Avete Omnes,

In the past couple of days, I have been in communication with soon to be citizen Lucius Modius Kaelius. He has some very good ideas and the one idea that we have been discussing recently is the development of a Sodalitas with the focus on education. Our discussion has focused on those citizens who are home schooling parents and students who are in a home schooling environement. In other words, this would focus on students who would be in the age range of 4 years of age til 18 (in the United States this would translate K-12). Initially the focus of this group would be to develop lesson plans to assist teachers, a venue to offer tutors to students, a place to discuss educational theories and subjects taught by the ancients and discuss ways to integrate those methods and subects in today's modern integrated subjects.

The long term goal of this potential sodalitas would be to create the foundation of a charter school. Since under no child left behind the ability to create and operate charter schools are being promoted this venue is something that can be achieved with hard work and dedication.

This is the greatest understatement I have ever seen on this list.
While you have been silent on this list for the last few months
(since the first campaign for praetor, surprise surprise), in general
over the last two years you have poured more vitriol and venom on
this list than probably the next two offenders combinded--including
Drusus and Maior. Furthermore, you hold a grudge for a long time and
will remind the offending party of it months after the fact like the
event happened yesterday. I frankly do not believe you will treat
people you do not like fairly.

Your opponent on the other hand is always fairminded, has never
insulted anyone on this list or lost his temper here. I challenge
anyone to come up with an example. On the other hand, I have some
pretty horrible examples of times you have gone off on people of all
factions if anyone wants them.

Nonpractitioner yes, but tolerant is not a fair description.

Not true. Surprisingly I agree with you, I don't see you as having
any political stance or philosophy. Your stance is against
personalities you do not like, not for or against any political view.
I have seen you insult people you don't like of all political stripes
quite readily and this tendency has gotten progressively worse over
the last two years. It is your lack of personal objectivity and
readiness to dispense venom for little provocation that I find
disturbing and make you unsuitable for this job. I don't think you'll
be a fair list moderator. Your opponent on the other hand will be
quite fair and eventempered--as he has always been. A vote for Laenas
is a vote for a calm, steady hand on the moderator's button of this
list.

Vale,

Subject: Report, financial procedures in NR
Salvete omnes,

As requested by Consul Gnaeus Salix Astur, I
present this report for everyone to read and I
hope that it will bring up some discussion about
the financial procedures in NR. I apologize the
delay of publishing it, but arrangements of the
NR meeting here in Regio Finnica took my time and
I did not wish to publish this before I would be
able to answer possible questions about it.


Report, Financial Procedures in NR
by Caius Curius Saturninus

Summary:
This report is based on the answers recieved for
questionnaire sent to all elected members of NR
administration of year 2004 and to some former
magistrates. This report summarises the answeres
gotten and proposes some modifications to
financial procedures in NR. This report was done
from request of Consul Gnaeus Salix Astur by
Quaestor Caius Curius Saturninus.

Contents:
1. General Observations
2. Proposed Actions to Be Taken
3. Question by Question summaries


1. General Observations
The questionnaire was sent to 24 persons of which
15 answered. There was about 1,5 months time to
answer. Motivation to do this small research was
from experiences that Consul Astur and Quaestor
Saturninus had in the beginning of the year. The
questionnaire was designed to give practical
ideas and general feedback, about the reforming
of NR financial procedures, through evaluation of
individual experiences of those who answered. As
such it gives opportunity to evaluate need for
small corrections which mostly are in the level
of routines, but which are considerably more
important for carrying out everyday financial
routines. It also gives a chance to probe if
there is need for any larger scale reforms, and
indeed some ideas for those have been also
surfaced.

The answers gave a broad idea about in which
areas there are need for revisions and which
areas are working well. The general feedback was
that there is a room for improvement in the
financial procedures of NR.

The requested changes can be categorised in different ways:

a) Legal aspect
I) Changes that need no laws etc. to be made or changed
II) Changes that need laws etc. to be created or modified

b) Size aspect
I) "Small things"
II) Larger than "Small things"

Most urgently needed changes are in the
subcategory I of a and b aspect. These consist
mostly rationalising the procedures and the
creation of recommended practises to follow, e.g.
creation of handbook or simplyfying ways things
are done. However the changes considered to be in
the subcategory II of both aspects can be
considered to be of vital importance for building
the future financial practises into solid
foundations, and should be considered to be as
urgently needed as proposals in the subcategory I.


2. Proposed Actions to Be Taken
These proposals are just proposals for actions,
not drafts for laws or SC or any such. The
purpose of these proposals is to create
discussion whether or not they are needed and if
they are needed how they should be impelemented.

2.1 More Creditability through Professionalism
Quote from one of the answers: "... more serious,
similar to the financial information one would
expect from any enterprise..." This quote
displays the general consensus amongst the
answers recieved: NR needs clearly defined rules
on financial routines in order to be creditable
organisation both in macronational world as
micronation.

a) Clear Rules for Financial Procedures
Currently there are no rules e.g. who has the
right to access the Quaestors Tool at NR website,
just practise that it is given by webmaster
through application. There is no rules for online
PayPal and bank accounts of NR, who is entitled
to have access to them and who gives that access.
There are no rules to specify when and if the
passwords etc. should be changed for these. There
are no rules exactly when how and by whom money
can be transferred. There are no rules about
reporting etc. of provincial, pontificial
collegium and central treasury money, for example
Consular Quaestor writes quarterly reports, but
has no clear instructions where, when, to who and
how these are to be submitted. There is no device
for knowing how much profit e.g. Macellum brings
to NR, and there has been complaints that
previous budgets have serious errors in them.

All things above and many other details require a
clear, firm set of rules ot be written. Partly
these rules can be only suggestions about
preferred practise included in the de jure
unofficial handbook of Financial Procedures, and
partly they can be rules included into law, SC or
similar.

b) Handbook of Financial Procedures
A simple handbook, even unofficial, would be
tremendous step forward in creating a unified set
of rules and practises which would be the core of
conduct of financial affairs in NR. The handbook
should be open to access by all magistrates and
citizens. Quaestors handbook should be part of NR
Financial procedures handbook.


2.2 Suggestions for Managing Funds
In some of the answers there was suggestions
about managing current funds and ways to avoid
unnecessary costs.

a) Cutting Down Transaction Costs
Tax payments currently have quite large
percentage of money lost in different kinds of
transactions. To cut down these totally
unnecessary costs, there were couple of
suggestions:
I) Euro-PayPal -account
The conversion rate PayPal offers is usually
quite poor, and converting all the recieved
Euro-taxes to USD is in itself unnecessary if NR
could have separate PayPal accounts for Euro and
USD currencies. Conversion from other to other
would be done only when the need would arise.
II) Provincial treasuries
To avoid more transaction costs provincial
treasuries could be created to hold collected
taxes and donations. Obviously this would add to
the workload of Quaestors and require careful
planning. The rationale is that cives paying
their tax (e.g. 10 Euro) needs to pay transaction
costs of about 5-10 Euro for international
money-transfers, or at least PayPal fee and money
lost in PayPal conversion. If there would be 100
citizens paying e.g. 2 Euros each for transaction
costs, that would be 200 Euro lost, which could
be used more efficiently e.g. supporting 4
provincial gatherings by 50 Euro for arranging
Roman Dinner. The money involved is currently
quite small, but as the number of tax payers
increases and need for more live-meetings and
other real world projects increase. The small
sums quickly grow to be substantial sums, and
even symbolic contributions from the NR central
administration would be extremely positive signal
to local gatherings. If the money would be stored
in provincial treasury, there would not be
unncessary transaction costs.

b) Scholarship Fund into Use
NR has one scholarship fund currently. It holds
currently 2700 USD. There is also currently very
active Magna Mater project which includes in its
goals sponsoring of one student to work in Magna
Mater excavations under the supervision of
Italian authorities and University of Rome. The
estimated need for 6 months scholarship is 6000
USD, if the current scholarship fund would be
allocated to this project, it would be almost 50%
of needed amount. NR financies are currently so
small, that it would be realistic to concentrate
to one big real world project and carry it
through succesfully.


2.3 Reforms for Quaestors
The duties of Quaestors seem to be a subject of
most varying kinds of suggestions and there was
clearly expressed wish to have some changes to
the Quaestors duties, even Quastorship in general.

a) Online Records for Quaestors
This year experience of the disappearance of
consular quaestor in charge of tax collection
showed that there is need to build an online
records system of NR financies where new
information is uploaded in steady intervals, and
which the access is granted to e.g. both Consuls
and both Consular Quaestors. The need for clear
online recording system is even more important
should it be granted permission to other
Quaestors as well to have duties in tax
collecting.

b) Tax Collection Workload
The workload of the Consular Quaestors is high
during the tax collection period end at April and
early May. There are two principal ways to ease
it:
I) The Consuls could give edictum about giving
all quaestors the permission to take part tax
collecting duties for certain time period. This
would ease up the workload of two consular
quaestors and also gurantee timely results and
reports of tax collection.
II) If the tax collecting could be provincialised
through provincial quaestors, then most of the
tax collecting duties would be done
provincionally and two consular quaestors only
superwise the process.

c) Separate Bank Accounts
NR currently has several Funds that exist only in
the accounting, to make them more separate and
more easily controllable they should all given
their own bank account. This is particulary true
concerning e.g. Magna Mater Project in which the
Curule Aediles are managing things with their
Quaestors.

d) Quaestors for Governors
Provincial governors are asking Quaestors to be
assigned to them to help them keep the provincial
bank accounts. The need for elected Quaestors to
take care of provincial finances is increased
also if there will be measures taken to cut down
transaction costs by relying more to the
provincial treasuries.


2.4 Reporting
Almost every answer contained complaints about
poor reporting of NR financial affairs. Many
answers contained estimation that average citizen
is very poorly informed, and some magistrates
expressed their thoughts that they themselves
were very inadequatly informed about the NR
financies before their magistrateship. One
particulary often repeated complaint was the poor
availability of financial documents of any kind.

a) Reporting to the Public
Reporting about NR financial affairs to the
public is clearly described to be poor. To
improve this Quaestors should have their own
webpage at the NR website into which financial
information could be uploaded. Currently there
are no rules about who and when should do that
work, and we have had responses last year from
webmaster that there is no time to upload
quarterly reports etc. There is no need to
complicate public reporting by putting the
workload from quaestors to webmaster if it can be
done directly uploading some files by quaestors.
Also there were requests to more detailed
reporting of revenues and expenses of NR.
Reporting through mainlist and announce-list
about the general state of financies as well as
the goals and motivations of financial decisions
were requested.

b) Reporting to the Magistrates
Magistrates are complaining that they have little
information in the begin with and aquiring the
needed information about thier own
responsibilities is put on to the quaestors of
them. Many magistrates complained that they feel
that they lack crucial information to make
decisions in which financial aspect is included.
This clearly discourages to make decisions.

c) Budget Clarified
Obscure budget items and difficulties in reading
the budget file are reported, the budget file
must be easy to understand and must not contain
information that can be mis-interpreted.


3. Question by Question Summaries
At each question there is mentioned the question
itself, some general thoughts about the answers
and some most illustrative quotes from answeres
recieved, anonymiously.

Question 1
"Is there room for improvement in the way you was
informed about the financial aspects of your
office? Please give some examples of which was
good and which was not."

In general, there was consensus that especially
there is room for improvement in creating
standards and rules for work. Informing and
passing along the last years information seemed
to form one of the major concerns.

Quotes from answers:

1) "I think that there is a huge room for improvement."
2) "... a simple handbook explaining what had to
be done step by step could have saved time to
everyone involved."
3) "I'd say that the quality of the information I
received was excellent, but the method might
stand to be improved."
4) "I was given comprehensive information by a
colleague which was excellent. However it must
have taken him ages to type it, so it would be
useful to have a standard file with all the
information in which could be passed down."
5) "The only way I got the information of the
balance of NR was when the news was published on
the main ml; maybe the member of the Central
Government (even who not directly manage money)
should be better informed."
6) "At the moment I'm really confused about some
commercial aspects of Nova Roma."
7) "We need to open a marking office or the like
to sell things on a wider basis that just to each
other."
8) "To date it's very difficult to exactly tell
Quaestores what their financial duties are."
9) "I was not informed at all as to which were
exactly my duties, and which limits I had in
dealing with money."


Question 2
"How well was your Quaestor informed on financial
issues when assuming the duties? Please give some
examples of which was good and which was not."

In general, the need for seek the crucial information dominated the answers.

Quotes from answers:

1) "... basically had to ask over and over again
until things began to get clear."
2) "... everything could have taken less time."
3) "I think that things were a bit haphazard to
begin with, again addressing the problem with
method."
4) "I guess not very well. She had to do the
whole thing on her own, asking to different
people for infomation."
5) "... until NR has larger financial resources
we need to re-think how we use Quaestors. Instead
of assigning them to magistrates who do not have
any financial responsibilities we should have
them assigned to provincial governors to help
manage the provincial bank accounts. Maybe we
should even rewrite the constitution to allow
governors to appoint a Quaestor and not required
an election for the ones serving in the
provinces."


Question 3
"During your term in office, have you been able
to take care of the financial aspects of your
office: a) Easily b) With reasonable amount of
work c) Only with difficulties. Please give some
examples of which was good and which was not."

In general, the answers were like "with reasonable amount of work, but..."

Quotes from answers:

1) "I'd say b, with a reasonable amount of work.
But this has mostly been due to the excellent
support of my Quaestor."
2) "b) - it was fairly straightforward, but the
tax workload was high, especially in April."
3) "c) with a lot of difficulties. I'd say there was nothing good."


Question 4
"As a citizen, how well you feel yourself to be
informed about NR financies: a) Very well b) Well
enough, but I have had to seek out answers c) Not
very well. Please give some examples of which was
good and which was not."

In general, there was wide consensus that
respondents themselves as citizens and their
estimation about average citizen feel themselves
to be inadequately informed.

Quotes from answers:

1) "The entries in the financial balance are not
even explained, and not all of them are
self-explanatory."
2) "I would say b). Sometimes I check the
website and notice that some of the
budgets/forecasts are not available for viewing."
3) "c, not well enough. I think our citizens
don't realize this, but as a provincial governor
I discovered things I think I should have been
told when I came into office."
4) "b) - Before I was elected I had virtually no
knowledge of the finances because I hadn't
encountered them. Also, I had problems viewing
the budget even this year as Yahoo tends to take
the attachments away."
5) "The financial workings of NR are not widely
shared, but then I haven't had too much cause yet
to need that information."
6) "Not very well. I could be wrong, but there is
not any communication during the year, but the
only one about the yearly balance."
7) "c) Not very well. Most citizens have no idea
how little money Nova Roma has. They assume that
we have a lot because they never see anything
posted to the mainlist mentioning how much/little
money we have."


Question 5
"In your term in office were the financial
procedures under which you operated working
properly: a) Yes, everything worked as it should
b) Some things worked, but there were some things
which didn't work c) Most of financial procedures
were flawed or didn't worked as they had been
planned to. Please give some examples of which
was good and which was not."

In general, it was the question of fixing little things.

Quotes from answers:

1) "b, some worked, some had to be fixed."
2) "b) - All would have worked pretty well if my
predecessor had not disappeared in the middle of
her duties and left no records. There should be
some manner for Quaestors to ensure they are
giving their records to their magistrates at
regular intervals so that the minimum possible
information is lost if a Quaestor disappears."
3) "... the Quaestor tool on the website has no
method for changing or deleting flawed records
(eg. if you make a mistake, you can't go back and
change it), and so far as I can tell the computer
has no way of telling whether the amount paid in
taxes is sufficient to qualify for assidui
status, so it is necessary to check manually
every amount less than $12 to ensure it is
correct for that citizen's province."
4) "b: something worked but many things have to be setted."


Question 6
"Tell in your own words what parts of NR
financies are well done, and why. Also tell if
you feel that there is room for improvement and
if you have any proposal/thoughts how it could be
done better."

In general, there was quite a list of criticism
towards current practises and many suggestions
for improvements were presented.

Quotes from answers:

1) "However, it seems that there is no budget for
this year as it is not available for viewing on
the site."
2) "It would be nice for the annual budget to be
accompanied by a message (perhaps from the
consuls?) summarizing any important changes or
choices, e.g. 'this year we have decided to
increase the money for x
because y'. This would make it easier to
understand the ideas behind the way money is
allocated."
3) "... at the moment that money (immobilezed)
could be spent or invested somehow. Maybe this
was already done but I can't see from the 2757
Budget worksheet."
4) "As citizen I know nothing about the budget of NR."
5) "I was quaestor last year, I haven´t seen any numbers."
6) "... the overall suspicion about the taxes."
7) "The collection of taxes are done in an
efficient manner due to the hard work of the
Consular Quaestores. The two Quaestores for the
Curule Aediles have a few minutes of work per
month.We have 4 more Quaestores who are doing
nothing at all. They should be given the task of
making clear spreadsheets outlining NR finances
so that the citizens can be aware of our
financial situation."
8) "A full revision of NR budget is urgent, as we
keep reporting in our budget the mistakes
committed years ago. The longer we wait, the
biggest the problem will be."
9) "... the budget needs to be more detailed."
10) "I can't accept a heading such as "refunding:
x dollars". I need to know why it is exactly x
dollars and not y."

Salve, Gai Modi Athanasi.

The only person mentioned in the edict is Gallus Minucius Tiberius
Iovinus, who is not a curule aedile. Please, look at the edict below,
and point out to me where and how it tries to order a curule aedile around.

It is three brief paragraphs, of which the last is "formalia", the
second an appointment and the first the propraetor's personal promise
that he, while propraetor, will live up to his part of the "Pactum de
Convento". Nothing about curule aediles.

I think you misread the edict. It merely confirms the incorporation of
the Academia, it does not advice the Academia to seek such status, as it
already has. A must, in Finland, to be acknowledged as an educational
facility in its own right. If I understood things correctly.

The edict state, "the time has come to register the Academia as a non profit corporation", that isn't a past tense sentence by any stretch of the imagination. Instead it is a statement of intention (future action). He needs to seek approval from the Senate as the Senate is the Supreme Policy making body in Nova Roma (Article V).

On top of that I, as Senator would like to know if he has consulted an attorney or researched any of the implications and potential impact with Nova Roma's existing incorporation status. If he has spoken to an attorney I would like to know exactly what was discussed and its pro's and con's.

Salve iterum, Gai Modi Athanasi.

I think you misread the edict. It merely confirms the incorporation of
the Academia, it does not advice the Academia to seek such status, as it
already has. A must, in Finland, to be acknowledged as an educational
facility in its own right. If I understood things correctly.

Well in that case I suppose I would probably have to break down and

However in seriousness, While I have no interest in making enemies, I
don't particularly believe in stepping away from my beliefs or

if the comment was meant to be humourous or not, or if it is nothing
more then an opinion that wasn't particularly constructed with any
sort of maliciousness. There are things I don't like and will speak
against them, and there are things I do like and will support. I try
to handle things with humor when I can do so, because I think it
presents a point in the least offensive way possible at times.. or it
can just be a useful tool to get someone to lighten up. Though I have
come to the conclusion that I should refrain from posting jokes late
a night. The joke last night was written four in the morning my time,
and to be honest while I have an idea of what I was refering to, I am
not exactly certain what I meant overall *lol*... but hey it was

Subject: Re: Intercessio against Edictum Proconsulicium LXIX
Salvete Omnes,

as Tribunus Plebis I disagree the Intercessio by Tribunus Modius
Athanasius.

In my opinion there aren't violations of the Costitutions or Laws or
rules in this Edictum. The Propraetor is not substituting the Curule
Magistrates which nor are mentioned in the text.

Propraetor Quintilianus is using his imperium ONLY in the Provincia
Thule appointing a citizen.

I agree that the Propraetor is a rapresentant of the Senate as
written in the Costitution, but he's appointed to the Senate to
manage the administration of the assigned Provincia and he would
take any legal measure to accomplish his duties as well as possible.
Honestly I don't see any illegal measure and on contrary I think
this Pactum is very useful for a better and faster organization of
local activities. So this text would help the internal procedures
and the help between the Provinciae.

Nothing in my opinion is against the Costitution of Nova Roma.

I agree with you, the Religio is not the ONLY reason and in my

protection of teh Roman Tradition and the promotion of the Classical
Culture and the presevration of the Roman Patrimony.

Who thinking that thw Religio the ONLY reason here refusing all the

I'm not against the Religio Romana, I would promove it and create

make you message more "light"...

["3. Please trim your posts. When replying to a thread, snip
unnecessary sections of the original post for brevity, and indicate

L'ITALIA RESTAURERA' IL TEMPIO DI AUGUSTO DI ANKARA IN TURCHIA

Il progetto realizzato grazie a collaborazione Mae-privati il
tempio di augusto di Ankara - l'unico al mondo insieme a quello di
Roma a contenere il testamento del grande imperatore romano -
tornera' al suo antico splendore.

di Maurizio Pizzuto [CulturalWeb]

Partira' infatti a settembre il progetto esecutivo del recupero del
prezioso sito archeologico che e' stato reso possibile da una
collaborazione tra il Ministero degli Esteri italiano e i privati e
tra universita' italiane e turche.


Promotore ed ideatore del progetto e' l'ambasciatore d'Italia in
Turchia Carlo Marsili che ci stava lavorando da circa vent'anni, da
quando cioe', giovane diplomatico, aveva scoperto ad Ankara il
Tempio di Augusto in stato di abbandono. Ritornato in Turchia come
ambasciatore d'Italia, Marsili ha ritrovato questa testimonianza
dello splendore della civilta' romana nelle stesse condizioni.
L'ambasciatore, sulla base di un progetto di recupero realizzato
dall'Universita' di Ankara e da quella di Trieste, ha sensibilizzato
il primo ministro turco e il ministro degli Esteri Franco Frattini.
Il Ministero degli Esteri e' quindi riuscito a risolvere il problema
principale e cioe' quello del reperimento dei fondi necessari al
restauro, pari a circa 1,7 milioni di euro. La fondazione Monte dei
Paschi di Siena e il suo presidente Mussari si sono infatti detti
disponibili a finanziare l'iniziativa ed il progetto esecutivo, con
il coordinamento dell'ambasciata italiana, e' stato quindi redatto
dalle universita' che lo avevano gia' impostato. ''Ora, finalmente -
ha detto l'ambasciatore Marsili - si parte: i lavori dovrebbero
infatti cominciare entro l'anno''. Il Tempio di Augusto di Ankara -
che nel 2001 e' stato inserito nei cento monumenti mondiali da
salvare - sara' cosi' restituito alla sua antica bellezza.

Salvete,

About the affair about Academia Thules and the proconsular last edict, after extensively studing of NR constitution and legislation, this Tribune says:

I - The edictum is completely LEGAL, because it is done under the Imperium of the Proconsul. Remember the Proconsul has Imperium to be the representative of NR government inside the Provincia, see Lex Arminia Equitia de Imperio. So, the Academia is inside the boundaries of the Edictum of the Proconsul

II - So, in conclusion, there cant be veto to it.

I also want to congratulate proconsul K. Fabius Quintilianus by the excellent work and efforts by Thule to the spreading of the roman culture and studies.

This is the opinion of a group of Pontefices, in this group you 're

Subject: Re: Intercessio of Edictum Proconsulicium LXVIII
Salvete Omnes,

as Tribune I disagree the intercessio by Tribunus Athanasius about
the Edictum Proconsulicium LXVIII about the registeration of
Academia Thules as a non-profit organisation.
I don't see anything against the Costitution, the laws or the other
rules of Nova Roma. In my opinion everything is LEGAL.

In fact in my opinion as Tribune Proconsul Fabius Quintilianus is
accomplishing his duties as rapresentant of the Senate in Provincia
Thule.
The edictum is not illegal because:

- the Academia Thule is indipendent from Nova Roma because there
aren't laws, rules or senatus consulta recognizing it as an official
nova roman istitution

- The academia doesn't need the approvation of the Senate because
the Senate never recognized it as an official istitution and
Academia is not under the power of the Senate

- the Costitution can't stop a group of single citizens creating a
private no-profit organization indipendent from NR

- Proconsul Quintilianus is not creating the no-profit organization
because he haven't the power to do it as nova roman magistrate.
However he's looking for the existance Academia Thule as a finnish
macronational no-profit organization and its collaboration its Nova
Roma Inc. as requested by the Senate.

- Quintilianus is accomplishing his duties because as Proconsul he's
called by the Senate to manage the Provincia Thule. So as appointed
rapresentant with imperium he's looking for a collaboration between
Provincia Thule and a private finnish macronational organization
(Academia Thule ry). The creation of collaborations with local
groups is not unconstitutional and it's very useful for the growth
of Nova Roma.

So I veto the intercessio by Tribunus Athanasius and I applaude the
job of Proconsul Fabius Quintilianus.

PERSONAL OPINION:
I think this kind of activities are very important for Nova Roma and
its growth at the Provincia. It seems that the majority of the
active citizens is supporting the improvement of the local live
activities as the best solution for the health of our organization.
In my personal opinion, trying to stop activities like this up is
only an insult to the growth of Nova Roma and a tactic of a RPG.

Modius Athanasius wrote:

"Also, Roman culture and tradition are part of what make up the
Religio Romana."

Modius Athansius, if you mean that Roman culture and tradition
*influenced* the religio, of course I agree. Every religion is
influenced by the sociey/culture in which it exists; hence the
differences between Roman Catholics in Spain and Roman Catholics in
the U.S., for instance, or the differences between Japanese Buddhism
and Tibetan Buddhism.

If you mean to try to ascribe the *existence* of Roman culture and
tradition to the religio, you are very sadly mistaken. Once again
there is an insistence that the religio is somehow more important,
more essential to Nova Roma than any other aspect. And it may
indeed serve as such *for you*.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, it is entirely possible to
recreate ancient Rome, religio included, without a single actual
believer in the religio itself, as long as the orthopraxis is
continued. As far as the State is concerned, the public rituals
must be observed.

I completely empathize with actual believers, and again appreciate
the time that some have taken to describe their personal experiences
with the religio. I understand that for them, the existence of the
gods is as simple as that of gravity or air.

For the State, however, belief is unnecessary. Orthopraxy alone is
necessary. And I will stand at the side of *any* practitioner when
it comes to performing a public ritual for the benefit of the
State. Even Drusus :-) Once again, I would point to one of the
greatest of the ancients themselves: Cicero. He had absolutely *no*
faith in the religio whatsoever, and yet he was an auger, and
performed the orthopraxy necessitated by that position.

Interesting to contrast the practices within the ancient mos maiorum
with that of Nova Roma, where a citizen who does not believe in the
religio is denied access to the very position that Cicero held.
Would we in Nova Roma have denied Cicero his office as auger?
According to the rules laid out currently, yes.

For those of you who cry out constantly against "modern innovations"
and things being "contrary to the ancient mos maiorum", this must be
a tough position to rationalize. But I'm sure you will, somehow
:-) Have at it!

But neither the Proconsul or the Academia is seeking to be a
sub-corporation of NR, indeed that is impossible under the Finnish

In fact the edictum says "Hereby I CONFIRM the registration in of
"Academia Thules ad Studia Romana Antiqua et Nova ry" (ry =

This means that there now is a independent company and that I confirm

Either you are exceeding your authority as a Proconsul by setting up

The only thing open to question is if you are violating Nova Roman law

Regarding the Collegium Interprovinciale,

If this is intended to be a part of Nova Roma setting it up exceeds
the powers of the governors.

If this is an independant body and Nova Roma is a state, then setting
up an independant regional body of government officals is an act of
rebellion against the state. This is how the Senate of Antiquita would
have viewed this and they would have dispatched an army to releave any
Pro-magistrates involved in it of their heads.

If this is an independant body then any use of Nova Roma's trademarks
by this group is a violation of international trademark law. If Nova
Roma fails to protect it's trademarks then it will lose it's rights to
them.

Regardless of the status of the group, setting it up without so much
as dropping a note to the Senate before hand is an act of disrepect to
the Senate.

It dosen't matter if Nova Roma is a state or an international
organization, setting up regional bodies like this is promoting
regional factionalism at the cost of Nova Roma's unity, and very bad

Salve Censor,

The use of the terms "Conventus Novae Romae" and "Nova Roman Rally" by
an independant organization are clear violations of Nova Roma's
trademarks, and illegal under international trademark law.

The use of the name of one of Nova Roma's provinces in connection with
the words Nova and Romana in "Academia Thules ad Studia Romana Antiqua
et Nova ry" is a probable violation of trademarks consistant with
recent EU rulings that forbade "Lindows" from using a trademark that
could be confused with "Windows".

Therefore I call on the Board of Directors of Nova Roma Inc. (The
Senate) to fulfil their legal obligation to protect the assets of the
corporation, namely it's trademarks, and issuse a cease and desist
demand against the "Collegium Interprovinciale" and the "Academia
Thules ad Studia Romana Antiqua et Nova ry" demanding that they
refrain from any and all use of Nova Roma's trademarks.

This is an unofficial pact for the organization of live meetings
offering to the nova romans a best service. WHAT YOU ARE SAYING????
Senator, where is the rebellion. Everything is done in the legality,
nobody would rebel to the central government and everyone would
offer a better service to the citizens.
You're misunderstanding an easy and unofficial group organizing

Why a disrespect? The Senate appointed this gentlemen to be its

working for the organization of local meetings as suggested by the
highest magistracies of teh Res Publica and I hope by the Senate.
How they're showing disrespect for the Senate?
I see only the highest respect for the Res Publica and the Senate
working hardly to offer another service to the citizens.
Are you meaning that you're against the provinciali activities? Do
you think that the provincial citizens haven't right to organize
meetings?

There is NOTHING good about promoting regionalism at the cost of Nova

defending the blatant regionalism in this plan is only exceeded by

I do not support the veto of my esteemed colleague Gaius Modius

it is not hosted under Nova Roma and has a separate name and domain
name. Nova Roma is mentioned but is not identified as a sponsoring
entity of the Academia, nor is the Nova Roma trademark used. I do
conclude that mentioning Nova Roma on a web site constitutes
infringement of trademark or that incorporation of the Academia has

Subject: The Pactum as an agreement
Salvete Quirites!

The edictum is a signment of the Pactum, which is a voluntary
agreement, not even founded by me. Many of the European Governors
have agreed to cooperate to organise a Roman Rally in Europe, as we
have seen that there is a need for cooperation to get the Rallies
going smoothly. We are just trying to find a way to organise live
activities as some do with the Roman Days and the Roman Market days
in the USA. Nothing more and nothing less. We do it our way and
others do it their way. But the important thing is that we meet and
do real things that develop Nova Roma as an real Roman organisation.
Or?

It is sad to see Nova Roman Tribunes trying to veto a voluntary
cooperation of Governors. To call the Pactum a rebellion is just Boni
drivel! Any time someone try to do real life things some Boni oppose.
Is this possibly because some of them seldom do anything useful
themself?

Where are the sensible Boni? There are a few as far as I know. Must I
call You by name? Isn't it time to call in your friends before they
do more damage to Nova Roma.

The Nova Roman Rally in Europe is a three year old tradition. Those
who are interested in real life activities already know that. Nothing
new is new with the Pactum except that it is an _agreement_ to try to
be more efficient. There has been no rebellion because of the Rally
before, if disagreement with the Boni isn't rebellion?

If the European Rally is promoting regionalism, what is then Roman
Market days in USA? Of course neither is promoting regionalism. You
are just way out of line in suggesting such a stupid thing.

I am sure that the Populus will obeserve the behavior of the Boni and
that they will pay for it in the election in November/December.

Subject: Digest No 1464
L Equitius Cincinantus Augur Quiritibus salutem dicit

Salvete

A couple of things bothers me about this post.
I really do hope no one will take any of these thing personally.
I have seen too many times in this Forum simple statements of fact turned
into personal battles.

First, it is the Praetores who adminster the law, not Tribunes.

http://www.novaroma.org/tabularium/constitution.html
IV. Magistrates.
3. Praetor. Two praetors shall be elected ...:
b. To issue those edicta (edicts) necessary to engage in those tasks which
advance the mission and function of Nova Roma and to administer the law
(such edicts being binding upon themselves as well as others);
--------------------------------
Second, the law in question doesn't distinguish when resignations were made.

Lex Cornelia et Maria de civitate eiuranda
http://www.novaroma.org/tabularium/leges/2001-05-20-iii.html
VI. If a citizen resigns, is subsequently reinstated, and resigns a second
time, that ex-citizen is barred for two years from reinstatement. Such a
citizen is furthermore barred from running for any elected public office for
two years following re-admission, with no recourse.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----

Now, these are my own thoughts. Again not intended to be personal, or
directed at any person but rather the situation.
The Tribune says,"That would be true except that this Lex was not in effect
at the time of his first resignation and so (it) does not apply."

However, the law was in effect before the second resignation, in fact the
law was first an edict promulgated by the very subject of this discussion,
he knew the effect this law would have before resigning a second time. I've
seen arguments that we should do away with the law when it has actually come
time to enforce it. This is exactly the situation for the law being passed.

I've seen citizens argue that we ought not have so many laws; however,
resignations that upset the continuity of Respublica and we need to
collectively address the problem.
Think, knowing what little we know of Romans, what would a Roman have
thought about someone who renounced Roman citizenship.
Given this, I believe the law is lenient.

The Sensible Boni are the ones who realize that promoting unity is
more important than promoting regionalism. Euro-centrism is NOT in
Nova Roma's best intrest. Setting up regional alliances without
bothering to obtain a Consulta isn't in Nova Roma's intrests. Diluting
Nova Roma's trademarks isn't in Nova Roma's intrests.

Subject: The Boni Plan
Salvete Quirites,

Let's have a look at two plans for Nova Roman meetings. First the
"Boni Plan" I presented earlier this year.

Nova Roma stages an annual event. In order to give as many citizens as
possible a chance to attend it would be rotated among regions.

1)Eastern North America
2)Northern Europe
3)Western North America
4)Southern Europe

With South America and other regions joining the rotation when they
gain more citizens.

Now compare that to the plans of Quintilianus and his allies

Europe will have it's own meetings with ZERO consideration for the
rest of Nova Roma.

Quirites, it is the Boni who are intrested in the good of ALL Nova
Romans, we are the ones who want to be inclusive rather than promoting
a narrow and selfish regionalism.

If that is the case, then the Proconsul is well within his rights. However
at least 1/2 of the Senate was under the impression that it was an NR sponsored

Good Gods Tribune! You cannot be this dense. This has nothing to do with a
Proconsul
issuing an edict. It has to do with by passing the Senate.

What does "Interprovinciale" mean in Latin? Let's say I'm in ummm Spain cica
45 BC. I decide to have a large gathering of Provincial Praetors of the
local area. I appoint a magistrate to oversee the operation. I forget to inform
the Senate. The Senate hears of this. Now how does it look to the Senate?
And issuing an edict is NOT informing the Senate. It is post fact. So the
Senate assumes that there is a proconsul in rebellion, and will act accordingly.

Fine, go ahead and set it up. While you pursue your pipe dream,
in the meanwhile, there are gatherings in North America and in Europe
that alredy have momentum and significant interest among the citizens
in those regions. Do you really expect them to discontinue a
successful tradition and buy in to a "Boni Plan"?

nor the creators of Roman Market Day are going to abandon their
successful events to pursue your pie-in-the-sky plan.

Organizing a local event is now defined as "narrow and selfish
regionalism", according to the Boni. No, better that the rest
of should all follow the "Boni Plan" (which has never been
approvied by the Senate and thus has zero legal status) instead
of trying something that actually has a chance of success.

Stop and think before you post, Drusus. You've now completely

Well, next time ask the Senate first. Don't go half cocked on your own. You
are no longer a Consul, which you seem to forget. And don't give me "you
have your ways, we have ours" Bovine Excrement! You claim to be a Roman. Your
imperium as Proconsul is derived
from the Senate. There is proceedure to follow, you didn't follow them, and
worse you lead non Senatorial Governors astray as well. Did anyone of you
EVEN think : "Say we should run it by the Senate first?. After it it involves
NR in Europe." No, you didn't. And that is why the intercesso and why you
should be rebuked by the Senate for overstepping your bounds.
Also, stop blaming this on the Boni. We didn't tell you to appoint an
organizer that will coordinate all the meetings in Europe. If someone who was
member of the faction did so, I would be just as outraged. Nobody likes a sluggish
government. It interferes with one doing spontaneous things such as this.
Yet we all voluntarily put ourselves under this yoke.
We accept the consequences.

things?

There's just one little flaw in your analogy: Governors in NR are NOT
commanders with great military power who could march on the capital of
a far-flung empire; no, they are merely administrators in a social
club. Are you suggesting that regional administrators in a social
club should be banned from cooperating in organizing regional events?

What have *you* done as Proconsul, "Maximus"? How many regional
events have you organized, or even attended?

I shop regularly at a Vietnamese market in Chicago. They always have
a box of live blue crabs there. The crabs on top try to climb out of
the box, but they are pulled down by the crabs underneath, their legs
and claws hopelessly enmeshed.

Q. Fabius Maximus is one of those crabs in the lower layers. As a
provincial governor who has accomplished nothing, all he can do is
complain about the best and brightest of those who share that title.

Now he tries to put forth the absurd idea that a cooperation between
regional directors of a history club is somehow akin to armed rebellion.

"Maximus", if you ever want to be taken seriously here, you'll have
to keep your paranoid delusions under control.

WHAT procedure? There is precedent for Propraetores calling for
cooperation with other propraetores - the Limes cooperation of M.
Marcius Rex in 2000. No one complained about that at the time.

No, the failed intercessio happened because one of the Tribunes is a
shameless partisan hack who no longer makes any pretense of trying to
work within anyone not of his faction. The time limit on a veto is
three days - did this Tribune try to contact the Proconsul and work
out a compromise? No, of course not - anything not of the Boni should
be vetoed as quickly as possible, preferably while the opponent is asleep.

I salute the honest Tribunes who put a stop to that hateful and
destructive act.

Sort of like fighting fire with fire - childish antics and
name-calling are, after all, your own modus operandi.

But the citizens who have not yet been corrupted by you have seen
what's truly going on here: someone had the audacity to try to do
something positive for this organization, to try to make contact with
his peers, and the Boni and the Boni Tribune acted swiftly to pull him
back down into the box of crabs.

I'm going to call a spade a spade. Your little cabal is the most

Fine, go ahead and set it up. While you pursue your pipe dream,
in the meanwhile, there are gatherings in North America and in Europe
that alredy have momentum and significant interest among the citizens
in those regions. Do you really expect them to discontinue a
successful tradition and buy in to a "Boni Plan"?

Organizing a local event is now defined as "narrow and selfish
regionalism", according to the Boni. No, better that the rest
of should all follow the "Boni Plan" (which has never been
approvied by the Senate and thus has zero legal status) instead
of trying something that actually has a chance of success.

Group: Nova-Roma Message: 27230 From: cassius622@aol.com Date: 2004-08-06
Subject: Events and Gatherings (Was: Re: The Boni Plan)
Salvete,

Festivals and gatherings are probably the last thing that should divide Nova
Roma. As far as I can see there should be room for any number of gatherings,
so long as we have people willing to do the work to make them happen.

The original idea for Nova Roma has been for each Provincia to put on
whatever live events they have the people and infrastructure for. There are many
types of events - from Citizens simply gathering for dinner, or visiting a
museum, to larger events such as reenactments where the general public is
welcome. Pretty much ALL of our Provinciae could do the former, but not all have the
Citizen base and infrastructure for the latter.

Nova Britannia Provincia, where Roman Market Days is being held this year,
is very fortunate. We have some excellent infrastructure such as local
reenactor legions, and Citizens with much experience in setting up larger events.
Roman Market Days is expecting 1,000 people this year, and that is something
*no one* can mandate. Either the infrastructure is there, or it's not.
Eventually it will be there for most all the Provinciae I hope!! :)

In the meantime, most all Provinciae can manage smaller gatherings, so that
our Citizens can share and discuss "things Roman."

No matter what plans are made, those who feel they are able to organize
gatherings will do so, and those that don't will not. Our Citizens in Europe are
not at fault for being able to plan for an event they can do the work for.
How can they "plan" for events overseas that they cannot really assist with?

I believe the original model for Nova Roma events is still the best.
Citizens should be encouraged to act locally and do what they are able. If Nova Roma
itself can do anything to assist, it would be to provide good information on
how to hold various types of events, what is really needed to make them
enjoyable, etc. Gatherings and live events are supposed to be *enjoyable.*
Arguing over them isn't going to help anything.

Valete,

Senator, Pontifex Maximus

Now compare that to the plans of Quintilianus and his allies

Darn it. Actually it was the "Magnificiently Evil Boni Present...."

I agree, if the Academia Thules incorporation violates NR's
incorporation (which I'm resonably certain there's an issue as they
are now a completely different organization since they weren't
incorporated by NR - not that I really know much about
incorporations, just a bit), let the Senate deal with matter. Our
agruing about it accomplishes nothing. I can appreciate what they
are trying to do, they just were premature perhaps. Hell, with the
5,423 leges we have it's hard to determine what one can & cannot do.

As for gatherings, I support them 100%. I think we need more of
them. I think there should be a "National Gathering" which rotates
and a whole bunch of Roman Day / Rally events. One in every
province so as many NR citizens as possible can attend at least one
event. Hell, each region in each province should get together at
least once a year. I really don't see the fuss. But I guess I'm
just naive that way.

Maybe I'm just not anal enough for all of this. Either that or I'm
just not that good at regressing into my childhood and/or reaching
into my feminine side to find that marvelous trait of feminity I
call "Femi-Logic" (which bears no resemblance to real logic).

Subject: Re: The Boni Plan
Actually I thought the idea had merit. When the discussion was
previously being held on that event, it was of the nature of a single
national NR event that would be yearly. There was dispute because
there were those who wanted it yearly in said area. I believe if I
remember correctly there was someone who wanted it to be in Rome
every year.
That idea of a rotating large event rather then just being in one
spot in Europe but rotating between all of the major parts of Nova
Roma was a godo idea. That way those who could not make a trip to
another country had the oppertunity to attend a national NR event (I
speak of national as in all of NR the international community, not of
any specific place) at least once every few years.
There was nothing in there that said that you still couldn't have
little gatherings everywhere and whenever. It was speaking of a large
national event for NR. There is no attempt mentioned of replacing
said events.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with local events being held for
local people, and so I seriously doubt that was any attempt to
irradicate those events, after all those can go on every month if so
desired and the plan that was set for the rotating event was only
once a year. It is not replacing, but just having a yearly large
cleebration for all of Nova Roma. Sort of like the Olympics.. it make
be of Greek Origin but they are not held in Greece every year. The
rotating works very well.
So I am not all together certain why you are so opposed to the idea
if it not replacing local events?

Subject: Re: The Pactum as an agreement
Salve.

Cutting through the wave of hysteria, anger, and fury over the
intercessio that appears to be sweeping this list, this is a simple
issue and unrelated to the purpose of the proposed event, its merits
or otherwise.

That issue is... has due process been followed and should the senate
have been consulted first before any action was taken?

Clearly there are differing opinions. The easiest way surely to
resolve it is to do nothing until the Senate reviews the matter. I am
sure that this can be done expediously, and nothing will be lost
timewise by submitting the matter to them.

Now, who could not want to follow due process and if the process is a

by referring it to the Senate for approval without further delay?

So before anymore blood vessels burst over this, why not simply do
this and resolve the matter, so I can get back to writing about Cato
and his love of horses and if the Senate approves the event can be
organized with the stamp of its authority on the decision?

I have been working on a National Roman Days project for four years now.
However, I have nothing to report since there are no commitments given nor
received. But when the time comes rest assured that before I sign a single document
or appoint a single coordinator of the project, the details will be given to
the Senate first.

Agreed. Per usual you demonstrate common sense. I believe it is because you

If the measure of a man's genius is the degree to which he agrees with
you, then by my measure you're a regular Einstein today, Caesar.

I've just asked pullarius Iulius Scaurus to take a tripudium for me

As far as I can see, it creates a closer cooperation between the provinces that
happen to be geographically close. That's nothing new and it's a normal praxis
in international organizations, be it among nations or associations.

In the UN, closer cooperations between similar (economically, politically) or
geographically close countries are common and actually, in several cases,
encouraged.

The EU, a structure surely more compact than the UN, has inside it closer
cooperations in many fields, and surely they aren't seen as divisive, but means
to move the goals of the organization forward when it's impossible or even just
harder to do it all together (like, the Schengen treaty or the Euro itself).

In many international Organizations, like the red cross or the WWF, you have
regional sub-organizations in order to coordinate teh work of places that have
similar problems and similar things to deal with.

It may be incredible for you, but suborganizations to manage local aspects of a
larger body are a common practice, even in the US I bet.

Ave Fuscus,

So what does the EU have to do with Nova Roma?

What happened to all of those lectures about strictly following every
law? About how important it was to respect Nova Roma's government?
Last time I looked the Senate was still part of the government, and
the body that Promagistrates reported to. Did I miss the law that
changed it to Promagistrates reporting to the EU? It's rather hard to
keep up with the changes when the number of laws is increasing faster
than the number of citizens.

Not withstanding the views of any other Tribune this post is NOT ex officio

The on going battle between the "Boni" and the "Popular" parties on any and all issues reminds me of the political cartoon I saw in yesterdays newspaper

It has a little child holding hands with the mascots of the Republican and Democrat parties in the USA

The Republican elephant explains to the child that his job is to point out that the Democrats are always wrong

The Democrat donkey explains to the child that his job is to point out that the Republicans are always wrong

to which the child says and what if your both right!


There is nothing wrong with being Boni but I am not Boni, I do not aspire to be Boni.

week is to introduce some discussion topic about Nova Roma or Rome
that is of my interest, and to meet some people.

Without the necessity that this is my assignment, I am interested in
carrying out it because I would like to meet people that possess the
same interests that me, about Rome of course; and also to collaborate
in the growth of our Nova Roma. The topic that I would like to
propose you is the creation of a page web that mates to Nova Roma,
which includes only the existence of the relating topics about
ancient Rome: history, arts, politics, philosophy, religion,
military, etc., similar to our Egyptian homonym: www.egiptomania.com;
this with the objective to enrich our culture and to put it in the
scope of more people. Really, I don't know how I must propose it,
neither to who I must propose this idea. I hope you can help me.

Salvete omnes;
I just had the most wonderful time, L.Didius Geminus Sceptius the
prop. of Hispania is holidaying in Hibernia & rang me to get together.
I hopped on the train to Dublin to meet him, his girlfriend and her
sister under the arch at Trinity College, Lupus wasn't there as he is
already at the Segovia Rally;)
We talked for hours, about Ludi, why Albata wasn't in some famous
mosaics in the Museum in Madrid (too lousy a team), how hard it is to
draft laws, the meaning of intercessio, lots of great tips to recruit
cives in Hibernia: movie night, posters. Christina and Stephanie
telling me about Uranicus and Durmia, who've I've written to. Ideas
for the Nova Roma Travel Agency. How Octavianus makes calcei and
another civis from Tarraco walked 24 miles in them and said they were
better than any other running shoe.
Can I go on, you bet, but when we left, Scepti holding his
book "Roman Ireland" that he bought at Trinity, lots of pictures, and
a big bear hug 'you must come to Spain!" Christina and Stephanie
telling me how great & we'll meet everyone I've just written to. It
was just one of the best times in my life.
Scepti said "it's not American, Spanish, Irish; we're all Nova

Salvete Quirites!

The last mail from Gaius Modius Athanasius (under the e-mail name
David Kling)) to me arrived the 21st of July. I haven't seen anything
since then and that was way to early. Wasn't it?

This doesn't say that he didn't try to contact me, but it still a
fact that I didn't recieve it. I really would have expected him to
try to contact me as we still are on more than speaking terms
privately. I even thought that we actually had a good personal
relation. I have of course never refused to talk about serious and
important issues with the good Tribune.

I encourage the Tribune to contact me so that we can sort things out.

G. Popillius Laenas C. Fabio Quintiliano salutem dicit

Salve Censor et salvete Quirites,

I have been away from a computer most of the day, so I did not see
the appeal to the moderate Boni until just now. I suppose I fit
that description, so I will respond to your question.

I have not spoken before on the edicts or the veto since I currently
hold no position of authority in Nova Roma other than Propraetor.

I will say that when I read both edicts, I thought them odd in that
they came from a Proconsul with nothing from the Senate or Consuls.

I am all for regional meetings. I believe they are critical to Nova
Roma. The "Pactum", from my admittedly brief reading, certainly
seemed more elaborate than an agreement for administering a face –
to – face meeting. It seemed like the creation of a new
organization, including the appointment of a magistrate, that
crossed provincial boundaries. As such I did think it odd that the
Senate appeared not to be involved.

On the Academy, I thought to myself, "How can a Nova Roma not-for-
profit be formed without the consult of the Senate?" I too was
under the impression that the Academy was an official part of Nova
Roma.

I believe the controversy could have been avoided if the Senate had
been consulted first.

As for the veto, Gaius Modius is a friend, but I would have
contacted you and discussed the matter with you before issuing a
veto. Perhaps he did; I do not know. When I was Tribune, I was
able to avoid issuing a veto by contacting the parties involved and
working out a compromise. Perhaps Gaius Modius did not have time
given the 72-hour time limit.

My conclusion on the entire matter is that better communication on
the part of all the parties would have solved most if not the entire
problem. As it stands now, it sems the matter is closed, but with
considerable new bad blood spilled.
.
Vale bene.

Subject: LEX ARMINIA EQVITIA DE SANCTITATE-Aurelianus to Drusus, suck it up,
Drusus,

Why do you always have to be such a pill? You need to start helping out
rather than just moaning and groaning. All it took to get an action going on
revision and rescinding of leges and parts of leges was a request to Consul
Marinus. Instead of all this moaning and groaning, why don't you do something
useful like pick a few leges that affect a single group, like the praetors or
tribunes, and get together with Cato, Modia Aurelia, and Palladius (just examples,
folks) and put together a combined lex to rescind four or five existing leges.


While your at it, get together with some of the artisticly-inclined citizens
and draw up a couple of ideas for a Certificate of Nova Roman Citizenship and
a Citizenship Card (wallet-size) of Assidui. If you will have noted, one of
the most frequent complaints about those who do pay their taxes or have in the
past (but no longer) is that they get nothing concrete out of Nova Roma. A
simple parchment paper certificate of citizenship would give some justification
to our existence as an organization.

AND DON'T SAY YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO DO THIS because anyone who can calculate
the laws to taxpaying citizen ratio has WAAAAAAY to much time on their hands.
So suck it up, Senator, and get to work.

Why should she be any different from anyone else in the Republic? We all
have knives and we all have enemies. Big deal. Any idiot can stay quiet and not
make any enemies but it takes real talent to make a lot of them. I can say,
with confidence, that Cassius, Drusus, Fuscus, Doris, Fabiana, Po, Athanasios,
and I have probably pissed off more citizens (and ex-citizens) than any past
or (likely) future members of Nova Roma. However, I hold high hopes for Cato
and Arcanus Agricola.

Enemies keep you sharp and give you a reason to keep your knives sharp.
Enemies give you incentive to watch what you say and how you say it. Enemies is
what kept Rome on the offensive for almost 1,000 years. Enemies are how we
keep score. We got all kinds of enemies--religious, political, personal,
macronational, micronational--here on this list. Ain't it FUN!

Subject: The Portable Professor CD Series
Salvete Omnes,

I found this series at Barne & Noble. There is a course called "To
Rule Mankind and Make the World Obey: A History of Ancient Rome".
Here is a summary of what it contains:

The influence of ancient Roman civilization on Western culture is
difficult to overestimate, especially as it affects nearly every
aspect of modern life from language to law, and from military conquest
to spectator sports. In this sweeping series of lectures,
award-winning professor Frances Titchener explores the many
accomplishments of ancient Rome and shows how the empire rose and
fell—as well as how it continues to live on today.

COURSE LECTURES

1. Introduction to Rome, Italy, and the Romans, 1200-753 BC
2. First There Were Kings, 753-510 BC
3. Internal Conflict: The Patrician and Plebeian Orders, 510-287 BC
4. Roman Expansion in Italy, 510-287 BC
5. The First Punic War and the Emergence of Individuals, 264-241 BC
6. Rome's Greatest Enemy: The Second and Third Punic Wars
7. Plantations and the Gracchi Brothers
8. The Rise of Marius Through African and Italian Wars, 128-83 BC
9. Strong Men Fight It Out, 123-53 BC
10. And Then There Was One: Julius Caesar, 53-44 BC
11. Augustus, the Father of His Country, 43 BC-AD 14
12. The Empire's First Century: Julio-Claudians and Flavians, AD 14-96
13. Gibbon's Golden Age and the Beginning of the End, AD 96-303
14. Constantine, Barbarians, and the Great Transformation, AD 303-476


A winner of numerous national and regional teaching awards, Frances B.
Titchener teaches Greek and Latin as well as courses on the history of
ancient Greece, Rome, and Celtic Europe at Utah State University.
Titchener earned her Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Austin and
was the recipient of a Fulbright grant in 2003. A prolific essayist,
she is also editor of the scholarly journal Ploutarchos.

It's on 8 CD's and is 8 hours long and costs $39.95. I am thinking
about buying it this weekend.

G. Equitius Cato quirites S.P.D.

Salvete, omnes.

Wow. I go out for a few hours and WHAM! All hell breaks loose.
I've read the posts flying back and forth, and am sort of proud NOT
to have been involved in this one. But since Iulius Caesar has
dragged me in by the horse, I'm going to say something. Naturally
:-)

I'm wondering if this firestorm of vitriolic point/counterpoint might
have occurred at all if Fabius Quintilianus had simply gone ahead and
worked with the other Provincials on creating/organizing these live
events, without making an announcement.

I'll bet if he had just written, "Oh, by the way, a bunch of us are
making plans together for regular live events in Europe", everyone
would have been high-fiving him and recognizing that that kind of
activity is EXACTLY what Nova Roma needs so desperately. Both of the
Pater Patriae have spoken eloquently about their vision for Nova Roma
when they founded it; regular, live meetings figured prominently in
that vision.

I have always, on this List, been a champion of correct procedure.
If Fabius Quintilianus has made a mistake procedurally, it must be
corrected. I hope that I will not react with the same absurd
overkill when one of our colleagues acts incorrectly procedure-wise.
We can learn to be better than that.

So, Fabius Quintilianus may have made an error, procedurally, in not
passing through the Senate with his plan before announcing it in a
formal (and as yet unclear if even necessary) way. If Fabius Maximus
and Sicinius Drusus and Modius Athanasius feel this is an act of
rebellion against the State, I suggest they hop on a plane with the
non-rebellious Legions and do some serious fanny-smacking. If they
think he simply made a procedural error, then they can watch (or even
help shepherd) the process now proceed correctly via the Senate.
We'll see how the Senate deals with it.

C. Fabius Quintilianus, your efforts, and the efforts of your
Provincial colleagues, are to be greatly applauded. Let us hope
that, once they are recognized and have gone through the formal
process that seems to be necessary, the whole of Nova Roma will
embrace, even celebrate them.

salvete,

Cato

Salve, Quintiliane.

I think that a reasonable solution to the current dilemma would be for
the pro-magistrates who have created the Pactum to ask the consuls to
submit it for approval as a Senatus Consultum. I agree that a structure
to facilitate European NR rallies is a very good thing and as Aedilis
Curulis have been very supportive of this idea and hopeful that
pro-magistrates elsewhere would cooperate to establish regular
face-to-face meetings. However, I also think that it is best that such
agreements be officially recognised and sanctioned by the Senate since
liability arising from such events will adhere to the corporation,
regardless of how the planning of the event is organised.

I think what he probably meant (correct me if I'm wrong!) is that
practising the Religio includes following Roman culture and

Don't be such a nitpicker, Tribune. The Proconsul was just being polite so
no one would be surprised by his perfectly legal (as I read the related

Proconsul's action pushes an institution related to Nova Roma out into the real world a
bit more.

I really do wish that the Tribunes would talk over such things among
themselves before declaring intercessio against some action that may be perfectly
legal for a Proconsul to do. The powers and protections that make the Tribunes
such a powerful voice for the Plebs should take into account whether an action
actual does any damage to the Plebs before immediately jumping onto it.

Why don't you give your fellow Senator the courtesy of corresponding with him

certain amount of trust and need to show it by asking him rather than just

While I care what every Nova Roman thinks and listen to all sides, my support of the veto was because a Propraetor published an official edict that purported to do something not within his preview. If the academy is not a Nova Roman subgroup it needs to be labed that on OUR website or it needs to be removed. How does a Nova Roman official post an official edict on a non Nova Roman group but it is not subject to Nova Roma?

So, Fabius Quintilianus may have made an error, procedurally, in not
passing through the Senate with his plan before announcing it in a
formal (and as yet unclear if even necessary) way. If Fabius Maximus
and Sicinius Drusus and Modius Athanasius feel this is an act of
rebellion against the State, I suggest they hop on a plane with the
non-rebellious Legions and do some serious fanny-smacking. If they
think he simply made a procedural error, then they can watch (or even
help shepherd) the process now proceed correctly via the Senate.
We'll see how the Senate deals with it.

C. Fabius Quintilianus, your efforts, and the efforts of your
Provincial colleagues, are to be greatly applauded. Let us hope
that, once they are recognized and have gone through the formal
process that seems to be necessary, the whole of Nova Roma will
embrace, even celebrate them.

Don't be such a nitpicker, Tribune. The Proconsul was just being polite so
no one would be surprised by his perfectly legal (as I read the related
material) action. The Academy has done some very good work and I think the
Proconsul's action pushes an institution related to Nova Roma out into the real world a
bit more.

I really do wish that the Tribunes would talk over such things among
themselves before declaring intercessio against some action that may be perfectly
legal for a Proconsul to do. The powers and protections that make the Tribunes

actual does any damage to the Plebs before immediately jumping onto it.

I think we have pretty much determined that we cannot act as Romans in all
things because there would probably have been a riot on the Palatine by this
time. However, it would be a very Roman action for the Conscript Fathers (and
the Board of Directors of Nova Roma, Inc.) to take this discussion into the
Senate House, Corporate Board Room, or private lists and out of the public sight.

On this occasion, I think that most of the citizens would prefer that your
deliberations occur behind closed doors with only the Tribunes present to
represent the Plebs. You, worthy Conscript Fathers, are not exactly covering
yourself with glory and dignity at the moment.

With good wishes for a speedy meeting of the Senate.

Sir,

The Proconsul is a stickler about making others follow procedure, but
choose to ignore procedure and bypass the Senate without obtaining a
Consulta before proceeding with his plan. If he had bothered doing
what he expects of others, follow established procedures, then this
would have been settled in the Senate and the first you would have
heard of it would have been the Consulta announcing it.

He expects others to follow all the laws, rules, and regulations that
he is so active in imposing on them. Then he turns around and ignores
procedure himself. If he wants to impose rules, then he can expect to
have it pointed out when he fails to follow protocol.

In defense of Proconsul and Censor Quintilianus, I posted to him on the ML
about a matter relating to the Rogatores about four days ago. He spotted the
post and responded to me the next day. He returned all other posts quite
promptly because it was official business between a Rogator and a Censor. I am
inclined to believe that if anyone had contacted him about his edicta and given it
at least 24-36 hours, he would have responded. If one or more magistrates or
Senators had written to him about the edicta privately, then I'm sure that
they could forward copies of such posts from their "Sent" emails to the ML to
confirm that they did act in good faith. I'm sure that most citizens would be
very pleased to see such an action to confirm that the rather unpleasant
responses and posts we have all been witness to was not just a knee-jerk politically
motivated reaction.

Subject: Re: Provincial Meetings and Other Heavy Topics
Salvete Quirites, et salve Cato.

I agree with you Cato on the value of the proposal. It has been said
many times before by many people, Scaurus, you, Palladius, Vedius,
Marinus, and Drusus are some that spring to mind, that Nova Roma
needs to escape the confines of the "net". I think that the proposal
is an excellent idea.

Cato, you asked if no one had said anything would this have blown up.
I believe it would, for this was an issue of procedure. Procedure and
legality have been hot topics recently. It is reasonable, and I doubt
anyone can disagree with this, that the correct procedure for
implementing it should be followed. Reading the posts I think the
answer to why it became heated is twofold.

Firstly, the issue of due process and legality has as an issue had
its drum beaten mightily, together with support for the institutions
of the state, the religio and the CP's role. These are just a few of
the items. Where a possibly breach of procedure arose it should not
be at all surprising that as a result it was identified and opposed.
It after all seemed like a blatant double standard.

Secondly, personal dislikes and old quarrels provided the touchpaper
to light this barrel of TNT. Though he was not alone, I think that
Senator Marcus Octavius Germanicus managed to raise if not Drusus's
temperature, certainly his own and probably that of the various
threads by an excessive amount.

Was this necessary? No - none of it was. Was it likely or inevitable?
Yes, given the background issues. Does it matter? Not in the
slightest. Nova Roma is still in the gestation period. I don't even
know we would all agree that birth is imminent, if the head is
engaged or whether there are signs of fetal distress.

We are all to a large extent running blind, with a paucity of extant
source material and accounts to fill in the minutiae of details. We
all have views and interpretations and spins. So I think we will
undoubtably see many more occasions like this. At least we know as
a "community" we are alive and kicking, even if 70% of the time we
are kicking ourselves, and the reason why we do this so much? Rome of
Antiquity had to deal with external enemies. They could only spend
probably 50% of their time kicking each others heads in. We in Nova
Roma don't have that external impetus to forget political differences
and become united Nova Romans. No Samnites to wallop. No Hannibal to
defeat.

So can we solve it? No, not without taking the fire out of Nova Roma
and reducing us to a quiet backwater. If you seek that we have
various lists where you can gain respite, or you can just take a
holiday much as the Romans did. You turn the computer off - our
equivalent of leaving Rome for the country. That we don't is probably
a sign we are all addicted. Let's face it this is giddy and heady
stuff :)

So does that mean I have been put through Cato's de-bonifaction
machine? Not a bit of it :) I just suggest that now the issue is on
its way to the Senate, where I hope it receives the support it
obviously deserves and is endorsed, and the weekend is upon us, lets
take a few hours (I am not that optimistic as to suggest the full
weekend) from kicking each other's virtual heads in, and recharge. We
can start again on Monday.

To borrow Cato's phrase - just another day in paradise :)

They could have certainly done so, and the whole argument would have been
averted. Caeso is nothing if not courteous and flexible, and every citizen
who has had the pleasure of dealing with him is aware of this fact.

But the Boni and the Tribune of the Boni did not attempt compromise at all -
as soon as they saw someone with a good idea, they heaped scorn on it, as
well as a blatantly partisan veto (whatever happened to the tradition of
Tribunes discussing a veto amongst themselves first?). I asked the Censor
about this a few hours ago, and he confirmed that there was no attempt
by the Tribune of the Boni to work out a constructive solution.

The Boni aren't even trying to act constructively anymore. Soundly
rejected by the voters (the Tribune of the Boni hid his affiliation
with them during the election), they've now adopted a "dog in the manger"
approach.

Subject: Removal of Intercessio
Gaius Modius Athanasius S.P.D.

Ex Officio

Even though my fellow tribunes vetoed my intercession I formally remove my
intercessio against the Edicts of Proconsul Caeso Fabius. Some claim I acted
too hastily, and perhaps I did. For that I apologize. I stand tall, hoping to
preserve Nova Roma and do not want to see it divided, even though some people
disagree with me. I have been called several things in the past few months,
including ayatollah, evil, fundamentalist, radical etc... All of which are
untrue.

Regarding the words I Marcus Octavius Germanicus; I am very hurt by his
words. Of all of the citizens in Nova Roma I held him in very high regard; and
still do. We sit at our computers and send e-mails out without thought of how it
can affect other people. The fact is, no matter what my "political"
affiliations I considered Marcus Octavius a good friend. My being a Bonus had nothing
to do with anything. His words hurt very much, and I don't expect anyone to
care, but I am tired of the constant conflict in Nova Roma.

Again, my intercessio is revoked.

Valete;

Gaius Modius Athanasius

F. Galerius Aurelianus G. Modio Athanasio.

I have recently read a post from the Pontifex Maximus explaining to another
pontiff why the PM has not been as active this summer as he would like to be.
The first reason had to do with his regular job and the second reason had to
do with his being the sole organizer for the Roman Days Event in Maine that
will occur in September. He stated in that post that LaWren's Nest has stepped
away from their involvement and help to host their own event and that his wife,
Senator Patricia Cassia, has taken a new job in Boston plus is taking college
course.

I do not know if you meant to embarrass the PM by your post or if you did not
realized how dreadfully presumptuous it came across. The polite and
considerate method might have been to email him privately and ask if he had anyone
helping him with presenting public rites or conducting classes. I know you have
done both and so have I. You could offer to help him so as to take some
stress off of him. If Cassius were to ask for help within the CP, I am sure you
would be the first to volunteer even though I know you have had your own
personal setbacks this year. If Cassius were to accept an offer of help, I could try
to arrange to drive to Ohio and the two of us could drive to Maine to help at
this event. Maybe we could appeal to other followers of the RR to join us at
Roman Days to help spread our faith.

While I recognize that this is a trying time at the moment in Nova Roma, we
should be taking every opportunity to bring new blood into the Religio rather
than demonstrating the pontiffs and flamens would prefer to be hostile to one
another.

Vale.

You seem to think we did not. Both I, his Paterfamilias and Modius contacted
Proconsul Fabius as soon as I read this Edictum. The Proconsul refused to
answer.
Later Iulius Sacarus upon my urging, also contacted him. He refused to
withdraw the Editicum and he refused to talk to us about it.
At this point, and only this point with the 72 hour limit running out was the
Intercessio issued.

Sicinius was not even aware of the publishing of the Edictum until much
later. I was up late night when it was published and read it. I realized the
implications and announced it on the Senate floor, intending to keep it private.
Octavius leaked it so that the Cohors would
become involved. That's the only reason I see for him to leak it.

After talking members formally who worked with Fabius Quintilianus, I have
come to the reluctant conclusion that he is a real well meaning buffoon, and he
takes credit for other peoples' work while he does little himself, (this from
his people who did his work last year.) This idea wasn't even his own,
according to several magistrates, just that the people who suggested it had no
political clout. He only issued the Edictum to keep other people from bringing it
to the Senate first.

This is more info then you need to know, but I wanted to inform you the
Senate is attempting to handle the situation.
Cato is right. We should take three Legios over to Thule and eliminate
Fabius. The man is an affront as a Roman magistrate.

I should like to say for the record that I think that the Collegium

Aedilis Curulis. I grant that it is somewhat ahistorical, but the blunt
fact of the matter is that Nova Roman provinces do not exist for the

enrichment for promagistrates and their staffs. The need for planning

will go a consierable distance toward rationalising the process. It is
unfortunate that the pactum was not first submitted to the Senate for

What is the Euro worth right now? Does anyone have any idea. This was one

Subject: To the Citizens of Nova Roma
Gaius Modius Athanasius S.P.D.

Citizens of Nova Roma:

Marcus Octavius Germanicus has said some very harsh things recently about me.
He has called me the pet of Drusus. He has called me a shameless partisan
hack. He has insinuated that I am dishonest, hateful, and destructive.

I believe the root of his anger towards me is the result of a conversation he
and I had over the phone, something he alluded to on this list. He and I had
a conversation on the phone right before he resigned from his office as
Censor. In the conversation he spoke in detail about his frustration with several
citizens, and his feelings about many of them. I listened, and let him vent.
I did not share with him my affiliation with the Boni, because at the time I
was a new Bonus, and didn’t want to make that an issue.

I had the pleasure of meeting Octavius at a Lacus Magni Gathering a couple of
years ago and I cherish that time; especially when I beat both Octavius and
Marcus Bianchius at both chess and an oratory contest. We had a lot of fun
back then, and now we are enemies on the list. Why? Because I joined the Boni
and didn’t tell him.

The words out his mouth, when we talked on the phone, have remained in
confidence. I am a man of integrity, contrary to what anyone might believe. I did
not go running to the Boni and spout off what Octavius said on the phone.
That conversation was private, and remained private. I consider Octavius a good
friend, and am very hurt by his words. I did not betray his confidence, I
swear by my Father and by all the Gods that I never said anything to anyone
regarding the details of our conversation. I considered him a friend and our
conversation was private.

Perhaps I am not as much of a “thick skinned” Roman as I thought I was,
because the words of Octavius have hurt me very much. Not because they were “
politically damaging” but because they came from a friend, or someone I considered
a friend. Someone who I respected and someone who I was deeply saddened to
see step down as Censor. I voted for Octavius and tried to encourage him to
remain active in Nova Roma when he felt discouraged.

One of the reasons I decided to “out” myself as a Bonus was because I don’t
want to have a secret identity. I want people to know what I stand for, and
if they do not like it then I am sorry, I have to be true to myself. However,
that doesn’t mean I consider non-Boni my enemy. For example, I consider F.
Galerius Aurelianus a friend. Yet he is NOT a Bonus, although he is a good man.
He will not hesitate to be critical of me on the main list, and he will call
my actions into question if he feels a need to do so. Friends do that, they
call each other to task if necessary. It was I who encouraged Aurelianus to
petition the Collegium Pontificum to be selected as Flamen Cerealis. He is NOT
a Bonus, but he is a good man who will be a good Flamen. I also worked very
hard to try to get some sort of peace between Drusus and Aurelianus; a task
some felt was impossible.

I guess I am an idealist. I felt I could make a difference if *I* were in
the Boni. I felt that perhaps *I* could make a difference and help bring Boni
and non-Boni together. I felt that perhaps I could be a “bridge builder”
between people like Octavius, who I liked and deeply respected, and people like
Drusus and Sulla; who also want what is best for Nova Roma.

Yeah, some of my posts in the past few months seem harsh to some. It is
frustrating at times. If I have offended anyone in my eagerness to build up the
Religio Romana, then I apologize. I have enough humility to know, and
recognize that I can come across on this list as abrasive. That truly is not what I
am about.

M. Octavius Germanicus, if you wish to add me to your list of enemies then I
cannot stop you. If you will accept an olive branch then I will give it.

Valete;

Gaius Modius Athanasius

-------------

”The Boni aren't even trying to act constructively anymore. Soundly rejected
by the voters (the Tribune of the Boni hid his affiliation with them during
the election), they've now adopted a "dog in the manger" approach.”

“I'm laughing at your pet Tribune's failed attempt to derail a call for
inter-provincial organization.”

”I'm going to call a spade a spade. Your little cabal is the most hateful
and destructive faction in NR politics, ever. You've done nothing, produced
nothing, and contributed nothing except invective.”

”No, the failed intercessio happened because one of the Tribunes is a
shameless partisan hack who no longer makes any pretense of trying to work within
anyone not of his faction. The time limit on a veto is three days - did this
Tribune try to contact the Proconsul and work out a compromise? No, of course
not - anything not of the Boni should be vetoed as quickly as possible,
preferably while the opponent is asleep.

I salute the honest Tribunes who put a stop to that hateful and destructive
act.”

Quinte Fabi Maxime.

First, I have spoken with Censor Fabius and he has received no such
communications. Neither have I seen any CC's or FWD's of such posts
here, not that forwards couldn't be doctored.

Second, the propraetor published his edicts at 3:22PM and 3:23PM roman
time, respectively. The intercessios were made 6:39AM and 7:05AM the
next day. Given that you and Gaius Modius Athanasius both noted and
objected to the edicts at 3:23 and immediately contacted the censor
regarding them, you gave him 15 hours and 16 minutes to respond.

For those interested, the censor lives in the roman timezone. That means
the intercessio was pronounced 06:39 in the morning, his time, with him
probably having been asleep the previous six or seven hours. Lessening
his response window, to an e-mail sent 3:23PM, to less than 10 hours.

As you claim Gaius Iulius Scaurus contacted him "later" than yourself
and Gaius Modius Athanasius, that response window would have been even less.

Then comes the question; With a 72 hour window for intercessio, with the
tribune quite clearly being available all through the next day, is
allowing for a 10 hour response window:

1. More than adequate; lenient, even.
2. Sufficient.
3. Maybe just a little less than it could have been.

Just think about it, before making any claims about anyone "refusing" to
answer. To an e-mail I'm still not convinced was ever sent.

I will privately answer the short mail from the 21st which is the
latest mail I have recieved from You to date. I didn't answer it as I
thought that it didn't require any answer and as I was abroad for
most of the time and had to let some mail wait. I usually have to do
so as the flood to my in-box is huge even though I don't count the
thousands of spams (that I and other officials seem to get as we have
an official Nova Roma adddress). Sooner or later I try to get an
opportunity to answer all these mail, but it can take time. Nova Roma
has taken most of my awake hours lately and still I don't seem to
keep up. I must have been the trip to the Provinicial/Academia

My duties as a Censor doesn't seem to become less although my

Salve, Pii.

This seems to be my day for correcting the record. I did not write to
Quintilianus at the request of Maximus (I mentioned in correspondence to
Maximus that I had written Quintilianus, when I was trying to explain
that, while the edictum was inapt, the Collegium Interprovincale was an
excellent idea and should be supported, which is perhaps the source of
the confusion). I wrote a private email to Quintilianus at the same
time as my first posting on the subject to the ML. It was long after
the intercessio was pronounced, since I have been buried in grading
exams and not paying much attention to the ML. Since I was informed by
Marinus that the pactum will be submitted to the senate and received a
reply on the ML from Quintilianus, I understand perfectly why he didn't
reply to the private email: the matter was settled.

Perhaps if teaching duties hadn't kept me offline, I could have headed
some of this brouhaha off, since certainly the aediles have known about
the pactum for some time and support it as a necessary means of
coordinating regional events.

I confess that I am not particularly happy at the implications of more
formally separating the Academia Thules from NR. If anything, I would
rather see it become the official educational isntitution of NR. I
understand that it has always been in sense a separate as a provincial
institution, but if there were a way to overcome the Finnish legal
difficulties to make it a subordinate entity of NR, Inc., I think it
would better serve the republic as the foundation for NR's educational
programme generally.

I have sent a mail to You some month ago and haven't recieved any

I have created the Pactum I just signed it. I never occured to me
that it was my duty to take it to the Senate. In any normal

forgot that in Nova roma _nothing_ is normal or easy. Here we always

To be precise, you had three other tribunes (Julilla, Apulus and Faustus)
counter-intercessing you so is not like you did some kind of show of grace by
"revoking" an act that had been already made null and void by the majority of
your collegues, you just were forced to bow in front of the other tribunes'

We had an hour-long conversation, most of which was about the factions
here and their history. During all that time, you didn't even hint that
you had already pledged allegiance to my enemies.

You could have cut the conversation short at any time; could have changed
the subject to something other than politics; could have said that you
disagree with my assessment of the character of certain persons here, were
working with them, and preferred not to talk about them.

You did none of those things. Instead, you let me reveal a great deal
of personal history, and some secrets, to someone I thought I could trust.

I left the main list a day or two later, and due to Yahoo's usual poor
integration the mail didn't stop flowing right away; I saw some of
what happened next. I saw the person whose cause I had taken up in an
argument about "lawsuits" call all non-Boni "c--ksuckers". And then I
saw you reveal that you were part of that same hateful group.

I was stunned. This hurt more than anything that had gone on the previous
weeks, the events that caused me to resign my offices. I had encouraged
you to enter politics when we met in person two years earlier. I had
publicly endorsed you for Tribune; and now you were giving aid and support
to a faction opposed to everything I've done here.

> We had a lot of fun back then, and now we are enemies on the list. Why?
> Because I joined the Boni and didn’t tell him.

Because you manipulated me by withholding this knowledge. In February,
when a Nota had been issued against Drusus, you came to me and suggested
a compromise that would include removing the Nota. I accepted it because
I thought of you as someone with a neutral perspective, not pledged to
either faction; as an impartial mediator, and as someone with the best
interests of both sides in mind. Now, I look back on that incident as
treachery and scheming.

Were you a Boni then? I asked you that directly a month ago, after a
vague allusion to this incident in the Senate; you never replied.

> I voted for Octavius and tried to encourage him to remain active in
> Nova Roma when he felt discouraged.

But all your other actions have served to support the people who have
driven me away.

The Boni first became identifiable as such during my Consulship. It was
never an issue of Traditionalists versus Modernists, as they like to
say. There are no "Modernists" - that's just Boni Pravda.

The split occurred in January of 2002 during a struggle that was
principally between F. Vedius and L. Equitius about the creation of
new Senatores and the dismissal of old ones. The supporters of Vedius
became the Boni, the supporters of Equitius became the anti-Boni.
(Ironically, neither of those two is at the core of those factions
today).

When my colleague and I had a public falling-out in June of that year,
over a proposed lex that was intended to change how the Censores
created Senators (an issue related to the January dispute and
therefore something we both felt strongly about) the existing factions
crystallized around the two of us. We clashed again a month later about
gens reform. It was shortly after that that I was invited to one
factional mailing list, and the "boni_nr" yahoo group was started
by the opposing side.

It was never "Traditionalists" and "Modernists"; the divide has always
been about personalities.

For a friend to join the Boni was therefore a slap in the face.

Was your action this week that of a bridge builder? Apparently without
discussing it with your colleagues, or with the person who proposed it,
you vetoed a provincial edict that was intended to promote local gatherings
and educational efforts. If there's anything wrong with it, it's minor
technical issues about scope and authority, which could have been easily
resolved by asking Caeso to make some changes. You had three days
in which to act before the deadline for a veto arrived. Instead, you chose
to "shoot first and ask questions later"; and next the twin attack dogs
of the Boni then came out in full force with insane rants about how
organizing a local gathering is "selfish regionalism".

It's your actions that will determine that. You've said you want to
be a "bridge builder"; we'll have to see.

IMHO, All large things must start small (unless it's making a fortune in the

use the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) as an example, and only as an
example, It started rather small about 1967 in California, and now has some
of the largest gatherings, to include the pennsic war, which can gather over
10 - 15 thousand attendees. Provinces that have no experience at planning

I don'e believe this to be too much to ask. After all, the Tribunes exist as
the legal voice of the Plebians, therefore the question in each tribunes
mind should not be "Do I agree or not agree with this edict, lex, whatever",
but rather, "What good or harm will this do to the plebians that I
represent?"

Now that said, it would be nice if all politicians realize that they serve

brag about following the illogical fuzzy world of subjectivism on your

logical thought pattern, but this isn't a private discussion, there
are others who are reading the posts on this board and many of them
are capable of logical thought.

As for personality, I'm not the one who only got active in Nova Roma
after they gained a bad reputation on the Tollien boards.

You spent a great deal of time making claims that Nova Roma is a
nation, that it's magistrates have to follow the laws and procedures
of a nation. Now that those procedures aren't convient, all of a
sudden Nova Roma has morphed into an international organization.
Typical subjectivist rambling bought on by a fuzzy headed world view.

I Have been playing a nasty trick on you people, I have been holding
you to the standards that you have proclaimed. YOU keep calling Nova
Roma a nation, well kid, in a nation a local government official can't
simply ignore the national government and do as it pleases.

By the very standards that YOU spent most of the summer proclaiming
setting up the Collegium without obtaining permission from the Senate
was an act against the state, and I have been holding you to that
standard.

You didn't want to accept Nova Roma as a voulantary organization where
people can do things as they please. In that sort of an organization
there would be no problem with setting up a Collegium. YOU wanted a
different standard earlier this year, a state where people have to
blindly follow laws rules, and regulations, and I have been holding
you and your friends to your earlier words.

Citizens look carefully at this statement. This paranoia, this desire
to look at people who have a different viewpoint as "enemies" is a
danger to Nova Roma. This is what turns a differance of opinion over
what we should do into petty grudges and hatred that lasts for years.
There is NOTHING that is less conductive to maintaining an atmosphere
where we can work togather than having people who draw up ememies
lists over events that happened years ago, who allow their petty
personal grudges to cloud every action they take.

As long as we have people who insist on looking at any differance of
opinion as a personal insult worthy of drawing up an enemies list we
will continue to have problems advancing Nova Roma.

Beware of the people who see enemies among their fellow Nova Romans,
they will always find new ones to add to their list anytime someone
dares to disagree with them.

Beware of people who are ready to add new names to their enemies list
because someone dared to be friends with one of their self declared

Wrong, wrong, wrong. You're making things up again, "Maximus". Do you have

Fact: the Vetoes were PUBLIC here, well before I got into this argument.
There was no "leak". The first I heard of this was your hysterical post
to the Senate list. I came to the main list to investigate that
nonsense had seen from you in the Senate - and stayed here because of

Keep your crackpot theories to yourself, "Maximus". They bear no

I disagreed with you on an action, and YOU chose to view me and anyone

take a couple of our crack Legions over and attend to it. Now,
Drusus is engaged in a equipment-size ("you're stupid" "no, YOU'RE
stupid" "no, really, you're VERY stupid" "no, you're the very
MOST stupidest", etc.) dispute with Octavius Germanicus, and
Athanasius has withdrawn his already-overruled veto, so you stand
alone. Remember, only the Senate can appoint generals and dispatch
the Mighty Legions of Nova Roma, so make sure you ask permission
first. Otherwise, a Senator running around with Legions (crack or
no) may raise some eyebrows as to just who is actually in
rebellion :-)

Marcus Bianchius Antonius, I'll thank you to refer to my horse by
his name, Nichomachus ("Nick" for short). And if you offer to give
him away as a door prize again without at least getting the
permission of the Senate, I'll advise Fabius Maximus to wheel the
Mighty Legions in your direction.

So, the Interprovincial Collegium matter is going before the
Senate. The veto was overruled AND revoked. Woohoo! Now, can we
get back to what were we fighting about before that, please?

Ave Cato,

Come now, you are one of the people who were proclaiming the Nova
Roman government as the state that has to be obeyed. What happened to
that viewpoint? All I have been doing is holding you and others to
your own words. The ProConsul failed to dot his i's and cross his t's,
and that sort of thing can't be done in a state. You can't exceed your
legal authority by striking out and doing things on your own without
seeking permission from higher government officials.

You are one of the people who was calling for these kinds of standards
earlier, and I'm simply holding y'all to your words. If you really
beleave that Nova Roma is a state, then the state can't vanish when it
gets in the way of something you want to do, only to reappear when
it's conveiant to have it. You'll have to be more consistant than that.

Salve, Sicinius Drusus.

You are absolutely right, and in my earlier post I remarked that
procedure *must* be followed correctly for the stability of the
State. The procedure was not, but has been corrected (or is in the
process now). The vitriol can stop.

I am unchanging in my view that the State, in the form of the
government, should be obeyed. If a citizen believes a law or edict
to be incorrect or unjust, there is a system in place with which to
deal with that belief. The mistake in procedure, in this instance,
was not one behind which was evil or subversive intent; in fact,
quite the contrary. I am just surprised that the level of pettiness
in view of the goal of the Censor has reached such wild
proportions. The response was more like that of an ill-advised
emperor who felt he was being threatened than that of a seasoned
diplomat who recognizes that lapses can occur.

If, the gods forbid, O Drusus, *you* made a mistake, I certainly
would not call for the Mighty Legions of Nova Roma to trundle down
to Georgia and sack your home. I would (perhaps with a bit more
glee than ABSOLUTELY necessary) point out the mistake and expect you
to be willing to correct it. That is all.

We

And? Apparently your being a follower of teh objectivism doesn't help you
having
a fixed ethic or just manners, not to mention the baility to follow a complex
discussion. Whenever someone writes you something requiring a minimum of use of
brains (be me, Cordus or someone else), you tend to concentrate on a single
paragraph, the one you hope to be more able to twist or exploit, and forget the
rest, often making a pretty poor figure, as the latest examples of teh EU post
made. Better a subjectivist able to make an articulate discussion than an
objectivist who loses himself after the second paragraph.

You got the wrong man. I always talk of Nova Roma as an organization with
internal rules (laws) that have to be followed. Among the laws, I see little or
nothing about proconsular or propraetorician decisions, and in any case
(another example of how you are simply unable to understand the posts you
read), my post was about your preconceptual idea that regional suborganizations
being by principle divisive or something to look upon badly, when it is
absolutely clear that the rest of the civil world thinks about them in a
different way, so much that the largest and most important organizations of the
world actively make use of regional cooperations. Who is that can't follow a
logical thought? Incidentally, you might want to look up subjectivism as the
meaning of the world is, funnily enough, subjective and has several meanings
and several fields of application, not to mention a load of worhty
representatives in the ranks of the human thinkers.

You are delusional, but that's nothing new. You are basing the whole of your
argumentation on the false premise that "we" (we who? I thought you were
talking to me, but anyway) bent the principle that laws have to be followed (a
principle you should be ashamed to even quote, considering your public standing
about the laws of Nova Roma). In fact, considering that I was talking of
something totally different and totally unrelated to teh laws of Nova Roma
(actually, if there was a law saying that proconsuil have to obtain Senate's
pre-emptive approval for each of their edicts, I'd agree with you that
Quintilianus was wrong, but I do not know of any such law), it is yet another
demonstration of how you cannot follow a logic discussion, divagating where
your mind brings you to.

An organization where members have to follow the rules they have imposed on
themselves (and do not repeat for the 1001th time that the voters are a
minority, because it's a democratic standard that the ones who didn't bother
about voting have to be quiet about the results and comply), yes. The fact you
are a board member of such an organization yet you couldn't care less if its
internal rules were respected or not, and actually cheers when one of his
friends badmouth the very organization he's supposed to protect (the Wikipedia
case), is one of those cases that us subjectivists accept with a simple "well,
ethics and responsability are a subjective things for some people".

I Thought I made a mistake once, but I was wrong. ;-)

Actually Cato my two latest posts on the Boni list concern mistakes
that I have supported in the past and have had second thoughts about.
Care to see what kind of dastardy things we Boni talk about? Some may
find the topics intresting.

The first is a reply to another post regarding provinces, I will only
include my words, not those of another person.

The Basic reason the provinces existed was fear, the Romans never felt
secure from the day Romulus founded the city. First it was the Etruscans
and the other Latin Cities. After they were conqured it was the
Italians. Then the Greeks in southern Italy. Once they controlled Italy
it was the Carthgenions right across that narrow strait and the Gauls.
The first province was Sicily, and it was taken so that the
Carthegenians wouldn't have a foothold accross that narrow strait. Next
came Corsica and Sardinia, so the Carthegenians couldn't control the sea
facing Italy. The Gauls had allready tought the Romans to fear an
invasion of Italy. Hanibal reinforced that fear and it never left the
Romans. Each new province failed to bring security, it just created a
new place that the Romans could be attacked driving the process to take
provinces.

Rome always had the mentality the the United States had in the 20 years
after World War II, and still has to an extent. Americans have never
forgotten the attack on Pearl Harbor, it changed the nation making it
wary of a sudden strike from abroad. Once the USSR had Atomic Bombs
things got worse. In the 1950s the United States was by far the most
powerful nation the world had ever seen, and Americans were digging bomb
shelters in their backyards and looking for a Red under every Bed. That
is the way the Romans were throughout thier history constantly fearing
the attack that might come.

The big problem with the Nova Roman provinces is they were set up before
there was anything for a Roman Propraetor to do. There wasn't so much as
a single Polis in his province for him to oversee. there weren't any
troops under his command. There weren't any taxes for him to collect.
There wasn't a hostile tribe accross the border. The Propraetor didn't
have a single Roman task to perform and had, in theory, the powers of a
Roman Praetor within his province. The Xtians say that idle hands are
the Devil's tools, and in this case they were correct. The Propraetors
didn't have any Roman tasks to keep their idle hands busy. Most didn't
have a clear understanding of exactly what a Roman province was. So they
invented a role to fill, turning their provinces into something that
bore little resembalance to a real Roman province.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The second is a post discussing an error I have made, insisting on a
government that replacates that of the middle Republic.


Looking at Nova Roma in retrospective there is one area where trying to
be historic screwed it up. The attempt to recreate all of the offices of
the Republican government from the start resulted in Nova Roma having
too many Chiefs and not enough Indians. Roma Antiquita had a government
that oversaw a city with hundreds of thousands of people and an empire
of millions. We have the same number of officials for a couple of
hundred people.

2 Censors, 2 Consuls, 2 Praetors, 5 Tribunes, 4 Aediles, 8 Questors, and
4 Rogotars. 27 provinces (some of which don't have propraetors) 15
Pontiffs, 13 Flamines, 9 Augurs, and 24 Senators. That is 115 postions!

We have 212 Taxpayers. If every office was filled and no one held more
than one then we would have 115 Chiefs watching over 97 Indians, and
that is before you consider the provincial legates, assorted Scribes,
minor priests and other assorted offices.

The fact is there are nore postions in Nova Roma's government than there
are things for it's officials to do, and that situation results in
officials looking for something to do to justify holding an office.

The more I think about it the more convinced I become that most of these
offices should have been stated as future goals, as postions that would
be filled as Nova Roma grew. In Romulus day there weren't as many
offices, there was the king and the Senate. In the earliest days of the
Republic there weren't this many offices even though Roma was far larger
than Nova Roma is today. Offices were created as they were needed. We
didn't do that we created them before they were needed resulting in
magistrates looking for something to do.

I Think things would have turned out better if there were just two
Consuls and the Senate, with the other offices being added as Nova Roma
grew, say the Praetors would be added when there were at least 500
active citizens, and additional offices recreated as the population
reached a figure where there was a need for them.

Subject: Aurelianus supports Octavius Pius and also Open Communication
F. Galerius Aurelianus S.P.D.

I do not post this message as a "Me too" or "You are right post" but
to remind every citizen about the need to keep the lines of
communication open between groups of officers and among members of
certain bodies, like the Senate.

Q. Fabius Maximus--There was less that 15 hours from the posting of
CFQ's edicta to the time of the Intercessio by Athanasios. That was
too short a time before an Intercessio was pronounced by a Tribune.
Athanasios realized this and withdrew his Intercessio. He and I
spoke last night and discussed this as one friend to another. It was
conceded that he should have waited longer and consulted with the
other Tribunes before he made the Intercessio. However, he had his
reasons for not doing so and those reason were valid for him based on
a perception of the situation.

Tribunes need to talk to Tribunes regularly even if there are hard
feelings between them. Senators need to give other Senators the
benefit of the doubt and contact one another (giving at least 48
hours of leeway) before launching themselves at each other's throats
on the ML.

The Consuls need to consider each revision or rewriting of a new lex
carefully and seek assistance from the their cohors staff, other
citizens, and magistrates before releasing rough drafts. Laws should
also be considered and discussed by the Senate and the Tribunes
before going before the Comitia. The Twelve Tables were not placed
in the Public Forum until 50 years after the founding of the
Republic. I believe we can do better with our laws and rules;
separating the active wheat from the rescinded chaff.

I hope that the next time an edicta or dictum comes on the ML that
our magistrates and citizens will look into it, discuss it, and call
together the appropriate parties on line before launching into any
ill conceived actions that will embarrass and cause hard feelings.

Valete.

TO FUSCUS: Tribune Athanasios was supported in his original
intercessio by my cousin, Tribune Paulinus, but you did not point
that fact out in this post. Furthermore, Tribune Athanasios and I
talked about this last night and he realized he had made an error in
his judgement which IS THE SOLE REASON he revoked his Intercessio.
I, therefore, refute your accusation that Athanasios did this as a
face saving gesture because if he had felt that his Intercessio was
the right thing to have done, he would have done it if he had been
completely without support among the Tribunes. I

I would advise you, Aedilis Urbis, to have a little compassion and
courtesy and not to make presumptions like this in the future. If
you will not trust the person you are potentially slandering, talk to
someone else first to see if you might be mistaken.

The issue surrounding the two edicta posted by Caeso Fabius Quintilianus

All of the initial discussions of these issues seem to have died away,

subjectivism on your web site. Quite frankly I don't think you are
capable of following a logical thought pattern, but this isn't a
private discussion, there are others who are reading the posts on
this board and many of them are capable of logical thought.

To Drusus & Fuscus: Some of us are definitely capable of following
logical thought processes but based on the kind of posts you two are
making, your logical thoughts go something like:

Love Is Blind. Stevie Wonder Is Blind. It follows,
Stevie Wonder Is Love.

by at least three person not affiliated with Nova Roma or the Boni.

To Drusus: I believe this matter has been referred to the Senate for
deliberation, Senator, so why are you not in the Senate House
deliberating instead of being out here irritating?

To Drusus: This remark is a bit odd coming from someone who has
stated that the laws are only made up by a small percentage of Nova
Romans interested in re-enacting government and we should not follow
those laws because it doesn't represent what ALL of Nova Roma wants.

Historically, a Collegia was an informal banquet-and-burial society
formed by working class plebs for the purpose of fraternal
benefience. By this definition, a collegia would not need to have
any approval by any arm (or leg) of the Nova Roman government.
Technically, the Boni are a Collegia within the traditional and
historical context of such an organization.
Just a few friends who get together on the list to talk and socialize.

where people can do things as they please. In that sort of an
organization there would be no problem with setting up a Collegium.
YOU wanted adifferent standard earlier this year, a state where
people have to blindly follow laws rules, and regulations, and I have
been holding you and your friends to your earlier words.

To Fuscus: Something must be wrong here. This post actually made
some kind of sense to me. I better go drink some more until it
confuses me as I am usually con-fuscus-cated by such posts.

I posted this before I read the Consul's post concerning moderation
and comment directed at Senator Drusus. I communicated to him
privately that I would make no more posts cutting anyone else up on
the ML. However, I too am willing to accept moderation if that be in
the best interests of fairness in Nova Roma.

Valete.
