That is one way to do it, but not the only way. The threat model is more complex these days.

Subject: a. d. III Kalendas Quinctilias: Rededication of the Temple of Quirin
M. Moravius Piscinus cultoribus Deorum et omnibus salutem plurimam dicit: Venus dulcedonem in nos communicet

Hodie est ante diem III Kalendas Quinctilias; haec dies comitialis est: Quirino in colle; Ventosa tempestas

"When as many days of the month are left as there are named Fates, a temple was dedicated to you, Quirinus of the striped gown." ~ P. Ovidius Naso, Fasti 6.795-796

Ovid refers here to the rededication of the Temple of Quirinus on the Quirinal Hill by Augustus (Res Gestae 4, 19). Normally a temple would be rededicated on the same day as it had originally been dedicated. But with Augustus this was not always true. He would instead create festivals through such rededications on dates that were related to some important event in his life. The original dedication had taken place during the Samnite Wars.

AUC / 293 BCE: L. Papirius Cursor and the Temple of Quirinus

"On his approach to Rome a triumph was granted to him by universal consent. This triumph, which he celebrated while still in office, was a very brilliant one for those days. The infantry and cavalry who marched in the procession were conspicuous with their decorations, many were wearing civic, mural, and vallarian crowns. The spoils of the Samnites attracted much attention; their splendour and beauty were compared with those which the consul's father had won, and which were familiar to all through their being used as decorations of public places. Amongst those in the victor's train were some prisoners of high rank distinguished for their own or their fathers' military services; there were also carried in the procession 2,533,000 bronze ases, stated to be the proceeds of the sale of the prisoners, and 1830 pounds of silver taken from the cities. All the silver and bronze was stored in the treasury, none of this was given to the soldiers. This created dissatisfaction amongst the plebs, which was aggravated by the collection of the war tax to provide the soldiers' pay, for if Papirius had not been so anxious to get the credit of paying the price of the prisoners into the treasury there would have been enough to make a gift to the soldiers and also to furnish their pay. He dedicated the temple of Quirinus. I do not find in any ancient author that it was he who vowed this temple in the crisis of a battle, and certainly he could not have completed it in so short a time; it was vowed by his father when Dictator, and the son dedicated it when consul. and adorned it with the spoils of the enemy. There was such a vast quantity of these that not only were the temple and the Forum adorned with them, but they were distributed amongst the allied peoples and the nearest colonies to decorate their public spaces and temples." ~ Titus Livius 10.46


The Custom of Carrying a Bride Across the Threshold

"Why do they not allow the bride to cross the threshold of her home herself, but those who are escorting her lift her over it? Is it because they carried off by force also the first Roman brides and bore them into their houses in this manner, and the women did not enter of their own accord? Or do they wish it to appear that it is under constraint and not of their own desire that they enter a dwelling where they are about to lose their virginity? Or it it a token that the woman may not go forth of her own accord and abandon her home if she is not constrained, just as it was under constraint that she entered it? So likewise among us in Boeotia they burn the axle of the bridal carriage before the door, signifying that the bride must remain, since her means of departure has been destroyed. " ~ Plutarch, Roman Questions 29


Our thought for today is from Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 7.31:

Take thy joy in simplicity, in integrity, and with indifference towards all that lies between virtue and vice. Love mankind. Follow the Gods. `All else,' says Democritus, is subject to convention; only the elements are absolute and real.' And it is enough to remember that Law rules all.

I assume then that the tribunes have decided to ignore my appeal to them (without having bothered to inform me) and instead announce that the very person central to the whole issue will be presiding over the Senate.

That makes sense.

Salve.

I do, however, have the privilege of what is known as common sense. But the auspices have nothing to do with what I commented upon.

By the way, were the auspices taken *before* or *after* we discovered that Complutensis is probably the source of the attempt to defraud the Respublica?

I do, however, have the privilege of what is known as common sense. But the auspices have nothing to do with what I commented upon.

By the way, were the auspices taken *before* or *after* we discovered that Complutensis is probably the source of the attempt to defraud the Respublica?

Cato - Modianus, Paulinus, myself, and others in the Senate do not see any reason why the current session should be delayed and nothing on the agenda will effect a later call of the Senate by the Tribunes to investigate the supposed involvement between Complutensis Consul and the person posting as fpasquinus.  I am confident that through the good offices of the Senators and Conscript Fathers, the Praetores, and Matt Hucke; the whole matter will be resolved.

Modianus - I am not even going to try to suggest anything other than to please answer all questions as directly as possible regardless of how much hostility you may read into posts from individuals such as Cato, Sulla, Caesar, myself, and others.  As the Censor de facto, it is expected that you will serve all citizens of Nova Roma with civility, equal regard, and forthrightness.  You and I have both held enough public offices to know that we cannot return the incivility, hostility, and disrespect in kind because we knew what to expect when we ran for office.  I can promise you that I will endeavor to communicate with you as I would like to be treated by you per the several oaths that we both hold dear.

Nothing was ignored and nothing has been decided. The call to session came after our last interchange and it is my duty as the Duty Tribune to announce the session.

Your request for a Tribune to call the Senate into session seems to be more a presentation to a grand jury. That presentation would not be done by the presiding magistrate, but by someone with a vested interest in the proceedings. I assume you will act as prosecutor to present the facts?

Otherwise, as you know, the next session of the Senate will be in July and may address this issue. My college Flavius Galerius Aurelianus will be the Duty Tribune for July.

I presented my call to the "duty" tribune, as requested; you then asked me what *my* agenda was, and I explained it quite fully and precisely.

I am note sure if you expected me to pretend I was impartial in the matter, but I am not nor will I pretend that I am. Being impartial is the job of the tribunes, as I said in my explanation.

Your call has not been ignored and the Tribunes will call the Senate to investigate the possibility that fpasquinus and Complutensis Consul may be the same person.  Until that time, the business of the res publica must go on and should not be delayed.  Regardless of my personal feelings on this matter, the theory of innocent until proven guilty remains one of the fundamental applications within Nova Roma.

Also, there is a tradition that most sitting magistrates are immune to a petitio actionis while in office.  There are some leges that allow for a magistrate to be removed for dereliction of duty and also if the identity of fpasquinus can be determined, the Tribunes could bring an action against that person under the lex Didia Gemina.  However, such actions should not be considered until there is proof(s) beyond reasonable doubt(s).

Thank you.

There is historical precedence for the imperium of a sitting magistrate being removed by a vote of the People in the comitia populi tributa (and even of the Senate removing the imperium of a sitting magistrate). This does *not* involve a trial or charges laid against a sitting magistrate, but simply the execution of a lex by the People removing the consul's imperium, his power to issue edicta, convene the Senate or any comitia, or administer or interpret the law - yet he would remain in office.

This, I think, would be a fitting punishment if the consul is found responsible.

If NOVA Roma was truly working within the traditional Mos Maiorum
(sic) of Nova Antiqua, you would be sitting home with your useless yap
shut.

As it is, Nova Roma is not working within the tradition Mos. We are
building a New Mos upon the foundation of the old.

The problem, or even vitality of traditional mos, was that there was a history of informal agreement amongst families, groups of families, and classes over precedent customs of the ancestors and a legally recongnized history of informal disagreement amongst same.
Think of it this way. There were shared memories of events: degrees of agreements and disagreements of what said events portend. One of the best professors I had (Sicilian, mafia family, Philly) once explained that ancient governments operated mainly along family allegiances and family interpretations of past family truces (law, customs, mos).

I apologize. It has come to my attention that they shared several more addresses as well. The more address shared, the more the likelihood that it's the same person rises.

Static IP addresses are common to one and only one internet location (one router, for instance). Dynamic ones change, but then there would be different IP addresses, and the chances that a person sharing two or more reaches nearly 100% likely that the same internet connections were used.

The only other explanation would be that Complutensis' child or wife or relative who lives and works with him used his computers when he wasn't. But the hacker story? 100% BS. Bill Clinton's Monica and marijuana lies and George W. Bush's (far more) numerous lies were more credible than Complutensis' hacker story.

Salve Dexter,

There has been a great deal of discussion here about the evidence. I really suggest you check the discussions of the last week and see for yourself. I was the one one exposed the fraud. Three posts of mine of particular importance are: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nova-Roma/message/67997 , http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nova-Roma/message/68026, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nova-Roma/message/68195 . The last one identifies which of the networks is his home and which is work.

The latest count of IP matches (as of today) that I have are: 217.126.170.3, 84.77.28.18, 84.77.26.75, 84.77.7.166. There may be others in posts that I have missed.

Before you bring up this entire discussion again I suggest you check all of the old posts. Probably any questions you have have already been answered and I don't think the ML needs to rehash all of this again at this time.

Vale,

Gualterus

About the linguistic similarities Gualterus did not give one example, he only said that the Pasquinus' style did not sound native English. But I fear that Pasquinus, Complutensis, Lentulus, me and many others do not write native English. It is not an evidence nor the IP addresses.
And a native English speaker can simulate foreigner mistakes.

C. Petronius Q. Valerio sal.,

The weak evidences are the addresses IP, but they are not evidences if a haker can use them. In my opinion we also must research with psychology.

1)- Why the consul Complutensis would be behind an other nickname? In which advantage? Cui bono? In which interest?

2)- This "valse of pseudos", this character of masked avenger does not sound the serious consul Complutensis.

And why the name fpasquinus?

Pasquinus is the Roman talking statue. See that on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasquin

And I have to say that Pasquin, in France, also is a comedy character, the crafty manservant in the XVIIth century theatre. But the statue and the meanservant of the XVIIth century are not very known. Perhaps behind this fpasquinus we must research a scholar and a scholar with very good computer knowledges.

So, at which behaviour this Pasquinus refers? A serious consul or a satiric scholar computer scientist?

Vale.

Really, I strongly suggest you reread the archives of the last week. All of this is discussed in detail. It's better to educate yourself first than embarrass yourself about something you have no understanding. And, this isn't just me, but Octavius agrees about the evidence as well--and both of us have academic and professional credentials in computer science. So, please, read, learn and let the ML move on for now.

1. Having yet another person to demonize Sulla would benefit Compy in the
most obvious of ways: Compy hates Sulla, therefore yet another person to
demonize him without having to tarnish his own name would save his own skin.

2. That's by far the stupidest thing I've ever heard (apart from "Nova Roma

different.

As far as the IP addresses go, that alone would be enough to convict someone
if they were evidence in a court of law. The tech experts here all agree
that a hacker doing it is just as likely as Michael Jackson sleeping
underneath your desk right now. With several IP addresses taken, there's no
earthly way a hacker could do all that.

I'm reminded of Nixon: "I'm not a crook." Yeah, and this baby is made of

I apologize. It has come to my attention that they shared several more addresses as well. The more address shared, the more the likelihood that it's the same person rises.

Static IP addresses are common to one and only one internet location (one router, for instance). Dynamic ones change, but then there would be different IP addresses, and the chances that a person sharing two or more reaches nearly 100% likely that the same internet connections were used.

The only other explanation would be that Complutensis' child or wife or relative who lives and works with him used his computers when he wasn't. But the hacker story? 100% BS.

    ATS:  Possisne explicare qua de causa sat nuper nonnullos nuntios mercatorum a computatore Complutensis acceperim?  Estne subito factus mercator, munere juris periti deposito, et mittens praeconia de mentulis horologiis diaetis aliis talibus?  Credat Apella.

The evidence presented has been it was your IP address that accessed the site and initiated th request. The courts have in each case accepted that as irrefutable proof and in some cases the perpetrators have been fined thousands.

If it's proof enough for the courts why isn't it good enough for Nova Roma.

Unfortunately we (the magistrate) are currently blocked by these endless, tiresome, time consuming discussions to no avail .
The further development of Nova Roma is hindered thus.

Not only. Before the judge question the provider. Only the provider knows to whom he gave the IP address. When in my computer I type on the windows command cmd the internalcommand "IPconfig /all" I read that my IP address is allowed for 1 day at the close second. So, an IP address is not allowed to my computer for life.

You probably don't understand what a netmask is and you definitely don't know how to read an email header. Your message was posted to the yahoo group website from 86.69.170.102.

If you are using a cable or DSL "modem" your PC is probably using a 192.168 address (probably 192.168.1.2 or 192.168.2.2) but your "modem" has 86.69.170.102, and this can be identified uniquely to you.

M. Moravius Piscinus cultoribus Deorum et omnibus salutem plurimam dicit: Hercules virtutem in nos addat

Hodie est die pristine Kalendas Quinctilias; haec dies comitialis est: Herculi Musagetibus

AUC / 187 BCE: Dedication of the Temple of Hercules Musagetes in the Circus Flaminium

"Hail, Hercules, true son of Jove, an added Glory for the Gods are you. Come now, and dance at your holy rites with skillful feet." ~ Virgil Aeneid 8.301-2

"Why did Hercules and the Muses have an altar in common? Is it because Hercules taught Evander's people the use of letters, as Juba has recorded? And this action was held to be noble on the part of men who taught their friends and relatives. It was a long time before they began to teach for pay, and the first to open an elementary school was Spurius Carvilius, a freedman of the Carvilius who was the first to divorce his wife." ~ Plutarch, Roman Questions 59

The Temple of Hercules of the Muses was built by M. Fulvius Nobilior who became censor in 179 BCE. Earlier he conducted the siege of Ambracia, from which he brought to Rome statues of the Muses sculpted by Zeuxis (Plinius Secundus, H. N. 35.36). Fulvius was the patron of Ennius, and he also installed an inscribed version of a fasti in the aedes Herculis Musarum (Macrobius, Saturnalia1.12.16). In 29 BCE L. Marcius Philippus, step brother to Augustus, restored the temple with the Porticus Philippi added. Philippus was father to Marcia. She was a cousin of Augustus through his aunt Atia and wife of Paullus Fabius Maximus who was the patron of Ovid. It was Marcia who revealed to Livia that Augustus intended to pardon his grandson Agrippa Postumus, bringing him back from exile. If true, it would have meant that Augustus would deny the imperial throne to Tiberius. This information must have come from Marcia's husband Fabius Maximus, who was a confidant to Augustus. He, at least, committed suicide over the revelation, and soon after Augustus died, rumored, according to Tacitus, to have been poisoned by Livia and Tiberius. (Tacitus, Annales 1.5)


AUC 520 / 233 BCE: Rome's first Divorce

"From the Founding of the City down to its five hundred and twentieth year there was no case of divorce between man and wife. Sp. Carvilius was the first to put his wife away for cause of barrenness. Although he was thought to have a tolerable reason for doing so, he did not escape criticism, because they considered that even desire for children ought not to have been placed ahead of conjugal loyalty." ~ Valerius Maximus 2.1.4


Our thought for today comes from Pythagoras, the Golden Sayings 1 and 2:

"First worship the Immortal Gods, as They are established and ordained by the Law. Reverence the Oath, and next the Heroes, full of goodness and light."

Have any of you considered the odd conclusion that by fighting all of the time you actually are fulfilling the mission of Nova Roma?  If nothing else, all of this controversy keeps people continually interested in the ongoings of Nova Roma.  A recent post here on the ML pointed out how dead the other lists are by comparison, so you can see how at a minimum infighting keeps your group active.  Moreover, in formulating their discontent, members familiarize themselves with Nova Roma's constitution and express their genuine concern for its welfare through their passionate arguments.
 
The presumption that everything should be peaceful seems a little naive upon reflection, especially when you consider the nature of NR.  It doesn't have any actual plot of land that it can rule over, so in the absence of that it seems to have developed another way to administer a sort of society.  Of course one could also argue that strife drives members away, but you have to ask yourself how anxious they'd be to spend as much time as the current posters do fighting posting about books on Rome that they've read or ecstatic religious experiences...  Maybe one way of looking at it is that you're steadily adding core members that really are here for the long haul.

Thank you for your statement. These are exatly the questions I am currently asking myself.
 
What are we currently doing to come nearer to the fulfillment of our mission ?
 
Unfortunately we (the magistrate) are currently blocked by these endless, tiresome, time consuming discussions to no avail .
The further development of Nova Roma is hindered thus.
 
I know this will not stop the participants to continue with these unfruitful discussions or personal attacks.
 
I for myself have decided to be no longer part of this and just to concentrate on my work as Quaestor, Legatus Pro Praetore Provincia Germania,
Accensus Consulibus, Scriba Censor Modianus. Thus I will achieve more for the benefit of our res publica than continue with these
quarrelsome discussions.
 
Back to work !
 
Vale Optime

Betreff: [Nova-Roma] Why We Fight

Q Caecilius Metellus Quiritibus salutem dicit.

As the month draws its close, I hope we might all take a moment, however brief,
to reflect on what has happened in this first half of the year. There is, to be
sure, no lack of happenings upon which we can reflect; I hope we will all
consider them with the utmost seriousness as they so desperately deserve. In
reflecting upon them, in reflecting upon our current situation, to all persons,
on all sides, I pose three questions. In posing my questions, I stand not on
any side but my own; I hope in considering them, you will recognise this and
consider them accordingly. And to anyone who believes my questions to stem from
support or opposition for or to one side or the other, I can only say that you
know what limbs you have, and how to use them to bring yourself whatever
pleasure you need.

I ask these things:

How are your current actions contributing to furthering the mission, however so
defined, of Nova Roma?

How, in the future, can you apply your energies to furthering the mission of
Nova Roma?

What can you do, in five years, in one year, in one month, in one week,
tomorrow, today, and right now, to bring Nova Roma closer to its goal?

For those of you who would respond, I ask that you not respond, publicly or
privately, in words, but in your deeds. In the end, what are words but mere
marks and utterances? It is our actions that make things; it is then there that
our energies must be concentrated.

I pray you consider these things before you come, here or elsewhere, to make
your next post.

Di nos Romanos incolumes custodiant.

This point actually weakens your argument if you're trying to suggest that it is only a coincidence that two people would receive the same ISP address after the first user is discharged of it.  I think there are like twenty places in an ISP and they use both letters and numbers as characters, so I think the probability is ((number of times shared an ISP address)*(36)^(20))^(2), which is a number bigger than the amount of atoms in the universe...

Subject: Re: Clear Communication [was Re: THE SENATE IS CALLED INTO SESSION]
Yes, Cato, I knew exactly what you meant but that doesn't mean that everyone on this list knew exactly what you meant. 

One of the problems which us long-timers on the list don't ever consider is that our new citizens may not understand exactly what we DO mean when we post something like you did.  Some new citizens might construe that we have organized political parties here in Nova Roma or that the Consuls and Tribunes are actively opposing each other.  This is especially true when we use the names of either historical groups from Old Rome (Optimates) or a Nova Roman groups that no longer exists (Boni or Moderati).

The purpose and authority of the Tribunes in Nova Roma is considerably different in practice than it was in Old Rome.  Some of our new citizens may not be aware of how monumental it is to us long-timers that the Consuls chose to ignore two pronouncements of intercessio that the Tribunes considered valid.  Other new citizens may not even be aware that our elections can be controlled by a very small minority of the tax-paying citizens who control the centuries containing only one or two active citizens while the vast majority of capite censi citizens have very little voice in the elections.

New citizens who notice that we have over 1200 subscribers to this list may have to be active for several weeks before they begin to notice that there are less than 100 who post regularly.  However, they will quickly learn that those who do post regularly spend most of their time in quarreling with one another.

The New Roman List is important and so are all of the sodalites lists but it is here that many new citizens are exposed to what the more active long-time citizens are writing to one another.  It is very easy to imagine why NR continues to shed members like a snake sheds scales when the communications can be very easily misunderstood.

After all, you made (to my opinion) a very big deal because Modianus Censor de facto did not tell you the specific date that the auspices were taken for the call to the Senate and your posts could be perceived as saying that he was deliberately avoiding giving you the clear communication you desired.  However, once you did not get the precise information that you felt he should supply you, you could have just contacted the Pontifex Maximus to obtain the info.  Instead, by posting similar demands that could be perceived as both hostile and accusative, you are providing our new citizens with an unpleasant perception of Nova Roma and the relationships between the citizens and/or magistrates.

I will agree with you that it is important that all the magistrates make a sincere and sustained effort to answer all requests and inquiries in a civil manner without resorting to snarky comments but it is equally important for those citizens making the requests to be civil in their manner and clear in their communications.

NR has got normal business to conduct to maintain our pax et concordia (peace and concensus) as well as the pax deorum (good relationship between NR and the Gods) and this should not be halted because of a problem that can be worked out at a later date.  Severus Consul has the authority to call the Senate next month just as any Tribune can call the Senate at any time to discuss a matter.  Just because Modianus Censor de facto writes that the Tribunes can wait until after Severus Consul calls the Senate doesn't mean that the it is going to happen the way he believes it should happen.  

Vale.

What our Pontifex fails to consider, and this through no fault of his own, is a Roman's great regard for the rules, and a Roman's love of the struggle.
 
I have been studying Rome especially the Republic for 25 years, NR for eleven.  My 
conclusion is they are very similar when it comes to the political nuances.
 
Peace is impossible because of the open ended mission statement.  This was pointed out to me by Roman and Classical historians years ago.   It won't change, because to change it would rip NR's heart out.  A heartless organization does not endure.
I notice everybody blames our Constitution for our current mess.  Actually this Constitution has preserved Nova Roma.  If it was easily changed, I doubt we'd still be in existence right now.  Look at all the bad and I mean badly written legislation we have endured.  Yet we survive because the Constitution is strong enough to overcome most of it. 
The current defiance of the Tribunes comes as a shock to most Romans here.  Actually, Tribunes in history were defied.  They usually were killed, so their rulings could be ignored.  We don't kill Tribunes here, thank the Gods, this is what gives them their great power.   But the point here, is the Veto by the 5, is NR's check to the Magistrates.  Otherwise the Magistrates simply do what they want.  
Since NR is a volunteer organization, these people really have no control over you.  You can leave at any time.  Just to quit is not very Roman.

Subject: Mafia and government forms
Salve Semproni,
I know that history has surely advanced since I was in high school, but the accepted theory then was that mafia is a remnant of a medioeval form of government, not of ancient ones.

It is in feudalism that families constituded the only structure of power.
The "ancient" forms of government (Greek, Roman), were famous because of the ability to abstract the "good of the State" from the "good of some families".

One of the best professors I had (Sicilian, mafia family, Philly) once explained that ancient governments operated mainly along family allegiances and family interpretations of past family truces (law, customs, mos). His point was that the mafia was just the ancient form of government out of date.

Subject: Re: Clear Communication [was Re: THE SENATE IS CALLED INTO SESSION]
Salve Omnes,
 
Once again, I have some questions concerning exactly *how* things work, and, frankly, seek some assurances that they *will* work, as intended. This is neither a confrontational nor an accusatory post, and I can only hope that it will be read in as objective a manner as I am trying to communicate in.  (oops, sorry about that!)
 
First, if the Senate session in July determines to conduct an investigation into the fpasquinus matter, will we be told that such an investigation is being conducted, or we be informed that it *has* been conducted, after the fact?  Next, precisely *who* will be doing the investigating, the entire Senate, an ad hoc committee, or some other combination of Senate members?  How will they proceed?  Once they have drawn their conclusions, I assume that they will report to the Senate.  Will the tribunes reproduce that report for the citizens, or just summarize it?  Does the investigative "body" either recommend or administer judgment and/or penalties?  If not, then who does?
 
Finally, considering the extreme polarization in this organization (which is not at all unRoman, actually), how can citizens be assured that any investigation conducted by members of either faction will be fair, thorough and impartial?  I have seen an abundance of rhetoric on both sides, ranging from a middle ground of "this matter must be investigated to get at the truth" to the other ends of the spectrum "he's guilty as charged, and should be ... varying ideas on that" to "if he *says* he's innocent, then obviously he *is*, because he's a wonderful person and a consul."  I treat both extremes with the same seriousness, frankly, but I emphatically do *not* want to see either a political whitewash or a political witch hung, both of which are abhorrent, at least to me.
 
Because of the amount of rhetoric I've seen on this issue, I would, to be quite honest, prefer an answer either from, Venator, Tribune Fl. Galerianus (who, it appears to me has bent over backwards to be impartial in this situation), or any long term citizen who has loyalties to neither political faction, knows NR procedures, politics, and pertinent laws, and is willing to be even handed and objective in his/her answers.

Why Complutensis did the fraud is obvious--he wanted to insult and attack people without having his name attached to it. As for me, this isn't about any "dream", but a statement of fact--Complutensis is finished. He will never be trusted in office again. This is unfortunate, but completely his own fault.

Machiavelli lived in a society that was not feudal. The Italian city-states had similar institutions to ancient Greek ones: they required loyalty to the State to be placed above loyalty to one's family. The evolution toward a system where families and individual rulers were more important never led to a totally feudal system.
The Mafia (Cosa Nostra) was born in places where the feudal system (personal loyalty to one leader - a system with families pledging alliance to one another) persisted right until the industrial revolution.

This is true of Sicily, but also of Japan or Russia, which makes the relationship quite obvious.

Coruncanius: The Sopranos? I can recall one episode where a jewish hotel manager explains the story of his people, whom resisted even the romans... "And where are the romans now?" And Tony Soprano answers: "You are looking at them".
I also recall Godfather II (I think), when Hagen speaks with Charlie Pentangeli about the internal organization of the families, simmilar to the roman legions...
Too much movies?

Machiavelli lived in a society that was not feudal. The Italian city-states had similar institutions to ancient Greek ones: they required loyalty to the State to be placed above loyalty to one's family. The evolution toward a system where families and individual rulers were more important never led to a totally feudal system.
The Mafia (Cosa Nostra) was born in places where the feudal system (personal loyalty to one leader - a system with families pledging alliance to one another) persisted right until the industrial revolution.

This is true of Sicily, but also of Japan or Russia, which makes the relationship quite obvious.

Vale,
Livia

Salve,
The Athenians advanced more on this than the Romans. The Roman Republic was a cross between competition of patrician families, equestrians allied with the military, and between classes. While fealty to one's lord is medieval (and German), it was blended with the patronage system of prominent families of Rome -- which re-emerged, in a way, during the city-states era of the early Renaissance.

Salve Semproni,
I know that history has surely advanced since I was in high school, but the accepted theory then was that mafia is a remnant of a medioeval form of government, not of ancient ones.

It is in feudalism that families constituded the only structure of power.
The "ancient" forms of government (Greek, Roman), were famous because of the ability to abstract the "good of the State" from the "good of some families".

Livia

One of the best professors I had (Sicilian, mafia family, Philly) once explained that ancient governments operated mainly along family allegiances and family interpretations of past family truces (law, customs, mos). His point was that the mafia was just the ancient form of government out of date.

Until that time, the business of the res publica must go on and should not be delayed.? Regardless of my personal feelings on this matter, the theory of innocent until proven guilty remains one of the fundamental applications within Nova Roma.

There are some leges that allow for a magistrate to be removed for dereliction of duty and also if the identity of fpasquinus can be determined, the Tribunes could bring an action against that person under the lex Didia Gemina.? However, such actions should not be considered until there is proof(s) beyond reasonable doubt(s).

Actually it was dedicated to a medici...

His idol in it was Caesare Borgia.

The opening discourse of The Prince defines effective methods of governing in several types of principalities (for example, newly acquired vs. hereditary). Machiavelli explains to the reader, the "Magnificent Lorenzo de' Medici",[3] member of the Florentine Medici family, the best ways to acquire, maintain, and protect a state. The methods described therein have the general theme of acquiring necessary ends by any means.

From Wikipedia

I own 4 copies of the book. Including his Discourses on Livy.

Subject: The fpasquinus case
Salvete,
 
I took a break from the ML last week and so I missed all the discussion on the fpasquinus case. Now, I have no intention of rehashing anything that was said and I'm not an expert with computers. However, and for what it's worth, I just want to share with all of you what happened to a member of another online group I belong to.
 
This lady lives in Wales and shortly after she had joined our group last year, we received an email from her "husband" informing us that the lady had passed away. We were stunned and mourned her in our forums. Then a week later, the lady, herself, emails our group to tell us she is very much alive and that it was not her husband who had sent us the email announcing her demise.
 
It seems the lady had gone on vacation and while she was gone, her company hired a temporary replacement to do her work. This temporary worker hacked her way into the lady's work computer, got into her emails, found all her passwords to all her accounts and then from the work computer hacked her way into the lady's home computer. She even got into the lady's bank accounts, stole her identity and a great deal of the lady's money, and then disappeared.
 
After months of serious police investigation, but the hacker resurfaced to try and do the same thing to another person on vacation in another company and that was when the police caught her.

What we all learned from this was that there are people out there who are vicious hackers and are all too proficient at what they do. They can even manipulate IP's, making it very difficult to trace them. (I have no idea how; this is just what the lady told us.) Very scary stuff!
 
So I think we should take nothing for granted nor at face value. Whoever fpasquinus was, he could be the same fellow as the mysterious "Bill Hawks" who sent me that email with the insults. It is scary to think we have people like that hanging around Nova Roma.
 
Makes me super glad I have Norton. I can't recommend Norton enough to everyone. Norton Rules!

Salve,

Well, the critical point of your story is that someone was physically present at one of the lady's computers. Once you get your hands on a system, it is trivial to extract almost anything you want, which is why step #1 of IT security is to keep the doors locked. :) Identity theft can be lucrative. In this case, however, all that was done was post on a mailing list--not exactly what identity thieves do.

In our case, the whole story becomes even more improbable if the mystery "hacker" was someone from Complutensis' work. Who at his work could possibly care about Nova Roma?

I appreciate your story, and it is a good warning to all to keep their PCs/laptops physically secure, but I don't think it helps with the fpasquinus case.

Vale,

Gualterus
