooled, the chance of
success of a dirty action against that factio is reduced by 5% in that
round.

3. Entrants may pool their sesterces for offence in a round; for
every one hundred sesterces pooled, the chance of success of a dirty
action against the targeted factio is increased by 5% in that round.

V. Organisation of Competition.

A. There will be three rounds to each competition: quarter,
semi-finals, and final.

B. The competition will be for elimination in each round. Every race
will involve no more than four entrants.

C. In the Quarter rounds there will be one entrant from each factio
in each race, unless there are too few entrants from a factio to make
this possible. The first two first place entrants shall advance to
the semi-final round; the remaining two entrants will be eliminated.

D. In the Semifinal round the winners of the Quarter rounds shall
compete. The winning entrants of the Semi-final rounds shall advance
to the final.

E. In the Final round the four best players race; the first place
entrant shall be the winner of the ludi.

VI. Computation of victory.

A. Accidents.

1. Before doing the calculations of a race, the Aediles Curules
determine who has an accident. For it, they roll one dice 0-100 for
every chariot. The resultant number will be its percentage of accident:

- The drivers with tactics 1 will have 0 to 15 percentage of accident
always. 0 to 25 if there are one or more drivers with tactics 4 or 5.

- The drivers with tactics 2 will have 0 to 20 percentage of accident
always. 0 to 35 if there are one or more drivers with tactics 4 or 5.

- The drivers with tactics 3 will have 0 to 10 percentage always.

- The drivers with tactics 4 will have 0 to 15 percentage always. 0 to
25 if there are other drivers with tactics 4.

- The drivers with tactics 5 will have 0 to 15 always. 0 to 25 if
there are other drivers with tactics 5.

- The drivers with tactics 6 will have 0 to 5 percentage always. 0 to
20 if there are other drivers with tactics 4 or 5.

B. Calculation of the races.

1. The Aediles Curules shall determine whether any dirty actions are
successful. If a dirty action is determined to be successful, a
chariot shall be eliminated by lot from among the entrants of the
targeted factio and either declare the driver assassinated or that an
accident caused by sabotage has occurred.

2. After determining which chariots (if any) have been eliminated
from a race due to an accident, the Aediles Curules must calculate the
order in which the remaining teams finished the race.

3. The Aediles Curules will roll one die 0-10 for every entrant. This
will be the Value of Race (VR) of every car.

4. To know the final position of a chariot in the race the VR of
every player is divided by the sum of all the VR and the result is
multiplied by 50. This ewstablishes each entrant's Chance to Win (CW).
For example, if there is a race with 4 chariots with these VR: 6,5,4,2
then the first chariot, with the VR 6, would have the following Chance
to to Win: 6/17 (17 is the sum of 6+5+4+2) x 50 = 17.6 (rounding, 18).
The CW of the first chariot will be 18 points. The second chariot,
with VR 5, would have 5/17x50 = 14.7 (rounding, 15), therefore its CW
is 15 points.

5. The tactics modify the CW of the following way:

Tactics 1) +6 points.

Tactics 2) +8 points.

Tactics 3) No points. The tactics 4 and 5 do not affect it.

Tactics 4) +2 points. The tactics 5 do not affect it.

Tactics 5) +2 points. The tactics 4 do not affect it.

Tactics 6) +4 points.

For example, the Aediles Curules assign each entrant a specific range
of numbers out of a series of 100 that is equal to the entrant's
Chance to Win. They assign these team ranges consecutively. In our
sample race, for example, Chariot 1's range (with tactics 2) would be
01 through 25 (18+7). Chariot 2's range (with tactics 4) would be 26
through 40.

6. In the final step the Aediles Curules will roll a die 0-100 to
determine the order of finish. The chariot within whose range the
first dice 0-100 roll falls is the team that finishes the race in
first place. The chariot within whose range the second dice 0-100 roll
falls is the team that finishes the race in second place. The chariot
within whose range the third D100 roll falls is the chariot that
finishes the race in third place, and so on. Once a chariot's position
has been determined, subsequent rolls that fall within its range are
ignored and the Aediles Curules roll again.

VII. Automatic computation of results by computer in accordance with
the rules established herein is permitted.

VIII. This edictum takes effect immediately.

Given on ante diem V Idus Martii in the consulship of Cn. Salix Astur
and Gn. Equitius Marinus.

Salvete Quirites;
to all those Spanish-speaking cives and Latin ones too, please
post your condolences on the NRHispania list, it means a lot to the
Hispani to know they are in our thoughts and prayers, my
paterfamilias and gens mate are from Hispania and I made sure they
knew the Hiberni are one with them in their sorrow.
Also I have posted a historical prayer in English and Latin at the
Religio site asking for the protection of Magna Mater, the
protectress of Roma and all Romani. Amazingly there is a plaza de
Cibleles in Madrid with a Renaissance statue of Cyblele in her car
attended by lions. you can see it here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybele
valete Sep. Fabia Vera Fausta,

Salvete,

Disgust, outrage, sadness, worry; just some several thoughts went
through my mind as I learned the news of the horror coming from
Madrid. I don't think there are enough words in any language to
describe my feelings about this latest terrorist attack.

Nova Romans of Hispania please accept my condolences and and outrage
over the most vile and disgusting act of terrorism against your people.

Valete,

Q. Cassius Calvus

Cn. Salix Astur Quiritibus S.P.D.

First of all, let me please thank you, in the name of the citizens of
Nova Roma who reside in the area of Madrid, and in the name of all
Madrilians, for your words of condolence and support. It has been a
very, very hard day.

You all already know pretty well what happened. A still unidentified
group of lunatics (may the Dii Infernales take them whomever they
are) has placed several bombs in three trains of the Madrilian
metropolitan transport system and has made them explode in the middle
of the rush hour, when those trains were full of people commuting to
work. Their objective was to destroy the main railway station of
Madrid (Atocha station), that probably held over 5,000 people at the
time. Luckily (if such an expression can be applied to such an
unfortunate event), they have failed. But the damage they have
managed to inflict has still been staggering.

Apparently, the citizens of Nova Roma in Madrid have not been injured
(although some came pretty close, like myself, who only missed the
attack for less than an hour). But some have lost friends to the
foolish dreams of a bunch of fanatics. My heart is with them and
their relatives.

The best thing of the day has been the response of the citizens of
Madrid to the tragedy. Not only have most people kept their calm and
have not succumbed to the terror that was the ultimate goal of the
inhuman beasts that perpetrated this crime, but they have shown huge
amounts of courage, strength and solidarity. Health services have had
to announce on TV that no more blood was needed and that no more
volunteers were necessary after the tens of thousands that presented
themselves in the volunteer points covered all the needs of the day.
Taxi drivers have given free rides to the relatives of the victims to
the hospitals. Hotels have offered 4,000 free beds for the relatives
of the victims that have to come from outside Madrid. Restaurants
have prepared free meals for the volunteers in the rescue and health
efforts. Today I feel proud of my neighbours.

As the night closes over pain-striken Madrid, I can only hope that
tomorrow will be a better day. Thank you very much for your kind
words. May the Dii Immortales protect us all.

Salvete Quirites in Hispania Provincia!

Coming home late I learnt about the terrible terror attack today in
Madrid. It seems as if the the terrorists were from Al Quida.

I strongly dissociate myself from such foul deeds and stand by the
Spanish people. I ask our citizens in Hispania Provincia to accept
the Condolences from myself and Thule Provincia!

Omnibus salutem dicit Ambrosius Celetrus,

My heartfelt condolences are extended to my brethren in Spain. If, as
has been suggested, these murders were not committed by
ETA but by Al Q'aida, then I grieve especially as an American that
the loyal support our Spanish allies have given us in Iraq has
brought this crime upon them. Regardless of who is responsible for
this cowardly act, though, my prayers go out to the innocent.
Deus misereatur,

Aulus

Salve Equiti Marine,

Thank you for your response. One of these days, I really must wade
through Polybius, but I can see his intent from what you quoted
and even more so from:

"[Histories 1:5] For who is so worthless or indolent as not to wish to know by
what means and under what system of polity the Romans in less
than fifty-three years have succeeded in subjecting nearly the whole
inhabited world to their sole government - a thing unique in
history?"

Cannae took place in the 140th Olympiad's first year, and what better
example of Roman uniqueness than their refusal to surrender
after such an appalling defeat? Thank you for bringing Polybius'
motives to light.

Vale,

Ambrosius Celetrus

Salve Scaure!

The monstrous attacks in one of the heartlands of Romance civilisation comes as a shock. No people on this earth should be exposed to this kind of barbaric violance. I hereby offer my conoleances to the people and government of the people of Spain/Hispania.

But even in this dark moment, in wich the grief is overwelming, I do ask the Senate, Government and People of Nova Roma to remind themselves that the terrorist lot of ETA are not the Basque people. The Basque people are not to be blamed for this act of barbarism, in stead ETA is.
ETA is loathed by about 89% of the Basques, and I am certain that all civilized Basques will strongly condemn this attack.

Let us not look upon the Basques to fierce an eye(as Shakespeare would have said), for most of this people simply want to remain Spanish and live their lives peacefully.

I conclude with the wish of wisdom and strength to our Government, and I say a prayer for the dead, may Mercurius lead them to eternal peace in the World below. May they enjoy the Pax Deorum

Ave!

Dear fellow citizens, I am shocked an grieve struck by todays barbaric events in Hispania. I think this the most horrendous crime against humanity since 9/11 and the attacks in Casablanca and Riaadh.
May the Furiae punish these vile criminals in the Tartarus.

I would like to offer my prayers and heartfelt condolences to the
citizens of Hispania and the EU for their terrible loss today. I pray to
the Gods that the monsters responsible for this terrible crime against
civilization are brought swiftly to justice. When the authorities
ultimately root these criminals out of whatever dark holes they are

receive the justice they so richly deserve all that much sooner.

Salvete, Quirites.

I apologise to any who were offended by my remark on Vespasian and the
Vascones. It was occasioned by the coincidence of outrage at the
bombings in Madrid and my having read the Vespasian remark in a early
Byzantine historian while looking for another Flavian anecdote in the
same source just moments before I learned of the Madrid attacks.

A very, very difficult choice. Gaius Popilius Laenas has demonstrated
an ability to overcome personal difficulty and return to active performance
of duty, completing his term of office after having felt compelled to resign
early due to personal issues.



Were it not for the presence of another, more active and qualified
candidate, there would be no question of continuing him in office. However,
there is such a candidate, and I think that candidate is best prepared to
take on the governance of his province at this time. Would that we had such
problems in all of our provinciae.

While Popilius resigned, we all go through crisis that seems over

happened with Gaius Popilius. Upon his return he went through the proper
channels for reinstatement. Let him be reinstated.

I have spoken at length with the gentleman regarding his past history,
and I believe that he has determined to put his total availableeffort into
the task at hand, and he certainly seems to me to understand the extent of
what he has undetaken to do.



I can well understand his resignation under the pressure of the past
situation on this list, and his coming back, admitting his mistake, and
asing for a second chance, I believe indicates a determination to do the
best job of which he is acapable.



This of course does not disqualify his opponent in my consideration,
but merely that I know more about Master Laenas, and that I am convinced
that he wil do a much better job than with his first try, as there is now
more at stake in the task for his personal pride.

Salvete, People of Medatlantica! Merlinia Ambrosia Artori, Legata of
Nova Caesaria, Med., sends Tidings of Consul Gn.Equitius Marinus'
Visit to our area!

I have been looking for some interesting places here in NC(N.J.) and
this is what I've come up with.

If we want to go to a really interesting Italian restaurant, the
Bella Notte's Alta Cucina would be memorable. It's in Little Falls,
about 15 mi. north of me here in Maplewood. I was there this past
Thursday night with a group of my husband's co-workers, and it is
astounding.
website is going to be
www.bellanottesaltacucina.com

Up side- it is a tiny Italian piazza, complete with colonnades,
fountain, and beautifully painted night sky. The food is phenomenal.

Down side- priced a la carte, items run $10-$25; expect to drop $50
without drinks. Large center area is open for parties 8+ on M-Th nights,
and Sunday afternoons. During Sat. it is very crowded, but a party can
still be seated,just hard to hear. Togas ok on Sunday only.

As for something to see, we can go to our own Newark Museum, which has a
very nice collection of Roman glass, and from now till May 9 an exhibit
of jewelry from all over the world, from all time periods, called
"Baubles, Bangles, and Bling Bling"
The website is
www.newarkmuseum.org

Itinerary for a Sunday would be- All Meet here by 11am, Museum 12-2:30,
restaurant 3- 6pm or so, and back here by 7pm.
Hanging out here before & after is expected!


Vale for now!
-M.

Salvete,

My heartfelt condolences to the Spanish people for this barbaric act
perpetrated upon them, whether by ETA or as it seems more likely, Al
Quaeda. You are in my prayers. I am relieved that none of our
citizens were hurt or killed and was pleased to see Consul Astur's
post confirming this. All the same, this tragedy affects us all. As
consul Marinus said, today we are all Spanish.

Valete,

Palladius

Salvete,

I have hardly had my computer on during the last week due to the
arrival of the newest Palladius but I just wanted to thank all who
sent congratulations, both onlist and off. I will try to respond to
each of you personally as time permits but for the next week or so I
won't be online much. Again, thank you from me and my family.

Valete,

Palladius

Salvete omnes.

First of all, thank you all for your condolences. We, the people
of Madrid and of the whole Spain, are grateful for your kind
words and support.

Secondly, I wish to state that the Basque people are not the
same thing than the terrorist group ETA. There are a vast
majority (almost the 90%) of Basques that are a noble, honest
and peaceful people, redardless of their political or national
feelings.

The Kingdom of Spain is a democratic country within the European
Union. With Democracy, Freedom and Righteousness as our weapons,
we will defeat terrorism.

send a notice to the mailing list when I do.

Thanks for posting this; and again I'm pleased to note

Also congratulations to all the governors who were

I would like to publicly thank the 15 Senators who voted me in as Propraetor of Gallia! I'll be
drinking a toast this evening wishing you all the best of luck, good health and happiness :-).

In light of my new position, in May I'll be busy promoting Nova Roma Gallia at the PF

Salvete Quirites,

As the new propraetors begin to post their oaths of office, I remind
them that this newer Latin translation of the oath was posted back in
January by my colleague, Consul Salix Astur. Please, if you're going
to swear your oath in Latin, use this version.

Valete,

-- Marinus

--- In Nova-Roma@yahoogroups.com, Gnaeus Salix Astur <salixastur@y...>
wrote:
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

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

Citizens of Nova Roma;

This is just a reminder to those who have committed to writing an
article(s) or would simply like to write one for the "Eagle," that the
submision date for the articles to "Eagle" is prior to the 20th of
March, and to the 20th of each month after March through December.

For those who may be interested in writing an rticle for "Eagle" here
are some of the parameters for an article:

--It can literally be of any size. If it is to big for one issue then
we will simply serialize it at a point that you select. Failing that, I
will select a point of division;

--It can be in any format but if possible I would like to see it in
plain text or (JPG)?? so that I might read it before publishing
(Grin!!!);

--Send your submissions to the below E-Mail address:

jmath669642reng@...

Since I have arranged a kind of complicated publishing process, if you
send submissons elsewhere, they may get lost;

--If you have any questions regarding "eagle" or the policies this year
governing "Eagle" then do not hesitate to ask.

--It can be about literally anything of interest within Nova Roma.
However, arguing a given side of a poitical question in "Eagle" is I
believe, futile because it is a month between issues, and I will hold ny
such article until I can post something bothsides of the question.

--I would ncourage all to consider writing something rgarding your
special interest in Roman Culture, a favorite person or persons, chariot
racing, military events, artisan skills, archaelogical discoveries,
agriculture, art. architecture, sea trade, land routes, colonization ,
etc.

Remember that "Eagle" is your publication, and it should not be left to
one person to select articles for "Eagle" as it tends to result in the
publication being slanted to his / her interests. I look forward to
your inputs. (-: (-: (-: (-:

Respectfully;

Marcus Minucius-Tiberius Audens -- Curator Differum -- "Eagle"


Wishing you all the best, with Fair Winds and Following Seas!!!

AVETE OMNES

I wish to thank the Senate for trusting me and for appointing me
Governor Provinciae Italiae.
I also thank all those who are sending their congratulations, and
say ***congratulation*** to all of the prorogued and newly elected
Governors.
Still, after what recently happened in Hispania I really can not be
happy today. I feel very close to our fratres hispanici.

Propraetor Italiae

Salvete S. Fabia Vera Fausta et Omnes:

(actual oath snipped for brevity)

I wish to express my sincere congratulations to you, Fabia Vera on the
Senate's appointment of you as Propraetor Hibernia.

I do believe a wise decision was made, and if I may be so bold as to
say, I think you would make a fine consul someday. You are virtuous,
sincere in your aims, intelligent, and you extend the fairness of
genuine impartiality that is the hallmark of a naturally good leader.
Further, your patronii are Roman virtue and truth, and nothing or
nobody else.

I am sure you will make this geographical portion of Nova Roma grow
fervently, and in so doing, you will naturally add gravity to the
growth of the res publica herself.

Ave Propraetrix!

Pompeia

Salvete Serapio et Omnes:

(oath snipped for brevity)

Congratulations Serapio on your appointment as Propraetor Italia!

I am sure you will do well. You will have access to much august
advice, from both your predecessor, F. Apulus Caesar, Tribunis et
Senator and many intelligent and experienced citizens within Italia.
I urge you to entertain their wisdom, in the evaluation of your
decisions with respect to the provincia, and from this, you will learn
much, and bring an even stronger Provincia to be lauded within the res
publica.

There are many offering 'advice' and there are few offering 'wisdom'.

Valete
Pompeia

Salvete Propraetor Didius et Omnes:

(oath snipped for brevity)

Many congratulations on your recent appointment.

What can I say? Your actions of hard work and dedication speak for
themselves in a much louder voice that I could ever begin to
duplicate. I am truly proud of you.

In amicitia,
Pompeia

avete omnes,

I wish to congratulate all the new Governors of our Provinciae.

Among the others, my special greetings to three of them:
- Diana Octavia Aventina, as Quaestor, with whom I'm cooperating this
year for the Magna Mater Project
- Fabia Vera Fausta, also working with us at the same MM project
- Manius Constantinus Serapio, same as above, fellow country man and
new Propraetor Italiae.

Salvete all,

I was checking to see if Lucius Rutilius Minervalis was still qualified to be a Provinicial Scriba or be appointed Legate since he did not (yet) pay his taxes this year. I see below that there is no problem.

LEX VEDIA DE ASSIDUI ET CAPITI CENSI says
C. No member of the capiti censi may run for or hold office as one of the ordinarii (including the apparitores), nor be appointed to or hold office as provincial governor. Members of the capiti censi may hold provincial or local offices at the discretion of the governor of the province in question.

BUT: it *is* a requirement of all Provincial Governors to be Assidui before they are appointed Governor. Fabia Vera Fausta is still Capite Censis although she has mentioned publicly here that she mailed in her payment to NR a while ago and I believe her. In all likelihood, her payment is either lost or still sitting on someone's desk waiting to be processed. Given that, her appointment should have been postponed until this payment is found and processed.

My former gensmate Laureatus Moravius wanted to run for office in Nov and was told that he couldn't because he had not paid his taxes. He would not even qualify to run had he the payment that day (which I would have been happy to do for him). So shouldn't the same strictness of the law apply to everyone? The Senate should follow the laws that they swear by and ensure that all applicants for Governor fill the requirements *when* they apply and not sometime after they are appointed into that office. We do have laws in place voted in by our citizenship and if they are not followed up on, then I don't see why we have them in the first place.

Valete,
Diana Octavia

Salvete all,

Here is my plan for giving life to Provincia Gallia, which was part of my application to the Senate.
Some of them were part of my 'little things' to do discussion during the election for consul.

Any of the new Governors are free to use my ideas if they'd like :-)

My action plan to make Gallia a living and breathing province are as follows:

1) Translating of our NR brochures into Dutch & French.
2) A website in 3 languages (Dutch, French and English)
3) Eventually 2 Gallian chat groups (one for each language). The NR_Gallia list should remain the
list where
all Gallian citizens can be in contact with eachother in English.
4) Putting simple NR Brochures in various libraries, museums, bookstores and universities which will
direct them to the Gallia website and the NR mainsite.
5) Bimonthly gatherings- I would personally hostess the gatherings in Belgium and Holland. Someone
needs to be recruited from France to do the same.
6) A small quarterly newsletter (online) in a mix of English, Dutch and French letting citizens know
about archeological sites, museum exhibits, new books or news that is of Roman interest. The main
purpose of the newsletter is to make a feeling of community within the Province and to make people
realize that their Governor *and* Nova Roma remembers that they exist, even if they are rather quiet
citizens. Citizens will be encouraged to write articles in their own language.
7) Contacting and meeting the organizers of the 5 main Roman Weekends and the 2 permanent Roman
re-enactment sites that take place/are in Belgium & Holland in order to form strong bonds with
reenactment groups, the Gallo-Roman Bookstore, Roman jewelry craftsman, cooks, etc. (Someone needs
to be recruited from France to do the same there).
8) Attending Pagan gatherings and other cultural meetings in order to promote Nova Roma. Two are
already in my agenda.

My target is to have this all in motion within 3 months.

Valete,
Diana Octavia Aventina

No, she's Assudui.

Receipt of her payment was confirmed to me by the Quaestors. The

All is at it should be then. My apologies for believing that the Senate had forgotten to check if everyone was qualified.

So shouldn't the same strictness of the law apply to everyone?

Salve Diana Octavia;
I paid my taxes on Feb. 13 and sent the letter insured and
registered so it is not a matter of belief, as a good lawyer I have
the evidence;)
Seeing that my status was not changed to Assidui I wrote to our
Censor and then Caius Curius Saturninus (Feb 29th) and I do have the
dated emails enquiring into the matter.

Seeing as I am trying to organize a new Provincia I am very conscious
of being a good example for Nova Roma, so please don't make
assumptions & impugn the reputation of the Senate before acertaining
the facts.

FYI: you are a Propraetrix, unless you've had
a sex change.

---Salvete S. Fabia Vera et Omnes:

Credit where credit is due here, lol!

But you gotta admit, a very resourceful attempt to depose you of
office, before you've even sat in your gubernatorial chair, lol!

Pity that one destroys one's own dignatis in the attempt to smear
anothers, but that is a matter of personal choice I guess. A fellow
governor's qualifications, or disqualifications, should really be
issues elevated for discussion in private, but that is also a matter
of social taste and personal choice.

G. Iulius Scaurus S.P. D.

Salvete, Quirites.

The first Ludi Circenses of the year will begin with those of the
Quinquatria on ante diem XII Kalendae Aprilis (March 21). Because of
the lateness of the promulgation of the edictum, subscriptions for
the Ludi Circenses of the quinquatria will be accepted until 12:01 AM,
Roman time, on ante diem XVII Kalendae Aprilis (March 16).

An entrant who wishes to participate in the Ludi Circenses must
send a subscription to D. Octavia Aventina at sacerdosveneris@...
no less than one week prior to the commencement of the ludi. Each
subscription must bear the subject header "Ludi Circenses" and include
the following information:

A. His/her name in Nova Roma;

B. The name of his/her driver;

C. The name of his/her chariot;

D. His/her tactics for the Quarter and Semifinals;

E. His/her tactics for the Finals;

F. The name of his/her "factio" or team (Albata, Praesina, Russata,
or Veneta);

G. Dirty actions against another factio in a specific round
(quarter-final, semi-final, or final) and amount of sesterces paid in
support of it (an entrant does not have to pay sesterces to commission
a dirty action, but doing so increases the chances of success);

H. Defence against dirty actions in a specific round (quarter-final,
semi-final, or final) and amount of sesterces paid in support of it
(an entrant does not have to pay sesterces to defend against a dirty
action, but doing so decreases the chances of success of the dirty
action);

I. If sesterces from multiple entrants are pooled to take a dirty
action or defend against a dirty action, the subscription of each
entrant of the pool must so indicate.

_________________________________________

Four (4) race tactics are possible:

A. To hurry in the last laps

B. To pass the curves closely the "spina" of the circus.

C. To support a constant pace

D. To lash the rivals

E. To push the rivals to the wall of the circus

F. To hurry in the straight lines

Entrants may also engage in dirty actions:

A. An entrant can try the assassination of the driver of a rival
factio or the sabotage of his/her chariot.

1. Assassination of the driver of a rival factio. The entrant must
specify which factio he/she attacks. The base chance of success is 30
%. If the attempt fails it is is discovered and the name of the
entrant who commissioned the assassination and those who contributed
sesterces in support of the assassination will be announced and
subject to disciplinary action by the Aediles Curules. Such
disciplinary action may include disqualification from the current
ludi, banning from future ludi for a specified period of time, or
banning from participation in the ludi for the remainder of the year.
The decision of the Aediles Curules in such matters is final. If the
attempt is successful, the player with the murdered driver cannot take
part in the race and the murderer remains undiscovered.

2. Sabotage of a chariot. The entrant must specify which factio
he/she attacks. The base chance is 45 %. If the attempt is
unsuccessful, it is discovered and the name of the entrant who
commissioned the assassination and those who contributed sesterces in
support of the sabotage will be announced and subject to disciplinary
action by the Aediles Curules. Such disciplinary action may include
disqualification from the current ludi, banning from future ludi for a
specified period of time, or banning from participation in the ludi
for the remainder of the year. The decision of the Aediles Curules in
such matters is final. If the attempt is successful, the player with
the broken chariot will have an accident in the race.

B. Defence against and support for dirty actions. Each entrant shall
receive one hundred sesterces for each ludi. These sesterces may be
used in any round of any race, accumulated from race to race, or
accumulated from other entertainments (e.g., official-sponsored
wagering on munera). These sesterces are not redeemable in Nova Roman
or any other currency and may not be used outside the ways specified
in this edictum. The Aediles Curules shall record the number of
sesterces held and expended by each entrant and their computations
shall be final and unappealable. The sesterces may be expended in any
of the following ways:

1. Application of one hundred sesterces by any entrant to defence of
his/her driver and chariot will render the driver and chariot immune
for one round in the ludi;

2. Entrants from the same factio may pool their sesterces for defence
in a round; for every one hundred sesterces pooled, the chance of
success of a dirty action against that factio is reduced by 5% in that
round.

3. Entrants may pool their sesterces for offence in a round; for
every one hundred sesterces pooled, the chance of success of a dirty
action against the targeted factio is increased by 5% in that round.

The full rules for the Ludi Circenses may be found in the edictum
listed below.

Valete.

V. Organisation of Competition.

A. There will be three rounds to each competition: quarter,
semi-finals, and final.

B. The competition will be for elimination in each round. Every race
will involve no more than four entrants.

C. In the Quarter rounds there will be one entrant from each factio
in each race, unless there are too few entrants from a factio to make
this possible. The first two first place entrants shall advance to
the semi-final round; the remaining two entrants will be eliminated.

D. In the Semifinal round the winners of the Quarter rounds shall
compete. The winning entrants of the Semi-final rounds shall advance
to the final.

E. In the Final round the four best players race; the first place
entrant shall be the winner of the ludi.

VI. Computation of victory.

A. Accidents.

1. Before doing the calculations of a race, the Aediles Curules
determine who has an accident. For it, they roll one dice 0-100 for
every chariot. The resultant number will be its percentage of accident:

- The drivers with tactics 1 will have 0 to 15 percentage of accident
always. 0 to 25 if there are one or more drivers with tactics 4 or 5.

- The drivers with tactics 2 will have 0 to 20 percentage of accident
always. 0 to 35 if there are one or more drivers with tactics 4 or 5.

- The drivers with tactics 3 will have 0 to 10 percentage always.

- The drivers with tactics 4 will have 0 to 15 percentage always. 0 to
25 if there are other drivers with tactics 4.

- The drivers with tactics 5 will have 0 to 15 always. 0 to 25 if
there are other drivers with tactics 5.

- The drivers with tactics 6 will have 0 to 5 percentage always. 0 to
20 if there are other drivers with tactics 4 or 5.

B. Calculation of the races.

1. The Aediles Curules shall determine whether any dirty actions are
successful. If a dirty action is determined to be successful, a
chariot shall be eliminated by lot from among the entrants of the
targeted factio and either declare the driver assassinated or that an
accident caused by sabotage has occurred.

2. After determining which chariots (if any) have been eliminated
from a race due to an accident, the Aediles Curules must calculate the
order in which the remaining teams finished the race.

3. The Aediles Curules will roll one die 0-10 for every entrant. This
will be the Value of Race (VR) of every car.

4. To know the final position of a chariot in the race the VR of
every player is divided by the sum of all the VR and the result is
multiplied by 50. This ewstablishes each entrant's Chance to Win (CW).
For example, if there is a race with 4 chariots with these VR: 6,5,4,2
then the first chariot, with the VR 6, would have the following Chance
to to Win: 6/17 (17 is the sum of 6+5+4+2) x 50 = 17.6 (rounding, 18).
The CW of the first chariot will be 18 points. The second chariot,
with VR 5, would have 5/17x50 = 14.7 (rounding, 15), therefore its CW
is 15 points.

5. The tactics modify the CW of the following way:

Tactics 1) +6 points.

Tactics 2) +8 points.

Tactics 3) No points. The tactics 4 and 5 do not affect it.

Tactics 4) +2 points. The tactics 5 do not affect it.

Tactics 5) +2 points. The tactics 4 do not affect it.

Tactics 6) +4 points.

For example, the Aediles Curules assign each entrant a specific range
of numbers out of a series of 100 that is equal to the entrant's
Chance to Win. They assign these team ranges consecutively. In our
sample race, for example, Chariot 1's range (with tactics 2) would be
01 through 25 (18+7). Chariot 2's range (with tactics 4) would be 26
through 40.

6. In the final step the Aediles Curules will roll a die 0-100 to
determine the order of finish. The chariot within whose range the
first dice 0-100 roll falls is the team that finishes the race in
first place. The chariot within whose range the second dice 0-100 roll
falls is the team that finishes the race in second place. The chariot
within whose range the third D100 roll falls is the chariot that
finishes the race in third place, and so on. Once a chariot's position
has been determined, subsequent rolls that fall within its range are
ignored and the Aediles Curules roll again.

VII. Automatic computation of results by computer in accordance with
the rules established herein is permitted.

VIII. This edictum takes effect immediately.

Given on ante diem V Idus Martii in the consulship of Cn. Salix Astur
and Gn. Equitius Marinus.
