Cato omnibus in foro SPD

In response to my quote from Ecclesiasticus regarding holding people in memoriam - on the Memorial Day weekend - I received the following "notice" from the praetors:

"Ex Officio Pratricum;
this a a private warning to remind you that posting religious spam is not permitted on the Main List.
Equestria Iunia Laeca
M. Hortensia Maior"

I find it incredibly offensive that they would label a single quotation from the scriptures sacred to my cultus privatus as "spam" - showing a continued stream of harassment against it, let alone an obvious ignorance of what "spam" constitutes in re the internet.

You, Maior, are a shame to the office of praetor. Just one more thing to add to the list of abuses for which you will answer when you leave office.

Valete,

Cato

Subject: KALENDAE FABARIAE: Juno Moneta, Juno Regina, Mars, and Tempestes
M. Moravius Piscinus cultoribus Deorum et omnibus salutem plurimam dicit: Di vos semper servent.

Hodie est Kalendae Fabariae; haec dies nefastus est: DIE QUINTI TE KALO, IUNO COVELLA : Iunoni Monetae in arce; Fabarici circenses missus.

Fabariae

The name for today's date, the Kalendae Fabariae, comes not from a festival, but instead from an ancient tradition. On this day one is to eat a dish prepared from bean-meal and bacon fat (Macrobius, Saturnalia 1.12.22 and 31). This meal was dedicated to the Goddess Carna and was intended to preserve one's good health (Pliny H. N. 18.117). As it happens, this was the time of year when beans were harvested in Central Italy (Columella, 11.2.20).

"Prayers are offered to this Goddess, for the good preservation of liver, heart, and the other internal organs of our bodies. Her sacrifices are bean-meal and lard, because this is the best food for the nourishment of the body." ~ Macrobius, Saturnalia 1.12.32


AUC 267 / 486 ACE: Triumph of Sp. Cassius for his victory over the Volsci and Hernici.

AUC 396 / 357 ACE: Triumph of C. Marcius Rutilius for his victory over the Privernates.


Today celebrates the dedication of five temples at Rome:

AUC 358 / 395 ACE: Temple of Juno Regina, brought from Veii, dedicated on the Aventine Hill.


AUC 365 / 388 ACE: Temple of Mars dedicated in the Campus Martius.

"Father Mars, You who were not at all deaf to my vows, these men, survivors of the battle, dedicate to You the choicest armour of our victory trophies." ~ Silius Italicus Punica 10.553-54

"This same day is a festival of Mars, whose temple is seen from beyond the Portus Capena." ~Ovidius Naso, Fasti 6.191


AUC 409 / 344 ACE: Temple of Juno Moneta dedicated on the Arx.

"The Dictator (L. Furius Camillus) thought it his duty to secure the help of the Gods, and during the actual fighting he vowed a temple to Juno Moneta. On his victorious return to Rome, he resigned his Dictatorship to discharge his vow. The senate ordered two commissioners to be appointed to carry out the construction of that temple in a style commensurate with the greatness of the Roman people, and a site was marked out in the Citadel where the house of M. Manlius Capitolinus had stood." ~ Titus Livius 7.28


AUC 494 / 259 ACE: Temple of the Tempestes dedicated near the porta Capena.

"You too, Tempests, were considered worthy of a shrine, after our fleet was almost sunk in Corsican waters." ~ Ovidius Naso, Fasti 6.193

"Thanks be to Neptunus and the Tempestates, for returning me safe home again, my venture a success!" ~ Plautus, Stichus 402


AUC 733 / 20 ACE: Temple of Mars Ultor dedicated in the Forum Augusti.

"If, Father, my war is authorized by Vesta's priestess, and whenever I prepare to take divine vengeance, Mars, be by my side and satiate cold steel with guilt's blood, and lend Your favour to the better side. If I am victorious for You I'll build a shrine and call You Ultor, Mars the Avenger." ~ Ovid Fasti 5.573-77


AUC 736 / 17 ACE: Ludi Saeculares led by Augustus and Agrippa

Acta Sacrorum Saecularium

A proclamation was sent out asking the populace of Rome to participate. "All Free Men, you are bid to pray and fast. On the Capitolium, before the Temple of Jupiter, and on the Aventine before the temple of Diana (join with) the crowded populace present and for the Gods gather sweet-smelling herbs to offer."

Those who were 25 or older were to convene on the Capitolium. From among those who were younger, two choruses were selected of male and female voices to sing a hymn specially composed for the occasion by Horace. As some rites of the Ludi Saeculares were reserved for women to conduct, a second decree was issued on the Kalendae Fabariae:

"And the edict was issued: The quindecimviri sacris faciundis decree: Since, insofar as it accords with proper custom, and in like manner has been observed in numerous precedents, whenever there has been a rightful cause for public celebration, it has been decided that the mourning of women should be suspended; and since it seems that it is appropriate both to the honor of the gods and to the remembrance of their worship that that should apply to the time of solemn rites and games and that it should be scrupulously observed –therefore we have decided that it is incumbent on us to issue to women a decree by edict, that they should suspend mourning." ~ CIL 6.32323 Lines 110b-14


The Ludi Saeculares began soon after Midnight with a nighttime sacrifice to the Moirai in the Campus Martius

"On the following night, on the Campus Martius, next to the Tiber, [the emperor Caesar Augustus sacrificed] according to the Greek rite [nine female lambs to the divine Moirai (Fates) as whole burnt offering; and by the same rite he sacrificed nine female goats as a whole burnt offerings and spoke the following prayer: "Moirai, as it is prescribed for you in the Sibylline books - and for this reason may good fortune attend the Roman people, the Quirites – let sacrifice be made to you with nine female lambs and nine female goats burnt whole for you. I beg you and pray that you may increase the power and majesty of the Roman people, the Quirites, in war and peace; and that the Latins may always be obedient; and that you may grant eternal safety, victory and health to the Roman people, the Quirites; and that you may protect the Roman people, the Quirites, and the legions of the Roman people, the Quirites; and that you may keep safe and make greater the state of the Roman people, the Quirites, and that you may be favorable and propitious to the Roman people], the Quirites, to the collegium of the quindecimviri, to me, to my house, to my household; and that you may accept this sacrifice of nine female lambs and nine female goats, to be burnt whole for you in sacrifice. For these reasons be honoured with the sacrifice of this female lamb, become favourable and propitious to the Roman people, the Quirites, to the collegium of the quindecimviri, to myself, to my house, to my household.

"When the sacrifice was completed, games were celebrated by night on a stage, without the additional construction of a theatre and without the erection of seating. One hundred and ten matrons, who had been designated by decree of the quindecimviri, held sellisternia with two seats set out for Juno and Diana.

"Then the games were celebrated with plays in Latin on a wooden theatre which had been erected on the Campus Martius next to the Tiber, and in the same manner women who were mistresses of households held sellisternia, and the games which had begun to take place at night were not interrupted." ~ CIL 6.32323 Lines 90-110

"Juno Regina, we, one hundred and ten the mothers of the families of the people of Rome, the Quirites, pray You allow what is now beneficial to the people of Rome, the Quirites, may then be made better, and we brides implore You to aid and increase the sovereign power and majesty of the people of Rome, the Quirites, in war and peace, and always to watch over the fame of the Latins. And may You favor the people of Rome, the Quirites, and the legions of the people of Rome, the Quirites, and preserve the republic of the people of Rome, the Quirites, and may You willingly favor and prosper us, our homes, and our families. This is what the one hundred and ten mothers of the families of the people of Rome, the Quirites, we brides of our families, pray, entreat, and implore You to grant." ~ CIL 6.32329. 10 sqq. Acta Sacrorum Saecularium addition

"On the Kalends of June, on the Capitoline Hill, the emperor Caesar Augustus sacrificed a bull to Jupiter Optimus Maximus burnt whole for him, and in the same place Marcus Agrippa sacrificed a second. They spoke a prayer, as follows: "Jupiter Optimus Maximus, as it is prescribed for you in those books –and for this [reason] may good fortune attend the Roman people, the Quirites – let sacrifice be made to you with this fine bull. I beg you and pray." The rest as above. At the sacred vessel were Caesar, Agrippa, Scaevola, Sentius, Lollius, Asinius Gallus, and Rabilis (all the members of the quindecimviri).

"Then the games were celebrated with plays in Latin on a wooden theatre which had been erected on the Campus Martius next to the Tiber, and in the same manner women who were mistresses of households held sellisternia, and the games which had begun to take place at night were not interrupted.

"Then by night, next to the Tiber, the emperor Caesar Augustus made sacrifice to the divine Ilythiae with nine cakes, nine popana, nine phthoes; he spoke the following prayer: "Ilythia, as it is prescribed for you in those books –and for this reason [may every good fortune attend] the Roman people, the Quirites – let sacrifice be made to you with nine popana, nine cakes, nine phthoes. I beg and pray. The rest as above." ~ CIL 6.32323 Lines 103-110; 115-118

"Ilythia. You who are compassionate towards women, who suffer with great labor pains, their bodies strained in slow birth of the hidden child, gently attend her, Ilythia, and favor my prayers." ~ Ovidius Naso, Amores II.14.19-24

I have nothing to add to this tiresome discussion, except that in this point I agree that what Cato does it may be annoying to some, even disturbing, but it is not "proselytizing". I can understand and I can feel the suspicion, if I want, what M. Piscinus wrote about Cato, that he seems to bring up Christiniaty just for the sake of testing the people, but I can't definitely decide if this is true or not. In any case, no religion, no cult or absolutely no mention of the Christian of non-Christian religions should disturb anyone unless it is intentended to be offensive.
 
However, per the lex Octavia de sermone, the praetors govern the list, and they - and they ALONE - can decide what constitutes "order" in this list. This year's praetors consider that other religions than the state cult of NR are off topic, and no one shall be surprised if they act according to their principles.
 
Just only one more thing, and this is only personal, my consideration: all gods of all nations, even the Christian one, too, shall be respected by a Roman, and treated carefully, because if any god becomes offended, they may visit us with ire. Be pious, Romans, towards all forms of divinity!

Cato Moravio sal.

And, of course, you neglect the entire second section of the quote - the whole point of the passage, actually.

And because you - and Maior and Livia - seem to have difficulty with English, here is the definition of "proselytize":

"1: to induce someone to convert to one's faith; 2: to recruit someone to join one's party, institution, or cause."

I would like you to explain clearly and concisely, without grandstanding or bluster, *exactly* how that particular passage can be seen as "proselytizing" in any sense of the word.

Vale,

Cato

Subject: Cato's moderation
Cato omnibus in foro SPD

I have been placed - in violation of the Constitution of the Respublica - on
moderation. I received this email:

"Ex Officio Praetricum;
G. Equitius Cato, as per II.B.4 of the Constitution, as of 23 hr. Rome time
will be moderated for 24 hours.

you previously had been warned not to post bare religious texts on the Main
List. This is considered spam and the praetrices have received complaints of
proselytizing from the quirites."

The Constitution says that, as a citizen, I have:

"The right to participate in all public fora and discussions, and the right to
reasonably expect such fora to be supported by the State. Such communications,
regardless of their content, may not be restricted by the State, except where
they represent an imminent and clear danger to the Republic." - Const. N.R.
II.B.4

The posting of the text that I did is *not* an "imminent and clear danger" to
the Respublica; in fact, putting me on moderation for doing so violates the lex
Salicia poenalis directly:

"...who in any other way infringes the freedom of another person to hold
religious beliefs or to engage in religious teaching, practice, worship or
observance..." - lex Sal. poen. 19

Why do we accept this blatant violation of our law - by the same praetpor who
has shown hher contempt repeatedly both for my rights and my private cult?

Valete,

Cato

As I was saying, until in my passion I mistakenly hit the wrong key and not

find your attitude toward the message Cato sent in honor of my fallen
brothers, as highly offensive to me.As a matter of fact ,I consider it
highly contemptable, that on the occasion of our Memorial Day, that any
statement that would be honoring those Veterans, should be handled in such a
manner.I stand by you Cato on this one.I also wish to thank you, for having
been so thoughtful of their memory.Only those who have never been warriors
themselves, or have personaly never experienced the pain of loss for a
fallen brother, could be so terribly biased.So as I said please put me on

it seems your memory is short, because I definitely remember seeing many
posts from you in the past about your cultus privatus, in a quantity that
definitely reaches "spam" levels, and often with statements that offended
people and caused religious wars in the Main List.
This time you got a polite private warning, and you decided to respond with

Please do not be surprised if you will be put on moderation.

Subject: a. d. IV Nonas Iunonias: Ludi Saeculares, Day Two
M. Moravius Piscinus cultoribus Deorum et omnibus salutem plurimam dicit: Di vos servent cum vester.

Hodie est ante diem IV Nonas Iuninias; haec dies fastus aterque est: Ludi Saecilares

AUC 736 / 17 BCE: The Ludi Saeculares continue into the second day.

"Four days before the Nones of June (2 June), on the Capitoline Hill, the emperor Caesar Augustus sacrificed a cow to Juno Regina burnt whole for her, and in the same place Marcus Agrippa sacrificed a second, and spoke a prayer as follows: 'Juno Regina, as it is prescribed for you in those books – and for this reason may every good fortune attend the Roman people, the Quirites – let sacrifice be made to you with a fine cow. I beg and pray:[that you may increase the power and majesty of the Roman people, the Quirites, in war and peace; and that the Latins may always be obedient; and that you may grant eternal safety, victory and health to the Roman people, the Quirites; and that you may protect the Roman people, the Quirites, and the legions of the Roman people, the Quirites; and that you may keep safe and make greater the state of the Roman people, the Quirites, and that you may be favorable and propitious to the Roman people], the Quirites, to the collegium of the quindecimviri, to me, to my house, to my household; and that you may accept this sacrifice of nine female lambs and nine female goats, to be burnt whole for you in sacrifice. For these reasons be honoured with the sacrifice of this female lamb, become favourable and propitious to the Roman people, the Quirites, to the collegium of the quindecimviri, to myself, to my house, to my household.']

"Then Marcus Agrippa dictated to the one hundred and ten married women, mistresses of households, who had been commanded to assemble on the Capitoline Hill, the formula of prayer as follows: 'Juno Regina, if there is any better fortune that may attend the Roman people, the Quirites, we one hundred and ten mistresses of households of the Roman people, the Quirites, married women on bended knee, pray that you[bring it about, we beg and beseech that you increase the power and majesty of the Roman people, the Quirites in war and peace; and that the Latins may always be obedient; and that you may grant eternal safety, victory and health to the Roman people, the Quirites; and that you may protect the Roman people, the Quirites, and the legions of the Roman people, the Quirites; and [that you may keep safe and make greater] the state of the Roman people, the Quirites; and that you may be favourable and propitious to the Roman people, the Quirites, to the quindecimviri sacris faciundis, to us, [to our houses, to our households. These are the things that we one hundred and ten mistresses of households of the Roman people, the Quirites, married women on bended knee, pray, beg, and beseech.' At the sacred vessel were Marcus Agrippa...

"Games were held on the previous day [...]

"Then by night, next to the Tiber, the emperor Caesar Augustus sacrificed a pregnant sow, as a whole burnt offering, to Terra Mater, and spoke the following prayer: 'Terra Mater, as it is prescribed for you in those books –and for this reason may every good fortune attend the Roman people, the Quirites – let sacrifice be made to you with a pregnant sow of your own, as a whole burnt offering. I beg and pray.' The rest as above.

"The matrons held a sellsternia on this day in the same manner as on the previous day." ~ CIL 6.32323 Lines 119-138

Id est:

"Juno Regina, we, one hundred and ten the mothers of the families of the people of Rome, the Quirites, pray You allow what is now beneficial to the people of Rome, the Quirites, may then be made better, and we brides implore You to aid and increase the sovereign power and majesty of the people of Rome, the Quirites, in war and peace, and always to watch over the fame of the Latins. And may You favor the people of Rome, the Quirites, and the legions of the people of Rome, the Quirites, and preserve the republic of the people of Rome, the Quirites, and may You willingly favor and prosper us, our homes, and our families. This is what the one hundred and ten mothers of the families of the people of Rome, the Quirites, we brides of our families, pray, entreat, and implore You to grant." ~ CIL 6.32329. 10 sqq. Acta Sacrorum Saecularium addition


AUC 946 / 193 CE: Death of Emperor Didius Julianus

"In a short time Julianus was deserted by all and left alone in the Palace with one of his prefects, Genialis, and with Repentinus, his son-in law. Finally, it was proposed that the imperial power be taken away from Julianus by order of the senate. This was done, and Severus was forthwith acclaimed emperor, while it was given out that Julianus had taken poison. Nevertheless, the senate dispatched a delegation and through their efforts Julianus was slain in the Palace by a common soldier, while beseeching the protection of Caesar, that is to say, Severus."

"He lived fifty-six years and four months. He ruled two months and five days." ~ Historia Augusta, Didius Iulianus 8.6-8; 9.3


Today's thought is from Epictetus, Discourses 1.30.1:

"When you appear before some man of authority, remember that there is another who looks down from above on what passes here, and that it is Him whom you must please rather than this man."

So you used another email address, with a different name, to go around your moderation? That makes you a Troll, and one who has violated his moderation after repeated admonitions.

This time, proselytizing as you did by abusing a holiday meant to memorialize war heroes, you have placed yourself into the same category as those Baptists who appear at military funerals to bate the members of mourning families just so they can draw attention to their own extremist views. Disrespectful, insidious irritants, just like you.

The Praetrices were entirely correct, acting as they did after issuing warnings to you first, as had Praetores before them warned you not to proselytize, and taking further action only after you violated those warnings. And now, IMO they would be entirely correct to take further action against you for this breach of your moderation.

Aeternia Piscino omnibus spd,


This is Hogwash... Cato did no such thing of trolling... If you actually
think about it, all new citizens' posts get moderated for a certain amount
of time. So if Cato were to create a alter ego within the last 24 hrs,
this post should not have seen the light of day according to the guidelines
of this actual forum. This would fall under a dereliction and laxity of
duty on the part of Praetrice's and their minions errr assistants, there is
no sock-puppetry at play here. Will the person who posted on behalf of Cato
at least speak forth, so the air may be cleared upon this situation and rest
assuredly the troubled mind of the Pontifex Maximus before this becomes
overly dramatic than it needs to.

Salvete,

After re-reading this four times, this wasn't actually accusing Cato of what
I had mentioned of creating alternate personas, that was an error on my
part, which I apologize to Piscinus for and that only.

Still this isn't trolling, having the right to speak out when being accused
of something one did not do...

Cato's moderation was unfair, and I shall leave it at that.

Salve Aeternia!

I will not address the moderation issue because in my assessment there is much more to it than meets the eye - on all the actors' part and this current affair could have been averted.

However on the posting issue. At first I thought this was the Magistra's Latin assistant C. Sentius Leoninus, but it was beyond me why he should post for Cato. I did a brief search and the email "csentiusleoninus" goes back to Dec 17th 2009 and that asks a question that in my opinion, Leoninus, quite a good in Latin, would have known or would have at least googled the acronym.But it is possible. If this is not the Magistra's Leoninus then maybe bringing up an alternative persona may have some validity. However rather than waste time I wrote Leoninus in hopes another can of worms will not be opened on the ML.

Subject: URGENT - ONE CURILKE AEDILE, TWO ROGATORES AND TWO QUESTORES NEEDED
Salvete Quirites!

I want to remind You all of the need for candidates for the coming
election. The Res Publica really need You!

We now have one candidate for the position as CURULE AEDILE and we
don't any more candidates, but it is always nice to se more candidates
for such an important position.

We still need ONE more candidate for one position as ROGATOR, at the
moment we have only one. As this is a magistratesassiting the
Censores, it is an important position which is very much needed by
the Res Publica and it wil give a lot of experience of the inner
workings of the Res Publica.

We still have ZERO candidate for the the for TWO positions as
Quaestores. The position is the first step in the Cursus Honorum and
one of the offices needed to be able to stand for higher offices. The
Questorship is a good start in ones career in Nova Roma and each
Aedilis Plebis will have a Quaestor at their side. Working as a
Quaestor is also a good way to learn the ropes.

Salve Julia,


Yeah I know, I'm sure you're wondering what on earth I was possibly
thinking... I find myself asking the same question, I don't regret the
actions just the direction I decided to take it.. Piscinus' came up with
some tricky statements, left a great deal to be "alluded" to.. There was
an error on my judgement I'll admit that, but that doesn't excuse the fact
that I believe wholeheartedly that Senator Cato did nothing wrong, he
honored the dead in his own weird little way we should all be used to seeing
these particular types of posts from him by now . The time of this
moderation has now passed, as much as I'd like go into the query as why
does keep happening every couple months. I find this has left me a bitter
aftertaste and just not worth the dramatics, something more productive
should be occuring.

Vale,

Subject: Same tired old story...
Cato reminds me of the story of the little boy who had a stick and every chance he got, he would poke the family dog with his stick. Sometimes, the dog would ignore him, sometimes the dog would growl at him, but the little boy would not take the hint and kept poking the dog every chance he got. Finally, the dog bit him and then the little boy went crying to his parents claiming that the dog was mean and vicious to him alone.
Uh-huh....

Subject: Cato's moderation
C. Maria Caeca omnibus in Foro S. P. D.



I will be the first to admit that, on more than one occasion, I have been
exasperated by Cato's religious posts, usually because I either thought they
were unnecessary and added nothing to the ongoing discussion, or because I
found that they contained way more information about the Greek Orthodox
faith than I wanted, or needed, to know. However, if I lost interest, as I
often have, I just shrugged, hit delete, and went on to the next post. The
one thing I have *never* felt, and still don't, was threatened. I'm
comfortable with my personal spiritual choices, and have no problem with
other people who have made different choices speaking of theirs, in a
general way. Now .if Cato showed up on my doorstep with copies of the
Watchtower, or insisting that I "come to the one true faith" There would
be .issues .but he hasn't, and he won't. I've never seen that sort of
behavior from him, and besides, he wouldn't consider me worth the time or
bother.



What he posted on Memorial day was a passage from a sacred book. So
happens, it is his sacred book .and while I would have preferred the
beautiful language of the King James version, since there was no comment, no
dissertation, or even an explanation as to his reasons for posting, I just
assumed it was meant as a Memorial Day tribute, and let it go at that. When
Maior posted the passage concerning the self sacrifice of the Roman hero, I
felt it provided a lovely and elegant counter balance .and thought no more
about the matter.



I am going to digress for a moment, but you will see why, I think. I was
maybe 11 or 12 when the then leader of the American Nazi party was shot and
killed in Virginia. I happened to hear the news on our car radio, while
going somewhere with my Mother, and my reaction was basically, "good. They
should shoot them all and not allow the Nazis in the US" or words to that
effect. She said something then that has remained with me, and taught me
more about what freedom means than, I think, anything else. The gist of
what she said was that, if we expect to *have* freedom for ourselves, we
must *give* the same freedom, even to people or ideas we don't like or with
which we disagree, even violently. To do anything else denies them, but it
endangers us.



I think that the same philosophy applies. If the Constitution protects our
right to practice and discuss the Religio Romana .and it does .it also
protects people of other religions to speak of, and practice their faiths.
If we can speak of the things we hold sacred, publicly, then so can
they .and if we deny them that right, ultimately, we endanger our own
rights, because either the protections of the NR Constitution concerning
appropriate speech applies to *all* of us, or it applies to *none* of us.

Welcome to Nova Roma!
There is a group for new Nova Romans called aptly, New Roman, and you can find it here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/newroman/%c2%a0If you have any questions about Nova Roma, that's the place to ask.
Most provinces also have their own lists where you can communicate with citizens and prospective citizens who may live near you. You can find your province here: http://www.novaroma.org/nr/Provincia_%28Nova_Roma%29%c2%a0 Scroll down to the map and see what province you live in.
If you are a practitioner of the Religio Romana, or just interested in learning more about it, this list that might interest you: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ReligioRomana/?yguid=412484620
And if you are partial to the call of the Muses and have an artistic leaning, there is this group you might want to have a look at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ForTheMuses/
There are many facets to Nova Roma. Have fun exploring them all at our website.
Again, welcome!

Subject: a. d. III Nonas Iunonias: Bellona; Day three of the Ludi Saeculares
M. Moravius Piscinus cultoribus Deorum et omnibus salutem plurimam dicit: Bellona consilia communicet cum nos.

Hodie est ante diem III Nonas Iunonias; haec dies comitialis est: sacra Bellonae; Ludi Saecilares

AUC 399 / 354 ACE M. Fabius Ambustus held a triumph this day for his victory over the Tiburtines. ~ Fasti Triumphales

AUC 457 / 296 BCE: Temple of Bellona vowed; it became the place where declarations of war were posted in the Campus Martius.

"If today, Bellona, You grant us victory, a new temple I vow." ~ Titus Livius 10.19.17-18

Appius Claudius vowed a temple for Bellona during a war with the Etruscans. The date of its dedication is not known. There was a tradition that an earlier Appius Claudius, consul in 495 BCE had dedicated statues of his ancestors in a temple of Bellona (Pliny, H. N. 35.12). At the very least, it would seem that this Sabine Goddess may have been brought to Rome by the Claudii. She was at times explained as sister of Mars. At other times She appears as though She were wife of Mars, and some have suggested She replaced or absorbed the earlier Nerio. In the Imperial era She became assimilated with an Oriental War Goddess of the same name. The Oriental Bellona was sometimes identified with the Magna Mater. Her eastern priests performed a sword dance for Bellona in which they scored one another and flailed their blood about as they whirled.

A legend said that during the war with Pyrrhus of Epirus the fetiales of Rome were unable to perform the traditional ritual for declaring war because Pyrrhus had no land in Italy on which to cast a spear. Thus the Romans captured an Epiroite soldier and forced him to buy a plot of land in front of the Temple of Bellona. From then afterwards a fetialis would cast his iron spear from the columella onto this "foreign" land. (Livy 1.32.12; Ovid, Fasti 6.205 ff) As the Temple lay outside the pomoerium, Bellona's aedes became the preferred location for Roman generals to meet with foreign ambassadors since a Consul still under arms could not enter the City.

Plutarch, Roman Questions 43

"Why do the ambassadors to Rome, from whatever country they come, proceed to the Temple of Saturnus and register with the praefect of the treasury? Is it because Saturnus was a foreigner, and consequently takes pleasure in foreigners, or is the solution of this question also to be found in history? For it seems that in early days the treasurers used to send gifts to ambassadors, which were called lautia, and cared for the ambassadors when they were sick, and buried them at public expense if they died; but now, owing to the great number of embassies that come, this expensive practice has been discontinued; yet there still remains the preliminary meeting with the praefectus of the treasury in the guise of registration."


AUC 736 / 17 BCE: Ludi Saeculares continued into the third day

"Three days before the Nones of June (3 June), on the Palatine, the emperor Caesar Augustus and Marcus Agrippa made sacrifice [to Apollo and Diana with nine cakes,] nine popana, nine phthoes and they spoke a [prayer] as follows: 'Apollo, as it is prescribed for you in those books – and for this reason may every good fortune attend the Roman people, the Quiries – let sacrifice be made to you with nine popana, and nine cakes, and nine phthoes. I beg and pray.' The rest as above. 'Apollo, just as I have offered popana and prayed to you with proper prayer, for this same reason be honoured with these sacrificial cakes. Become favourable and propitious.' The same was said concerning the phthoes. To Diana in the same words.

"When the sacrifice was completed, the twenty-seven boys, who had been commanded, their fathers and mothers still living, and the same number of girls, sang the hymn. And in the same manner on the Capitoline. The hymn was composed by Quintus Horatius Flaccus. The quindecimviri were present: the emperor Caesar, Marcus Agrippa, Quintus Lepidus, Potitus Messalla, Caius Stolo, Caius Scaevola, Caius Sosius, Caius Norbanus, Marcus Cocceius, Marcus Lollius, Caius Sentius, Marcus Strigo, Lucius Arruntius, Caius Asinius, Marcus Marcellus, Decimus Laelius, Quintus Tubero, Caius Rebilus, Messalla Messallinus.

"When the theatrical games had ended at the [Â…] hour, close by that place where sacrifice had been made on the previous nights and a theatre had been set up and a stage, turning posts were set up and chariot racing was presented; Potitus Mesalla presented trick riders." ~ CIL 6.32323 Lines 139-154


Our thought for today is from Sextus 27:

MINERVALIS 53939

Salvete Omnes,

I am definitely tired of reading all this Christian propaganda on a
list that is not the official list of the Vatican (but maybe I am wrong?)

I am the first to defend the absolute freedom of speech (as says
Themistocles to Eurybiade, "strike, but listen"), and I recognize the
rights of some Zealotes to present counterfeiters as historians,
traitors as heroes, murderers as models and to take pleasure to tell
stories which are childish things. However, even a stupid pagan like
me can understand that it is inappropriate to preach certain things in
certain places.

But since it seems so acceptable, I decided to found my own religion.
Yes, after christ, mahommet, luther and others, me, Minervalis, I'm
the last fashionable prophet! What a chance for you to honor a living
prophet and receive the Truth of his lips! To show your gratitude, you
will have only (for the moment) to do a headstand every hour in the
direction of Lugdunum (where I was born), singing my praises.

Of course, my faithful disciples, you are encouraged to convert by
force, as usual, all the infidels that you encounter. If they do not
want to give their money, kill them: "Dieu reconnaîtra les siens."

Vale,

Holy Minervalis the Great

G. Equitius Cato is placed on 90 day moderation at this point.
Furthermore, anyone who forwards his posts to the main list will be placed on 30 day
moderation without prior private warning.

Constitution II.B.4
The right to participate in all public fora and discussions, and the right
to reasonably expect such fora to be supported by the State. Such
communications, regardless of their content, may not be restricted by the State,
except where they represent an imminent and clear danger to the Republic.

Such officially sponsored fora may be expected to be reasonably moderated
in the interests of maintaining order and civility;





Several questions spring to mind here.

I. Has Equitius Cato demonstrated any inclination to replace our current
religion with his?

II. Was he uncivil? Did a riot break out upon his posting?

III. Is this because he quoted from the bible? What if he quoted
Emerson's Concord Hymm instead, that refers to God as well?

Where is your burden of proof here? The Constitution of Nova Roma
guarantees freedom of speech as well as freedom of a religion. In any Nova Roma
Fora. This is to keep petty dictators from throwing their weight around in
the name of the Constitution.

So unless his speech honoring those who fell in battle on last Memorial Day
caused a riot, or forced all pagan here to convert to Christianity, I'd
say you over reacted, and your edict should be withdrawn.

After all it is the right thing to do.

I myself have graduated from IUPUI in Public Management with a minor in History. I love all things Rome, and have found many peers in this group, so if you are the same as I, I think you will be satisfied in your decision to join.

Have you applied for citizenship with Nova Roma, or just signed up for this group? I have, but am waiting to clear up a situation with my surname before I can take my citizenship test.

Salve,

As you are, I am also interested in Latin and Rome history and mythology. I am working as a senior automotive engineer in Robert Bosch India. I too read daily mails and enjoy them.

I have recently joined this group. I don’t know how to apply for citizenship. What is citizenship test meant for? I am interested, can anybody suggest me?

Vale,

Salve,

Welcome! I rarley respond in our group since I signed up in December 2009, but I have enjoyed every daily post I have gained. You can learn much about Latin, and anything Roman! I myself have graduated from IUPUI in Public Management with a minor in History. I love all things Rome, and have found many peers in this group, so if you are the same as I, I think you will be satisfied in your decision to join.

Have you applied for citizenship with Nova Roma, or just signed up for this group? I have, but am waiting to clear up a situation with my surname before I can take my citizenship test.

Either way, welcome to the group!

Vale,

Group: Nova-Roma Message: 76003 From: marcushoratius Date: 2010-06-04
Subject: Pridie Nonas Iunonias: Socrates; Hercules Magnus Custos; Ludi Saecul
M. Moravius Piscinus cultoribus Deorum et omnibus salutem plurimam dicit: Hercules virtutem in nos addat.

Hodie est die pristine Nonas Iunias; haec dies comitialis est: Herculi Custodi

AUC 283 / 470 BCE: Birth of Socrates

"His (Socrates') formula for prayer was simple: 'Give me that which is best for me,' for, said he, the Gods know best what good things are - to pray for gold or silver or despotic power were no better than to make some particular throw at dice or stake in battle or any such thing the subject of prayer, of which the future consequences are manifestly uncertain." ~ Xenophon, Memorabilia 1.3

"As regards the ordinary necessities of life, his advice was, "Act as you believe these things may best be done." But in the case of those darker problems, the issues of which are incalculable, he directed his friends to consult the oracle, whether the business should be undertaken or not. "No one," he would say, "who wishes to manage a house or city with success: no one aspiring to guide the helm of state aright, can afford to dispense with aid from above. Doubtless, skill in carpentering, building, smithying, farming, of the art of governing men, together with the theory of these processes, and the sciences of arithmetic, economy, strategy, are affairs of study, and within the grasp of human intelligence. Yet there is a side even of these, and that not the least important, which the Gods reserve to themselves, the bearing of which is hidden from mortal vision. Thus, let a man sow a field or plant a farm never so well, yet he cannot foretell who will gather in the fruits: another may build him a house of fairest proportion, yet he knows not who will inhabit it. Neither can a general foresee whether it will profit him to conduct a campaign, nor a politician be certain whether his leadership will turn to evil or good. Nor can the man who weds a fair wife, looking forward to joy, know whether through her he shall not reap sorrow. Neither can he who has built up a powerful connection in the state know whether he shall not by means of it be cast out of his city. To suppose that all these matters lay within the scope of human judgment, to the exclusion of the preternatural, was preternatural folly. Nor was it less extravagant to go and consult the will of Heaven on any questions which it is given to us to decide by dint of learning. As though a man should inquire, 'Am I to choose an expert driver as my coachman, or one who has never handled the reins?''Shall I appoint a mariner to be skipper of my vessel, or a landsman?' And so with respect to all we may know by numbering, weighing, and measuring. To seek advice from Heaven on such points was a sort of profanity. 'Our duty is plain,' he would observe; 'where we are permitted to work through our natural faculties, there let us by all means apply them. But in things which are hidden, let us seek to gain knowledge from above, by divination; for the Gods,' he added, 'grant signs to those to whom They will be gracious.'" ~ Xenophon, Memorabilia 1.1


AUC 535 / 218 ACE: Dedication of the Temple of Hercules Magnus Custos in the Circus Flaminius

Ovid suggests that this temple was built due to a consultation of the Sibylline Oracles. The Circus Flaminius was dedicated in 221 and Livy mentions that a supplicatio was held here in 218 ace. Thus the dedication of the Temple of Hercules the Great Guardian must have before 218, and since Hercules was the patron deity of the Circus Flaminius it can be assumed that the dedication of His temple there would have been made along with the Circus itself. A statue of Hercules was installed in the temple in 189 ace.

AUC 671 / 82 ACE: Restoration and rededication of the Temple of Hercules Custus in the Circus Flaminius.

"Hercules, Founder of our city, You who are called Alcidus, in whose footsteps we now reside on this hallowed earth, avert the threatening storms from our land." ~ Silius Italicus Punica 1.505-7

"Why not arouse yourself, Hercules, to come and to graciously honour these feats of the festival we hold in your name; whether to split the clouds with your discus, or send your javelin speeding more swiftly than Zephyrs, or whether it please you to lock arms in a Libyan wrestling competition, indulge our ceremonies with your divine presence." ~ Statius, Silvae 3.1.154-158

"Why is it that, when the sacrifice to Hercules takes place, they mention by name no other God, and why is a dog never seen within His enclosure, as Varro recorded? Do they make mention of no other God because they regard Hercules as a demigod? But, as some relate, even while He was still on earth, Evander erected an altar to Him and brought Him sacrifice. And of all animals he contended most with a dog, for it is a fact that this beast always gave Him much trouble, Cerebus, for instance. And, to crown all, when Oeonus, Licymnius' son, had been murdered by the sons of Hippocoon because of a dog, Hercules was compelled to engage in battle with them, and lost many of His friends and His brother Iphicles." ~ Plutarch, Roman Questions 90


AUC 736 / 17 BCE: The Ludi Saeculares continued into the fourth day.

There is a gap in the Acta Sacrorum Saecularium Celebratorum on what exactly was performed on 4 June. However an edict was issued either on the third or forth extending the Ludi:

"And an edict was issued in the following words: The quindecimviri sacris faciundis decree: We have added seven extra days of games to the holy rites of the games, and we shall commence them on the Nones of June (5 June) with plays in Latin in the wooden theatre which is next to the Tiber at the second hour; Greek shows in the theatre of Pompey at the third hour; Greek stage plays in the theatre which is in the Circus Flaminius at the fourth hour." ~ CIL 6.32323 Lines 155-8:

Emperor Claudius celebrated the Ludi Saeculares again in 47 CE to mark the 800th anniversary of the Founding of Rome. Domitian celebrated them again in 88 CE, roughly one hundred years after they were instituted by Augustus. Then in 204 CE Severus marked the second hundredth years and in 248 CE Philippus again celebrated the Ludi Saeculares.

From the fifth century we get a description of later events.

"Heralds go about summoning everyone to attend a spectacle they have never seen bfore and will never see again. In summer, a few days before it begins, the Quindecemviri sit in the Capitol and in the Palatine temple on a tribunal and distribute purifying agents, such as torches, brimstone and pitch, to the people; slaves do not participate in this, only freemen. When all the people assemble in the above-mentioned places and in the temple of Diana on the Aventine, each one bringing wheat, barley and beans, they keep the all-night vigils to the Fates with great solemnity for [lacuna] nights. Then when the time arrives for the festival, which is celebrated for three days and three nights in the Campus Martius, the victims are dedicated on the bank of the Tiber at Tarentum.

"Therefore, as the [Sibylline] oracle truly says, while all this was observed according to direction, the Roman Empire was safe and Rome remained in control of virtually all the inhabited world, but once this festival was neglected after Diocletian's abdication, the empire gradually collapsed and was imperceptibly barbarized.... From the consulship of Chilo and Libo [204 CE], when Severus celebrated the Secular Games, until Diocletian for the ninth time and Maximian for the eighth were consuls [304 CE], one hundred years elapsed. Maximian wanted to celebrate the festival then, contrary to rule, but next year Diocletian became a private citizen instead of emperor and Maximian followed his example. When Constantine and Licinius were in their third consulship [314 CE], the period of one hundred and ten years had elapsed and they ought to have kept up the traditional festival. By neglecting it, matters were bound to come to their present unhappy state." ~ Zosimus, Historia Nova 2.5.1-2; 2.7.1-2


AUC 957 / 204 CE: The first day of the Ludi Latini et Graeci honorarii


Our thought for today comes from Epicurus, Savran Maxims 5:

"It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and honorably and justly, and it is impossible to live wisely and honorably and justly without living pleasantly. Whenever any one of these is lacking, when, for instance, the man is not able to live wisely, though he lives honorably and justly, it is impossible for him to live a pleasant life."

Be sure that we are looking between us about a veto. But as you know we have time zones difficulties. I just come back from my job.

And I am happy to read that my colleague Valeria Messallina gave you an answer.

I think like you that 3 months Cato's moderation is unfair and against the spirit of the Constitution.

Just to reassure everyone that I have not forgotten about this important issue, but that I was informed earlier today that praetrix, E. Iunia Laeca, will be posting her reasons for the three month moderation of C. Equitius Cato which were not included in the original praetricum.

Group: Nova-Roma Message: 76011 From: Publius Memmius Albucius Date: 2010-06-04
Subject: Veto on the recent moderation praet. sanction vs. civis G. Equitius
Consul Albucius praetoribus, Equitio Catoni, omnibusque s.d.


You will find below my veto on the 90 days moderation measure that both praetors have taken against G. Equitius Cato.



I would have wished avoiding vetoing, for a second time since last March, a praetorian measure but I decided to do it now for a few recent circumstancial reasons, that will complete, for your information,the strict legal reasons that you may find in my intercession edictum below.

I just read the message of Tribune Valeria who informs the Forum romanum that Praetrix maior Iunia will explain why "her reasons (..) were not included in the original praetricum".



But this message, which probably intends in good will solving an immediate difficulty, introduces at the same time two new ones: first, the measure is told, when we read it, to have been issued not just by Pr. Iunia, but jointly by *both* praetrices. Second, Tribune Valeria underlines here a major absence in the praetorial decision: its absence of motivation, which is the main legal mean on which the vetoing edictum below is issued. Whatever Hon. Iunia may say afterwards, this absence stays.



In charge with my colleague and the censors to watch that the auctoritas and dignitas of our magistracies may not be unusefully challenged, I prefer avoiding the complex situation where the Pr. maior would come to explain why she, but not only she, did not issue a formally legal edict, with the additional risk that, while a debate would probably begin on her explanations and their legal value, the initial edict would go on standing and that, in the middle of the confusion, the intercession delay become over, at the only prejudice of the sanctioned citizen.



So, the conservatory veto below will help the praetrices to reevaluate quietly their intentions, and, if they consider that the concerned citizen, who has been moderated (1 + nearly 2 = ) 3 days still deserves a praetorian administrative sanction, to work better and more on a new edictum that will respect his rights.



I last invite the praetura not to hesitate keeping contact with the consulate to *prevent* the kind of situations we meet today. I also confirm the tribunes that the consuls are ready to have with them every exchange of view on such situations.





------------------The vetoing edictum-----------------------------------


Edictum cons. Memmium concerning the 90 days praetorian moderation issued against citizen G. Equitius Cato on a.d. III nonas Iunias 2763 auc (de moderatione praetoriana Equitii Catonis a.d. III nonas Iunias 2763 auc)


In view of :
- the Constitution of Nova Roma (http://www.novaroma.org/nr/Current_constitution %28Nova_Roma%29), especially its article II.B.4 and B.6, along with IV, A.3;
- the laws of Nova Roma, especially Vediae de ratione edictorum, Cornelia de linguis publicis, Octavia de sermone, Arminia Equitia de imperio and the two Saliciae;
- the mos maiorum, especially its rules relative to the praetorian powers;
- the general principles of law
- the measure taken by both praetrices and published by Pr. Hortensia on Thu June 3rd, 2010 (a.d. III nonas Iun. 2763 auc) in the Forum Romanum (ML msg nb 75973 08:21 Rome time) against G. Equitius Cato, placing him under moderation during 90 days ;


Considering that :

- by placing civis G. Equitius Cato �on a 90 days moderation� without explaining, in their decision, the factual and legal reason(s) of a measure limiting the rights of a citizen of Nova Roma, nor why the concerned citizen deserved, after having been moderated for 24 hours on May 31st, being moderated for an additional and longer period of 90 days, the praetrices have not made a correct application of Nova Roma Law;

- the fact that the reasons or motivations supporting the praetorian decision may be found in or interpreted according the last speeches in the Forum Romanum is indifferent, every officer and magistrate being expected to bring, on the support of every decision restricting the rights of any citizen, specially constitutional ones, due factual and legal motivation(s) so that, specially, the concerned civis may, if (s)he wishes to, contest legally the validity of such a decision;



for these reasons, I, P. Memmius Albucius, consul for year 2763 a.u.c., issue the present edict:




Article 1:

The above referred measure taken by praetors Iunia and Hortensia and published by Pr. Hortensia against G. Equitius Cato, placing him under moderation during 90 days, is hereby vetoed.



Article 2:

This edict takes effect immediately. From its publication in Nova Roma Forum Romanum, G. Equitius Cato recovers his right to speak in Nova Roma public fora with no praetorian control (Yahoo!'s management category known as �general settings�).



Article 3:

Every Nova Roman public officer shall, as far as their duties require, enforce the present edict, which will be published in the Tabularium Novae Romae and in Nova Roma relevant internet 'discussion' lists.

I thank Consul Albucius for sparing me from having to post an intercessio against the Praetrices, despite the courtesy my colleague and I extended to Iunia Laeca on account of her  illness.
I also understand the Consul's reasons why he felt the matter could not wait any longer for a response from Praetrix Laeca.

Subject: NONAE IUNIAE: Hercules and Semo Sancus Dius Fidius
M. Moravius Piscinus cultoribus Deorum et omnibus salutem plurimam dicit: Di vos inculumes custodiant

Hodie est Nonae Iuniae; haec dies nefastus est: Dio Fidio in colle

Felices natalis Amica Lucia Livia Plauta! Venus te complectatur dulce et det tibi quae veils.


AUC 287 / 466 ACE: Temple of Semo Sancus dedicated on the Quirinal Hill.

"Because Your hands have purified the Earth, the Sabines of Cures called You Sancus, The Holy One. Hail Father Sancus, whom austere Juno now favors. O Sancus, may You wish to be with me and Your spirit be in my books." ~ Propertius Eligiae 4.9.71-4

The Temple of Semo Sangus (Sancus) was said to have been vowed by Tarquinius Superbus and dedicated by Sp. Postumius on the Quirinal Hill in 466 BCE. However there was an earlier altar within a fanum near this site that had been introduced by Titus Tatius (Dionysius of Halicarnassus 2.49.2; 4.58; 9.60; Varro L. L. 5.74; Livy 8.20.8). His nature was at times described as Dius Fidius; in Greek, Zeus Pistios. The identification of Semo Sancus, a Sabine deity of sowing, as Dius Fidius, a deity of good faith in oaths, would seem to have begun with Aelius Stilo, and was accepted by Verrius (Varro L. L. 5.66; Festus 241). After this identification was well established we find Him called upon in the Imperial Era as Semo Sancus Deus Fidius (CIL 6.568).

Varro tells how a hole pierced the roof of the temple, since, "Some say that it is improper to take an oath by His name when you are under a roof." The same was true of Tutilina and probably other agricultural deities (Plinius Secundus H. N. 18.2). It was in the Temple of Semo Sancus that the Romans stored their oldest treaty, which was between Tarquinius Superbus and the Gabii, made of planks of wood bound by the hide of a sacrificed ox (Dionysius of Halicarnassus 4.58). Also held in His temple was a bronze statue of Gaia Caecilia as she was idealized as the model of "a fair and virtuous woman" (Plutarch, Rom. Ques. 30; i. e.Tanaquil).

Varro also discusses how the name Dius was related to the early name for Jupiter as Diovis, both names referring to the sky. At Iguvium, among the Umbrians, one of their most important deities was Fisiovis Sancius, at times called Fisus. Fisus would seem to be related to Fides, said to have been brought to Rome by Numa Pompilius, if not by Titus Tatius beforehand (Livy 1.21.4). At Iguvium the sacrifice performed for Fisus had his priest don a mandraclo, or double folded white cloth, over his right hand. In similar fashion, for the rite performed for Fides on 1 Oct the flamines maiores bind their right arms from above the elbow to nearly the finger tips. In each case, Umbrian Fisus Sancius, Sabine Semo Sangus, and Roman Dius Fidius there was a strong relation, if not identification, with Jupiter. From Aelius Stilo again there appears an association of Semo Sancus with Hercules as the son of Jupiter (Varro, L. L. 5.66). This was clearly a Greek influence, a syncretism of Heracles with Dius Fidius due to their similar roles as deities by which oaths were sworn and vows made under an open sky. By the time of Tiberius, Ovid was feigning ignorance of Semo Sancus as Hercules was, more and more, taking over His role. Men swore oaths by Semo Sancus, Hercules, Pollux (but not Castor), or by their Genius. Women swore by their Juno (Gellius, Noctes Atticae 11.6.1; Seneca, Epstiles 12.2). Among later Roman scholars therefore Hercules came to be identified as Semo Sancus Dius Fidius.

Swearing by Hercules

"Why do they tell children, whenever they would swear by Hercules, no to do so under a roof, and bid them go out into the open air? Is it, as some relate, because they believe that Hercules had no pleasure in staying in the house, but rejoiced in a life in the open air and a bed under the stars? Or is it rather because Hercules is not one of the native Gods, but a foreigner from afar? For neither do they swear under the roof by Bacchus, since he also is a foreign God if He is from Nysa. Or is this but said in jest to the children and what is done is really a check upon over-readiness and hastiness to swear, as Favorinus stated? For what is done following, as it were, upon preparation produces delay and allows deliberations. Yet one might urge against Favorinus the fact that this custom is not common, but peculiar to Hercules, as may be seen from the legend about him: for it is recorded that he was so circumspect regarding an oath that he swore but once and for Phyleus, the son of Augeas, alone. Wherefore they say that the prophetic priestess also brought up against the Spartans all the oaths they had sworn, saying that it would be better and much more to be desired if they would keep them!" ~ Plutarch, Roman Questions 28


AUC 736 / 17 ACE: The fifth day of the Ludi Saeculare

"On the Nones of June (5 June), seven extra days of games were commenced: Plays in Latin were given in the wooden theatre; Greek shows in the theatre of Pompey; Greek stage plays in the theatre which is in the Circus Flaminius." ~ CIL 6.32323 Lines 160-161

AUC 736 / 17 ACE: Day one of Ludi Latini et Graeci Honorarii (Day 2 in 204 ACE)

The Ludi Saeculares were held in the area of the Campus Martius called Terentum. The Ludi Latini et Graeci involved theater plays held in addition to the Ludi Saeculares. Special temporary theaters were built of wood, probably in the Forum, for the Ludi Latini to offer plays in Latin to a general audience. Plays of the Ludi Graeci were held in the stone theater of Pompeius Magnus


Our thought for today comes from Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 12.17:

"If it is not right, do not do it: if it is not true, do not say it."

V Rutilia Enodia omnibus SPD

I also wish Iunia Laeca a complete & speedy recovery.

Please clarify for me why, when the ex officio was published under the names of both praetrices, we needed any additional explanation from Pr. Iunia Laeca as to her reasoning?

I was also deeply offended by the messages crossposted to the list as "evidence". They do not appear to be recent posts. Were these private complaints posted to the praetorian office, or from some other time? In any event, they were ugly and bordering, if not actually crossing into, impiety. Apologies to the list are due from the authors.

Valete omnes,

Omnibus Plautaeque s.d.

Salvete omnes,

Let us just think of what is behind these simple words: at least 3 Novaromans meet:
- one is Italian and works in Hungary;
- a second is hosting in Bulgaria
- a third is a fresh citizen of Estonia who crossed down Europe (let us remember the current economic situation)...

... and they "have fun"!!! :-)

Some of us show how to decline the "yes we can" at the Novaroman mood.

Excellent! Thanks to Celsus and his friends and guests, and sincere salutations to them.

Valete omnes Liviaque,

Salve,

Echoing Diana's sentiments. Just a cold? Seriously? If nothing more your
fellow Praetrix should've at least posted stating she wasn't feeling well,
and requested her desire for recovery time. That would've boded well than
the absolute silence that was delivered on her part.

Saying nothing during time of crisis not beneficial. Of course if Praetrix
Laeca, is truly seriously ill, I will recant my statement above, and wish
her a speedy recovery.

Otherwise Try again.

I extend my deep appreciation to those on this list that have wished
me well with my health issue. I am being treated for an immune system
disorder and making progress. And special thanks to my colleague
Maior who was doing me the favor of downplaying my illness a bit to
avoid unnecessary concern by those who would potentially worry more
than may be warranted.

I am here and working on the current issue. To those that feel this is
a "crisis" to such an extreme extent (i.e. Diana et Aeternia) that my
health, or that of anyone's within this organization, regardless of
who they are, should be compromised to jump to your will, I envy your
good health and pray that you continue to never have a difficult day
in your lives.

Aeternia Equestriae sal,


Well now, if this how this going to go so be it. Praetrix, if you had read
and actually understood my post, I of course would recant nay harsh words
towards you if health was terribly declining. And I apologize if you find
my words or the following words I am about to say offensive in any capacity.

I apologize to the members of the list, all several hundred of you, I'm
sorry that my following statements will indeed make look villainous but I
will not idly sit and allow this to be uttered...

Laeca, You and I don't know exactly know "each other" so we are of course
going to assume things of each other basically.

First off, you act as if I had never had a sick day in my life, which is of
course the total case of wrong. Very recently I had suffered strep throat
for nearly three weeks, and guess what I went to work every day pretty much,
and I still posted to the 10 plus lists that I either particpate in,
moderate or own. And when it comes to me being sick, I hate letting anyone
know about it, for I consider it a weakness, but at some point I had to let
people know I was very ill, and I had to slow down, but did it stop me
having strep throat stop me from my typing at all, heckles no it did not..

Secondly, what I consider a "crisis" and what you would perhaps consider a
"crisis" are going to completely different thats expected. But a Senator
posted a simple biblical passage, and he gets moderated for 90 days? I'm
sorry but that's a bit harsh of a sentence and there is nothing you or your
fellow Praetor will tell me otherwise that will change my mind, so yes in
my microcosm of a world that does call for a label of "crisis".

Thirdly, as a elected Magistrate for the people of Nova Roma, you in some
strange scheme of things represent the will of both the Patrician and
Plebian class. As for as that you are required to act when it is required
to do your job, and as me being a member of the Patrician class, I saw that
you were doing nothing it is within my right as a citizen to speak up.

Fourthly, if you think for five seconds that you "jump to my will"... I am
no tyrant, how dare you even attempt to elude to such a thing.
Sadly you are mistaken, I do not ask you to jump to my personal will Laeca,
I just ask that you do the right thing as an elected official of this
organization that we both know and love as Nova Roma.

Because honestly, you do not want to jump to my personal will, pray to the
gods that day never comes...

Lastly, I do hope you get over whatever malady you seemed to have caught.

Vale,
Aeternia

MINERVALIS 53939

Salvete Omnes,

I am definitely tired of reading all this Christian propaganda on a
list that is not the official list of the Vatican (but maybe I am wrong?)

I am the first to defend the absolute freedom of speech (as says
Themistocles to Eurybiade, "strike, but listen"), and I recognize the
rights of some Zealotes to present counterfeiters as historians,
traitors as heroes, murderers as models and to take pleasure to tell
stories which are childish things. However, even a stupid pagan like
me can understand that it is inappropriate to preach certain things in
certain places.

But since it seems so acceptable, I decided to found my own religion.
Yes, after christ, mahommet, luther and others, me, Minervalis, I'm
the last fashionable prophet! What a chance for you to honor a living
prophet and receive the Truth of his lips! To show your gratitude, you
will have only (for the moment) to do a headstand every hour in the

This is not a matter to be left to drop. You, M Hortensia, and
ostensibly too your colleague, have sought on more than just this
occasion, to stifle any statements in this forum which do not adhere to
your religious views. The lex constitutiua grants free speech, and you
have already demonstrated your intention to curtail that. In itself,
that is a matter of extreme importance, and anyone committed to the
preservation of individual rights, justice, and the rule of law,
ultimately should stand on the matter. It is not something to be let to
drop, whether you and your colleague, or anyone else, commits the offence.

> Finally about G. Equitius Cato & his endless religious trolling,
> documented since 2007 on the ML up to today. I've brought the matter
> up in the CP.

You have brought it up there. I will fight you there on the matter as
well. C Equitius Cato, just as much as any other citizen, has the right
not only to his religious beliefs, but to speak on them as well; the lex
constitutiua guarantees that right, and for as much as you may find
distasteful whatever he may have to say, he has the right to say it, and
for my own part, I will do anything and everything necessary, within the
scope of the law, to ensure that you do not stifle him or anyone else
from doing so.

If you, or your colleague, had reasonable justification for your
attempted moderation, not only would there have been no intercessio (nor
even a need for it) on the part of the honourable Consul P Memmius (or
by the Tribunes), the People would have been clamouring, publicly, for
you to have acted. They did not. Had the People, or any citizen, been
so offended by what Cato saw fit to post, you would be able to produce a
complaint to that effect from a time frame very near to the time in
which it was posted. You can not. Not only these things, but just as
much, if you had reasonable justification, you would have posted it
concurrent with the pronouncement of his moderation and your taking
action to affect such moderation. You did not.

You know, and you knew it then, that you did not have any reasonable,
justifiable cause for placing C Equitius on moderation. You
deliberately chose the original twenty-four hour period so as to prevent
the Tribunate from exercising its right of intercessio within its
seventy-two hour period. You know that C Equitius has acted, and
continues to act, within the law as it is written. Yet you continue to
seek to stamp out your opposition by whatever means you have available
to you, at the expense of soiling the dignity of your office, at the
much greater expense of outright breaking the law, and at the greatest
expense, trampling over the lex constitutiua and the rights of the
citizens whom it is your duty to protect. No, Marca Hortensia, this
matter cannot be dropped. Dropping this matter would be tantamount to
saying exactly what you already have said in placing C Equitius on
moderation: that the rights of citizens are unimportant. This cause
cannot ever be dropped. Nor can this matter individually ever be
dropped, not until you and your colleague begin to act within the bounds
of the law, and end your continued attempts at tyranny.

Q Caecilius Metellus Equestriae Iuniae Laecae apud Quirites in Foro dicit:

I am no stranger to illness myself, and knowing that, I do hope you
return to wellness much sooner than later. But that is secondary to the
issue at hand.

I can respect individuals for continuing in their office even when their
health is not at its best; that, in itself, is a showing of strength
that many either do not have, or else choose not to show. That too, is
secondary to the matter.

What is of utmost importance is a simple, singular thought. You stood
for office, were elected to office, and have taken and currently hold
office. As such, you have a responsibility to the People. If you
cannot uphold that responsibility, it would be much better for the
People and for the organisation that you rather resign honourably than
that you continue inactive.

I am certain that, if I were to stop here, what I am saying would be
more manipulated than misunderstood. So let me be infinitely clear: I
am *not* calling for your resignation. What I am saying is this: if you
feel that you can continue in your office, I am, in fact, asking you to
do so. If, however, you cannot do so, then I am stating that your
resignation is in order. Neither any more nor any less than that am I
saying. No office, in any organisation, whatsoever, is served by an
individual who is absent from the office or incapable of fulfilling its
duties and responsibilities.

No this matter should not be dropped and swept aside like it never happened,
this time not an acceptable recourse.

Of course the Senator is a friend, but that does not matter I would stick up
for anyone friend or foe alike, who has been treated this badly, just
because someone is not a participant of the Cultus Deorum, doesn't mean
their beliefs should be trampled on such a continuous pattern it isn't
right. And you and I could argue that till both sun rises and the moon has
passed, and we would still be at this impasse.

But you are absolutely right, I was going to keep quietly exceedingly mum
but I have submitted my declaration of canididacy (yes the sky has truly
fallen) for the position of Rogator.

Consider me now intent to do something.

V Rutilia Enodia Iuniae Equestriae sal.

I felicitate you on your returning health. Having lived with immunosuppression for nearly 20 years, I would be happy to offer you the benefit of my experience.

Again, for the sake of clarity, were you aware of and approve the ex officio statement moderating Cato and the entire contents of that statement that went out over your signature?

Optime vale,
V Rutilia Enodia

Subject: Edictum Praetorium de Moderation C. Equitius Cato
Praetricum Equestria Iunia Laeca M. Hortensia Maior salutem plurimam
dicunt

Edictum Praetorium de Moderation C. Equitius Cato
----------------------------------------------------------

C. Equitius Cato is hereby placed on moderated status for a period of
24 hours for failing to moderate his religious postings as requested
by the praetores. C. Equitius Cato is further placed on moderation
for an additional 30 days for circumventing his May 31st penalty of 24
hour moderation by posting to the main list using another unmoderated
citizen's Yahoo! ID and email address.

This edict takes effect immediately.

Datum Nonas Iunias 2763 a.u.c. (June 5th) P. Memmio Albucio K. Fabio
Buteone Quintiliano II coss.


Basis:
-------
- Citizens have the right to expect public fora to be reasonably
moderated in the interests of maintaining order and civility
(Constitution II B.4).
- Praetores are granted the powers and duties of moderators and
empowered to create and enforce policies of acceptable behavior in
public fora (Lex Octavia de Sermone III).
- Complaints were made concerning religious texts quoted and posted
out of context by C. Equitius Cato were being perceived as
proselytizing.
- The praetors sent a private warning to C. Equitius Cato to keep his
religious postings within historical context, etc.
- C. Equitius Cato disregarded the praetorian warning and continued to
post passages of bible scripture out of historical context, and/or
relevant discussion, etc.
- As a result, C. Equitius Cato was placed on moderation for a period
of 24 hours for failing to moderate his religious postings as requested,
- C. Equitius Cato circumvented the penalty of 24 hour moderation by
posting under another's email address,
- For violating the moderation measure using deceptive means, C.
Equitius Cato is placed under moderation for a period of 30 days.

Subject: Re: Edictum Praetorium de Moderation C. Equitius Cato
Salvete;

I left both the Roman Catholic Church and Christianity in 1975. A
fellow Citizen who posts from his Christian Holy Book is neither a
threat nor a bother to me. I read or disregard as my mood suits me,
as I would with anyone who does not follow the same Cultus Privatus as
do I. This is part of being an adult, as my dad, mom and other elders
of my family taught.

In my considered opinion, the Praetors have overstepped the bounds of
common sense and maturity.

Do we have a recall mechanism in place to strip them of Imperium and
the authority to moderate this list in light of their obviously flawed
idea of freedom of speech, which is embodied in the Nova Roma
Constitution? (Here's a BIG HINT, religious posts, which are not
about what little we know of the Religio Roman, are NOT an immanent
threat to the Res Publica; only a cretin would think so.)

Is this penchant for slapping down Gaius Equitius Cato a holdover from
that "mood" which drove Lucius Equitius Cincinnatus away from our
ranks for unjust cause?

Is this a sign that some here have such failure in their own lives
that the virtual reality "here" fills in their personal soul chasm
with a sense of Power?

Well, I imagine the CP will look at the Constitution, read the supremacy
clause, and say: You were wrong.

Praetor, your devotion to Pagan Nova Roma is admirable, yet short sided.
You are allowed to hate Christianity. What you are not allowed to do is
let such hate color your political decisions. Because muzzling a citizen
because you dislike their religious statements for the sole reason you
dislike their religion, you have overstepped your imperium. There was no outcry
of "Crucify Cato!" nor did the street riot break out. As for his use of
Domius, it literally means overseer. It is not limited to Christians is it
not, Lady?

People did not really get up in arms here UNTILL you pulled the excessive
moderation on Cato.

A Representative Democracy elects people to carry out the People's will.
The People seem to be ambivalent about Cato's postings until his right to
do so becomes threatened. Then and only then is the person that threatened
become the subject of postings. So it follows: The People did NOT elect
you to muzzle Cato. Nay, they elected you to maintain the peace here as
defined by the Nova Roman Constitution. If you do not know what that is,
perhaps you should re read it.

To those who would urge me to be more circumspect, thank you, but no.

Nova Roma to fill in the hollow existence they lead "in real life."

I urge the vast majority of Cives Nova Roma, who are here to help

Let me confirm that personally.

If the praetors would care to check my IP address, they will find it is in Melbourne, Australia which is a hell of a long way from New York city.

I would also like to add my voice to the call to have the praetors stripped of their imperium. Perhaps a period of civil disobedience is in order until someone does slap these clowns down permanently.

Equestria Iunia Laeca praetrix C. Mariae Caecae sal.

The praetores are granted the powers and duties of moderators and
empowered to create and enforce policies of acceptable behavior in
public fora (Lex Octavia de Sermone III).

The moderation length is intended to reflect the seriousness of the
offense. C. Equitius Cato could have posted using his own email
address and the praetorian staff would have allowed it without issue
as it did not contain any offensive material. However, he chose
instead to post using another citizen's email address to avoid being
prescreened by the moderators. Whatever his reasoning is for such an
act is unclear.

And though still a serious offense, we reevaluated the term by taking
into account that the content of his email was not offensive, he did
sign it with his own name, and did not continue posting from that
account afterwards. Therefore even though his motivation is unknown,
it was probably not likely intended to be malicious. Thus, we came to
the mutual agreement that reducing the moderation period of C.
Equitius Cato to 30 days would still be fair and effective.

Vale.

But you have NOT created policies by which we are given guidelines, and the Constitution - and the rights guaranteed our citizens under it - has legal precedence over *anything* you might say and any lex you throw up.

I did NOT post anything under anyone else's name or address. This is a fact.

Every post I made WAS in context historically. This is a fact.

You continue to violate the law - and lie - much to your shame. This too, unfortunately, is a fact.

While I am sure that this support is most gratifying to the Praetrices, I am, again confused. It has been the policy of this list ever since I came to NR in 2006 (and before that, from my understanding) that posts in any language other than English must contain an English translation, as English is the working language of Nova Roma.

While it would be glorious if we all were equally conversant in Latin, we are not. some of our members have no knowledge, and some are just beginning their studies. As this is our main forum, I am uncertain as to why this policy of long standing is not being enforced with the same rigor that other ...unstated and unsubstantiated policies ...are.

Most respectfully,

And what, pray tell, does the CP have anything to do with it? Would you like me to present to them the endless comments you have made about my private cult in violation of the law of the Respublica? I cannot be declared nefas - dirty, sinful, unworthy - as you were, because I have never uttered a word against the gods of Rome.

When you go on trial for abuse of power after your term of office is ended it will be quite clear - if it is not already - exactly how your words and actions have caused grievous violence to our law and our honor as a people.

And just for your information, the use of the word "LORD" in capital letters is a common historical replacement for the unutterable Name of the God of the Hebrew scriptures.

Salue Scaeua,

Simply put, it is because he has a constitutional right to speak, and
that cannot legally be prevented.

(For the benefit of those whose Latin is what mine once was, the
question is "If Cato is moderated, why is he speaking?")

Scholastica explained it very well. English translation is required only for official communication. On other occasions, English translation may be expected as a courtesy for those who don't know the Latin or other foreign languages, but is not at all obligatory.

Subject: Re: Veto on the recent moderation praet. sanction vs. civis G. Equit
Salve M. Scaeva,

Mihi valde placet te in hoc Foro Latine scribere sed syntaxis tua non facilis est intellectu.

Si scripta tua intellexi, censes praetrices jure Catoni moderatas esse, quia is civis orationi suae non moderatur et, sicut Christiani solent, victimae personam gerit, non in deserto clamando sed in Foro nostro fidei propagandae causa. Quae ille fecit sub specie liberae orationis.

In Praefatione legis de Re Publica Nova Romana, quae Constitutiva lex etiam dicitur, scriptum est ad quam rem Novam Romam prodesse et Novae Romae terminos temporum redivivorum, id est ab Urbe condita (753 BC) usque ad decessum Eugenii et caedem Frigidi Rivi (394 CE), caedes quae finem cultus deorum et christianae fidei imperium in omnibus stipulabat.

Ei qui Novam Romam condiderunt, et adhuc patres patriae dicuntur, Cassius Julianus et Vedius Germanicus nomine, mea sententia, hanc novam civitatem non prospere ominantur, cum pro Novae Romae termino funestae caedis apud Frigidum annum dedissent, de qua optione Christianis licet cives sint Novi Romani et nefariam fidem suam propagent, quod si et Rei Publicae et cultui deorum favissent, annum in quo Octavianus Caesar Augustus creatus est, terminum optavissent, id est anno 27 ante Christum natum dicto.

De hac optione, ambos conditores non vere deorum cultui fautores fuisse conjeci potest, qui inter deorum cultores et Christianos rixas eiuscemodi futuras esse vellent. Quibus rebus dictis, puto fidei Christianae propagationem optimo jure et a conditoribus nostris patribusque Patriae inque praefatione legis de Re Publica institutam esse.


English:

I am very happy that you write in Latin on this forum, but your syntax is not easy to understand.

If I understood your posts, you think that the pretrices legally put Cato on moderation, because this citizen does not moderate his speech and, as Christians usually do, he is playing the role of victim not to claim in the desert but in order to spread his faith. What he did under the guise of free speech.

In the preamble of the Constitution are written the scopes of Nova Roma and the times reenacted, from the birth of Rome (753 BC) untill the year 394 CE, in which was defeated Eugenius at the battle of the Frigidus River, by which paganism was prohibited and the absolute power of the christian faith ordered.

The men who founded Nova Roma, patres patriae named, Cassius Julianus and Vedius Germanicus, in my opinion, did not presage of prosperity to ther new Rome in choosing as term for our reenacment the defeat of the Frigidus River, by which the Christians can be cives Novi Romani and can spread their wicked faith, if really the founders were favourable to the Respublica and the paganism, they should choose as term the year 27 BC, in which Octavian Caesar became August.

By ther choice, I can suppose the founders not being really cultores deorum et wanting this kind of quarrels between Christians and Cultores deorum. So I read in the preamble of the Constitution the propaganda of the Christian faith legal and wanted by our fouders and fathers of the Patry.


Vale.

Salve Fabius,

You forgot to mention that some of us Pagans found Cato's post very sweet
and touching. Others wrote one sentence about Memorial day. Cato quoted
something special which made us all think of loved ones-- just regular
people-- who will never have a shrine buit, but who quietly lived their
lives sacrificing their strength to help others.

I am a well known Pagan, and I believe that the Bible can be a source of
inspiration to us even when we don't believe in the religion. Even the 'Our
Father' is an inspirational prayer to me. I don't have to believe in Jesus,
to 'feel' something when reciting it. And that is just one simple example.

Vale,
Diana

PS-- For those who keep showing off and posting in Latin, please provide a
translation as this is the Law of Nova Roma.

Well this is a hoot!

Last year, many people checked Complutianus IP address and it zeroed right
in to him. But that was ignored as not having been proof that he was a sock
puppet, so he wasn't even scolded or put on moderation. In fact he was
defended, when he should have been removed from office. Especially since he
was sneaky and lied about the whole thing.

Now Leoninus's email address zeros right to Australia, but that is *not*
proof that it wasn't Cato, even though we contacted Leoninus and Cato and he
are obviously two different people.
But still, we can publicly lynch Cato as being a sock pupper and to put him
on moderation.

Hypocrisy at best!

That must be a typo. You meant celer? A speedy violation? Latin is an official language of Nova Roma. It is even required to be used for official posts. So how can its use be any violation, swift or otherwise?

Subject: a. d. VIII Eidus Iunoniae: Livy on Alexander the Great
M. Moravius Piscinus cultoribus Deorum et omnibus salutem plurimam dicit: Di Deaeque vos ament.

Hodie est ante diem VIII Eidus Iunoniae; haec dies nefastus aterque est: Ludi Capitolini

AUC 397 / 356 ACE: Birth of Alexander the Great

"Alexander no doubt did all that a soldier ought to do in battle, and that is not his least title to fame. But if Manlius Torquatus had been opposed to him in the field, would he have been inferior to him in this respect, or Valerius Corvus, both of them distinguished as soldiers before they assumed command? Would the Decii, who, after devoting themselves, rushed upon the enemy, or Papirius Cursor with his vast physical courage and strength? Would the clever generalship of one young man have succeeded in baffling the whole senate, not to mention individuals, that senate of which he, who declared that it was composed of kings, alone formed a true idea? Was there any danger of his showing more skill than any of those whom I have mentioned in choosing the site for his camp, or organizing his commissariat, or guarding against surprises, or choosing the right moment for giving battle, or disposing his men in line of battle and posting his reserves to the best advantage? He would have said that it was not with Darius that he had to do, dragging after him a train of women and eunuchs, wrapped up in purple and gold, encumbered with all the trappings of state. He found him an easy prey rather than a formidable enemy and defeated him without loss, without being called to do anything more daring than to show a just contempt for the idle show of power. The aspect of Italy would have struck him as very different from the India which he traversed in drunken revelry with an intoxicated army; he would have seen in the passes of Apulia and the mountains of Lucania the traces of the recent disaster which befell his house when his uncle Alexander, King of Epirus, perished." ~ Titus Livius 9.17

Livy continued with arguments on how the vanities of Alexander made him a weaker commander than the Roman generals he would have met. He then compared the two armies.

"It remains for us to compare the one army with the other as regards either the numbers or the quality of the troops or the strength of the allied forces. Now the census for that period gives 250,000 persons. In all the revolts of the Latin league ten legions were raised, consisting almost entirely of city troops. Often during those years four or five armies were engaged simultaneously in Etruria, in Umbria (where they had to meet the Gauls as well), in Samnium, and in Lucania. Then as regards the attitude of the various Italian tribes-the whole of Latium with the Sabines, Volscians, and Aequi, the whole of Campania, parts of Umbria and Etruria, the Picentines, the Marsi, and Paeligni, the Vestinians and Apulians, to which we should add the entire coast of the western sea, with its Greek population, stretching from Thurii to Neapolis and Cumae, and from there as far as Antium and Ostia-all these nationalities he would have found to be either strong allies of Rome or reduced to impotence by Roman arms. He would have crossed the sea with his Macedonian veterans, amounting to not more than 30,000 men and 4000 cavalry, mostly Thracian. This formed all his real strength. If he had brought over in addition Persians and Indians and other Orientals, he would have found them a hindrance rather than a help. We must remember also that the Romans had a reserve to draw upon at home, but Alexander, warring on a foreign soil, would have found his army diminished by the wastage of war, as happened afterwards to Hannibal. His men were armed with round shields and long spears, the Romans had the large shield called the scutum, a better protection for the body, and the javelin, a much more effective weapon than the spear whether for hurling or thrusting. In both armies the soldiers fought in line rank by rank, but the Macedonian phalanx lacked mobility and formed a single unit; the Roman army was more elastic, made up of numerous divisions, which could easily act separately or in combination as required. Then with regard to fatigue duty, what soldier is better able to stand hard work than the Roman?

"If Alexander had been worsted in one battle the war would have been over; what army could have broken the strength of Rome, when Caudium and Cannae failed to do so? Even if things had gone well with him at first, he would often have been tempted to wish that Persians and Indians and effeminate Asiatics were his foes, and would have confessed that his former wars had been waged against women, as Alexander of Epirus is reported to have said when after receiving his mortal wound he was comparing his own fortune with that of this very youth in his Asiatic campaigns. When I remember that in the first Punic war we fought at sea for twenty-four years, I think that Alexander would hardly have lived long enough to see one war through. It is quite possible, too, that as Rome and Carthage were at that time leagued together by an old-standing treaty, the same apprehensions might have led those two powerful states to take up arms against the common foe, and Alexander would have been crushed by their combined forces. Rome has had experience of a Macedonian war, not indeed when Alexander was commanding nor when the resources of Macedon were still unimpaired, but the contests against Antiochus, Philip, and Perses were fought not only without loss but even without risk. I trust that I shall not give offence when I say that, leaving out of sight the civil wars, we have never found an enemy's cavalry or infantry too much for us, when we have fought in the open field, on ground equally favorable for both sides, still less when the ground has given us an advantage. The infantry soldier, with his heavy armor and weapons, may reasonably fear the arrows of Parthian cavalry, or passes invested by the enemy, or country where supplies cannot be brought up, but he has repulsed a thousand armies more formidable than those of Alexander and his Macedonians, and will repulse them in the future if only the domestic peace and concord which we now enjoy remains undisturbed for all the years to come." ~ Titus Livius 9.19


AUC 736 / 17 ACE: Ludi Saeculares continue as ludi Latini et Graecii honoraria

AUC 839 / 86 CE: Ludi Capitolini

These Ludi Capitolini were begun by Domitian. They were modeled after the Olympic games, intended to be held once every four years. Competitors were invited from all parts of the Empire, with the emperor paying for their travel and prizes. These ludi consisted of athletic competitions, as well as competitions in oratory, plays, poetry and music, together with chariot races. A curious features of these ludi Capitolini, rather than the former Ludi Capitolini of October, are mentioned by Plutarch.

"Why do they even now, at the Ludi Capitolini, proclaim `Sardinians for sale!' and why is an old man led forth in derision wearing around his neck a child's amult that they call a bulla? Is it because the Etruscans called Veians fought against Romulus for a long time, and he took this city last of all and sold at auction many captives together with their king, taunting him for his stupidity and folly? But since the Etruscans were originally Lydians, and Sardis was the capital city of the Lydians, they offered the Veians for sale under this name; and even to this day they preserve the custom in sport." ~ Plutarch, Roman Questions 53


Flamenica Dialis and Vestalia

Beginning today, in preparation for Vestalia, and lasting through 15 June, the flamenica Dialis does not comb her hair, but instead has it hang down as though in mourning, nor does she trim her nails, nor have sexual relations with her husband. No marriages are to be performed before the closing of the Temple of Vesta on 15 June.


Vesta and the Sacrifice of Metella

"When the Carthaginians and Siceliots were negotiating an alliance against the Romans, Vesta was the only divinity to whom Metellus, the general, did not sacrifice. She, accordingly, sent a contrary wind against his ships. Gaius Julius, the augur, said that it would abate if Metellus should sacrifice his daughter. Forced by necessity, he brought forward his daughter Metella. But Vesta took pity, substituted a heifer, and transported the maiden to Lanuvium, where She appointed her a priestess of the serpent that is worshipped by the people there. So said Pythocles in the third book of his Italian History." ~ Pseudo-Plutarch, Parallela Minora 14


Caecilia Metella and the Temple of Juno Sospita

"During the time of the Marsian War, Caecilia Metella, daughter of Quintus, dreamt that since the women of Rome had taken to using the Temple of Juno Sospita as a public lavatory, and because a bitch had whelped her pups at the foot of Her statue, the Goddess had abandoned the temple, and also planned to leave Rome, prophesizing a series of disasters, all of which came true. Caecilia asked Juno Sospita to stay. She cleansed the temple and restored it, inviting the Goddess to remain, and thereby saved Rome." ~ M. Tullius Cicero, De Divinatione 1.99


Today's thought is from Stobaeus 14-15:

"It is better to live lying on the grass, confiding in Divinity and yourself, than to lie on a golden bed with perturbation. Then will you not be in want of anything, which it is in the power of fortune to give and take away."

Ex Officio Tribunae Plebis Maximae Valeriae Messallinae Quiritibus S.P.D.





I, Maxima Valeria Messallina, Tribuna Plebis, hereby do pronounce intercessio against the action of Praetrices M. Hortensia Maior and E. Iunia Laeca given on June 5, 2763 auc., against C. Equitius Cato, for the following reason:

The Praetrices have stated that: "For violating the moderation measure using deceptive means, C. Equitius Cato is placed under moderation for a period of 30 days."


There is no law or edict that prohibits an individual who is on moderation getting someone else to post for them to any list, however distasteful such an action may be; nor is there a law or edict that prohibits an individual from posting for someone else who is on moderation, however unwise such an action may be. If there is such a law or edict, the Praetrices need to please provide me with such a law or edict that was in effect prior to their action and I will withdraw my intercessio.

Until they do, I find that the Praetrices, by the aforementioned action, are therefore infringing on C. Equitius Cato's right to free speech and are therefore acting contrary to our laws.





Valete bene in pace Deorum,

Maxima Valeria Messallina

Group: Nova-Roma Message: 76090 From: Maxima Valeria Messallina Date: 2010-06-06
Subject: Clearing up some confusion
Maxima Valeria Messallina omnibus S.P.D.
 
 
As I read yesterday's posts, I saw there was some confusion about certain events. 
 
When C. Sentius Leoninus posted to the ML for Cato, it was immediately presumed, because some, myself included, did not recognize Leoninus' name, that Cato had invented a new Yahoo ID so he could post in defiance of the 24-hour moderation imposed on him. That was later proven to be wrong when Iulia Agrippa took the initiative to find out if such a person named C. Sentius Leoninus did exist and she posted that he was indeed a real person. This was verified by Tullia Scholastica and eventually by Leoninus, himself.
 
However, at this time, as I later learned from Maior, Laeca had come down with a bad cold. Now, for a person with a normal and healthy immune system, a cold is just unpleasant. That is not the case for anyone who has any sort of autoimmune disease (and there are many besides just AIDS), where a simple cold can quickly turn into something far worse.
 
So when I spoke with Maior to explain to her why I felt I had to post an intercessio and she told me that Laeca was sick with a bad cold which was made worse because she was also suffering from an autoimmune disease, I felt a great deal of empathy for Laeca. Maior told me that Laeca had been writting up her reasons for the moderation of 90 days, but because she had been given some medicine that made her go to sleep, Laeca had not been able to post her reasons yet.
 
Well, I, for one, wanted to hear her reasons and I did not think it was too much trouble to extend Laeca the courtesy to wait until she could post her reasons before I posted my intercessio. By this time, my colleague, Dexter was online. I conferred with him and he had no problem waiting for Laeca to post her reasons provided it was done in a timely manner. Rest assured both Dexter and I kept an eye on the clock to make sure the 72-hour time limit did not expire.
 
About five hours later, while we were still waiting, Consul Albucius, who was completely unaware of any of this, dutifully posted his veto.
 
And that should have been that.
 
Now, I understand why the Praetrices feel as they do towards Cato and no one should be surprised in the least if you have ever read some of Cato's posts. In all honesty, some of them have been quite offensive to those of us who are not Christian and praetors in the past have received complaints. Even I, myself, once complained.
 
However, the post that brought about the 24-hour moderation was not one of those offensive posts. Still, I hope that Senator Cato, like the little boy that constantly kept poking the dog until he was bitten, will finally learn to "stop poking the dog" (*hint, hint*) or he may one day find himself in a position where even the Tribunes can't save him.

I am happy to announce the recognition by the Comitia Curiata of the adlection by the Collegium Pontificum of Gaia Maria Caeca as Sacerdos Vestalis in Nova Roma. She, along with Gaia Aurelia Ibera, Sacerdos Vestalis, are now training under Virgo Maxima Vestalis M. Valeria Messallina to become Vestales Virgines.

In addition, both are now camillae, along with Vibia Rutilia Enodiaria. They are joined in the Camillus Program by camilli Titus Cassius Longinus, Appius Galerius Aurelianus, Titus Iulius Calvus, Gaius Tullius Valerianus Germanicus, Gaius Coceius Spinula, and Gaius Iulius Triarius.

Di Deaeque his bene ament.

Cato Valeriae Messalinae Petronio Dextero omnibusque in foro SPD

First, it is a welcome sign that the tribunate is acting as it should, in defense of the citizens of the Respublica and their rights, and I thank both Messalina and Dexter for following the law even beyond personal disagreement.

Second, I guess that you, Valeria Messalina, had to throw a bone to the more rabid of my antagonists in declaring that public acknowledgment of some of the festivals and observances of my private cult - and those of the Jews (wishing our Jewish citizens a happy Passover) - are "offensive".

Nova Roma celebrates the festivals and observances of a pantheon of deities and heroes, both Roman and Greek, which is only right and correct and for which I have repeatedly spoken loudly and passionately in favor.

Yet the Constitution - or lex Constitutiva - supports, and had from the beginning, the view that public ritual observance is all that is required of elected magistrates and senators. Nova Roma is not a evangelical organization, trying to create - as the unfortunate emperor Iulian did - a type of polytheism that requires a rigid individual orthodoxy in its observance. It failed under Iulian, and will certainly fail in our Respublica.

Not only it is un-Roman in the extreme, but our law protects us from the kind of muzzling with which the praetors have tried - repeatedly - and failed - repeatedly - to strap down the Respublica's citizens.

So, praetor Maior, have at me in the College of Pontiffs. I have said for a long time that you would attempt to charge me with some kind of blasphemy; ironic coming from the one person in the history of the Respublica who has been declared nefas - dirty, sinful, unworthy - by that same institution.

Valete,

Cato
Group: Nova-Roma Message: 76110 From: Publius Memmius Albucius Date: 2010-06-06
Subject: Last moderation(s) - a legal consular point
Salvete omnes !

I took knowledge at noon of the recent praetorium edictum moderating citizen G. Equitius Cato.
As I see that a few of us need a point, let us make it here.

The edictum published the praetrix maior Iunia (ML msg 76043 Sun Jun 6, 2010 4:15 am) is a *new* measure, which comes after that my veto prevented the first edict, issued on Thu June 3rd, 2010 (a.d. III nonas Iun. 2763 auc, ML msg nb 75973 08:21 Rome time), being legally applied.

After this veto, civis Equitius Cato recovered his full rights in the fora.

Issuing a new edictum on the same *general matter*, even after a consular or tribunician veto, is not forbidden and cannot be considered as circumventing their constitutional prerogatives, from the moment that the new act is based on other/new legal or factual reasons. Here is the case, and the new praetorian edictum cannot, at least on this formal point, be contested.

The last chapter is the intercession thrown by Tribunes Valeria and Petronius against the new edictum praetorium.

For our fresh citizens, I remind that every magisterial act can be prevented entering in force:
- either if the issuing magistrate withdraws her/him-self the act;
or if - the act is vetoed either by her/his colleague, or by a higher magistrate (here by a consul) or by the tribunes of the Plebs.

A third way exists, the appeal to the People, which however does not freeze the application of the act.

The recent tribunician veto, that I thought necessary to forward in our Forum Romanum for everyone's information, currently blocks the new praetorian edict. From its publication on, the other 3 tribunes may, in the following 72 hours, come and say if they agree with their 2 colleagues or not. In case of silence or if just a 3rd tribune joins them, the veto stands and no other power may override it (on the same factual and legal case, naturally).

So, to summarize:

- the most recent praetorian edict is suspended ;
- citizen Cato should be electronically allowed to speak like any other citizen or member of the Forum, with no a priori control ;
- if tribunes Corvus, Saturninus and Costa agree the positions held by Valeria and Petronius, the veto stands and the new praetorian edict cannot enter in force, as the first one ; if they *explicitly* disagree, the veto of both tribunes is voided and the praetorian edict enters in force. Note that in this last case, no consular veto will be no longer possible, for the 72 hours delay will be over.

If you are still alive after these lines ;-), it is useful to keep in mind that, *legally*, every previous step of the current situation, which began when the concerned citizen published a text during the U.S. Memorial Day, has no more legal importance. What counts is just the act reproached by the praetorian edict to civis G. Equitius Cato.

I will not comment the case further, for it is under the tribunician hands'. For our fresh citizens or members, a magistrate who may veto would in such case just look at 2 elements:
1/ are the facts materially assessed, in every evoked element?
2/ if yes, is the chosen sanction proportioned to the infringment?

Note here that Rome had and still have no written code which could give a tribune or a consul one specific answer: a vetoing-able magistrate may think that for ex. 1 month is fair, and another that it is not. But globally, as our magistrates are normally (being themselves just the mirror of our whole Republic) honest and reasonable, there should not be much difference between the view of the ones and the view of the others.

I will end this point clearing out the point concerning the administrative measures that are under the 72 hours delay (which is the time the tribunes need to build a collective possible position on a veto). A moderation measure, for ex., of 24 hours, will de facto make every possible tribunician veto not worthy, for when the tribunes will have made their opinion, the sanction will be over.
Is such a tool unconstitutional in itself?
No, and just for two legal reasons: the first one is that during a shorter period, the door is still open for a consular veto, at 'worst'. Second, because this situation is the consequence of our legal system as we have built it. If we collectively consider that it should be changed, let us do it and vote for a better system, if exists any, which is still to be demonstrated.
Then, I personally think that this possibility, that I used myself as a praetor, is a good and flexible tool: not because it let praetors and other magistrates an unfair power, but because, on the contrary, it allows and morally obliges them to treat at best specific situations and to sanction light infringements with light measures. Without this possibility, our magistrates would have no choice but between no action and �big-hammering�.


Valete omnes,



Albucius cos.

C. Maria Caeca omnibus in Foro S. P. D.

First, I think the Tribunes for their swift and decisive action. It is
extremely to see an active, vibrant and concerned tribunate.

One of the things that drew me to Nova Roma was that it was reconstructing,
and using, a system based closely on ancient Roman law. I found (and find)
it fascinating to watch this system in action, and to learn about it by
doing so, and by participating in its working. I do not want another legal
system ...we are Nova Romans, and while sometimes the ways in which our laws
do things seem tortuous and confusing, ultimately they work ...and as we
learn to effective use that system, and refine its reconstruction, it will
work more effectively. It would be so easy to slip back into the "comfort
zone" of modern jurisprudence ...and so very unfortunate, because it take us
ne step (one irreparable step) from our goal of rebuilding Rome in the
modern world. (and no, I don't mean the city of Rome, which already exists
and is thriving. I use Rome here as merely a "verbal" short cut.)

What we are observing now is our legal system, functioning, and all of us,
including, I suspect, those who are performing the necessary actins
involved, are also learning, sometimes very quickly and in the wee hours of
the morning, how what needs to be done needs to be done. this, *this* is
Nova Roma!

Respectfully,
C. Maria Caeca

One question, if I may. the 2nd moderation edict concerning Cato was vetoed by the Tribunes, but hey are still awaiting the time period during which the remaining tribunes can respond. Therefore, can yet *another* moderation edict be issued before that time period has elapsed? If so ...the I publicly petition the Tribunes of the Plebs to intercede concerning *this* action as well, for the same reasons as I protested the first 2 Praetorian edicta. If not, then I urge the Praetrici to withdraw this *3rd* moderation edict until the proper time for it's enactment ...at which time I, and many others, will, no doubt petition the Tribunes.

I do hope it isn't AIDS. There are many other immune related disorders. I'm immuno-suppressed post cardiac transplant, as are other organ transplant recipients. Lyme disease, lupus, scleroderma....all cause the immune system to react.

One very recent discovery is that immune suppression causes H20 to change into H2O2 (peroxide) in the system at a much higher rate. Increasing anti-oxidents in the system seems to have a beneficial effect, especially on neuropathy.

AIDS, however, is its very own particular issue, and I do wish her well if that's what is affecting the praetrix.
