Salve Tite Iuli,

You're most welcome. Don't worry about the "hon" thing. Where I
live, it's ubiquitous for waitresses in restaurants to call everyone
who walks in the door "hon." It's such a Baltimore area joke that
there's even a Cafe Hon in Baltimore. I get called "hon" all the time.

Salve,

I had a very interesting dream last night. I thought I might share
it so that anyone who knows about/likes dream interpretation might
take a shot at an interpretation. (You may interpret based on
psychology/religion/spiritual belief...Id be interested either way.)

Also, NR was a theme.


It began as such:

I stood before a path. With me was my father, and a member of NR.
The member of NR was a gray haired gentleman and I had the
impression that he was wise and respected. This was not a
representation of any real person I know, just some creation of my
mind.

The path lead up a mountain/hill towards some place the NR gentleman
wanted to show me. I had no feeling towards why my father was
present, only that he was there with me.

Before we began up the path the NR gentleman gave me a warning, he
said that the path was filled with danger. He said to be vigilant.

We began walking up the path, I in the lead with my father and the
gentleman behind. I had not been walking for long before I noticed a
rattlesnake ahead of me (this was a western diamond back, as is
common here where I live)

I carefully moved around the snake and continued along the path.
Then another rattlesnake was before me. I moved around this one as
well. I turned around a bend in the path...and in front of me the
path was covered in rattlesnakes, hundreds of them writhing along
the ground and around the rocks.

I turned around and looked at my father and the gentleman. They both
looked back at me expectantly and said nothing. So, I turned back
around and continued along the path...the snakes hissed and writhed
but I did not step on any of them, and none of them struck at me.

After a while I came to the top of the hill, the end of the path.
There was a small white building perhaps forty feet high, with a
domed roof.

I entered the building with my father and the gentleman. The floor
of the building was earth, and on the floor was another rattlesnake.
This snake was very large, and I knew that it was very old and also
female. (as you sometimes simply know things in dreams) The
gentleman bent down close to the snake and bid me to do the same. I
did, and the gentleman told me to watch. As I did so the snake
slowly shed its skin and then slithered away.

The gentleman then stood up and indicated it was time to leave. As
we left the building, I looked up and saw that the inside of the
dome was covered in iron plates, and upon each of these plates was a
word in latin. (though certainly these words were actually
gibberish, they represented latin words that I did not recognize in
the dream)

I led us all back down the path, which was still covered in
snakes...which again did not strike me.

At the end of the path was a lake. The gentleman told me to swim in
it. I jumped in and when I came to the surface the gentleman was
gone, and my father told me it was time to leave. Sometime after
that I awoke.

End


Now, if anyone is interested Id like to see a serious
interpretation. Otherwise please ignore the post. If anyone
interested needs to ask any questions before taking a stab at an
interpretation, feel free to email me and I will answer.


Vale,

M. Hirtius Ahenobarbus

Happy New Year Triarius!

M. Moravius Piscinus Horatianus Quiritibus et omnibus salutem
plurimam dicit: Salvete vosque bona Strenia auctet ope

Hodie est Kalendae Decembriae; haec dies nefastus est: DIE QUINTI TE
KALO, IUNO COVELLA: natalis Vediovi; natalis Aesculapi; Streniae

"A prosperous day dawns: favour our thoughts and speech!
Let auspicious words be said on this auspicious day." ~ Ovid, Fasti
1.71-72

"Janus, You begin each fleeting year, and renew the long ages
wherever You appear, though vows and incense are piously first
offered to You, and the consuls begin each year by laying offerings
at Your feet." ~ Martial 8.8.1-5

The New Year began with the Auspici Magistratum, where the consuls
took the auspices for the coming year at the Auguralium on the Arx.
Moving past the Temple of Vediovis the consuls next offered
sacrifices to Jupiter at the Capitolium and made vows for the welfare
of the City before calling upon the Senate to formally seek its
advice.

After AUC 600 (153 BCE), when magistrates first began to take office
on 1 January rather than 1 March, certain traditions for the New Year
were transferred to this day as well. One was a procession that led
from the sacellum of Strenia at the head of the Via Sacra up to the
Arx where the consuls took their auspices. The consuls would have
begun preparing shortly after midnight, then gone to the Arx to await
sunrise for taking the first signs of day. Symmachus tells us that
the procession from Strenia's shrine was conducted just before
sunrise, and thus it may have conducted as an escort for the
inauguration of the consuls. In this procession sacred twigs from
Her grove were carried. The tradition was said to have gone back to
the days when Tatius was king with Romulus (Symmachus, epistle
10.35). The twigs could therefore have been the Sabine herb juniper,
which was used for purification rituals. Friends exchanged gifts,
called strenae, as a way of passing on wishes of prosperity and good
fortune for the New Year.

"Omens attend upon beginnings." ~ Ovid, Fasti 1.178


"Latona's grandson, revered Aesculapis, by whose mild herbal remedies
too briefly are the Fates beguiled." ~Martial 9.17

AUC 460 / 293 BCE: Arrival of Aesculapius

"The year had been a happy one in many ways, but this was hardly
adequate consolation for the one major disaster: the plague that
raged through town and countryside alike. The devastation it caused
was thought to be an evil omen, and thus the Sibylline Oracles were
consulted to find what limits or remedy the Gods proposed for it
ravages. The Books revealed that Aesculapius must be summoned from
Epidaurus to Rome; however because the consuls were busy engaged in a
war, nothing was done about it that year except that one day was set
aside for a supplicatio for the God." ~ Titus Livius 10.47.6

"When the people suffered from a plague, envoys were sent to bring a
statue of Aesculapius from Epidaurus to Rome. They brought with them
a snake that had joined them in the ship, and which no doubt was a
manifestation of the god; from the ship, it went to the island in the
Tiber, to the place where the temple of Aesculapius has been
erected." ~ Titus Livius, Perioche 11.3


AUC 559 / 194 BCE: Insula Temple of Vediovis

L. Furius Purpureo vowed a temple for Vediovis during his victory
over the Carthaginians under Hamilcar and their Gallic allies at
Cremona in 200 BCE (Livy 31.21). The temple was then dedicated six
years later on the Insula in (Livy 34.53).


AUC 865 / 112 CE: Dedication of Trajan's Forum.

AUC 946 / 193 CE: Ascension of Pertinax.


Today's thought is from Titus Livius 45.8.7:

"At length he will become a man of virtue whose mind is neither
carried away in good times nor is disheartened by adversity."

M. Moravius Piscinus Horatianus Consul: Patribus Mátribusque
Conscriptís, Populo Novo Romano, Quiritibus omnibusque: salutem
plurimam dicit:


Annum novum bonum faustum felicem!


In accordance with the tradition begun by Consul Cn. Salvius Astur on
the Kalendae Ianuariae MMDCCLVII and continued in the following years
by Consules C. Popillius Laenas, K. Fabius Buteo Modianus, and L.
Arminius Faustus, notice is hereby given that later today I shall
perform the annual Consular Sacrificial Ceremony offered to the Di
Immortales in the following manner.


SACRIFICIUM ANNUAE SACRAE



I. INITIUM


Praeco dicit:

"Hoc agite! Ite procul, sacer est locus, ite profani!"

Lictor dicit:

"Hostis vinctus, puer, virgo exesto!"


II. PRAEFATIO

The Consul washes his hands in preparation for the Praefatio:

"Haec aqua a corpore impuritates eluat, ut pluvial aera purgat!"

(May this water cleanse my body of impurities, as the rain cleanses
the air.)

Praeco dicit:

"Adeste dique hominesque sacris. Procul hinc, procul ite nocentes si
cui corde nefas tacitum fessique senectus longa patris, si quis
pulsatae conscius umquam matris et inferna rigidum timet Aeacon urna:
insontes castosque voco."

(Come, be present, Gods and men, to these holy rites. Begone, you
wicked folk, begone far from here, all whose hearts harbor unspoken
an unholy desire, any who thinks their elderly relatives have lived
too long, or you who are conscious of ever having struck your own
mother, fear the urn of unbending Aeacus in the Underworld. I call
only upon the innocent and the chaste.)

Consul dicit:

"Pro Senatu Novo Romano, ego, M. Moravius Piscinus Horatianus Consul
dico, edico:"

(For the Senate and People of Nova Roma, I, Marcus Moravius Piscinus
Horatianus, the Consul say and announce:)

"Iane pater, te hoc ture commovendo bonas preces precor, uti sies
volens propitius mihi et Senatui Populoque Novo Romano."

(Father Ianus, by offering this incense to You I pray good prayers,
so that You may be propitious to me and the Senate and People of Nova
Roma.)

Incense is placed in the focus of the altar.

"Mars pater, te hoc ture commovendo bonas preces precor, uti sies
volens propitius mihi et Senatui Populoque Novo Romano."

(Father Mars, by offering this incense to You I pray good prayers, so
that You may be propitious to me and the Senate and People of Nova
Roma.)

Incense is placed in the focus of the altar.

"Quirine pater, te hoc ture commovendo bonas preces precor, uti sies
volens propitius mihi et Senatui Populoque Novo Romano."

(Father Quirinus, by offering this incense to You I pray good
prayers, so that You may be propitious to me and the Senate and
People of Nova Roma.)

Incense is placed in the focus of the altar.

"Iane pater, uti te ture commovendo bonas preces bene precatus sum,
eiusdem rei ergo macte vino inferio esto."

(Father Ianus, as by offering to You the incense virtuous prayers
were well prayed, for the sake of this be honored by this small
portion of wine.)

Libation of wine is made.

"Mars pater, uti te ture commovendo bonas preces bene precatus sum,
eiusdem rei ergo macte vino inferio esto."

(Father Mars, as by offering to You the incense virtuous prayers were
well prayed, for the sake of this be honored by this small portion of
wine.)

Libation of wine is made.

"Quirine pater, uti te ture commovendo bonas preces bene precatus
sum, eiusdem rei ergo macte vino inferio esto."

(Father Quirinus, as by offering to You the incense virtuous prayers
were well prayed, for the sake of this be honored by this small
portion of wine.)

Libation of wine is made.



III. PRECATIO


Hands are washed in preparation for the Precatio:

"Haec aqua a corpore impuritates eluat, ut pluvial aera purgat!"

(May this water cleanse my body of impurities, as the rain cleanses
the air.)

"Iuppiter Optime Maxime, uti tibi in illeis libreis scriptum est,
quarumque rerum ergo, quodque melius siet populo Novo Romano
Quiritibus, tibi hoc sacrum fiat: te quaeso precorque, uti imperium
maiestatemque populi Novi Romani Quiritium auxis, utique
incolumitatem sempiternamque victoriam valetudinemque populo Novo
Romano Quiritibus des, faveasque populo Novo Romano Quiritibus,
Remque Publicam Liberam populi Novi Romani Quiritium salvam serves,
maioremque facias, uti sis volens propitius populo Novo Romano
Quiritibus, Senatui Novo Romano, sacerdotibus populi Novi Romani,
nobis, domibus, familiis, et uti huius sacrifici acceptor sies; harum
rerum ergo macte esto fito volens propitius populo Novo Romano
Quiritibus, Senatui Novo Romano, sacerdotibus Novis Romanis, nobis,
domibus, familiis."

(Jupiter Optimus Maximus, as it is prescribed for You in the (sacred)
books – and for this reason may good fortune attend the people of
Nova Roma, the Quirites – let sacrifice be made to You. I ask and I
pray that You may increase the imperium and majesty of the people of
Nova Roma, the Quirites; and that You may grant eternal safety,
victory and health to the people of Nova Roma, the Quirites; and that
You may protect the people of Nova Roma, the Quirites; and that You
may keep safe and make greater the Free Republic of the people of
Nova Roma, the Quirites, and that You may be favorable and propitious
to the people of Nova Roma, the Quirites, to the Senate of Nova Roma,
to the priests and priestesses of the people of Nova Roma, to us, to
our homes, and to our households; and that You may accept this
sacrifice. For these reasons may You become strengthened and honored
with this sacrifice, may You become favorable and propitious to the
people of Nova Roma, the Quirites, to the Senate of Nova Roma, to the
priests and priestesses of the people of Nova Roma, to ourselves, to
our homes, and to our households.)

"Iuppiter, quo circa te, Capitoline, quem propter beneficia populus
Romanus Optimum, propter vim Maximum nominavit! Iuppiter, qui genus
colis alisque hominem, per quem vivimus vitalem aevom, quem penes
spes vitae sunt hominum omnium, da diem hunc sospitem quaeso meis
rebus agundis!"

(O Jupiter Capitolinus, to You I pray, I entreat You, who the Roman
people have named Optimus after Your kindness and Maximus after Your
great power. O Jupiter, who does cherish and nurture the human race,
through whom we live and draw the breath of life, in whom rest the
hopes and lives of all humankind, come now to this place, bless it in
happiness, illuminated in Your divine radiance, venerated and made
holy by Your presence.)

"Pater noster, in tua, pater carissime, in tua sumus custodia.
Iuppiter, te hoc ture ommovendo bonas preces praecor, uti sis volens
propitius nobis liberisque nostris, domibus familiisque nostris."

(Our Father, in You, dearest Father, in Your hands do we place our
safekeeping. Jupiter, in offering to You this incense I pray good
prayers that You may favor us, our children, our homes and our
households.)

"Iuppiter, te hoc libo obmovendo bonas preces precor, uti sis volens
propitius nobis liberisque nostris, domibus familiisque nostris,
mactus hoc ferto."

(Jupiter, in offering You this libum bread I pray good prayers in
order that, pleased with this offering of libum bread, You may be
favorable to us and our children, to our homes and our households.)

"Iovis pater, uti te libo obmovendo bonas preces bene precatus sum,
eiusdem rei ergo macte vino inferio esto."

(Father Jupiter, for the same reasons given when offering to You
libum bread with good prayers, may You be warmed by this small
portion of our wine.)

"Iuppiter Optime Maxime, rex Deorum, qui res publicas Novas Romanas
nunc custodis defendisque, sicut res publicas maiorum nostrorum
Romanorum custodivisti defendistique, tibi fieri oportet in hoc
tempore initii culignam vini dapi, eius rei ergo hac illace dape
pullucenda esto."

(Iuppiter Best and Greatest, King of the Gods, who protects and
defends the public affairs of Nova Roma just as He protected and
defended the public affairs of our Roman fathers, to You it is proper
for a cup of wine to be given in this time of beginning, for the sake
of this thing may You be honored by this feast offering.)

Libation of wine is made.

"Iuno, regina Deorum, quae materne nunc Senatum Populumque Novum
Romanum nutris, sicut Senatum Populumque Romanum in tempore maiorum
nostrorum nutrivisti, tibi fieri oportet in hoc tempore initii
culignam vini dapi, eius rei ergo hac illace dape pullucenda esto."

(Iuno, queen of the Gods, who maternally nurtures the Senate and
People of Nova Roma just as She nurtured the Senate and People of
Rome in the time of our fathers, to You it is proper for a cup of
wine to be given in this time of beginning, for the sake of this
thing may You be honored by this feast offering.)

Libation of wine is made.

"Minerva, sapientia aeterna, quae recte res publicas Novas Romanas
ducis, sicut res publicas maiorum nostrorum Romanorum duxisti, tibi
fieri oportet in hoc tempore initii culignam vini dapi, eius rei ergo
hac illace dape pullucenda esto."

(Minerva, eternal wisdom, who rightly guides the public affairs of

Salve Romulus,
I forwarded your request of help to the Vrbs, the groups of nova romans living in Rome, I'm sure they would support you asap.
In any way for the accomodation there are several cheap hotels and b&b in the center of the city like close the Termini rail station or Piazza della Repubblica or San Giocvanni in Laterano. A friend of mine have apartements close the Colosseum, they are very cheap and comfortable, visit http://www.touristhouserome.com Yopu could find further accomodation surfing on the web and I suggest you http://en.venere.com/hotels_rome/
for the lines you'll find them at the entry of the most famous places in Rome. For the Vatican Museums you have to book them and you have to wait for more than a morning in lines. The entry to the colosseum, Palatine, Domus Aurea, Thermes and other fora the lines are very short and fast. But I would suggest you to contact the novaromans living in Rome to obtain information about further touristic places to visit.

Vale

I was hoping people here could help me on making the most of my time
and seeing the greatest of the remnants of ancient Rome. I just read
Cicero I so have a good start on memorizing the Forum layout.

I'd really like advice on cheap places to stay (owned by Italians if
possible).

Also, best way to see things without standing in lines for hours (best
tour guides?)

Anything would be appreciated as I doubt I will be back to the capitol
of the world again. Personal emails best.

Thanks

While far from the resident expert on life in Rome, I do spend several months a year there so, here goes:

An location where weekly or monthly rents are not outrageous is in the St. Paul area just off the Via Marconi and just across the Tiber. Subway and bus connections are right off the corner from the St. Paul basilica and Via Marconi with some excellent "local flavor" restaurants are within walking distance.

Close subway stops include the colosseum and the circus maximus and a quick change at Termini gets you to the Vatican quite quickly. As a rule, the farther north and west you go in the city environs, the more expensive the rents and hotels. Center city is simply outrageous but bargains can be found if you have the time to spend.

South is a different matter, with some bargain bedsits available in the Roma-Trastevere station area off Via Trastevere and just a block from Via Marconi. Again, you have to hunt. If your Italian is good enough to get you by some basic conversation, I suggest you try churches in the area, talk to the priest....they'll usually know someone in the parish who has rooms to rent.

Then there's the monastery stays. Some can be quite expensive but an investigation is worth the trouble if you are looking for an extended stay.

If the center is too strong a magnet, try conversing with some of the lay docents who patrol the porches of the major tourist churches and basilicas. Chances are they know someone with rooms to let.

Enjoy the greatest city in the world.

CURULE AEDILE P. Memmius Albucius edict(n° 61-01)
concerning the Equites and the Macellum


I, Publius Memmius Albucius, aedilis curulis, by the authority vested
by the constitution, the laws and the Senate of Nova Roma, and in
view of lex Arminia de ratione edictis a.d. VIII Kal. Dec. 2755
a.u.c.,

In order to allow the Equites to carry on their operations inside our

suffering any damageable undue interruption in their activities, the
following rules are edicted.

Article 1

The edicts issued by previous aediles curules, and relative to the
Macellum and to the authorization granted to duly registered Equites
to conduct any trade operations in this frame, are temporarily
extended.

Article 2

In case of absence of such edicts, the current situation is
temporalily supposed to be in accordance with novaroman law.

Article 3

A further aedilician edict will define, modify or confirm the legal
frame of the Macellum and the list of the citizens authorized to use
it for their private business.

Article 4

Every novaroman public officer and her/his departement must, as far
as each one is concerned, enforce the present edict, which will be

SALVETE!

Is the privilege of Consul Maior, Marcus Moravius, to perform the
annual Consular Sacrificial Ceremony.
As Consul Minor I want to thank him because he continued that
wonderful tradition started three years ago and more than that, I'm
near him with my soul, my heart and my great desire to have in this
year, an important one for Nova Roma, because its 10th anniversary
celebration, a year with great successes in all domains of activity.
My thoughts are going to this year magistrates, with the hope that,
we will be able together to move the things on, through good
cooperation, first trying to fulfill our duties as best as possible
we can.
My thoughts are going to you, Quirites, with the hope that,
together, through your active participation in all Nova Roma areas
of interest, we will be able to continue what was started ten years
ago, to improve in better way our common dream and to transform it,
step by step, in reality.
My thoughts are going to the new citizens and I pray to the Gods to
give them the best inspiration to understand the Nova Roma's
purposes, to stay near us, in the same line, with the great desire
to contribute to the common effort to keep alive this miracle
started 2761 years ago near the Tiber's bank.

Quirites!

I know that in these moments you still enjoy the New Year vacation.
Let's not forget them, who from a reason or another, in this time,
perform their duties with honor.
A special thought must going to our husbands and wives, brothers and
sisters, sons and daughters, friends and comrades, involved in
missions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan or other foreign lands.
From the bottom of our hearts, today, we thank you and we wish you a
happy new year. We pray to Gods for your healthy and victorious
return home!

VALETE,

Valetudo quod fortuna omnes;

Though the new Year of the City does not begin until March, my term in
office did begin today and my status as Assidui expired at midnight.

So, I have sent in my payment for the taxes for myself and my wife
Annia Ulleria Machinatrix; if the rate is adjusted up, I shall pay the
difference at that time.

I should like to urge all other cives to support our mutual effort thusly.

Correct. Romanian and French versions of the oath are necessary in

Hello new and former Praetores!

I've just posted through the yahoogroups site and I received a message
that my post needed to be moderated. I'm sure that is an error because
only new members or troublesome ones who've received more than one
official warning from the Praetores would be on moderation and I am of
course neither of the above.

Please remove me from moderation and feel free to 'kill' this post
since it is not necessary for everyone on the ML to see it.

Thanks in advance and best regards!

The best of luck to you all in 2008!
Joanne (Diana Octavia Aventina)

Salvete all,

Just a few comments:
1) Re Drusus: Since he was treated so badly on this list, he would
not want his name even mentioned here. So we should respect his
wishes.

2)In defence of Maiora: I don't know what the big deal is. She has
always had a big mouth, so why the big bother now? Besides that, IF
the Praetors thought that Maiora was overdoing it, they should have
given her a warning, etc. and then if needed put her on moderation.
Instead I saw 2 Praetors joining in the mud slinging. A bit of a
conflict of interest there when they accepted Marinus' petitio.

In any case, I would now give the Biggest Potty Mouthed Female Award
to Minucia.

3) Trigger happy Tribunes! It will be a fun year!

4) A few people left the list because of the arguing: Go join a
Roman fluffy bunny list. The true Romans stay, get bashed in the
head a few hundred times and come back for more.

5) Pagans vs Christians and Christian vs Pagan arguments: This
happens regularly. Just for the record, I have read all of the ML
emails just to keep up with who hates whom :-)

6) Brawls on the mainlist have always taken a certain pattern:
-arguing, name calling, people defending their friends, a few
sensible posts, and then someone threatening petitio.
-Then come the 'apologies that aren't really apologies".
- Next comes the silly posts, where those involved in the arguing
try to prove that they are really just fun lovin' Nova Romans after
all (for example, the South Park and Ra Ra Ra posts).

Nova Roma! Gotta love it!!

Valete,

- As outspoken as Maiora and Minucia, but hopefully a bit more

thinking that it is time that I rounded up the boys.

M. Moravius Piscinus Horatianus Quiritibus et omnibus salutem
plurimam dicit: Di vos inculumes custodiant

Hodie est ante diem IIII Nonas Ianuarias; haec dies fastus aterque
est:

"Whence should I invoke You, Pudicitia, chief buttress of men and
women alike? You dwell in the hearth consecrated to Vesta by ancient
religion, You watch over the sacred couch of Juno Capitolina, You
never leave Your post on the pinnacle of the Palatine, the august
habitation, and the most holy marriage bed of Iulia Augusta. By Your
protection the emblems of boyhood are defended, by reverence for Your
divinity the flower of youth remains intact, under Your guardianship
the matron's robe is appraised. Come, therefore, and hear of thing
that Yourself ordained." ~ Valerius Maximus 6.1 praef.


"In what way, then, can land be most profitably cultivated? Why, in
the words of our agricultural oracles, 'by making good out of bad.'
But here it is only right that we should say a word in justification
of our forefathers, who in their precepts on this subject had nothing
else in view but the benefit of mankind: for when they use the
term "bad" here, they only mean to say that which costs the smallest
amount of money. The principal object with them was in all cases to
cut down expenses to the lowest possible sum; and it was in this
spirit that they made the enactments which pronounced it criminal for
a person who had enjoyed a triumph, to be in possession, among his
other furniture, of ten pounds' weight of silver plate: which
permitted a man, upon the death of his farm steward, to abandon all
his victories, and return to the cultivation of his lands - such
being the men the culture of whose farms the state used to take upon
itself; and thus, while they led our armies, did the senate act as
their steward.

"It was in the same spirit, too, that those oracles of ours have
given utterance to these precepts, to the effect that he is a bad
agriculturalist who has to buy what his farm might have supplied him
with; that he is a bad manager who does in the day-time what he might
have done at night, except, indeed, when the state of the weather
does not allow it; that he is a worse manager still, who does on a
work day what he might have done on a feast day; but that he is the
very worst of all, who works under the cover of fine weather, instead
of laboring in the fields." ~ Plinius Secundus, Historia Naturalis
18.8

"Nay even on holy days some tasks to ply
Is right and lawful: this no ban forbids,
To turn the runnel's course, fence corn-fields in,
Make springes for the birds, burn up the briars,
And plunge in wholesome stream the bleating flock."
~ Vergilius Maro, Georgic 1. 268-273


For today's thought we turn to Epicurius, Vatican Sayings 1

"A blessed and indestructible being has no trouble himself and brings
no trouble upon any other being; so he is free from anger and
partiality, for all such things imply weakness."

Cato D. Octaviae Aventinae sal.

Salve, Diana.

Welcome back. I'd un-moderate-ify you but I'm no longer a Power That
Be-s so I can't.

As for Maior, two corrections to your comments:

1. Maior's comments where like bringing a bazooka to a knife fight.
She brings new meaning to the term "loose cannon".

2. I didn't accept the petitio, and I didn't because I publicly
acknowledged that I had a conflict of interest.

As for the rest, I'm not apologizing any more. If those who call for
one don't even have the courtesy or grace to acknowledge it when it
happens, then to hell with them. So much for even-handed
fair-minded-ness.

Vale,

Cato

Salve Pompeia Minucia Tiberia:
As you might have gathered from my last mail, I cannot say that anything happening on the ML lately has spoiled my holidays (or anything else, for all that matters...).
I cannot believe I'm actually answering this post, but well... for Absurdity's sake...
Paraphrasing Isabella Rossellini's in "Death becomes her"... "Oh, the sordid subject of *wording*!!".
So far, although I'm (unfortunately) undergoing menopause... I didn't realized that our unwanted German friend (meaning, Herr Alzheimer) had already been visiting me!!!. Otherwise... when did I mention Aquila's or any other Nova Roma tribune, consul, or whatever Officer's behaviour in the aforesaid post?. Or whether I might want to be appointed at any specific Office (not even local Governour, as my own province is too virtual, not to say "dead" for anyone... well, at least I, to bother)... I mean... are you really addressing me?. No need to answer though.
For what I've seen lately, on the other hand, I have seen Pagans leave the list, rather than Christians. Or a Buddhist waiting for trial. So, if such an absurd idea as to "having an agenda", or looking for a scapegoat, should be raised... well... It doesn't make any sense (see the first sentence). So far, I don't see this idea as *constructive^ or adding to the plea for Concordia raised so many times during the past days...
As for having issues solved in my mind and heart, I surely have, thanks for your good wishes. I admit that my way to sort these religious/spiritual things out may not match most people's... but it suits me. :-)
Now, really quoting IR: "the sordid subject of coins!!!"...
From an operative point of view... If you read my posts, as you say, you'd seen that my first posts were sent asking for secure ways to pay taxes, after not getting any answer whatsoever from our (then, 2006) local authorities, here in this province.
So far, PayPal doesn't seem too secure to me. No place where I have to enter my credit card number without any other verification (like picture ID) seems secure to me. Money orders might be an option (although Western Union might be the best for me, if available). For what I've read through the last 130 posts I downloaded today, surely there will be an adjustment in rates, so I better wait.
From a very different point of view... you see, when I firmly believe in something (like other organizations/societies/Orders I belong to) money has never been an issue. I'd rather use my savings, but keep on going. But unfortunately... I guess that, as I still have 3 months before deadline... I think I'll wait and see how things develop. I would really like to support NOVA ROMA, meaning:
"Nova Roma shall be the temporal homeland and worldly focus for the Religio Romana. The primary function of Nova Roma shall be to promote the study and practice of pagan Roman civilization, defined as the period from the founding of the City of
Rome in 753 BCE to the removal of the altar of Victory from the Senate in 394 CE and encompassing such fields as religion, culture, politics, art, literature, language, and philosophy.
As the spiritual heir to the ancient Roman Republic and Empire, Nova Roma shall endeavour to exist, in all manners practical and acceptable, as the modern restoration of the ancient Roman Republic. The culture, religion, and society of Nova Roma shall be patterned upon those of ancient Rome.", not anything resembling what I mentioned in this post "Subject". So again... I'll rather wait and see how things develop over the next months. I guess this is my prerrogative.
As for your mentioning being a patrician, or any other info which I didn't quite care to look for at the Album Civium... well... thanks?.
Optima Vale!!.

Here's a quote from last year's tax edictum, explaining the option for
tax payment by mail.

Those outside the US will need to obtain and send an International
Money Order made out in U.S. dollars. Individual cheques in various

as the checks are quickly devalued by the multiple bank charges to
convert these to U.S. currency.

Some Provincial Governors will choose to arrange a central point in
their provincial to which their citizens may remit taxes so that the
province will only need to make a single payment to the central
treasury. Citizens are encouraged to contact their Governor to
determine whether or not such an arrangement will be made. Provincial
Governors who follow the practice may choose to retain one-half of the
taxes collected in their Province for local use according to the local
budgets they have prepared. This arrangement has the advantage of
avoiding fees to have funds for local expenditures transmitted back to
the Province.

I don't think your province of Argentina currently has a governor.
However, you could still coordinate with other people in Argentina to
have funds bundled into one single international money order, thus
saving processing costs.

Salve Luci Fideli,

Not speaking for the Consuls, who you addressed (and who you can write
to directly using the address consules AT novaroma DOT org), but
perhaps you're a bit confused. You asked:

> Excuse me, consules, but tell me: once you named cives Kaeso Fabium
> Buteo Quintilianum Propraetor,

The consuls didn't name him anything. The praetors appointed him as a
praetorian scribe with the title scriba praetoris. (Or scriba
propraetoris if you only pay attention to the English translation.
Since the praetors have no power to appoint scribes to propraetors,
that's obviously a typing error.)

> are you going to replace Propraetor Titus Arminius Genialis here in
> Provincia Brasilia?

I feel sure nobody intends to replace Genialis as Legatus Pro Praetore
Brasiliae.

Vale,

CN-EQVIT-MARINVS

Salve!

If you want I can translate the oath from English to Portuguese, because I'm skilled in english and portuguese.

That's a generous offer. I think there's already a Portuguese
translation somewhere in the archives, though for some odd reason it's
not linked. If you're interested in joining the decuria of
interpreters as an interpreter between English and Portuguese, I
encourage you to apply to the consuls for appointment.

Salve Octavia Aventina,

Hmmm ... Maybe Aquila is, but I'm not really trigger happy. I only
shoot if it's necessary, and when I shoot, I usually hit, as anyone
who has seen me using a bow can testify, even though my name is not
Diana.

Now that's the spirit! In the martial arts group I used to be part of,
we had a simple and effective rule: anyone who took offence had to buy
a bottle of whiskey for common consumption. Interestingly enough,
nobody ever took offence (though, as you can imagine, people did try
to provoke).

Ah, and thanks a lot for the tribune handbook! That was my best friend

Are you referring to this?

Patris patriae cognomen universi repentino maximoque consensu
detulerunt ei: prima plebs legatione Antium missa; dein, quia non
recipiebat, ineunti Romae spectacula frequens et laureata; mox in
curia senatus, neque decreto neque adclamatione, sed per Valerium
Messalam. 2 Is mandantibus cunctis: "Quod bonum," inquit, "faustumque
sit tibi domuique tuae, Caesar Auguste! Sic enim nos perpetuam
felicitatem rei p. et laeta huic precari existimamus: senatus te
consentiens cum populo R. consalutat patriae patrem." Cui lacrimans
respondit Augustus his verbis — ipsa enim, sicut Messalae, posui —:
"Compos factus votorum meorum, p. c., quid habeo aliud deos immortales
precari, quam ut hunc consensum vestrum ad ultimum finem vitae mihi
perferre liceat?"

The whole body of citizens with a sudden unanimous impulse proffered
him the title of Father of his Country: first the commons, by a
deputation sent to Antium, and then, because he declined it, again at
Rome as he entered the theatre, which they attended in throngs, all
wearing laurel wreaths: the senate afterwards in the House, not by a
decree or by acclamation, but through Valerius Messala. 2 He, speaking
for the whole body, said: "Good fortune and divine favour attend thee
and thy house, Caesar Augustus; for thus we feel that we are praying
for lasting prosperity for our country and happiness for our city. The
senate in accord with the people of Rome hails thee Father of thy
Country." Then Augustus with tears in his eyes replied as follows (and
I have given his exact words, as I did those of Messala): "Having
attained my highest hopes, Fathers of the Senate, what more have I to
ask of the immortal gods than that I may retain this same unanimous
approval of yours to the very end of my life."

There's also Ovid's Fasti II.633-638:

et libate dapes, ut grati pignus honoris,
nutriat incinctos missa patella Lares.
Iamque, ubi suadebit placidos nox humida somnos,
larga precaturi sumite vina manu,
et "bene vos, bene te, patriae pater, optime Caesar!"
dicite; suffuso sint bona verba mero.

And poor a libation for the feast, so that, as a pledge of pleasing
homage, the offered bowl may nourish the girded Lares.
And now, as moist night nudges pleasant sleep, take much wine by hand
in order to pray,
and repeat: "bene vos, bene te, father of the fatherland, Caesar the
Greatest!"; with the wine poured out, let the words be good.

(trans. mine, off the cuff)

Horace 4.5.29-36

Quis Partum paveat, quis gelidum Scythen,
quis Germania quos horrida parturit
fetus, incolumi Caesare? Quis ferae
bellum curet Hiberiae?

As long as Caesar is safe, who would fear the
Parthian, who [would fear] the frozen Scythian, who
[would fear] the swarms which savage Germany breeds?
Who would worry about war with fierce Spain?

Condit quisque diem collibus in suis
et uitem uiduas ducit ad arbores;
hinc ad uina redit laetus et alteris
te mensis adhibet deum;

Each [farmer] spends the day in his own hills
and joins the vine to unwed trees; hence he
returns [home] to his wine and invites you as a
god at the second course [of his meal];

te multa prece, te prosequitur mero
defuso pateris et Laribus tuum
miscet numen, uti Graecia Castoris
et magni memor Herculis.

he beseeches you with much prayer, with wine
poured out from bowls, and he combines your
godhead with the Lares, just as Greece [is]
mindful of Castor and great Hercules.
