Salvete!

Below is a brief outline of a paper of mine delivered
at a conference at and hosted by Vanderbilt
University.

This essay describes the broad outlines of the legal
structure of Roman law as it pertains to Roman
religion as a social institution, or rather, a set of
social institutions.

The most important distinctions in Roman law are
between fas and ius and between public and private.
The Roman meaning of the first pair is fairly easy to
grasp. The Roman meaning of the second pair of terms
is more difficult to grasp because what the Romans
meant by these concepts is very different from what
they mean for modern sensibilities.

The most important distinction in Roman law is between
fas and ius. Fas concerns the nature of appropriate
and pietas relations between the human and divine. As
such, when fas and ius overlap, ius must accord with
and comply with fas.

The sphere of fas contains much that does not overlap
with ius and falls outside the sphere of ius. Two
analogies help clarify the relation between the two.

The relation between fas and ius can be explained by
drawing an analogy between morals (or ethics) and law.
Morals (or ethics for purposes here I use the two
terms interchangeably although a case can be made for
saying morals are the living practical life of
striving to be a good person and ethics is the
investigation into the conditions that make the
cultivation of a good person possible and provides the
educative guidelines for such cultivation.) is about
cultivating good persons of noble and honorable
character; it is the science and art of creating
persons with moral integrity. Ethics is concerned
with achieving ethically maximum standards. Somewhat
by contrast, law is the maintenance of social order by
providing procedures and standards so that social
affairs proceed in a peaceful and orderly manner. In
terms of those elements that threaten peaceful social
order, law has not only authority but power to enforce
compliance to maintain the order and peace. Where
ethics and law overlap, it is not the �job
description� of law to become ethics or attempt to
produce persons of good character that realize and
embody the values of the ethical maximums. Rather the
task of law is still the maintenance of peaceful
social order. Where ethics and laws overlap, it can
be said the purpose of law is to maintain and enforce
certain ethical minimum standards in outward behavior
in the interest of a peaceful social order and general
social safety. Those persons whose behavior falls
below the ethically minimum standards enforced by law
are thereby subject to the police powers of the law.
Such considerations are partly the reason behind the
maxim that one cannot legislate morality.

Authentic pietas, like morality, cannot be enforced
nor legislated. This is reflected in Roman law and
religion. But the ancient Roman state was a cult.
There was no separation of church and state. While
most acts of impietas were a private matter between an
individual person and the divine, some acts of
impietas were considered such a grave offence to the
divine that they threatened to bring divine wrath of
displeasure to the people of Rome as a whole. Such
grave acts of impietas, in other words, threatened
peaceful social order. Thus, they were subject to law.


Another analogy for understanding the relation between
fas and ius is by thinking of fas as having a status
similar to that of higher federal law and ius as
having a status similar to that of lower state law. In
those areas of life where fas and ius overlap, fas
supercedes and trumps ius. In other words, in a social
order where there is no separation between church and
state, secular and civil law must accord and comply
with higher canon, religious, or sacred law. Finally,
as will be discussed, there was a legal ranking of
religions in Roman society. In a way, there was a
separation of church and state for almost all the
religions found in the Roman empire, and thus, a great
degree of religious liberty. But for the legally
highest religion of Rome there was no separation of
church and state. So just as all law had to comply
with the higher things of fas, so all civil (to be
explained) religious cults had to not contradict the
highest public capitoline and aventine cultus of Roma
as urbs aeterna.

Keeping these analogies in mind as we return to our
topic, fas is about the proper relation between things
human and things divine. To the extent this relation
is an individual and private thing, it is not subject
to ius. On occasion one may judge a person to be
impietas towards the divine and fail to give the
divine its due but it is solely between the divine and
that person. To the extent an individual person�s
impietas can threaten the relations between the divine
and the people and state as a whole, then it is
subject to ius. For example, if a Senator or member
of the ordines displayed behavior that was impietas
(or unethical, but we leave that aside) and that
publically threatened Rome�s relations with the
divine, the Censor could remove that person from the
Senate and/or socially demote them.

As indicated, where fas and ius overlap in
jurisdiction, ius must accord and comply with the
higher fas. Sometimes this arrangement requires that
ius coordinate with the requirements of fas in order
to provide the social conditions necessary to maintain
and carry out the things pertaining to fas. For
example, ius regulates the social means for taxation
in order that the things of fas required can be
economically maintained. Another example would be
where the laying out of temples and routes for
religious processions required by the things of fas
are legislated and regulated by ius. In ancient Rome
another important area where ius would coordinate
social and secular affairs in order to have them
accord and comply with the things of fas is the
calendar. The office of pontifex maximos was also an
office of mediation between the sacred shere of fas
and the secular sphere.

Within the ordo of ius itself, we also find a
hierarchical structure in Roman law plus an important
distinction between public and private law. Both the
nature of the public and private spheres in Roman law
and the distinction between them is very different
from what they are in the modern world. In Roman law,
public law or ius publicum is comprised of the
religious rules and rituals of the official Roman
religion (not all religious cults in the Roman
empire). Ius publicum is ius sacrum. It is the
maintenance of those social and religious conditions
that directly support the higher things of fas that
were of public concern and part of the cultus of Roma.
The public sphere was that open space of the things of
fas (human and divine relations) that concerned the
Roman people and the Roman state as a whole. Contrary
to modern legal sensibilities and instincts, this
corpus of public law was neither civil nor secular.
It was religious. All other Roman law was private law.
Private in the Roman sense is also very different
from our sense of privacy. Private was the entire
political, international, ethical, social (public in
the modern sense), economic, and individually personal
(and private in the modern sense) sphere that was not
public in the above sense. To quote the Roman jurist,
Ulpian

�Of law, there are two branches, public and
private...Public law covers sacred actions and
priests. Private law is in three parts: principles of
natural law, law of nations, and the imperium. In its
two parts, law is the knowledge of things divine and
human.�

To draw out what Ulpian is stating, in ancient Rome
ius publicum is about the social conditions required
to insure the correct performance of the rites of the
state-supported cult as a public obligation of the
people and state of Rome to fulfill the things that
were fas. Public is what the Roman people
collectively as a people owe to the divine. To draw an
analogy, this corpus of ius publicum that �covers
sacred actions and priests� resembles the kinds of
things one may find in Roman Catholic canon law and in
a Roman Altar Missal. Public law is about the sacred
rites and liturgies at the foundation of the pagan
Roman state and Roman people. The following is a
sample of the kinds of regulations that are found in
and are part of ius publicum as ius sacrum.

1. The flamen Dialis cannot be forced to swear an
oath or bear witness.
2. The flamen Dialis must not set eyes on the army.
3. The flamen Dialis must not mount or touch a
horse.
4. The flamen Dialis must not eat raw meat or beef.
5. The flamen Dialis must not go near a funeral
pyre.
6. The flamen Dialis must avoid fermented substances
7. The flamen Dialis must not touch or speak about a
dog.
8. The flamen Dialis must never, not even at night,
doff entirely the insignia of his priesthood nor
his sacred cord nor see his wife, the flaminica,
entirely in the nude.
9. The flamen's person is sacrosanct, laying hands
on him is death.
10. Any person who shall enter the temple of Jupiter
Optimus Maximus or Minerva shall not have had sexual
relations for two days and must bathe before entering.

By contrast, all other areas of life and law were
private in the sense of being not public in this
specific sense that the Romans meant it. By
�principles of natural law�, Ulpian means all that is
involved in the concept that the cosmos is a divinely
and intelligently designed order in which all things
have their place, value, reason, and purpose; where
human nature naturally has intrinsic value (thus
natural rights that others whether divine or human
must ethically respect and natural obligations that
each person must ethically fulfill whether these
obligations are the things of fas to the divine or
ethical reciprocity of respecting other humans natural
rights); that morality is rooted in the very nature of
the cosmos, and that it is universally and objectively
binding for all peoples, cultures, and times. By �law
of nations�, Ulpian means international law between
nations and by imperium he means all the religious and
secular laws that are not public.

As indicated earlier, besides the very different
conception of what is public and what is private and
the relation between the two spheres, within the ordo
of ius there is also a hierarchy of kinds of law. We
turn to examine that now.

The highest part of the corpus of ius is the one
directly related to the things of fas as ius sacrum.
Ius publicum or ius sacrum is the highest level of law
within the ordo of ius.

Next in descending order is ius civile. For the most
part, what we moderns mean by law is what the Romans
regarded as ius civile. Next in descending order is
ius honorarium. Although ius honorarium is in
principle lower than ius civile, in practice,
especially during imperial times and outside the city
of Rome ius honorarium could go beyond and sometimes
supercede the higher ius civile where the latter was
inapplicable. It should be borne in mind though that
neither the ius honorarium nor the ius civile could
override or supercede the higher ius publicum
throughout the entire history of the pagan Roman
empire. The only time this occurs is when the emperor
Constans made the public pagan cult of Rome illegal.

Different kinds of religions have different kinds of
legal status in ancient Rome. Di indigetes patrii is
the highest legal classification of a religion or god.
Only the state supported Capitoline and Aventine cult
had this highest legal status because it is the
sacrosanct public cult (ius sacrum or ius publicum)
that is the foundation of the Roman state. All other
forms of religion have a lower nonpublic or private
legal classification. There are 3 classifications for
the status of any nonpublic and private cult in the
Roman empire.

First, below the public legal status of di indigetes
patrii is the civil legal status of di indigetes.
Both the domestic cult of the ancestors and the
imperial cult of the genius of the emperor are
examples of cults that have this next lowest legal
status (the imperial cult to the emperor�s genius was
an extension the domestic cult of the imperial
household, and thus, had the private kind of domestic
altar).

Second, all other imported religions from the very
early interpretatio graeca (i.e., the superimposed
interpretation of Roman religious practice in terms of
imported Greek mythology) of Roman religion, the
Mysteries of Bacchus, Cybele, Orphic Mysteries, Isis,
Serapis, to the Mysteries of Mithras and philosophy as
natural and philosophical theology (whether Platonic,
Aristotelian, or Stoic) have the civil status of divi
novensiles. Since all philosophy, as natural
theology, is legally only divi novensiles, this is
partly why Cato, when he was pontifex maximus, in his
dialogue with Cicero, could not and would not use the
legally lower philosophy to justify the legally higher
public cult. Philosophy was a lower divi novensiles
and thereby inapplicable to the higher matters of di
indigetes patrii.

Third, finally, if a cult was not recognized or was
officially condemned, it was religio illicita.
Caligula�s cult, and sometimes, Christianity, had this
status. After Constans banned the public pagan cult of
Rome, it became religio illicita. Later, when
Theodosius banned all pagan cults, paganism in any
form became religio illicita.

This brings us to the end of this brief outline as we
turn to briefly look at the legal change of status of
paganism in the late empire. Legally, ius publicum
regulating the college of pontiffs and the cult of the
di indigetes patrii was first declared superstitio and
religio illicita by Constans� lex constans, which was
in-corporated, re-ratified, and modified as sections
IX, 34, 5 and XVI, 10, 2 of the Codex theodosianus.
Theodosius� own decree that all civil and private
pagan cults, not just the former public cult of Rome,
are illegal is in section XVI, 10, 7 of Codex
theodosianus.

Salve

In order to razionalize a bit the mass of emails I'm getting and making it a
little easier to follow the over a dozen NR mailing-lists and mailing-groups
I'm now subscribed and in need of monitoring even when I'm not close to my own
computer, I've opened up an experimental gmail account for all my nova roma
mail.

Consequently, the address dom.con.fus@... WILL BE DISCONTINUED shortly,
even if I will still check on it for the coming couple of weeks to be sure
nothing will get lost before deleting it. So, for everyone who has that address
as my reference mail, please update your address books.

While dom.con.fus@... will be used FOR MAILING LIST PURPOSES, everybody
is
invited to use dom.con.fus@... for the purpose OF PRIVATE MAILS (not a
few of them...). That doesn't mean I shall not reply to private mails recieved
on the mailing lists account, but those recieved on the private mails will have
a higher priority and will have less chance of getting overlooked among the
mass mailing, as it has shamefully happened already a couple of times this
year.

To be said, this might all be temporary and reverse back to the old settings,
as
I've never personally used a gmail account before (even if everyone I've heard
about it assures me it's the perfect solution for mailing lists and high volume
mailings), and should it not prove to be satisfactory, I shall give another
warning about the reversal to the old address.

So, for what is relevant to Nova Roma population and in short, to reach me:

dom.con.fus@... is to be considered no longer active

dom.con.fus@... is the address to send your private inquires,
questions,
comments, requests, just about anything you might want to tell me as private
citizen and/or Tribunus.

Sorry for the inconveniences this might be causing, but this is being done to
serve NR more efficiently and I hope you shall understand.

Salvete omnes,

There is something I wish to address in public. My wish to do this is
from the fact that first of all I see matter as rather important one
and secondly as my Tribune colleague Marca Hortensia has asked each
Tribunus to express his views. This mail is about the intercessions
over the Ludi recently.

I apologise the late date of this mail, but I was until from Saturday
morning to Thursday evening visiting my relatives in the land of my
ancestors.

In my opinion the matter is clear and simple, but as numerous arguments
have raised I feel it necessary to explain my view in length. In short
I think that there was nothing wrong with the ludi of Aedile Serapio or
Aedile Sulla.

I think that the selection of language for any of these events is under
the powers of the aediles to decide. This justification comes from many
sources: There is tradition that these ludi events have been arranged
in English in at least the past four years time, which admittably is
not very long time, but a tradition still. Then there is the law about
languages which says, as Tribune Albucius himself has analysed here in
this list, that business-language is English in NR. Even while the law
expressively does not say that, I think it is more than reasonable to
interpret the law in the way that competitions can be arranged in
English. Then there are simply the constitutionally defined powers of
the Aediles.

What comes to the claim that constitution protects freedom of
expression and forbids excludement of any faction of population, that
view is correct, but I think that Tribune Albucius has overlooked the
fact that people who apply to the citizenship of NR (i.e. membership of
organisation) apply it conscious about the approved laws (i.e. rules),
and they know that business language is English in NR. The law that
states this is approved in democratic way within the laws (i.e. rules)
of NR and it is therefore legal as it is not against the constitution.

So in my point of view the question is about how one interprets those
laws that are legal and in that respect I hope I have shown my opinion
that I disagree with my colleague Albucius in this matter. Besides, as
it has been shown, the intercessio against Aedile Serapio's edict was
late.

What comes to the intercessio of Marca Hortensia I must thank her doing
it, but in the same sentance I have to say that I would have hoped that
she would have given a little more time to Tribune Albucius himself to
withdraw the intercessio as proofs started coming that he was wrong
with it.

On a personal note, I wish good luck for both the Aediles in their
Ludi, what a wonderful events there will be!

CFQ: VTI ROGAS: I should have asked questions during the week before.
But I really think it is a problem that we don't have any budget
debate/discussion. I would like to see the Consules during the next
year appoint a Budget Committee so at least some Senatores take the
Budget seriously in the future. Please forgive me that I missed to ask
some questions before the voting, still I feel I must ask some now.
What is the aim for the post "NR in Europe"? There seem to be an effort
for some outreach activity in Sodalitas Egressus. I am not sure if it
will cost any money. But I would like to know if it shouldn't have been
budgeted for in at least one of the two posts Recruitment and Outreach
effort? I must also point out that the Consules never consulted the
Censors about the expanses for the Census, something that should be
done! Nova Roma really need to create some stabile financial routines
when it comes to the Budget. The control of the budget is the strong
point of the Senate and we should take care of it properly! Still I
can't find any reason to vote against the budget. But in the future I
would like to see each point motivated, at least shortly

Salve o Consul


Looking to the last Senatus Consulta, i didnt saw a
replacement or prorrogation of a Propraetor for the
Provincia America Austrorientalis.
Is this correct? Is that province currently without a
Gubernator?

EX OFFICIO PROPRAETORIS THULES

Edictum propraetoricum 2758-III about tax collecting in Provincia Thule

It is again time to pay taxes (membership fees) in Nova Roma. Those who
have paid taxes will be counted as assidui and their votes will be
"worth" more than those who don't pay taxes. Only the assidui are be
able to hold central offices. Provincial positions will still be open
to all.

It has shown to be a quite complicated task to send taxes to the USA,
where the central treasury is. In accordance with the tradition in
Provincia Thules I have decided to give the citizens of Nova Roma
living in Provincia Thule the possibility that is decsribed in this
edictum.

Please observe that the following tax amount is the prevailing one: 8
Euro per person.

Please observe the following:

* that according to the law half of the taxes will be kept (or
retrieved back to Thule from USA for a separate cost) in the Provincial
Treasury for use in the Provincia.

* that all taxes (Annual Membership Fee) shall be in the central
Treasury by April 30th! This means that they must be in the hands of
the Legati at least by April 20th.

*any citizen that pay their taxes later than the 30th of April will
have to pay a inceased amount of +50% according to the law (persons who
have become citizens this year are excempted).

1. Every citizen that would like to pay their taxes should contact
their Legatus and send their taxes to the Legatus, as the cost of
sending the taxes directly to the Central Treasury is very high for
those without PayPal account, and by using the Legatus to collect the
money, each Regio (country) will pay just one transfer fee.

2. The Legati will have to send the collected taxes of the Regio to the
Propraetor at the latest at the 23rd of April. Each Legatus shall also
send a notification at the same time to the Propraetor with the (Roman
and real) name and e-mail address (or snail mail address) of each
citizen for which he has paid taxes.

3. The Proconsul shall after that send these collected taxes by PayPal
to the central Treasury.

4. All account numbers of the Legati that are needed will be sent
privately, as soon as possible, to each citizen that require such by
the Legatus of the Regio in question.

5. Each citizen, who follows the recommendations in this edict, will
get a confirmation that her/his taxes are paid from the central
treasury and from the Propraetor.

6. Citizens may also handle the payment of their taxes for themselves
(even though that is more expensive). In such cases the Central
Treasury is asked to pay back 50% to the Provincial Aerarium after 30th
of April. In the Regions without appointed Legatus, the only option is
to pay directly to Central Treasury.

7. This edictum becomes effective immediately.

Why not ? It's a great honour for us. And Dacia has a lot of wonderful places. Think about at Ulpia Traiana, Alburnus Maior, Castrum Porolissum, Trophaeum Trajani and why not, the Dracula's Castle and fortress, or maybe Sighisoara ( Sachsburg ) the last living fortress.
2006 ( 11 august ) is a very important year from us. We celebrate 1900 years from the Dacia conquest, how the Military Diploma from Porolissum describe that.

I would like to thank you from all my soul for doing us such a great
honor of dedicating the Ludi Megalenses to Provincia Dacia.
May all the gods bless you and fill you with happiness as you filled
our hearts with honor.

I might be of interest the quirites that Lex Arminia de Ministris

http://www.novaroma.org/tabularium/leges/2004-06-02-iii.html states
that all appointee by a Governor cease to be counted as appointees of
the successor when the new Governor takes power.

This means that my successor Caius Curius Saturninus, Tribunus Plebis

his own Propraetorial Cohors with total freedom.

I wish my successor Caius Curius Saturninus all luck as Propraetor of

I offer my sympathy to all Christian Nova Romans, and all who are feeling the
loss of an extraordinary world leader.

Also, I particularly ask all citizens to honor the grief of those who have
lost someone very dear to them. This is no time for diatribes.

It has been a long time since I left the fold. But I am much moved
by the Holy Father's passing. I admired him for his strength of
convication, his dedication, and his compassion though I did not
agree with many things. I think this is a testament to the
greatness of the man, to his general virtues, that my heart feels
great sadness at this time.

Levavi oculos meos in montes unde veniet auxilium mihi.
Auxilium meum a Domino qui fecit caelum et terram.
Non det in commotionem pedem tuum neque dormitet qui custodit te.
Ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet qui custodit Israhel.
Dominus custodit te Dominus protectio tua super manum dexteram tuam.
Per diem sol non uret te neque luna per noctem.
Dominus custodit te ab omni malo custodiat animam tuam Dominus.
Dominus custodiat introitum tuum et exitum tuum ex hoc nunc et usque
in saeculum.

Salvete!
Don't forget, you modern types, to move your clocks
one hour ahead tonight. FYI: the ancient Romans did
things a bit different. They had year round 12 hours
daylight and 12 hours night. They just adjusted the
length of those hours. Longer days - the 12 hours were
longer; shorter nights - the 12 hours were shorter.
Shorter days - the 12 hours were shorter; longer
nights - the 12 hours were longer.

Hello Nova Roma:

Not yet a citizen, I feel compelled to express my sadness in the passing,
and great respect for the memory of John Paul II. For two thousand years,
in good times and harsh, hailed and oft assailed, the Church has kept alive
many much of the cultural heritage of Rome. His Holiness led us down a path
of tolerance and acceptance of people of other faiths and creeds when most
needed, the first Pope to visit Israel and the Patriarch in Greece in
centuries. As was said of Lincoln, we may say of John Paul, "he now belongs
to the ages". He epitomized the teachings or Christ and pointed us down a
road, "quo pax et gloria (true glory) ducunt"! The road where peace and
real glory lead. Tolerance and compassion.

Your attention, please!

Megalesia are closer and closer!
The Ludi in honour of our Magna Mater are going to start, and we
want to celebrate them in the best way. Tomorrow they will start
with the religious caerimonia.

I'm going to briefly explain the expected activities:

-Ludi Scaenici: it will be proposed in our theatre the palliated
comedy "Andria" by Publius Terentius Afer, as translated by Henry
Thomas Riley. This was the first play of the african playwright, and
his first great success in Rome (166 BC).

"Sine Cerere et Baccho friget Venus"

-Certamen Historicum: not a news: every day a hard historical
question, a classification and the best, well-known historian among
us will be proclamed the last day of Ludi Megalenses.
Send your answers only at: cn_corn_lent@...

-Venationes: an animal, a gladiator and a tactic. To survive.
To subscribe just send a mail to: iulius_sabinus@...

-Munera Gladiatoria: as above, but the blood will be just the
gladiators' one.
iulius_sabinus@...

-Ludi Circenses: many drivers facing eachother, assassinations,
sabotage and glory for the faster, and the best Factio!
To subscribe:
qsalixcant@...

-Cultural award: a literary contest about the battle of Trasimenus'
Lake, where Hannibal defeated for the third time the Roman Army.
Send your woks at:
iulius_sabinus@...

-Rhetorical Poetry Contest: a news. Here you can discuss
your "favourite Civis" that has or has had any office in Nova Roma,
elected or appointed. His behaviour, his style,Â…everything! Very,
very intriguing! Not open to political struggle!
Send your work at Pompeia:
trog99@...

To see, to ask, to play, just visit our website:

http://www.cohorssullana.grafosystem.ro/

During the Ludi, to the participants Cecubo and Falerno wine will be
distributed, for your joy!

Tomorrow will start the Megalesia organized by Aedilis Curulis L. Iulius Sulla and his Cohors. I have been chosen by Aedilis L. Iulius Sulla to lead the CERTAMEN HISTORICUM, the historical contest of Ludi Megalenses in honour of our Magna Mater.

Here are the rules of Certamen Historicum:
http://www.cohorssullana.grafosystem.ro/rules.htm

And here follows the 1st question for Certamen Historicum:

QUAESTIO N°1 - The full name of Magna Mater was ’Mater Deum Magna Idaea’ but often called also just ’Mater Idaea’. What is the source of Her epithet ’Idaea’?


All the answers have to be posted at the following email:
cnaeus_cornelius@...

The winners (first, second and third best) will be visualized with their official NR-portrait, and with their names and places they have win in the Certamen Historicum, in to the Aedilis CurulisÂ’ website so that everybody can see who are the most studious history-lovers in Nova Roma: LetÂ’s go historians!

Let the Phyrgian rites commence!
The Septemvir and the Curulis Aedilis Lucius Iulius Sulla,
followed by the chief heireia Iulia Caesaris and another heireia
clad in coloured Phyrgian robes and the chief Gallos in purple with
long hair and a golden crown, and the nymph-like Galloi process into
the temple and up to the altar of Magna Mater with song "Khaireomen,
o philoi - Rejoice o friends".

The offerings and sacrificial implements are carried around the
altar. Then, placing the statue of the Great Mother on a litter,
with
singing and amphorae they process down the temple staircase to the
piazza, where there is a large fountain and basin, for the ritual
washing of the Mother. The water is sanctified, with smoldering wood
from the altar fire. The statue is rubbed with ask and bathed in the
lustral water. The attendants fill the jars to return to the front
of
the temple where the hands of the worshippers are washed with
lustral
water, which is sprinkled over the sacrificial heifer, the 'moretum'
offfering and the altar.

The chief Gallos whispers into the ear of Lucius Iulius Sulla,
so as to make no mistakes, the words so he invites the gods: "Hear,
receiving the sacrifice and rejoicing in the rite. Hail children of
Jupiter! Grant lovely song and celebrate the holy race of the
deathless gods who are for ever."

The priestess Cocceia slowly and carefully recites the hymn in
honour
of the Mother of the Gods, while the galloi and the priestesses sing
and play on drums and flutes and pipes:

"Sing to me, O Muse, clear-voiced daughter of great Zeus,
Of the mother of all gods and all men.
In the din of rattles and drums and in the sounds of pipes
she delights. In the howl of wolves and the roar of
glaring
lions,
in resounding mountains and wooded glens she finds her
joy.
Farewell! And you and all the godesses delight in my
song."

The chief Gallos: "To you, o blessed ones, we bring a libation and a
sacrifice, accept from us this sacrifice of all kinds of fruits,
poured out abundantly."

The participants scatter a few grains of wheat into the fire and
drops of lustral water on the unblemished heifer's head.

With the knife the Aedile cuts a bit of hair from the heifer's
forehead and throws it into the fire, the heifer is tied gently to
the altar, her gentle mein shows she goes willingly. The vicimarii
stun the heifer and cut her throat, the blood spills on the altar
while the women ululate with shrill cries.

A portion of the offering is set aside for the gods by the chief
Gallos: "Come propitiously, blessed ones, and accept the delightful
offerings" and burned, the first and last for Vesta, then the Great
Mother, the rest is cooked and distributed among the people.

A portion of the offerings, moretum and wine are poured onto the
fire.

They return into the sanctuary and close with the chief Gallos: "Let
us rejoice in the company of the gods!"

Worshippers: "Let us rejoice!"

All now sing "Ie Paion" and play their drums, flutes and cymbals...


The Pompa

The cult statue with the face of black stone is placed in a carriage
drawn by lions, this is placed on a litter and the Galloi bearing
the
saving image of Cybele exit the temple and process down the Palatine
through the hills of Rome.

The atmosphere is incredible. The crowds line the streets to see the
litter of the Great Mother, the preserver of Rome. First, they hear
the thumping drums, then the clashing cymbals, skirling flutes and
the procession comes! The eunuch priests of Magna Mater are dancing,
throwing their long hair about. In their long bright dresses, with
the sun glinting on their earrings and bracelets and the immense
pectoral on their breast; they appear as from another world.

Exuding a perfume, some bear the litter others dance and beg coins
for the Great Mother. The priestesses howl, dance and drum wildly on
the tympana, the sound is thunder, the hollow cymbals resound, the
horns blast with raucous song, while the hollow pipes stimulate the
mind with their Phyrgian mode.

They all sing madly hymns to the Great Mother:
"O Mother of Dindymene, Mother of the gods, Great Idean Mother,
Phrygian Mother
Ancestral goddess whom we worship with ecstacy and song!
The Carthaginians were near,
but your holy statue was brought by the noblest men and
women to the city on the Tiber,
placed in the Temple of Victory, and you gave the
children of Aeneas victory!
The fruitful fields groaned from the heavy harvest of your
blessing. O Great protectress of Rome!"

In a shower of rose petals, the procession which all Rome has come
to
see makes its way down the steps of the temple, the clivi, the
hills,
to the Circus Maximus that the games may be viewed under the very
gaze of Magna Mater.

Salvete Omnes,
I'm not catholic and I'm not a religious man, but I think all the
world should cry the death of a great man which will be remembered in
the history for his clementia and intelligence.
Karol Wojtilya wasn't not the Catholic Pope, he was champion of peace,
friendship between religions, dialogue between cultures and humanity.
He was anti-communist, anti-fascist and anti-capitalism, he was anti-
war and he work for a better world moving the Catholic Church to the
future and protecting his religious tradition in the same time.
I embrass all the catholics here and all the people admiring the Pope
John Paul II. We all should pray our own Gods for a great man running
now in the his Campi Elisi!

AVE NOVAROMANI !

Talking about victories is a commonly discussion,even so ,we forget that defeats
have their specific contribution in the making of such an experience.
This year's subject consists in analyzing this kind of matter. And this
matter altogether with similar ones contributed in the year 204 BC to the
bringing forth of the Magna Matter Cult in Rome.
Those of you who will have the ability to illustrate in their essays the
historical context,the miliary strategic elements and the dramatic nature of the
events, as well as their consequences as reported to the Magna Matter Cult,
shall be declared by the most honorable judge comittee the winners of Megalesia
Cultural Award 2758.

THE BATTLE OF TRASIMENUS
In the early morning of June 24, 217 b.C., under a thick layer of fog, the best
part of the Roman Army was already stationed in the plains. Hannibal had
positioned his light cavalry and the Celts at the entrance to the valley to
block any possible Roman retreat; the Libyans and Iberians protected his camp;
the Balearics and Asiati closed the way to the hill of Montigeto. Hannibal gave
orders that they should all attack at the same time. The battle continued for
three hours, and 15,000 Roman soldiers who sought escape in the waters of the
lake were killed.

Do you want more.....?
