A playful mix of metaphors and imagery that definitely bring alive the

your work.. *snaps kudos*

Brings me to question, I know the Ludi was made in haste this year, will
there be a poetry contest?

Commemoration of the destruction of the temple? I suppose that you speak about the temple of Jerusalem not about the temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus.


So the 19th of July, as Roman, do we have to pray to the Manes of Titus, good soldier, and son of the emperor Vespasian who destructed that temple and the town on the year 70? This event is engraved on the marble of the Arch of Titus in Rome.

You can pray to Anyone you like, Dexter.

But if you want to do what you suggest on the correct day, yes, you have to wait until the 19th of July, not today as Piscinus mistakenly presented.

And by the way, Titus - by every account we have - did NOT want the Temple (note the capital "T") destroyed at all, and was furious when it was.

Someone has forwarded back alley correspondence to Piscinus who has then
posted it on the CP. I think it is you. I bounced you from the BA until
you prove your innocence. Just like Maior had the chance to prove her
innocence. Until your innocence is proven beyond a reasonable doubt you
have been banned from the BA.

I notified Fabius via phone about my actions.

The entire BA is aware of my actions.

And you stated to me on the phone when we spoke that you felt Metellus
should apologize even though he did not mean a single word of it. I told
you that was wrong, it was lying, and you said you didn't in the face of
political expeidency. Simply put you would lie and publicly deceive if it
meant you would get further ahead. Regardless of the cost to a person's
integrety and character. Thusly I would not be able to take your word if
you said IT WASNT ME. So, if you want to be admitted back to the BA
Piscinus will need to release the emails he received with headers showing it
wasnt you who gave him access to BA correspondence and then I would
apologize absolutely and I would then let Fabius or the other moderators
deal with any suspected Maior type leaks in the BA.

Vale,

You show up suddenly in the Back Alley claiming your desire for peace and understanding and respect and honesty.

You encourage people to talk to you both in the Back Alley and on the phone.

We all begin a long conversation about peace and understanding and respect and honesty.

You tell Sulla on the phone that you think it's OK to lie for political expediency.

Piscinus suddenly lets it slip here that he knows I call him "Fishpond" on the Back Alley.

People's words from the Back Alley suddenly start appearing - word for word - in Piscinus' messages on the College of Pontiffs' List.

You do the math.

As I said on the Back Alley, there are two types of people: those who are essentially honest and those who are not.

Those who are essentially *honest* understand that everyone is different, that everyone says things that you can either agree or disagree with, and their core honesty is fundamentally sound enough that they are willing to listen to anyone, hoping that the other person is also essentially honest. They are willing to talk to pretty much anybody about anything - even those with whom they have had vigorous disagreements - because they trust that the other person is ... well, trustworthy.

Those who are essentially *dishonest* will talk and talk until they find some element around which they can build a facade of honesty, acting as if they understand, empathize, etc. This often involves "putting it all out", giving some hint of their own vulnerabilities in order to appear open and honest. They use these tools to try to move opinions and thoughts in a direction that will benefit them, either by persuasion or by tricking others into saying things that between friends is considered frank discourse but can be tailored in any number of ways, all of which are used to make their victim(s) look bad.

You are essentially dishonest.

Maybe you're going to get some kind of reward - some big showy special hat or office or badge - for your betrayal of the trust placed in you. I hope it is worth it. "Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth...for where your treasure is there is your heart also."

You can certainly get a lot of book knowledge at Divinity School, but it can't teach you character or moral fiber.

MY thought for the day comes from Matthew regarding hypocrites:

"...therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them. They tie up heavy burdens and lay them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so much as a finger. But they do all their deeds to be noticed by men... They love the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogues and respectful greetings in the market places... They like to stand on the street corners and pray loudly so that all men can hear them..."

Vale,

Cato

Subject: a. d. III Eidus Quinc.: Ludi Apollinares; dies natalis Gn. Equiti Ma
M. Moravius Piscinus cultoribus Deorum et omnibus salutem plurimam dicit: Iubet bono animo esse

Hodie est ante diem III Eidus Quinctiliae; haec dies comitialis est: Ludi Apollini in circo; dies natalis censorii Cn. Equiti Marini.

Felices natalis, Gnae Equiti Marine! Bonam habe Fortunam.

The eight day of the Ludi Apollinares continues with theatrical performances.

AUC 321-322 / 432-431 BCE: The dedication of the Temple of Apollo Medicus in the Campus Martius outside the pomoerium.

"Come, Dii Penates, come Apollo and Neptune and all You Gods, and by Your powers may You mercifully turn aside this ill disease that violently twists, scorches and burns our city with fever." ~ Arnobius Adversus Nationes III 43

"The pestilence that year gave respite from other concerns. A temple was vowed to Apollo for the health of the people. The duumvirs did many things prescribed by the sacred Sibylline books to appease the wrath of the Gods and remove the pestilence from the people. The mortality, notwithstanding, was heavy both in the City and in the country districts; men and beasts alike perished. Owing to the losses amongst the cultivators of the soil, a famine was feared as the result of the pestilence, and agents were dispatched to Etruria and the Pomptine territory and Cumae, and at last even to Sicily, to procure corn." ~ Titus Livius 4.25

Apollo had been known at Rome from a very early period. Already by the Late Regal period, a district in the Campus Martius was known as a templum of Apollo. This fanum was dedicated to Apollo Medicus, who represented Sanctus Soranus of Sorancte, identified with the Etruscan Apulu rather than with Greek Apollo. It was not until the time of Augustus that the solar Apollo of the Greeks as a patron of arts had begun. In the Republican period, Apollo was known solely as a God of medicine:

"Phoebus Apollo, bearer of health, for You we compose our song, and favorably promote Your discoveries. With Your healing arts, You lead life back when it is withdrawn from us and recall us from joining the Manes in Heaven. You who formerly dwelt in the temples of Aegea, Pergamum, and Epidaurum, and who drove off the Python from Your peaceful house at Delphi, sought a temple at Rome to Your glory, by expelling the foul presence of illness. Come to me now as each time You have fondly strengthen me when often You were called, and may You be present in all that is set out in this book." ~ Sammonicus Praefatio Liber Medicinalis

The priests of Soranus held a unique position for they were given Roman citizenship even when their city had not yet gained such a privilege. With their charge came a special rite that they alone could perform. This involved a passage over hotcoals, by barefoot priests, to deliver offerings at the altar of Apollo Soranus.

"Apollo Soranus, Highest of the Gods, Holy Guardian of Mount Soracte, we who are foremost among Your worshippers, for You we set to flame the piled pine-wood, and Your worshippers, piously trusting our faith in You among the fires, press our step across the glowing embers. Grant, Father Almighty, that by our arms we may erase this disgrace. No plunder did I seek, no trophy to win from virgins, or any spoils; my fame shall follow from my feats. But while this dire plague strikes me with illness, inglorious I must return to the cities of our fathers." ~ Virgil Aeneid 11.785-93

The priests of Soranus, or at least one, also held a special privilege in that they bore the secret name by which the patron deity of Rome was invoked. Rome had performed the rite of evocation of Juno Regina Veii, again at Carthage to bring Juno Caeliste (Tanit) to Rome, and apparently at other places as well. rome was therefore careful to safeguard the name of the Goddess who protected Rome. It was recorded that Valerius Soranus made the mistake of leting the name slip in a casual conversation, and paid for his err with his life (Pliny, N.H. III.65-67).

Dedicating any temple was an important act, and an honor of the person so selected, because he was chosen by lot and thus was seen as a person who had received his commision from the Gods.

"The other consul, C. Julius, dedicated the temple of Apollo in his colleague's absence, without waiting to draw lots with him as to who should do it. Quinctius was very angry at this, and after he had disbanded his army and returned to the City, he laid a protest before the senate, but nothing came of it." ~ Titus Livius 4.29


Once vowed, a site had to be selected and sanctified by an augur who "erected" the templum, or sacred precinct. The temple was built usually by a commision of two men, duumviri, of which one would perform the dedication rite, which could only be performed by having one of the pontifices act as a promptor to recite the dedication formula. Only the pontifices could then consecrate the site, which they did by perfoming a special ritual, circling the entire site along with the sacrificial victims. Then every implement for the temple had to dedicated and sanctified. And even the staff had to be dedicated in a ritual to their service to the temple.

"Give your favour, Phoebus, to a new priest who enters your temple. Be gracious, and with songs and lyre, come! When your fingers pluck the chords, and you give voice to song, I pray you may inspire my words into your praises. May your hair be ever flowing, Phoebus; may your sister be forever chaste." ~ Tibullus 2.5.1-4; 122-3


Apollo would be invoked and invited to enter the temple to use as his house whenever he came to visit the City. While His temple served to aid the City against general plagues, and the temples of Apollo Medicus and those of Aesculapis would be home to Greek doctors in one of several medical practices, those of the Hippocratics, His temple also encourgared private practice of families calling upon Him.

"Come, Phoebus, with Your golden hair loosely floating, soothe her torture, restore her fair complexion. Come quickly, we pray, we implore, use Your happy skills, such charms as You never spared before. Grant that her frail fame shall not waste away with consumption, or her eyes grow languid, and her bloom fade. Come now with Your favoring aid." ~ Tibullus 4.4.1 ff.

"Phoebus Tirynthia, I pray, please accept this offering on my behalf. This gift I offer in thanks to You for the good health and strength that I have had." ~ Anthologia Latina 2.1841


Our thought for today is taken from Marcus Aurelius 9.16:

"Not in feeling, but in activity lie the good and evil of the rational social animal, just as his virtue and his vice lie not in passivity, but in activity."

General's office to waste the time and money of our magistrates and sap Nova Roma. You plot with others openly on the Back Alley to overthrow our elected magistrates and to depose our sacerdotes. You call it "civil war" and a "coup" against the State as you discuss trying to gain control of Nova Roma bank accounts, our website, and seize our lists. You are an enemy of the Res Publica. An enemy to Nova Roma. Maybe we should just post your emails on the ML for all to see what conspiracies you have been trying to weave. And call for your trial on charges of falsum and laesa patriae.

Our conversation was private, second you twist my words. I never said to
lie; rather, that sometimes it is the better to swalllow pride and apologize
even if you would rather not. This is not lying, it is an act of humility.
As I have been stating there is tooo much pride in Nova Roma and people are
not willing to give a little.

I did not forward any posts, as I said I wouldn't. You should have consulted
with me before removing me from the list. It was wrong of you to remove me.
I was enjoying getting to know people, and find your actions disappointing
and unfortunate.

Your actions are exactly what I have been advocating against.

You show up suddenly in the Back Alley claiming your desire for peace and

You encourage people to talk to you both in the Back Alley and on the phone.


We all begin a long conversation about peace and understanding and respect
and honesty.

You tell Sulla on the phone that you think it's OK to lie for political
expediency.

Piscinus suddenly lets it slip here that he knows I call him "Fishpond" on
the Back Alley.

People's words from the Back Alley suddenly start appearing - word for word
- in Piscinus' messages on the College of Pontiffs' List.

You do the math.

victim(s) look bad.

You are essentially dishonest.

Maybe you're going to get some kind of reward - some big showy special hat

Subject: Re: Hypocrite Sulla - Oh Piscinus wishes
Oh, Sulla, you want to try that again? Senators on the BA only post their own emails? Look at Cato's post to the BA dated 21 Oct 2009. He included an excerpt from my post to the Senate. And there are many examples of that sort of thing both before and after that date.

You and Cato have accused Modianus of forwarding BA emails to me. That is not true. You have no idea how many people do send me emails, always have sent emails and complaints about you to me. The fact is that you offend people so often that one or another ends up sending me what is posted on the BA. You would have to boot off a large portion of subscribers, and I would still just be informed by the next person you offend.

No, I have no need to waste my time on the BA and all your BS. There is work to do, serious work for the res publica, and all you are interested in are petty little games to disrupt and interfer with the aspirations of every Citizen to see Nova Roma develop towards its goals. You have turned your back on everyone who ever tried to help you, from Marius who defended you in the early days when a nota was placed on you for hacking into the Senate, to Fabius Maximus upon your more recent return. You are no friend to Nova Roma or to any of its Citizens.

Yet the Senate has - at least twice - voted NOT to make the supposed "seal" on the Senate a reality, in spite of your efforts.

"No need to waste [your] time"? Yet you use those posts that "everyone" sends you to harm people.

If Modianus didn't do it, you can prove it. So prove it. Or is having a pet rat of your own in the BA more important than your "friendship" with Modianus?

And Piscinus? Stop writing to me privately. I will not be responding.

Cato Agricolae sal.

Perhaps living in Japan for so long has made your English not what it might have been. Look up the word "propaganda", and the Urban Dictionary's definition of "trolling". You use neither word correctly - and you're beginning to sound like Maior.

What's next, Agricola - "us vs. them"? "Throw them out"?

Vale,

Cato

it to civil war seems to give credence to that train of thought. Because
you met someone who will NOT be intimidated by your shenanigans. So, all I
can say is continue what you are doing. Roll the dice and see if you get
craps or see if you crap out.

Vale,

Sulla

Albucius cos. omnibus s.d.



I have the honor to come to you for closing these Ludi Apollinares 2763 auc.



I want to thank here, first, former praetrices Iunia and Hortensia for having prepared the frame of these Games, and, then, the whole Praetorian team, with the support of the aedilitas curulis, which worked hard and quick, in an impossible time range, to organize these Ludi and have them hold their whole place.



Thanks also to the reactivity of our Chariots owners, our Factions, and our new competitors, who allowed the success of the Circenses Apollinares.



Before closing these Games, I want to remind that the subscriptions for two contests are still open : the multi-media one and the literary one. Be a part of it, Quirites !



I now declare hereby closed the Ludi Apollinares 2763 auc.



Vobis gratias et valete Quirites,





Albucius cos.

Group: Nova-Roma Message: 77937 From: Cn. Cornelius Lentulus Date: 2010-07-13
Subject: CLOSING SACRIFICE - To Apollo the Healing
Cn. Cornelius Lentulus pontifex Quiritibus s. p. d.


Happy ludi Apollinares to my fellow Citizens!

Apollo,
God of Medication and Healing, God of the Sun, is celebrated during the
ludi Apollonares.

Apollo Medicus! God of the Healing! We need You in our Nova Roman life! Heal our wounds, as a community, heal our diseases, heal our illness! We
want Nova Roma saved from the dissension because we love Nova Roma. Nova Roma lives in our hearts, and
there is no other name, no other Roman republic to which we want to
belong. Take care of Nova Roma, Citizens, let the politics to the
politicians, to the magistrates, and redeem your place where you have
to stand in the gap. Everyone has a job in Nova Roma. Find yours, and
do your best in your place. That's healing Nova Roma. That's doing better.

I
performed the following ceremony and I sacrificed incense and wine to Apollo for healing the sick cives, and healing the wounds of Nova Roma that the parties caused with their partisanship and mutual hatred.

In the name of Nova Roma, I prayed for the following citizens by name:

T. Iulius Sabinus Crassus, son of the Censor, T. Sabinus;
Eq. Iunia Laeca, our former praetrix and curatrix aerarii;
C. Valeria Pulchra, wife of C. Tullius Valerianus, the Latinist.

Please do a similar ceremony in your homes, Quirites, and pray for these sick citizens, and for Nova Roma!



This is the text of the ritual that we made to Apollo Medicus:


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

PRAEFATIO - PREFACE TO THE PRAYER


"Iane, Iuppiter, Iuno, Minerva, Aesculapi,
vos hoc ture
commovendo
bonas preces precor,
uti sitis volentes propitii
Populo Novo Romano Quiritibus,
Reique Publicae Populi Novi Romani Quiritium,
collegio pontificum et augurum,
Equestriae Iuniae Laecae,

T. Iulio T. f. Sabino Crasso,

C. Valeriae Pulchrae, uxori Tullii,
mihi, domo, familiae!"

Ianus, Iuppiter, Iuno, Minerva, Aesculapius,
by offering you this incense
I pray good prayers so
that you be benevolent and propitious
to the Quiritian People of Nova Roma,
to the Republic of the Nova Roman People of Quirites,
to the college of the pontiffs and the augurs,
to Equestria Iunia Laeca,


to T. Iulius Sabinus Crassus, son of Titus,


to C. Valeria Pulchra, wife of Tullius,
to me, to my household and to my family.



(Incense is placed in the focus of the altar.)


"Apollo Medice,
te hoc ture commovendo
bonas preces precor,
uti sis volens propitius
Populo Novo Romano Quiritibus,
Reique Publicae Populi Novi Romani Quiritium,

uti vos ture commovendo
bonas preces precatus sum,
eiusdem rei ergo
macte vino inferio estote!"

Ianus, Iuppiter, Iuno, Minerva, Aesculapius,
as by offering incense
I have prayed good prayers,
for the very same reason
be thou blessed by this wine.


(Libation of wine is made.)


"Apollo Medice,
uti te ture commovendo
bonas preces precatus sum,
eiusdem rei ergo
macte vino inferio esto!"

Apollo Medicus,
as by offering incense
I have prayed good prayers,
for the very same reason
be thou blessed by this wine.

(Libation of milk is made.)


PRECATIO - THE PRAYER


"Apollo Medice,
te precor, quaeso, veneror, obtestor:
uti salutem Rei Publicae Populi Novi
Romani Quiritium
confirmes, augeas, adiuves,
utique Rem Publicam Populi Novi Romani Quiritium
omnibus discordiis, morbis, dissenionibus, malis liberes;
utique morbos visos invisosque averrunces,
utique Equestriam Iuniam Laecam,


T. Iulium T. f. Sabinum Crassum,


C. Valeriam Pulchram, uxorem Tullii,
omnes aegros Novos Romanos
sanes, cures, medearis
ex omni aegritudene;
atque uti huic controversiae
quae nunc inter cives Novos Romanos est
finem imponas!”

Apollo,
we ask and beseech you, we beg and pray you so
that you may confirm, strengthen and increase
the well being of the Republic of the Nova Roman People of Quirites,
so that you heal the Republic of the Nova Roman People of Quirites
from all discord, illness, dissension and wrongdoing;
so that you may keep away all illnesses visible and invisible;
so that you may heal, cure and recuperate
Equestria Iunia Laeca,


T. Iulius Sabinus Crassus, son of Titus,
C. Valeria Pulchra, wife of Tullius,
and all sick Nova Romans
from all kinds of diseases;
and that
you may put an end to the controversy
that is on going between the Nova Roman citizens.


SACRIFICIUM - THE SACRIFICE


"Harum rerum ergo macte
hoc vino libando,
hoc ture ommovendo
esto fito volens propitius
Populo Novo Romano Quiritibus,
Reique Publicae Populi Novi Romani Quiritium,
collegio pontificum et augurum,
Equestriae Iuniae Laecae,

T. Iulio T. f. Sabino Crasso,

C. Valeriae Pulchrae, uxori Tullii,
mihi, domo, familiae!"

For these reasons, thou blessed
by offering this wine,
by offering this incense,
be benevolent and propitious
to the Quiritian People of Nova Roma,
to the Republic of the Nova Roman People of the Quirites,
to the college of the pontiffs and the augurs,
to Equestria Iunia Laeca,


to T. Iulius Sabinus Crassus, son of Titus,


to C. Valeria Pulchra, wife of Tullius,
to me, to my household and to my family.


(Libation of wine is made, and incense is sacrificed.)


PIACULUM - THE EXPIATION OF MISTAKES DURING THE RITUAL

"Iane, Iuppiter, Iuno, Minerva, Aesculapi,
Apollo Medice,
Lares, Manes, Penates,
Omnes Di Immortales quocumque nomine:
si quidquam vobis in hac caerimonia displicuit,
hoc vino libando
veniam peto
et vitium meum expio."

Ianus, Iuppiter, Iuno, Minerva, Aesculapius,
Apollo Medicus,
Lares, Manes, Penates,
All Gods Immortal, by whichever name:
if something in this ceremony was unpleasant to you,
by this wine
I do apologize
and expiate my mistake.

(Wine is sacrificed.)

Subject: Re: Roman Medicine
Salvete, amicae et amici!

In honor of Apollo I offer here one of the handouts that was used in a "Roman Herb" workshop at Aedes Venus Genetrix in Nashville some tme ago:

*******************

10 Basic Natural Essentials everyone should have on hand:

Chamomile
Clove buds (also Clove Oil)
Eucalyptus
Honey
Lavender
Lemon
Mint – Peppermint, Spearmint herbs or Wintergreen Oil
Rosemary
Garlic or Tea Tree Oil
Thyme

Chamomile(Matricaria recutita): Chamomile flowers are rich in compounds, including bisabolol (which calms inflammation and combats bacteria) and apigenin (an antioxidant that shields skin from free radicals and helps the skin repair damaged cells.) In the "Pharmcodynamic Basis of Herbal Medicine" by M.S. Ebadi he states: "Chamomile has been used medicinally since Ancient Rome for its purportive sedative, antispasmodic and antirheumatic effects." Its medicinal usage dates back to antiquity: Hippocrates, Galen, and Asclepius made reference to it.
Roman chamomile, Chamaemelum nobile, comes from the leaves and German chamomile, Matricaria chamomilla, comes from the flowers, is used to treat slow-healing wounds, psoriasis, eczema, diaper rash, chickenpox, and burns from cancer radiation therapy. Both annual herbs belong to the Asteraceae/Compositae family and are similar in physical appearance, chemical properties, and Chamomile oil, at a concentration of 25 mg/mL, demonstrates antibacterial activity against such gram-positive bacteria as Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, and Streptococcus salivarius, as well as some fungicidal activity against
Candida albicans.2-4 Whole plant chamomile extract at 10 mg/mL demonstrates a similar effect, completely inhibiting growth of group B Streptococcus in vitro.3 In addition, chamomile extract blocks aggregation of Helicobacter pylori and various strains of Escherichia coli. Several pharmacological actions have been documented for German chamomile, based primarily on in vitro and animal studies. Such actions include antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, anti-ulcer, antiviral, and sedative effects. (study references upon request) Although chamomile is generally safe to use, The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified the oil and extract of both German and Roman chamomile as substances Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS), if you have some predisposing conditions check with your physican first. If you are allergic to ragweed, do not use chamomile (either type) until you do a skin test to make sure it is ok (which it usually is, in dried form). If you take blood-thinning medication, you might avoid chamomile internally, but ask your physician first. In adults, oral administration for traditional uses are generally as follows: (1) dried flower heads: 2-8g as an infusion three times daily; (2) liquid extract/tincture: 1-6 mL up to three times daily of 1:1 potency; 7-15 mL up to three times daily of 1:5 potency.
Blemishes: This is simple a fix for a small cropping of blemishes – fix a cup of chamomile tea, do not discard the warm teabag but apply it as a poultice to the blemish, use the tea as a face rinse.
Rash: fix a cup of chamomile tea, use the tea bag as a poultice or to apply the tea over the rash area.
Skin irritation and sunburn: Chill a strong tea of chamomile in the refrigerator; apply with a spray bottle to the skin. Also soak in a cool/tepid bath with 1 quart of strong chamomile tea added to the bath water.
Cold Symptoms: Chamomile oil boiled with water, produces steam that when inhaled, alleviates some cold symptoms.
Gingivitis: Use chamomile tea as a mouth rinse after meals.
General Applications: used to treat heartburn and excessive gas caused by anxiety, gingivitis, hemorrhoids, and other forms of inflammation, treats slow-healing wounds, venous leg ulcers, sunburn, acne, psoriasis, eczema, diaper rash, chickenpox, and burns from cancer radiation therapy. Tinctures can be used in the bath to soak (hemorrhoids). In addition it has also been used to treat ulcers, colitis, diverticulosis and indigestion. Chamomile stimulates appetite, is used as a nerve tonic (calming), and aids sleep (insomnia).
Using dried whole chamomile flowers you can make an essential oil or healing oil.


Clove (Lavang Oil/Ayurvedic) Used in dental offices to prepare dental cements, fillings, and to treat dry sockets. Cloves contain eugenol which is the source of its anesthetic and antiseptic properties. Clove oil contains 60 to 90 percent eugenol.
Tea is made with buds and leave of just a few drops of clove oil.
Toothache remedy: dip a cotton swab in clove oil and apply to affected tooth and gum area. Do not use on children under two.
Respiratory: The antispasmodic action of cloves eases coughs and its antihistamine actions helps with relief from hay fever and other airborne allergies.
General Applications: Eases the discomfort of abdominal gas and bloating. Clove tea is widely regarded as being effective in relieving nausea and traveler's diarrhea., The antispasmodic action of cloves when applied topically, relieves muscle spasms, stimulates and strengthens uterine contractions during labor. Treat acne, skin ulcers, sores, and styes with clove infusion made with water. Oranges studded with cloves are used as insect repellents. Said to stimulate the mind.
Using dried whole clove buds you can make an essential oil or healing oil.

Eucalyptus: Analgesic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, decongestant, diuretic, expectorant, antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial. Useful in dogs with respiratory problems. Because of its value I am including Eucalyptus but no one is certain if this was used in Ancient Rome or even in the ancient "civilized" world but it was said to be introduced to the Arab world in the 8th Century. Native to Australia today it is found in the Mediterranean, Morocco and Spain as well. It is often agreed upon that it was introduced to the known world around the 1700's. Eucalyptus has been used traditionally to treat diabetes; studies suggest this use has scientific merit. It is found in Listerine and Vicks Vapo-rub. It is a lifesaver for an asthmatic in an emergency although in some it could trigger asthma symptoms. Loosens Phlegm, kills influenza A and respiratory bacteria.
Colds, flu, relief of congestion, asthma, and respiratory problems: Prepare a hot cup of tea, 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoonful per cup hot water, steep for 15 min. and have the Adult patient to sip slowly, they will not only be inhaling vapors but will also be taking the therapy internally. Infusion (tea) 3 times daily. Tincture (for congestion) 10 - 30 drops daily.
Children over the age of 6 can take cough drops with Eucalyptus but check with your pediatrician or nurse practitioner before ingestion of tea made with leaves and oil. Inhalation therapy: boil Eucalyptus leaves in water, remove from heat and inhale the vapors or add 5 - 10 drops of oil to 2 cups boiling water. You can also put some water in an incense oil burner with a few drops of oil (add a touch of camphor [adults only] and a few drops of Wintergreen also) place it in the room of the person being treated and let them inhale – this is cleaner and better than a humidifier because it must be changed more often and is easier to clean. Do not use eucalyptus as steam, salve, or chest rub to children under age 2 unless you clear if with your physician or nurse practitioner first. Although I do not recommend this for non-medical personnel but if an asthmatic is in distress they may not be able to inhale steam vapor, so burning Eucalyptus in a cigarette or other way and either having the patient inhale the smoke or blowing it in their face may help enough that they will be able to inhale vapor themselves.
Wounds: The liquid from an infusion is a great antiseptic for scrapes and minor cuts. Using oil add 15 - 30 drops 1/2 cup of sesame, almond, or olive oil then apply.
General Applications: Place a drop or two of eucalyptus oil on a cloth and hold it under the nose of an individual who has fainted to revive them. Rich in cineole, an antiseptic that kills bacteria that causes halitosis, diluted tinctures or tea treats bad breath.
Using dried whole eucalyptus leaves you can make an essential oil or healing oil.

Honey: Focusing mainly on Wound Care and its adaptation to today's medicine.
"Unwashed wool supplies very many remediesÂ…..it is appliedÂ….with honey to old
sores. Wounds it heals if dipped in wine or vinegarÂ….yolks of eggsÂ….are taken
for dysentery with the ash of their shells, poppy juice and wine. It is
recommended to bathe the eyes with a decoction of the liver and to apply the
marrow to those that are painful or swollen."
~Pliny
The many attributes of Honey were very well known in the Ancient World, for its preservative value, its healing value, flavor and health properties. Women used honey to soften the skin as facial masks, in lip balm to sweeten one's kiss and a touch may have been added to perfumes or even to skin balms for obvious reasons. A skin softener from beeswax was also used which was made from boiling the beeswax in salt water. Pliny also describes using the broth of white beeswax and salt water to feed to those with dysentery. Honey was also used for food preservation in Ancient Rome and already was being used in embalming in other ancient cultures, although Ancient Roman citizens rarely buried their dead.
Honey suppresses infection in wounds because of its high sugar content however due to its antibacterial components dressings do not have to be changed as often allowing the patients body to heal itself through its own defenses allowing autolytic debridement, re-epithelialization and the subsequent healing. Our ancient ancestors knew this through observation and success. Modern microbiological studies have shown more than one hundred-fold differences In the potency of the antibacterial activity of various types of honey with best results expected when using a honey with a high level of antibacterial activity. Something our ancient ancestors already knew. While discussing differences in honeys, Aristotle (384-322 BC) referred to pale honey as being "good as a salve for sore eyes and wounds." Dioscorides (c.50 AD) wrote that pale yellow honey from Attica was the best: "good for all rotten and hollow ulcers".
Today some still use honey with good results however in clinical settings, and at home, Hydrocolloids are often used to get similar effects without the mess; these are made of cellulose, guar, pectin and gelatin. The antibacterial activity of honey is due to hydrogen peroxide generated primarily by the action of an enzyme that the bees add to the nectar although there are some floral sources that provide additional antibacterial components. Honey is effective against Eschericihia coli and Staphylococcus aureus which are the most common causes of infected wounds. Our body tissues and serum contain catalase, which is a human enzyme that breaks down hydrogen. Catalase does not break down the antibacterial components that come from the nectar. The bee enzyme that produces hydrogen peroxide in honey needs oxygen to be available for the reaction, so care must be taken to aerate wounds under wound dressings or in wound cavities. The same bee enzyme that produces hydrogen peroxide in honey becomes active only when the acidity of honey is neutralized by body fluids. Manuka honey is recommended for modern use as it contains hydrogen peroxide activity as well as the component that comes from the nectar. It is also reportedly more stable in the presence of heat, light and can tolerate less oxygen in the event a closed bandage is needed. Unpasteurized honey, as was used in ancient Rome, should be used because the enzyme in honey that produces hydrogen peroxide is destroyed by heating and exposure to light so it should also be stored in a cool place and protected from light. Honey can be slightly warmed to liquefy it at no more than 37°C. It is interesting to note that in modern studies no case of infection resulting from the use of honey has been reported.
Wound Care using Honey:
1. The amount of honey depends on the amount of fluid exuding from the wound.
2. The various beneficial effects of honey on wound tissues will be reduced or lost if small amounts of honey become diluted by large amounts of fluid. The frequency of dressing changes required will depend on how rapidly the honey is being diluted by fluid.
3. Daily dressing changes are usual however up to three times daily may be needed. If the dressing sticks to the wound this indicates that more frequent changes of dressing are needed. Exudation of fluid should be reduced by the anti-inflammatory action of honey, so less frequent dressing changes may be needed later - a few days between changes – this will give the wound a chance to re-epithelialize and heal using the body's own system.
4. More honey is required on deeper infections, to obtain an effective level of antibacterial activity diffusing deep into the wound tissues. Typically, 20 ml of honey (25 - 30 g, 1 ounce) is used on a 10 cm X 10 cm (4 inch X 4 inch) dressing.
5. Occlusive (waterproof) or absorbent secondary dressings (Hydrocolloids) are needed to prevent honey oozing out from the wound dressing. Occlusive dressings are better in non-infected wounds as they keep more of the honey in contact with the wound – absorbent dressings soak the honey away from the wound
6. Dressing pads impregnated with honey are the most convenient way of applying honey to surface wounds: it is best to spread the honey on the dressing rather than on the wound.
7. Abscesses, cavities and depressions in the wound bed are filled with honey before applying the honey dressing pad, so that the honey is in direct contact with the wound bed.
8. The honey dressings are cut to a size that extends beyond the edges of the wound and any surrounding inflamed area.
There are many more uses for honey, some I use, others, I wouldn't:
Mercurialis (de Arte Gymnast. Amstel. 4to. 1672, pp2, 3):
"A blind soldier named Valerius Apes, having consulted the oracle, was informed that he should mix the blood of a white cock with honey, to make up an ointment to be applied to his eyes, for three consecutive days: he received his sight, and returned public thanks to the gods."
"Julian appeared lost beyond all hope from a spitting of blood. The god ordered him to take from the altar some seeds of the pine, and to mix them with honey, of which mixture he was to eat for three days. He was saved, and came to thank the gods in presence of the people."
I would not put chicken blood on any open wound or body opening in today's world. However if one has a sty I could see how a poultice of pure rose water and honey would help. In antiquity honey had a great reputation in producing clearer vision; this may also be one of the reasons for its reputation of endowing the power of divination – so it improves not only the physical but also the spiritual sight – a meta-magical construct. Pine seeds with honey are nutritious and contain thiamine, vitamin B1, pinoleic acid, magnesium, rich in iron (key component in hemoglobin that oxygen carrying pigment that supplies energy and contains more protein than any other seed/nut in addition to the highest concentration of Oleic acid(the stuff that lowers triglycerides) and have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant action. So Julian surely received some benefit and may have had an iron deficiency anemia-spitting up blood can be a symptom of anemia.
Most of us have heard of Honey and lemon, or Honey and Rum (or another alcoholof choice) including Mulsum – all beneficial and all having origins in ancient times. Oxymel, a mixture of honey, vinegar, salt, and water was not just used in preparing vegetables was also a cure for throat and ear problems. Hydromel (when fermented makes mead) and aqua mulsa, a honey-water, were also used as medicine. A tonic of cinnamon and honey were used to treat cold and sore throats, the antibacterial properties of cinnamon were well known in the Ancient World.
• Hippocrates considered honey a very good expectorant and said of its virtues: "It causes heat, cleans sores and ulcers, softens hard ulcers of the lips, heals carbuncles and running sores." He recommended honey for difficulty in breathing due to its expectorant qualities: "it causes spitting." This has credence in modern treatment.
• Dioscorides in Materia Medica often mentions honey as an excellent medicine. He also praises the medicinal value of wax, propolis and honey-wine. This also has credence in modern treatment.
• Cornelius Celsus in De Medicina stated that a physician must heal in a safe, quick and pleasing manner "tuto, cito et jucunde", which could be best accomplished with honey.
• Galen recommended the mixing of four parts of honey with one part of gall of the sea-tortoise which, when dropped into the eyes, would improve the sight. He also recommended a paste of honey and dead bees for hair growth: "Take Bees dead in combs, and when they are through dry make them into powder, mingle them with the honey in which they died and anoint the parts of the Head that are bald and thin-haired, and you shall see them grow again."
• Marcellus: "The honey pure and neat wherein the Bees are dead, let that drop into the eyes; or honey mixed with the ashes of the heads of Bees, makes the eyes very clear." Today in India they still make a kohl that even children wear to protect and nourish their eyes, it is made of ash, beeswax, a touch of camphor and in some cases a touch of honey (although this is usually ceremonial). It is supposed to make the eyes healthy, it does clear the whites and make the eyes shine. It is also very soothing.
• Pliny also credited honey in which bees have died with the faculty of relieving dullness of sight and hearing. Pliny burned the bees, mixed their ashes with honey and used the substance for all kinds of ailments: "Powdered bees with milk, wine or honey will surely cure dropsy, dissolve gravel and stones, will open all passages of urine and cure the stopping of the bladder. Bees pounded with honey cure griping of the belly." Honey can be soothing to some abdominal pain in small amounts; it can also be a laxative in larger amounts. Clear fluids are better for stones and bladder problems though.
• Celsus prescribed raw honey as a laxative and boiled honey as a cure for diarrhea: "the acrimony is taken away by boyling which wont to move the belly and to diminish the virtue of the food" (Libr. 3 C. 3). Again, it is dependant on amounts and how the individual reacts to the honey.
• Claudius Aelianus (Aelian) believed that honey from Pontus cured epilepsy. I would have to see what else is in that honey, and if perhaps the "seizures" may have been due to a blood glucose imbalance.
• Porphyry believed honey had four excellent qualities: 1) nourishing food 2) a good cleanser 3) healing power 4) pleasant due to its sweetness. I concur.
• Aristoxenus believed anyone who eats honey, spring onions and bread for his daily breakfast will be free from all diseases for life

Lavender: Lavender was used for many reasons, in addition to flavoring foods, purification rituals, insect repellant, scenting the baths, perfumes, and skin care it is antiseptic, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-convulsive, and has anti-depressant properties. It has been used to treat stress, anxiety, exhaustion, irritability, headaches, migraines, insomnia, depression, colds, digestion, flatulence, upset stomach, liver and gallbladder problems, nervousness, loss of appetite, and used as a breath freshener and mouthwash. It was originally known as nardus, sometimes seen translated as spikenard (which is an error) but eventually it was known as Lavandarius, derived from the Latin lavare "to wash", which you may be familiar with by now;) An interesting fact about Lavender is that the oil penetrates the skin so quickly that within as little as five minutes it can be detected in the blood.
For relaxation and sleep, easing symptoms of depression, and reducing headache pain: place lavender flowers into water, bring to a boil or add 2 drops of essential oil to 2 cups of boiling water; take off stove and inhale the steam. Full strength oil can be rubbed into the temple area for headaches and migraines. You can also put some water in an incense oil burner with a few drops of oil place it in the room of the person being treated and let them inhale.
For cuts, scrapes, wounds, burns, bee, wasp, and insect stings, rashes: You can apply a tea made with Lavender, a poultice with the flowers or tea bag and apply to skin. Best to apply as a compress made with a Lavender infusion. You can also apply a drop or two of Lavender undiluted or diluted with equal amount of oil. Do not use on open wounds.
General Applications: Use unsweetened tea as a hair rinse to help reduce hair loss and dandruff; dried flowers for sleep and dream pillows; potpourris, sachets used in closets and drawers to keep clothes fresh and repel moths; few drops of oil or flowers in a cloth bag in warm bath water for relaxation. Stems with the leaves stripped make an excellent incense stick. For a nice massage lotion add 10 drops of oil to an ounce (30 drops) of lotion.
As a Tea: 1 - 2 tsp whole herb per cup of hot water. Steep for 10 - 15 minutes and drink, 1-3 times a day.
As a Tincture (1:4): 20 - 40 drops, 3 times a day
Do Not Use Lavender Oil Internally and avoid contact with eyes or mucous membranes.
Using dried whole lavender flowers you can make an essential oil or healing oil.

Lemon: Lemon is used as a diuretic, antiscorbutic (prevents scurvy), astringent, and febrifuge. Lemon juice is an effective germicide. The lemon has an alkaline effect and despite the high acid content wheit has been digested in the stomach it will alkalinize. Bioflavonoids found in lemons help strengthen the inner lining blood vessels making it beneficial for circulatory disorders, bleeding gums and also helps alleviate varicose veins and stops easy bruising of the skin. Its cleansing and antiseptic actions make it effective in the treatment of arteriosclerosis. The Mediterranean sweet lemon, not the lime, that was used aboard 18th century British sailing ships to prevent scurvy, even though the sailors became known as "limeys". A root decoction is taken as a treatment for fever and gonorrhea. Oil is expressed from lemon seeds. The meningococcus bacteria dies within fifteen minutes when sprayed with lemon oil, the typhoid bacilli takes just an hour, in two hours the Staphylococcus aureus strain, the Pneumococcus bacterial strain will die off within three hours of use after treatment. Diphtheria and Tuberculosis is also killed off by treatment. Lemons also aid the formation and development of leukocytes in the blood, help improve and boost the memory, and actively strengthen nails.
Colic: bark or peel of the fruit infusion
Gingivitis, stomatitis, and inflammation of the tongue: Relieved by ingestion of the sweetened juice.
Daily laxative and preventive of the common cold: Lemon juice in hot water but be watchful as in some cases daily use has been known to erode teeth.
Cold remedy: Lemon juice and honey, or lemon juice with salt or ginger.
Detoxification: Accumulated toxins in the body can be flushed out using lemon juice and water.
Fevers: Mix lemon with boneset tea.
Acne, bug bite/stings, sunburn, athletes foot, ringworm, warts: apply juice undiluted to area.
Disinfectant: Lemon essential oil can be added to a spray bottle of water and sprayed into the air as a deodorizer, neutralizer, and air sterilizer.
Mouthwash: 2 to 4 drops to a 4 oz glass of water and gargle
Respiratory Ailment: Steam inhalation treatment: fill a large bowl or pan with boiling hot water and a few drops of lemon essential oil, inhale. Can also boil a whole crushed lemon in a couple cups of water, remove from heat and inhale. This should not be used in those with asthma.

Mint: Peppermint is often used interchangeably with spearmint but spearmint does not contain menthol and is a milder herb. Both are antiseptic, antispasmodic, carminative, cephalic, emenagogue, insecticide, restorative, pain relievers and stimulant. Peppermint is an effective treatment for indigestion, nausea, sore throats, colds, cramps and gas. Its antibacterial and anti viral qualities make it a useful ingredient in toiletries. In ancient Rome, the poet Ovid mentions it as a symbol of hospitality and mint was strewn on floors and served with food so guests would know that a house had been cleaned and made ready for their visit. Peppermint stimulates the gallbladder to secrete bile which promotes digestion. It relaxes the muscles of the throat and stomach and has a slight anesthetic effect. Peppermint contains menthol that has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. In ancient Rome Spearmint was believed to stimulate the mind, Pliny said it "reanimates the spirit." it is probably the mint referred to when just "mint" is noted – mint was also used to pay taxes. Banquet tables were rubbed with mint to perfume the air and ensure healthy appetites; guests chewed sprigs of mint to soothe their stomachs and aid digestion. It was used to flavor wines and sauces. It was used as a diuretic and digestive as well as for coughs and colds. Spearmint is known to help alleviate symptoms of asthma, congestion, relieves fever, flatulence, constipation, sinusitis, acne, gum and teeth problems, migraine, stress and depression. Because it has less menthol content, it can be safely given to the children – but not the oil which is concentrated and has a higher menthol content than the herb. Put some bruised leave in a cloth bag and add to the bath for a wonderful experience as they did in ancient Rome. Spearmint is also known to reduce facial hair in post hormonal women. Both peppermint and spearmint can be used interchangeably except in children which should only be given spearmint.
Wintergreen: Infused leaves or whole plant may be taken freely. Wintergreen Oil is not for internal ingestion but 1 to 30 drops in liniments or massage oils is wonderful for external massage that treats arthritis, rheumatism, spasms, muscle cramps, promotes circulation and prevents premature ageing. A few drops in water vaporized into the air is beneficial for congestion and cough. Do not use if you are taking blood thinners and do not use on children. Wintergreen contains methyl salicylate and one teaspoon of Oil of Wintergreen is equivalent to approximately 7000 mg of salicylate or 21.7 adult aspirin tablets, so use the Oil topically just to be safe.
Indigestion, cramps, motion sickness, or gas; 1-2 tsp of dried mint per cup of boiling water, steep 10 minutes, strain and sip. 3X daily.
Sore throat: The analgesic benefit of mint tea will soothe the throat.
Prevent mosquito and other insect bites: Rub exposed skin with mint leafs - it acts as a natural insecticide.
Decongestant, cough suppressant: 1-2 tsp of dried mint per cup of boiling water, steep 10 minutes, strain and sip. 3X daily.

Rosemary: Rosemary (ros marinus, meaning sea dew) - burnt for purification, used as a funerary herb and placed in the hands of the dead. Romans had knowledge of its antiseptic properties and used it in medicines also used to preserve foods. Rosemary water is used for outbreaks of mild acne and also for rashes. Rosemary is also the middle note in perfumery. It was placed in the hands of the dead.
Tea: 1 cup of boiling water per 1 teaspoon of the dried leaves. 3x day. An infusion makes a good facial rinse.
Essential oil of rosemary should be diluted to avoid skin irritation and makes great massage oil. It also makes a good salve, hand cream or facial cleanser. Rosemary oil can be used in burners, potpourri, or in sachets.
Minor cuts and scrapes: press some fresh rosemary leaves into the wound, then wash and bandage – prevents infection.
Decongestant and digestive problems: brew tea as directed – the steam is good as an inhalant.

Garlic or Tea Tree Oil/Cajeput: Garlic is a blood purifier, antioxidant, antibiotic, de-toxifier and smooth muscle relaxant. Adenosine, found in the herb, will lower blood pressure. It will lower cholesterol, relieve rheumatism, prevent blood clots, boost the immune system and protect against heart disease and strokes. Garlic reduces blood glucose also. Dose: 4 g (one to two cloves) of raw garlic per day, one 300-mg dried garlic powder tablet two to three times per day, or 7.2 g of aged garlic extract per day. Infusions: six cloves chopped in 1 cup cool water, steep for six hours. Tincture: soak one cup of crushed cloves in 1 quart of brandy, shake the mixture daily for two weeks then take 1 to 3 tablespoons per day. A dose of penicillin is typically 600,000 to 1.2 million units. The equivalent in garlic is about 6 to 12 cloves – chew 3 cloves at a time two or three times a day for natural antibiotic equivalent to penicillin. Tea tree oil is an antiseptic for burns, cuts and insect bites, relives acne, eczema and fungal infections of the skin. Do not ingest tee tree oil or cajeput, as little as a few teaspoons could be fatal.
Minor skin infections, acne: juice of garlic or tea tree oil applied directly.
Reduce Blood Pressure: 3 – 10 cloves of raw garlic per day or infusion
Mosquito or chigger bites: Ingestion of garlic is a natural repellent, use tincture directly to bites. Tea Tree rubbed on the bites gives instant relief.
Skin abscess: apply tea tree or garlic water infusion directly to prevent/treat infection and reduce inflammation.
Toothache: apply tea tree or cajeput oil in a warm compress to side of face, do not ingest. Garlic tincture may be applied directly to tooth and surrounding gum
Vaginal Yeast infection: place a few drop of tea tree or cajeput on tampon and insert it leaving in place for 24 hours before removing it.
Nail fungus: apply tea tree/cajeput to skin and nails twice a day.

Thyme: Thyme has been used for respiratory ailments for its infection-fighting and cough suppressive qualities. Thyme tea is a cough, cold and hangover remedy. Thyme has antimicrobial properties and a muscle relaxant effect. Do not use oil unless for massage lotions because it is highly toxic.
Cold and flu symptoms and hangover: Infuse up to 2 tsp. dried thyme leaves or 2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves in boiling water, steep for ten minutes; drink 2-3 cups per day. Gargle with infusion to relieve sore throats and tonsillitis.
Muscle pain: put a few drops thyme oil into an ounce of lotion and massage. Add a handful of fresh thyme leaves to a warm bath.
Fresh minor wounds: apply crushed thyme leaves until you can wash and bandage them, after the wound is thoroughly wash apply a few drops of thyme tincture. (NOT oil)
Menstrual pain: only a small amount is needed to relieve, a cup of tea will help. Note: in large amounts it is considered a uterine stimulant so don't overdo, in this case less is more.
Digestive complaints: relaxes the smooth muscle of the GI tract so it is an antispasmodic, there are also studied showing thyme inhibits the growth of Helicobacter pylori, the bacteria that causes GI ulcers, so a cup or two of thyme tea is beneficial. Tincture can be taken ½ to t teaspoon 3X a day.

For years you have tried to discredit me as you have done to others before with your crude jokes, your insults, lies, and slander.

My response has always been to build, to teach, to provide information, and to advise. I help people, while you only insult and tear others down. People know what I am like and what I have done these past years for the religio Romana and for Nova Roma. And they also know what you are like and what you have repeatedly done to Nova Roma.

Is that what you propose now? That a choice be given whether to keep you or me? I will accept that challenge. Let the Senate decide, let any comitia decide. Are you willing to live with the result as I am?

Subject: Tag der Archäologie in Mannheim, Germania
Salvete,

On October 9th, the 7th "Tag der Archäologie" will take place in and around Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germania and there are several excurions to Roman villas/museums and also current archeological digs in the area. I'm wondering if any one else from NR will go? By the way, the website is: http://www.foerderkreis-archaeologie.de/ and the 3 itineraries are listed after clicking on 'Tagungs-Flyer' under that article. I will be moving there in September and it will be nice to meet up with others and see a current dig.

Valete,

Ex Officio Consulis Caesonis Fabii Buteonis Quintiliani

Edictum Consulare CFBQ XXIII on the possibility to use Cent. XIV to
solve the present situation

I. Cent. XIV was chosen under my auspices, I therefor ask the
Collegium Augurum if it would be possible to solve the present
situation which is bad for the Res Publica and for the Pax Deorum by
doing the following.

II. I hereby ask the Collegium Augurum to consider if it would be
possible to take auspices to determine if use of Cent. XIV as Centuria
Praerogativa for the latest meeting of the Comitia Centuriata would be
accceptable?

III. This Edictum becomes effective immediately.


Given this 14th of July, in the year of the Consulship of P. Memmius
Albucius and the Second Consulship of K.Fabius Buteo Quintilianus,
2763 AUC.

Subject: Re: CLOSING SACRIFICE - To Apollo the Healing
C. Petronius Cn. Lentulo suo s.p.d.,

A very beautiful prayer to Apollo and good standing with formular tradition.

May I say 2 things:

1) Why did you pray Apollo Medicus about the ML disputs? I think this god not being the good to resolve that problem.
Your prayer is very touching, and I think efficient, when you pray him about the 3 individual for a better health.
But, in my opinion, Apollo Medicus is not the good god to obtain a peaceful ML. But why not?

2) Why did you not close your prayer with the goddess Vesta openly named? As tradition wanted, if i am not wrong, prayer begins with Janus, closes with Vesta.

So, your text as usual was super!

Bravo.

Thank you including my son in prayers.
 
Now he is back home and safe. One must pay attention using very cold beverages and too much ice cream during the hot weather. I didn’t know until now that is possible as the excessive usage of these can result in surgery. My son was fortunate, the penicillin treatment had very good results and the surgery was avoided. I was really scared.
 
Congratulations to the ludi organizers for their fine dedication.
 
VALE,
T. Iulius Sabinus

Apollo Medicus! God of the Healing! We need You in our Nova Roman life! Heal our wounds, as a community, heal our diseases, heal our illness! We want Nova Roma saved from the dissension because we love Nova Roma. Nova Roma lives in our hearts, and there is no other name, no other Roman republic to which we want to belong. Take care of Nova Roma, Citizens, let the politics to the
politicians, to the magistrates, and redeem your place where you have
to stand in the gap. Everyone has a job in Nova Roma. Find yours, and
do your best in your place. That's healing Nova Roma. That's doing better.

I performed the following ceremony and I sacrificed incense and wine to Apollo for healing the sick cives, and healing the wounds of Nova Roma that the parties caused with their partisanship and mutual hatred.

In the name of Nova Roma, I prayed for the following citizens by name:

T. Iulius Sabinus Crassus, son of the Censor, T. Sabinus;
Eq. Iunia Laeca, our former praetrix and curatrix aerarii;
C. Valeria Pulchra, wife of C. Tullius Valerianus, the Latinist.

Subject: Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen (wasRe: [Nova-Roma] Re: Hyp
Oh!

Well we must fix that right now! ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc-P8oDuS0Q

Come on Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners (also written Dexys Midnight
Runners) is a seminal song of the 80s that has lasted over 20 years since
its 1982 release. It is particularly popular in pubs and as a cover version
for live bands since it allows the audience to sing along. Unfortunately,
the lyrics to Come on Eileen can be hard to make out. In many situations you
will often hear the chorus sung by an audience as:
Come on Eileen
Swear [La La] means
[La La La] mean everything
Pretty white dress
[La La La La] ...ess
[La La La La]
Come on Elieen

*Compare this to the real chorus:*

Come on Eileen, well I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
With you in that dress my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen

The verses are also a little difficult to understand mainly due to the
backing vocals frequently singing over the top of the lead singers words.
Sometimes these backing vocals are repeating parts of the verse, at other
times they are adding in words. Furthermore, some words are barely audible
while others in the middle of the line tend to be stretched out - giving the
impression that it is either the last word in a line or the start of
another, when in fact it is in the middle.

This vocal structure gives the song is characteristic sound, and makes it a
lot of fun to sing along. You don't really need to know the lyrics, just
throw in the occasional 'Come On Eileen', 'Everything', 'Torra loora rye
aye' and '..ess'. If you want a crack at the lyrics, here they are:

*Come on Eileen
Dexy's Midnight Runners (Dexys Midnight Runners)*

Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
He moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried and sang along and who'd blame them
Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever
Go toora loora toora loo rye aye
And we can sing just like our fathers

Come on Eileen, well I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
With you in that dress my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen

These people round here wear beaten down eyes
Sunk in smoke dried faces
They're so resigned to what their fate is
But not us, no not us
We are far too young and clever
Eileen I'll sing this tune forever

Come on Eileen well I swear (what he means)
Ah come on, let's take off everything
That pretty red dress Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah come on Eileen

Perhaps the cultores deorum, sacerdotes, augures, and pontifices should just leave NR and establish an organization based solely on the reconstruction and practice of the sacra and religio. Or assisting in preservation of sacred archaeological sites or work with other organizations that are solely to voted to reconstructed religions without all the useless offices that are quite historical and totally without effectiveness.

Let's leave all the mock jurisprudence, indecipherable leges, and other ca-ca behind so that NR can slowly go on their merry way.

It would be interesting to see what NR would be in a year or so.

Ah well, that is a lovely fantasy of mine.

The only problem is that the religiones Romanae were practiced for the benefit of the State. Without the State - the Respublica - there is no point in a State cult.

It's absolutely true that the pontifices etc. could go off and simply found a "church" in the US (for lack of a better word). But it would not be Roman in the most essential or applicable sense of the word.

Subject: R: [Nova-Roma] Re: Hypocrite Sulla
Cn. Lentulus C. Equitio et Fl. Galerio sal.


I agree with Cato. An organization with priests only (and without state magistrates) is nothing else than a "Church", and there is nothing more alien from Roman religion than a Church. And BTW, the magistrates are priests themselves, the magistrates' duty is the execute the religious tasks of the community, and they have to perform the rites for the community.

The Roman religion is a national religion, the religion of the Roman nation/people. Without Roman nation and state there is no Roman religion, just religion of individuals, Equitian religion, Cornelian religion or Moravian religion, continuing the family traditions. That would be a wonderful thing in itself, but it would not be "THE ROMAN RELIGION", just "A RELIGION OF A ROMAN". If the Nova Roman state would be dissolved, the public religion of modern Romans would automatically be Roman Catholicism centered in Rome, which is the second closest bearer of Roman legacy.

So, wither we want to have a modern Roman nation and state, res publica, whose Roman culture involves Roman religion as its inseparable part, or we would only have sect of independet Roman families who worship different divinities, from Mithras to Juppiter, from Jesus to Bona Dea, because private family religion CAN NOT be regularized, that's the point of the Roman religion. However, if individual family traditions can not be regularized into a "Church", then what's the point of creating an organization for purely family religion? We already have Nova Roma, where indivifuals with family traditions of various religions can find each other and share their experience. The common point, where these individuals meet is the unified and regularized state cult, where everyone is represented as a community, in the state rituals and sacrifices.

So our goal can NOT be to create a Roman "Church", the pope already has one. A modern Roman can want only ONE thing: the restoration of the Roman culture of the Roman people assembled in a res publica, and the religion is only an aspect of it, inseparable, interwoven, omnipresent and fundamental, but only part of it, and is not the entirity.

Group: Nova-Roma Message: 77959 From: marcushoratius Date: 2010-07-14
Subject: Re: The Religio Romana and the State [was Hypocrite Sulla]
M. Moravius Catone et omnibus s. p. d.

This is utter nonsense and the foundation of much of the problem in Nova Roma. The religio populi Romana is not, and never was a state religion. You confuse the sacra publica as though that was the only religio Romana. Central and foremost in the religio Romana are the cultus Deorum of families and the cultus owed to our Lares. These existed long before the founding of Rome, and then the sacra publica were established by Numa after Rome was was well established.

Many here who are not cultores or gentiles Romani, who are not practitioners of the religio Romana consider it a formality and not a religion in its own right. That is where conflicts will always arise to pose a distinction between civil and religious aspects of our civitas. But their is no real distinction to be made in a Roman res publica. Those who treat the religio Romana merely as a formality to go around do not respect it as a religion, or if they do see it as a kind of religion, place it on a lesser status than other religions. They cannot understand therefore that there is an inner logic of the religio that cultores Deorum rely on in trying to reconstruct our sacra publica and how they interact into the rest of our civitas.

This is the crux of the problem with the recent elections of the Comitia Centuriata and the actions of Consul Memmius. He thought he could dispense with the augures who preserve the ars augurum as his civil authority exceeds the authority of all other magistrates. But look at what Cicero says in de Legibus 2.31

"The greatest and most prestigeous power in the state is that of the augurs, combined, as it is, with political authority. I don't say this because I'm an augur myself but simply because one cannot think otherwise. If we consider their official rights, what is more impressive than the ability to dismiss an assemblies and meetings called by magistrates (with or without imperium), or, when they have already taken place, to cancel their decisions? What is more momentous than the abortion of a process already begun, if one augur pronounces "alio die"? What is more majestic than the right to decide that consuls should resign their office? What is more awesome than the power to grant or withhold the right to do political business with the people or plebs? Or than quashing laws illegally approved, as when the Titian law was annulled by decretum collegii (augurum), or when the Livian laws were cancelled on the recommendation of Philippus who was both consul and augur? Or than the fact that nothing done by any official at home or in the field can receive the approval of any body without their permission?"

Such powers though are not political, augures are not magistrates, and no one regarded their determinations to be decisions that were to be endlessly argued over. They reported what the Gods had shown through signs and the pietas of everyone respected it.

If you are a Christian and you enter a mosque, a Buddhist temple, a Shinto shrine do you not show respect and preserve the decorum appropriate to a religious place? Do Jews disrespect the decorum of a Christian site? Do Hindus mock your God and behave inappropriately in the holy places of other religions? But here in Nova Roma, where the religio Romana is suppose to be the State religion it is held in contempt by our own senators and our own magistrates.

There will be no res publica if the religio Romana is disregarded, if our cultores Deorum leave, if our collegia empty of sacerdotes and civil authorities replace them with appointments. All that shall remain is a mockery of the religio Romana, a state with a hollow "state religion" but never again a res publica of the civitas we call Nova Roma.

Cn. Lentulus pontifex flamini C. Petronio suo s.p.d.,





>>> 1) Why did you pray Apollo Medicus about the ML disputs? I think this god not being the good to resolve that problem. <<<


I explain. He is a god who resolve diseases and illness, both physical and mental. Disturbance of the psyche, mind and heart, are some kind of disease of Nova Roma, in my view, because some Nova Romans, instead of choosing what is right and beneficial to Nova Roma, instead of working together towards the goals, they choose to quarrel and conflict, to obstruct and hijack. It seems to me very similar to a psychical problem in Nova Roma, some people have ill hearts and exacerbated psyche. May Apollo Medicus heal them and heal the ill patterns of community behaviour! This is why I included this into the prayer to Apollo Medicus.



>>>> 2) Why did you not close your prayer with the goddess Vesta openly
named? As tradition wanted, if i am not wrong, prayer begins with
Janus, closes with Vesta. <<<


In the sources I used to create prayer formulas I did not find how to close the prayers with Vesta, therefore I use an unhistorical closing and when I extinguish the fire of the altar, I say in myself "Vesta be good willing and propitious". Do you know of any authentic prayer formula from original Roman sources that teaches us what words to use to close the prayer with Vesta?



Vale, amice flamen!

AUC 474 / 279 BCE: Pyrrhic victory at Battle of Asculum.

There are two main accounts of the battle, by Plutarch and Dionysius of Halicarnassus, while the most important, that of Hieronymus, is missing. Livy's account is also missing; all that remains is a summary in the Perioche (13.9): "For the second time, the Romans fought unsuccessfully against Pyrrhus."

"Afterwards, his affairs demanding a second fight, when he had refreshed his men, he decamped, and met the Romans about the city Asculum, where, however, he was much incommoded by a woody country unfit for his horse, and a swift river, so that the elephants, for want of sure treading, could not get up with the infantry. After many wounded and many killed, night put an end to the engagement. Next day, designing to make the fight on even ground, and have the elephants among the thickest of the enemy, he caused a detachment to possess themselves of those incommodious grounds, and, mixing slingers and archers among the elephants, with full strength and courage, he advanced in a close and well-ordered body. The Romans, not having those advantages of retreating and falling on as they pleased, which they had before, were obliged to fight man to man upon plain ground, and, being anxious to drive back the infantry before the elephants could get up, they fought fiercely with their swords among the Macedonian spears, not sparing themselves, thinking only to wound and kill, without regard to what they suffered. After a long and obstinate fight, the first giving ground is reported to have been where Pyrrhus himself engaged with extraordinary courage; but they were most carried away by the overwhelming force of the elephants, not being able to make use of their valour, but overthrown as it were by the irruption of a sea or an earthquake, before which it seemed better to give way than to die without doing anything, and not gain the least advantage by suffering the utmost extremity, the retreat to their camp not being far. Hieronymus says there fell six thousand of the Romans, and of Pyrrhus's men, the king's own commentaries reported three thousand five hundred and fifty lost in this action. Dionysius, however, neither gives any account of two engagements at Asculum, nor allows the Romans to have been certainly beaten, stating that once only after they had fought till sunset, both armies were unwillingly separated by the night, Pyrrhus being wounded by a javelin in the arm, and his baggage plundered by the Samnites, that in all there died of Pyrrhus's men and the Romans above fifteen thousand. The armies separated; and, it is said, Pyrrhus replied to one that gave him joy of his victory that one other such would utterly undo him. For he had lost a great part of the forces he brought with him, and almost all his particular friends and principal commanders; there were no others there to make recruits, and he found the confederates in Italy backward. On the other hand, as from a fountain continually flowing out of the city, the Roman camp was quickly and plentifully filled up with fresh men, not at all abating in courage for the loss they sustained, but even from their very anger gaining new force and resolution to go on with the war." ~ Plutarch, Life of Pyrrhus 21


"Having agreed through heralds upon the time when they would join in battle, they descended from their camps and took up their positions as follows: King Pyrrhus gave the Macedonian phalanx the first place on the right wing and placed next to it the Italiot mercenaries from Tarentum; then the troops from Ambracia and after them the phalanx of Tarentines equipped with white shields, forced by the allied force of Bruttians and Lucanians; in the middle of the battle-line he stationed the Thesprotians and Chaonians; next to them the mercenaries of the Aetolians, Acarnanians and Athamanians, and finally the Samnites, who constituted the left wing. 3Of the horse, he stationed the Samnite, Thessalian and Bruttian squadrons and the Tarentine mercenary force upon the right wing, and the Ambraciot, Lucanian and Tarentine squadrons and the Greek mercenaries, consisting of Acarnanians, Aetolians, Macedonians and Athamanians, on the left. The light-armed troops and the elephants he divided into two groups and placed them behind both wings, at a reasonable distance, in a position slightly elevated above the plain. He himself, surrounded by the royal agema, as it was called, of picked horsemen, about two thousand in number, was outs the battle-line, so as to aid promptly any of his troops in turn that might be hard pressed.

"The consuls arrayed on their left wing the legion called the first, facing the Macedonian and Ambraciot phalanx and the Tarentine mercenaries, and, next to the first legion, the third, over against the Tarentine phalanx with its white shields and the Bruttian and Lucanian allied forces; 5 adjoining the third army they placed the fourth, facing the Molossians, Chaonians and Thesprotians; and the second on the right wing opposite the mercenaries from Greece — the Aetolians, Acarnanians and Athamanians — and the Samnite phalanx that was equipped with oblong shields. The Latins, Campanians, substitutes, Umbrians, Volscians, Marrucini, Peligni, Ferentani, and their other subjects they divided into four divisions and mingled them with the Roman legions, in order that no part of their lines might be weak. 6 And dividing the cavalry, both their own and that of their allies, they placed it on both wings. Outside the line they stationed the light-armed troops and the wagons, three hundred in number, which they had got ready for the battle against the elephants. These wagons had upright beams on which were mounted movable traverse poles that could be swung round as quick as thought in any direction one might wish, and on the ends of the poles there were either tridents or sword-like spikes or scythes all of iron; or again they had cranes that hurled down heavy grappling-irons. Many of the poles had attached to them and projecting in front of the wagons fire-bearing grapnels wrapped in tow that had been liberally daubed with pitch, which men standing on the wagons were to set afire as soon as they came near the elephants and then rain blows with them upon the trunks and faces of the beasts. Furthermore, standing on the wagons, which were four-wheeled, were many also of the light-armed troops - bowmen, hurlers of stones and slingers who threw iron caltrops; and on the ground beside the wagons there were still more men.

"This was the battle order of the two armies that had taken the field. The forces on the king's side numbered 70,000 foot, of whom the Greeks who had crossed the Ionian gulf amounted to 16,000; on the Roman side there were more than 70,000, about 20,000 of them being from Rome itself. Of horse the Romans had about 8,000, while Pyrrhus had slightly more, as well as nineteen elephants.

"When the signals for battle were hoisted, the soldiers first chanted their war songs, and then, raising the battle-cry to Enyalius, advanced to the fray, engaged and fought, displaying all their skill in arms. The cavalry stationed upon both wings, knowing beforehand in what tactics they had the advantage over the enemy, resorted to those tactics, the Romans to a hand-to hand, stationary combat, and the Greek horse to flanking and deploying maneuvers. The Romans, when they were pursued by the Greeks, would wheel their horses about, and checking them with the reins, would fight an infantry battle; the Greeks, when they perceived that the Romans were their equals in combat, would swerve to the right and countermarching past one another, would whirl about their horses once more to face forward, and applying the spurs, would charge the enemy's ranks. Such was the character of the cavalry battle. The fighting of the infantry was in some respects similar to it, in other ways different; it was similar on the whole, but different in details. For the right wing of each army was the stronger one, the left being weaker. Nevertheless, neither side turned its back ignominiously to the foe, but both maintained good order, remaining with the standards and protecting themselves with their shields while gradually falling back. Those who distinguished themselves for valor were, on the king's side, the Macedonians, who repulsed the first Roman legion and the Latins arrayed with it; and, on the Roman side, those who constituted the second legion and were opposed to the Molossians, Thesprotians and Chaonians. When the king had ordered the elephants seem to be led up to the part of the line that was in difficulties, the Romans mounted on the pole-bearing wagons, upon learning of the approach of the beasts, drove to meet them. At first they checked the onrush of the beasts, smiting them with their engines and turning the fire-bearing grapnels into their eyes. Then, when the men stationed in their towers no longer drove the beasts forward, but hurled their spears down from above, and the light-armed troops cut through the wattled screens surrounding the wagons and hamstrung the oxen, the men at the machines, leaping down from their cars, fled for refuge to the nearest infantry and caused great confusion among them. The Lucanians and Bruttians arrayed in the middle of the king's battle-line, after fighting for no great while, turned to flight when repulsed by the fourth Roman legion. When once these gave way and their part of the line was broken through, the Tarentines also, who had their station next to them, did not remain, but they too turned their backs to the enemy and fled.

"When King Pyrrhus learned that the Lucanians, Bruttians and Tarentines were in headlong flight and that their part of the line was disrupted, he turned a part of the squadron that was with him over to other commanders, and from the right wing sent other horsemen, as many as he thought would be sufficient, as reinforcements to those who were being pursued by the Romans. But during the time that this was going on, there was a manifest intervention of the divine power on the side of the Romans. Some of the Daunians, it seems, from the city of Argyrippa, which they now call Arpi, four thousand foot and some four hundred horse who had been sent to the assistance of the consuls, arrived near the royal camp while proceeding by mere chance along the road that led in the enemy's rear, and saw the plain full of men. After stopping there a short while and indulging in all manner of speculations, they decided not to descend from the heights and take part in the battle, since they did not know either where there was a friendly force or where a hostile one, nor could conjecture in what place they should take their stand in order to render some aid to their allies; and they thought it would be best to surround and destroy the enemy's camp, since not only would they themselves get much fine booty if they should capture the baggage, but they would also cause much confusion to their enemies if these should see their camp suddenly ablaze. (The scene of the battle was not more than twenty stades distant.) Having come to this decision and having learned from some prisoners, who had been captured when they had gone out to gather wood, that only a very few were guarding the camp; they attacked them from all sides. Pyrrhus, learning of this through the report of a cavalryman who, when the siege of the camp began, drove his horse through the enemy's lines, and applying the spurs, was soon at p399hand, decided to keep the rest of his forces in the plain and not to recall or disturb the phalanx, but sent the elephants and the boldest of the horse, carefully selected, as reinforcements for the camp. 4 But while these were still on the way, the camp was suddenly taken and set on fire.

"Those who had accomplished this feat, upon learning that the troops sent by the king were coming down from the heights against them, fled to the summit of a hill which could not easily be ascended by either the beasts or the horses. The king's troops, having arrived too late to be of assistance, turned against the Romans of the third and fourth legions, who had advanced far ahead of the others after routing the foes who faced them. But the Romans, becoming aware in advance of their approach, ran up to a lofty and thickly-wooded spot and arrayed themselves in battle order. The elephants, accordingly, being unable to ascend the height, caused them no harm, nor did the squadrons of horse; but the bowmen and slingers, hurling their missiles from all sides, wounded and destroyed many of them. When the commanders became aware of what was going on there, Pyrrhus sent, from his line of infantry, the Athamanians and Acarnanians and some of the Samnites, while the Roman consul sent some squadrons of horse, since the foot needed such assistance. And at this same time a fresh battle took place there between the foot and horse and there was still greater slaughter.

"Following the king's lead, the Roman consuls also recalled their troops when it was near sunset, and taking them across the river led them back to their camp as darkness was already coming on. The forces of Pyrrhus, having lost their tents, pack-animals and slaves, and all their baggage, encamped upon a height, where they spent the following night under the open sky, without either baggage or attendance and not well supplied with even the necessary food, so that many wounded men actually perished, when they might still have been saved had they received assistance and care. Such was the outcome of the second battle between the Romans and Pyrrhus, near the town of Asculum." ~ Dionyssius of Halicarnasus 20.1-3

Cn. Lentulus pont. M. Piscino pont. max. sal.


I essentially agree with you, Pontifex Maxime, but what Cato said, with your refinements added, are, from some aspects, valid points.

I would like to add only one thing to your valuable post, Pontifex Maxime.

When you write to C. Equitius:

"You confuse the sacra publica as though that was the only religio
Romana. Central and foremost in the religio Romana are the cultus
Deorum of families and the cultus owed to our Lares. These existed long
before the founding of Rome, and then the sacra publica were
established by Numa after Rome was well established."

You are precisely right. But the cultus of the families is not properly called *Roman* religion, but the religion of *a Roman family*, which is not the same. The Roman religion as the religion of the Roman people is the sacra publica, the cultus that is conducted for Rome, for the populus and for their res publica and civitas. So I am reluctant to call Roman religion the mixture and variety of the cults of individuals and individual families, and instead, I can this "religion of a Roman family".

And you give the explanation why the denomination "Roman religion" is not appropriate for describing the various family traditions, when you write:

"These existed long
before the founding of Rome, and then the sacra publica were
established by Numa after Rome was well established"

How could we call them Roman, when they are not always Roman at all, and when they existed even before the idea "Rome" was ever born? They are Italic and Latin and Etruscan and other traditions, and what makes them Roman it is only when they meet together assembled in a community praying before the altar of the republic, and when all say it aloud: "we pray for the Roman republic and people of Rome" - in this moment the *Roman* religion is born, in this moment we can call it *Roman* proper.

M. Moravius Catoni et omnibus s. p. d.



This is utter nonsense and the foundation of much of the problem in Nova Roma. The religio populi Romana is not, and never was a state religion. You confuse the sacra publica as though that was the only religio Romana. Central and foremost in the religio Romana are the cultus Deorum of families and the cultus owed to our Lares. These existed long before the founding of Rome, and then the sacra publica were established by Numa after Rome was was well established.



Many here who are not cultores or gentiles Romani, who are not practitioners of the religio Romana consider it a formality and not a religion in its own right. That is where conflicts will always arise to pose a distinction between civil and religious aspects of our civitas. But their is no real distinction to be made in a Roman res publica. Those who treat the religio Romana merely as a formality to go around do not respect it as a religion, or if they do see it as a kind of religion, place it on a lesser status than other religions. They cannot understand therefore that there is an inner logic of the religio that cultores Deorum rely on in trying to reconstruct our sacra publica and how they interact into the rest of our civitas.



This is the crux of the problem with the recent elections of the Comitia Centuriata and the actions of Consul Memmius. He thought he could dispense with the augures who preserve the ars augurum as his civil authority exceeds the authority of all other magistrates. But look at what Cicero says in de Legibus 2.31



"The greatest and most prestigeous power in the state is that of the augurs, combined, as it is, with political authority. I don't say this because I'm an augur myself but simply because one cannot think otherwise. If we consider their official rights, what is more impressive than the ability to dismiss an assemblies and meetings called by magistrates (with or without imperium), or, when they have already taken place, to cancel their decisions? What is more momentous than the abortion of a process already begun, if one augur pronounces "alio die"? What is more majestic than the right to decide that consuls should resign their office? What is more awesome than the power to grant or withhold the right to do political business with the people or plebs? Or than quashing laws illegally approved, as when the Titian law was annulled by decretum collegii (augurum), or when the Livian laws were cancelled on the recommendation of Philippus who was both consul and
augur? Or than the fact that nothing done by any official at home or in the field can receive the approval of any body without their permission?"



Such powers though are not political, augures are not magistrates, and no one regarded their determinations to be decisions that were to be endlessly argued over. They reported what the Gods had shown through signs and the pietas of everyone respected it.



If you are a Christian and you enter a mosque, a Buddhist temple, a Shinto shrine do you not show respect and preserve the decorum appropriate to a religious place? Do Jews disrespect the decorum of a Christian site? Do Hindus mock your God and behave inappropriately in the holy places of other religions? But here in Nova Roma, where the religio Romana is suppose to be the State religion it is held in contempt by our own senators and our own magistrates.



There will be no res publica if the religio Romana is disregarded, if our cultores Deorum leave, if our collegia empty of sacerdotes and civil authorities replace them with appointments. All that shall remain is a mockery of the religio Romana, a state with a hollow "state religion" but never again a res publica of the civitas we call Nova Roma.

You wrote some time ago, Q. Fabi Sanga:


>>>> Does anyone think that we get to many e-mails to read per day and most of them

Not about Nova Roma. <<<<


And I fully agree with you. Our forum is misused, sometimes, abused, but in any case, very often not used correctly by our most vocal citizens.

I think it is a very serious problem damaging our attempts to involve new people into our central community forum's life, that lots of messages of little or no relevance, or of little or no weight are also flooding the this Main List, which makes participation harder for people with heavier, busier job or with less free time. The more "serious" one's job or other obligations are, the less tolerant they become with futile quarrels and irrelevant chatting. One expects the ML to be our official public communication forum where the most important and most serious discussions are conducted. I think people are right to be disappointed if it's not what they find there.

Let's suppose and let's accept that to know "how to behave like a
Roman" or to know Roman history, sociology, religion and culture requires a
huge experience and knowledge. We can accept that the more experienced
people we search, the less we find. There are a thousands of amateurs,
a couple of half-experts, and just a very few brilliant individuals.
Ideally, those more experienced and more knowledgeable should fill this
list with their posts, and within a few year this ML would become a
treasure to people who want to know how to behave as New Romans. But these educated and learned men and women, scholars, students, academics, experts and autodidact geniuses will not post frequently,
especially not *more* frequently than the rest of the citizens. Firstly,
because the more "knowledgeable" and experienced in Roman things one is,
the less time she or he has for writing and reading hunderds list e-mails (probably he teaches, studies, works
on scholarly projects etc), secondly, they are few in number.

This is, among many, many other things, why strong moderation is needed which could make some priorities in this forum and that could make this forum a friendly environment for intelligent, learned and educated people, for the ones like Gualterus, Cordus, Avitus or Scholastica, who are almost always polite and Roman, productive and valuable, but I think most of them abbhors from the chaos and barbarism which is often allowed here, that unproductive virtual gladiatorial arena which was supposed to serve as a solemn official forum of Nova Roma.

Vale!

I agree. Having the "state" is important to the development of Roman
Religion, it provides the backdrop in which the culture can develop. What
is necessary is the fostering of a cultural identity that allows for
disagreement but is built upon respect. Where people can disagree but in a
respectful way instead of the bitter animosities that prevail now. They are

Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to say, but you word it so concisely and precisely. It's all about developing a true Roman culture among us with the basic creed that we all can agree to disagree but never letting our disagreements cause that our community fall apart. It is absolutely necessary to foster a kind of cultural identity that allows for disagreement but is built upon respect. The bitter animosities are only ripping us apart and serving no useful purpose.

Cato Piscino sal.

The thing that definitively eats away the very foundation of your sermon, O Piscine, is that you are *not* reconstructing the ancient religiones Romanae. You are creating something that is very, very different.

Something as fundamental as the practice of taking the auspices, which we *know* we are doing incorrectly, yet we do nothing to correct, serves as a perfect example.

The right, the authority and privilege, of taking the State auspices belongs to the magistrates and - in the event of there being none - reverts to the patricians in the Senate. Not the augurs. If the taking of the auspices is so crucial to the life of the Respublica, your *first* action should be to get our magistrates and patrician senators to a place where they can be taken properly.

Yes, you may throw out the argument that no-one is smart enough pr knows enough or is good enough to take them except the members of the College of Augurs, but the fact - the very basic, elemental fact - remains that you are supporting a practice that flies directly in the face of ancient practice.

So before you start - or continue - yawping on about how sacred and important the religiones Romanae are, perhaps you might start encouraging them to be practiced as the ancients did instead of in the almost unrecognizable form that you uphold.

Vale,

Cato

Your posts get more and more bitter and times goes on. The situation is
that there are decent people who would not be able to participate in Nova
Roma if they where forced to take auspicies -- Tiberius Galerius Paulinus
for example. Our current system protects them, but allows for the primacy
of augury to prevail. It is a fix that allows for maximum involvement, and
accomodates rather than alienates.

You are so quick to attack, and their is a bitterness in your attitude that

You wrote some time ago, Q. Fabi Sanga:

And I fully agree with you. Our forum is misused, sometimes, abused, but in any
case, very often not used correctly by our most vocal citizens.

I think it is a very serious problem damaging our attempts to involve new people
into our central community forum's life, that lots of messages of little or no
relevance, or of little or no weight are also flooding the this Main List, which
makes participation harder for people with heavier, busier job or with less free
time. The more "serious" one's job or other obligations are, the less tolerant
they become with futile quarrels and irrelevant chatting. One expects the ML to
be our official public communication forum where the most important and most
serious discussions are conducted. I think people are right to be disappointed
if it's not what they find there.

Let's suppose and let's accept that to know "how to behave like a
Roman" or to know Roman history, sociology, religion and culture requires a
huge experience and knowledge. We can accept that the more experienced
people we search, the less we find. There are a thousands of amateurs,
a couple of half-experts, and just a very few brilliant individuals.
Ideally, those more experienced and more knowledgeable should fill this
list with their posts, and within a few year this ML would become a
treasure to people who want to know how to behave as New Romans. But these
educated and learned men and women, scholars, students, academics, experts and
autodidact geniuses will not post frequently,
especially not *more* frequently than the rest of the citizens. Firstly,
because the more "knowledgeable" and experienced in Roman things one is,
the less time she or he has for writing and reading hunderds list e-mails
(probably he teaches, studies, works
on scholarly projects etc), secondly, they are few in number.

This is, among many, many other things, why strong moderation is needed which
could make some priorities in this forum and that could make this forum a
friendly environment for intelligent, learned and educated people, for the ones
like Gualterus, Cordus, Avitus or Scholastica, who are almost always polite and
Roman, productive and valuable, but I think most of them abbhors from the chaos
and barbarism which is often allowed here, that unproductive virtual
gladiatorial arena which was supposed to serve as a solemn official forum of
Nova Roma.

Subject: Censorial nota.
SALVETE!

There are moments when Nova Roma, as the modern restoration of the ancient Roman Republic society, following the principles of ancient Rome culture, civilization and values in the way they are described in the preamble of our Constitution and nova roman laws, must pay attention to it public morality.

Public morality represents one of the censors' duties guaranteed through mos maiorum and Nova Roman Constitution. The term itself includes many interpretations but in first line is related to moral and ethical values of a society, community or group and is applied to public life and to conduct in public places.

It is expected as Nova Roman citizens to understand the importance of Roman values and to promote them inside our community through the personal example, in order to create a basis for what we consider as our own moral and ethical standards and more than that, our own moral code in connection with specific Roman culture, civilization and religion we follow.

Without that, personal and public virtues as dignitas, gravitas, honestas, pietas, veritas, aequitas and nobilitas will remain only empty words.
Without that, Nova Roma, will not succeed in it mission to recreate the best of ancient Rome.

To public characterize a member of our community with words as: "worthless pissant who would be better serving as a mop for the floors of the brothels of Las Vegas than in any official position within Nova Roma or any other organization which intends to hold repute", is more than an insult and the comment belong to improper behavior displayed in a public place how Nova Roma mailing list is.

These words deny any dignity to the human being and in the last part of the phrase of the women and affect one reputation and image.

* Reference: the mailing list message of Q. Caecilius Metellus Postumianus Pius no. 77802:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nova-Roma/message/77802

Therefore, we the censores K. Fabius Buteo Modianus and T. Iulius Sabinus in agreement and in concordance with the authority we were invested by the People of Nova Roma and the Nova Roman Constitution, 5.IV.A.1.f1, issue a nota against citizen, legatus pro praetore and pontifex Q. Caecilius Metellus Postumianus Pius.

"A nota against an ordinary individual is sufficient to deprive that individual of the right to vote until such time as it is removed"

Q. Caecilius Metellus Postumianus Pius is deprived of the right to vote until such time the current nota is removed.

Cato Modiano sal.

No, no bitterness, Modianus. That's called "projection", I believe.

The problem with *your* sermon is, of course, again that while there are constant cries to protect and defend and uphold the religiones Romanae, many of the very same people who are crying are the ones who are bastardizing those religiones.

They are the very same ones who misrepresent, misinterpret, and misunderstand the very sources they claim have so much importance. Do we need to eviscerate Piscinus' mumbo-jumbo regarding augury again? I would have thought once was enough.

Galerius Paulinus' case should be the *exception* to the rule; every effort should be made to allow non-practicing magistrates a way of fulfilling their historic roles, but it should not be at the foundation of the religiones Romanae, or the health of the State, that we continue to ignore ancient practice because it's convenient.

The magistrates and patrician senators should reclaim their ancient, rightful, lawful, and - need it be said - auspicious control of the taking of State auspices.

And the College of Augurs *could* correct it almost immediately, rather than wasting their time looking for scapegoats and villains hiding in the woodpile.

Before you can protect something you should make sure it's what you should be protecting to begin with.

Vale,

Cato

Subject: Re: Censorial nota.
Ave Censor,

I understand your rationale in formulating this nota, and if you do not
mind, I do have some questions.

In your opinion, is it worse for someone to try to ferment civil war and the
demise of the state including the exile of the non-cultors - as Hortensia
Maior has repeated on this very list - versus the inflammatory statements
uttered by Q. Caecilius. Given that both individuals have been moderated
for the same time on this very list?

In the light of fairness and equality, given that both individuals have been
moderated it would seem reasonable that both individuals should be notaed
for the same amount of time- considering that your rationale in nota'ing
Pontiff Metellus can be equally (perhaps even more so) to Hortensia Maior.

In essence, I am asking, why the double standard that Metellus who posted
the very same insult faced NO consequences - no moderation and no nota back
last year when he originally made the comment. What has changed?

I would sincerely request that if the dispassionate enforcement of justice
be the goal within Nova Roma that both individuals should face the same
punishment and in this case - Hortensia Maior should join Q. Caecilius in
being notaed.

Most Respectfully,

Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix

Group: Nova-Roma Message: 77977 From: C. Curius Saturninus Date: 2010-07-14
Subject: Intercessio: call for sententia by P. Memmius Albucius
Ex officio C. Curi tribuni plebis;

I issue intercessio on the call for sententia by the consul P. Memmius Albucius, his act is a violation of the Lex Salicia Judicaria ch. XIV

The document entitled 'Call for a sentence in "Caecilius vs. Hortensia"' is plainly intended to fulfill the requirement of the lex Salicia judiciaria ch. XIV: 'Once both parties have presented their evidence, each party shall have the opportunity to make one final statement in front of the iudices, with the actor speaking in the first place. Then the praetor shall call for a sententia (sentence) from the iudices, according to paragraph XV, reminding the iudices that, in case of doubt, they must *not* condemn the reus.'

There is nothing in the lex Salicia or any other lex or any other legal instrument in Nova Roma to give the slightest indication that the call for a sententia under ch. XIV should contain anything other than a request for the judex to deliver a sententia and a reminder of the presumption of innocence. There is certainly no legal justification whatsoever for the inclusion of an instruction or even advice about what the sententia should be. No call for a sententia in any trial ever held in Nova Roma under the lex Salicia has ever included this. There is no basis for it in ancient Roman law: on the contrary, the Roman formulary procedure on which the Salician procedure is very closely based did not permit the presiding magistrate to do this. The active involvement of the presiding magistrate essentially ceased with the issue of the formula, which contained all the magistrate's instructions to the judex.

For the presiding magistrate to tell the judex what verdict to deliver totally undermines the whole design of the Salician procedure, in which the presiding magistrate's role is to formulate the issues to be tried and the role of the judex is to answer the questions the presiding magistrate has set out in the formula. This division of roles is plainly evident from the text of the lex Salicia itself and is strongly supported by the very close similarity of that procedure to the ancient Roman formulary system, in which the division of roles was the same.

Moreover, even if the presiding magistrate had any lawful power to instruct or advise the judex what verdict to deliver, it would be unfair for him to do so because it would heavily influence the mind of the judex and effectively compromise the ability of the judex to make an independent and objective decision. The system is such that the judex or judices in a trial are selected at random from among the general population. The judex is clearly neither required nor intended to be legally qualified or in any way expert in legal matters. The judex is not required to be a magistrate, and even if he happens to be a magistrate this has no bearing on his role in the trial: his role is to be a private citizen making a decision based on common sense and not on legal expertise. The presiding magistrate, on the other hand, is a magistrate with imperium and has specific powers relating to the interpretation of law and the administration of justice. It would be extremely difficult for a judex to avoid being influenced, consciously or unconsciously, by an explicit recommendation or instruction from the presiding magistrate to deliver one verdict or the other. This would compromise the whole position of the judex as an objective decision-maker. Even if the judex were able to resist being unduly influenced by the call for a sententia, the public would be unable to be confident that he had done so, and therefore any sententia he did deliver, if it were the same as the one recommended by the presiding magistrate, would not be seen by the public as fair and independent, and the outcome of the trial would be perceived as unjust. It is therefore unfair and contrary to the spirit and intent and general principles of the law for a presiding magistrate in a trial under the Salician system to instruct or advise the judex on what sententia to deliver.

Further, it is extremely unfair in this specific case because the parties had no warning or notice that the presiding magistrate would seek to give such instructions. As I have said above, nothing in the law of Nova Roma, ancient Roman law, or the examples of previous trials in Nova Roma gave the parties any reason at all to think that the presiding magistrate could or would do this, and he never at any stage gave any indication that he himself intended to do it or considered that he had the power to do it. The parties have throughout the trial addressed their arguments and questions to the judex, believing that the judex would be making his decision alone. If the parties had known that the presiding magistrate would take this step, they would very probably have conducted their cases differently. They have therefore both been treated unfairly, in particular the accused who is disadvantaged by this unforeseen and unforeseeable action.

Further, the presiding magistrate bases his call for a verdict of condemnation upon false or mistaken presmises. He says that Q. Metellus has argued that 'the violation, by Hortensia, of the laws of Nova Roma would result first of the fact that her moderation decisions have been vetoed, and second that she would have refused to obey these vetos', and it is on this basis that he concludes that Q. Metellus has successfully argued his case. Metellus, however, has not put forward this argument. It is perfectly clear from his statements during the course of the trial that he regarded the vetoes purely as evidence that M. Hortensia must have known that what she was doing was illegal because she had done similar things before and they had been vetoed. At no stage did he say that she had refused to obey a veto, nor did he ever argue that her refusal to obey a veto was itself an offence of abusus potestatis. On the contrary, he made it perfectly clear that the sole and single allegation on which his case rested was that M. Hortensia placed C. Equitius on moderation by her second edictum of 6 June when she had no lawful power to do so and knowing that she had no lawful power to do so.

Therefore by adopting this argument that was never advanced by Metellus himself during the trial, either the presiding magistrate has demonstrated a very grave misunderstanding of the whole basis of the prosecution, in which case his call for a sententia should be vetoed as being fundamentally flawed in its legal reasoning, or else the presiding magistrate has deliberately reformulated the prosecution case in a way that differs from the prosecutor's own argument, in which case he is effectively prosecuting the case himself in contravention of his neutral role in proceedings, and has also introduced new arguments without giving the defence any opportunity to reply to them. In either case the presiding magistrate has by this action utterly compromised the fairness of the trial and his own role in it.

What is more, the presiding magistrate, in his explanation of his reasons for calling for condemnation, shows that he takes a fundamentally different view of the definition of the offence from the view that was agreed between the parties at trial and was accepted by the judex T. Julius. Q. Metellus in his opening remarks made it apparent that he did not ask the judex to find M. Hortensia guilty of the offence unless she had a culpable state of mind in doing what she did. One of his remarks seemed to indicate that, as far as he was concerned, she was guilty if she knew what she was doing was illegal *or* if she acted without caring whether it was illegal or not; another remark seemed to say that she was guilty only if she actually knew it was illegal. He was asked to clarify this beyond doubt and made it clear that he said she was guilty only if she knew it was illegal. The defence made it plain and explicit to the judex that they accepted and supported this view, and that M. Hortensia was not guilty of the offence unless she had done something she knew or believed to be illegal. The defence also explicitly asked the judex to say if he did not accept this definition, in order that further arguments could be put forward to support it. The judex did not say so. The request was later repeated privately to the judex, and the judex replied that there was no need to say any more about it. Therefore not only both parties but also, by clear and necessary implication, the judex himself agreed on this definition of the offence. The presiding magistrate in his call for a sententia plainly rejects it, basing his whole reasoning on whether M. Hortensia's actions were 'logical', 'reasonable', and explaining her actions by reference to 'the will that Hortensia had at this time that G. Equitius Cato be sanctioned, whatever the legality of such sanctions': in other words, he concludes that she acted without caring whether what she did was illegal or not, but he does not conclude that she knew she was acting illegally. The suggestion that she could be guilty merely as a result of acting without caring whether she was acting legally or illegally was explicitly raised in the course of the trial, explicitly disavowed by the prosecutor, and not discussed any further because both parties and the judex all agreed that this was not the correct legal definition of the offence. The presiding magistrate has resurrected it without allowing the parties any opportunity for discussion. Even, therefore, if his definition is not simply wrong (which both parties agree it is), it is undeniable that his introduction of it at this stage, without warning or right of reply, in direct contradiction of the basis on which the whole trial was conducted, utterly undermines the fairness of the trial.

Finally, the call for condemnation is also justified by the assertion that 'Hortensia Maior “used (her) magisterial powers to act against the lawful rights of a person”, here G. Equitius Cato, by re-issuing [the edictum of moderation] twice on June 6'. This, again, is in complete contradiction to the actual case advanced by the prosecutor. Q. Metellus made is completely clear from his very first remarks after the trial began that the second edictum of 6 June was the only act done by M. Hortensia that he alleged amounted to an offence of abusus potestatis. It was therefore that single edictum that formed the basis of the entire case as conducted by both parties and considered by the judex. Metellus explicitly disavowed any suggestion that the first edictum of 6 June constituted an offence for which he sought a condemnation. The presiding magistrate now calls for her condemnation on the basis of both her edicta of 6 June, thus clearly indicating that in his view the offence is made up of both the edicta taken together. He does not say that these two edicta make up two separate offences of abusus potestatis, therefore presumably neither one on its own is, in his view, sufficient for a condemnation. If he had considered the prosecution case as it was put forward, therefore, and addressed himself to the proposition actually advanced by Metellus that the second edictum was on its own an offence, he would presumably have had to conclude that it did not. Whether this is correct or not, it is in any case another clear and egregious example of the presiding magistrate ignoring the whole basis on which the case has been conducted, effectively taking over the prosecution himself and putting forward new allegations and arguments that were never made at trial by the prosecutor, giving neither party any opportunity to respond to these new allegations and arguments, and thus rendering it impossible for this trial to have a fair outcome.

In summary, the presiding magistrate has no power at all to instruct or advise the judex on which verdict to give; even if he has such a power, it is unfair and contrary to the spirit of the law and of justice to use it in this way; it is also specifically unfair in this case because the parties had no idea he was going to do it and could not reasonably have expected him to do it, and they might well have conducted their cases differently if they had known this; and the specific call for condemnation that the presiding magistrate has in fact issued in this case is legally flawed, ignores and contradicts in several ways the basis on which the whole trial was conducted by both parties and the judex, gives the parties no opportunity to answer the points that are raised for the first time by him now, and consequently severely compromises the fairness of the trial and its outcome.

My point of correction simply invites Piscinus to make sure - if he is going to say something about an historic event, and especially one of such enormous impact on human history - that he does so on the correct date.

It's like using big words - if you don't know what they mean or how to spell them, don't use them.

Sure, no problem.

In your opinion, is it worse for someone to try to ferment civil war and the

Maior has repeated on this very list - versus the inflammatory statements
uttered by Q. Caecilius.  Given that both individuals have been moderated

Both escaladated the common sense. However that comparision of Metellus with a mop used where was said to be used is top. With that the limit was reached. Whatever Maior said is not to the same level.

In the light of fairness and equality, given that both individuals have been
moderated it would seem reasonable that both individuals should be notaed
for the same amount of time- considering that your rationale in nota'ing
Pontiff Metellus can be equally (perhaps even more so) to Hortensia Maior.>>>
 

Ones words can result in moderation. Maybe the moderation is the same but the reason is not.
In essence, I am asking, why the double standard that Metellus who posted
the very same insult faced NO consequences - no moderation and no nota back
last year when he originally made the comment. What has changed?>>>
 

Last year censors can answer to that. As censor who entered in office this year I considered that is not normal to pay attention to what was happened in the past. I started fresh. And I extended that fresh start to all.
I would sincerely request that if the dispassionate enforcement of justice
be the goal within Nova Roma that both individuals should face the same
punishment and in this case - Hortensia Maior should join Q. Caecilius in
being notaed.>>>
 

A goal is concluded (if tangible) through a succession of steps. This is the step where we are now.
In the future it is under all of us, novi romani, to work to the next steps. Not through notes, not through trials but excluding all radical things.
It is normal to have in Nova Roma political fights? I will answer yes, but we need decent ones and not radical.
It is normal to have in Nova Roma harsh debates? I will answer yes but there must be a decent limit.
The human race moral evolution can not be denied. The moral code already was created in our genes. How I said in my note preamble, there is a time to pay attention to it. Here we are.

XIV: 'Once both parties have presented their evidence, each party shall have the opportunity to make one final statement in front of the iudices, with the actor speaking in the first place. Then the praetor shall call for a sententia (sentence) from the iudices, according to paragraph XV, reminding the iudices that, in case of doubt, they must *not* condemn the reus.'
>
> There is nothing in the lex Salicia or any other lex or any other legal instrument in Nova Roma to give the slightest indication that the call for a sententia under ch. XIV should contain anything other than a request for the judex to deliver a sententia and a reminder of the presumption of innocence. There is certainly no legal justification whatsoever for the inclusion of an instruction or even advice about what the sententia should be. No call for a sententia in any trial ever held in Nova Roma under the lex Salicia has ever included this. There is no basis for it in ancient Roman law: on the contrary, the Roman formulary procedure on which the Salician procedure is very closely based did not permit the presiding magistrate to do this. The active involvement of the presiding magistrate essentially ceased with the issue of the formula, which contained all the magistrate's instructions to the judex.
>
> For the presiding magistrate to tell the judex what verdict to deliver totally undermines the whole design of the Salician procedure, in which the presiding magistrate's role is to formulate the issues to be tried and the role of the judex is to answer the questions the presiding magistrate has set out in the formula. This division of roles is plainly evident from the text of the lex Salicia itself and is strongly supported by the very close similarity of that procedure to the ancient Roman formulary system, in which the division of roles was the same.
>
> Moreover, even if the presiding magistrate had any lawful power to instruct or advise the judex what verdict to deliver, it would be unfair for him to do so because it would heavily influence the mind of the judex and effectively compromise the ability of the judex to make an independent and objective decision. The system is such that the judex or judices in a trial are selected at random from among the general population. The judex is clearly neither required nor intended to be legally qualified or in any way expert in legal matters. The judex is not required to be a magistrate, and even if he happens to be a magistrate this has no bearing on his role in the trial: his role is to be a private citizen making a decision based on common sense and not on legal expertise. The presiding magistrate, on the other hand, is a magistrate with imperium and has specific powers relating to the interpretation of law and the administration of justice. It would be extremely difficult for a judex to avoid being influenced, consciously or unconsciously, by an explicit recommendation or instruction from the presiding magistrate to deliver one verdict or the other. This would compromise the whole position of the judex as an objective decision-maker. Even if the judex were able to resist being unduly influenced by the call for a sententia, the public would be unable to be confident that he had done so, and therefore any sententia he did deliver, if it were the same as the one recommended by the presiding magistrate, would not be seen by the public as fair and independent, and the outcome of the trial would be perceived as unjust. It is therefore unfair and contrary to the spirit and intent and general principles of the law for a presiding magistrate in a trial under the Salician system to instruct or advise the judex on what sententia to deliver.
>
> Further, it is extremely unfair in this specific case because the parties had no warning or notice that the presiding magistrate would seek to give such instructions. As I have said above, nothing in the law of Nova Roma, ancient Roman law, or the examples of previous trials in Nova Roma gave the parties any reason at all to think that the presiding magistrate could or would do this, and he never at any stage gave any indication that he himself intended to do it or considered that he had the power to do it. The parties have throughout the trial addressed their arguments and questions to the judex, believing that the judex would be making his decision alone. If the parties had known that the presiding magistrate would take this step, they would very probably have conducted their cases differently. They have therefore both been treated unfairly, in particular the accused who is disadvantaged by this unforeseen and unforeseeable action.
>
> Further, the presiding magistrate bases his call for a verdict of condemnation upon false or mistaken presmises. He says that Q. Metellus has argued that 'the violation, by Hortensia, of the laws of Nova Roma would result first of the fact that her moderation decisions have been vetoed, and second that she would have refused to obey these vetos', and it is on this basis that he concludes that Q. Metellus has successfully argued his case. Metellus, however, has not put forward this argument. It is perfectly clear from his statements during the course of the trial that he regarded the vetoes purely as evidence that M. Hortensia must have known that what she was doing was illegal because she had done similar things before and they had been vetoed. At no stage did he say that she had refused to obey a veto, nor did he ever argue that her refusal to obey a veto was itself an offence of abusus potestatis. On the contrary, he made it perfectly clear that the sole and single allegation on which his case rested was that M. Hortensia placed C. Equitius on moderation by her second edictum of 6 June when she had no lawful power to do so and knowing that she had no lawful power to do so.
>
> Therefore by adopting this argument that was never advanced by Metellus himself during the trial, either the presiding magistrate has demonstrated a very grave misunderstanding of the whole basis of the prosecution, in which case his call for a sententia should be vetoed as being fundamentally flawed in its legal reasoning, or else the presiding magistrate has deliberately reformulated the prosecution case in a way that differs from the prosecutor's own argument, in which case he is effectively prosecuting the case himself in contravention of his neutral role in proceedings, and has also introduced new arguments without giving the defence any opportunity to reply to them. In either case the presiding magistrate has by this action utterly compromised the fairness of the trial and his own role in it.
>
> What is more, the presiding magistrate, in his explanation of his reasons for calling for condemnation, shows that he takes a fundamentally different view of the definition of the offence from the view that was agreed between the parties at trial and was accepted by the judex T. Julius. Q. Metellus in his opening remarks made it apparent that he did not ask the judex to find M. Hortensia guilty of the offence unless she had a culpable state of mind in doing what she did. One of his remarks seemed to indicate that, as far as he was concerned, she was guilty if she knew what she was doing was illegal *or* if she acted without caring whether it was illegal or not; another remark seemed to say that she was guilty only if she actually knew it was illegal. He was asked to clarify this beyond doubt and made it clear that he said she was guilty only if she knew it was illegal. The defence made it plain and explicit to the judex that they accepted and supported this view, and that M. Hortensia was not guilty of the offence unless she had done something she knew or believed to be illegal. The defence also explicitly asked the judex to say if he did not accept this definition, in order that further arguments could be put forward to support it. The judex did not say so. The request was later repeated privately to the judex, and the judex replied that there was no need to say any more about it. Therefore not only both parties but also, by clear and necessary implication, the judex himself agreed on this definition of the offence. The presiding magistrate in his call for a sententia plainly rejects it, basing his whole reasoning on whether M. Hortensia's actions were 'logical', 'reasonable', and explaining her actions by reference to 'the will that Hortensia had at this time that G. Equitius Cato be sanctioned, whatever the legality of such sanctions': in other words, he concludes that she acted without caring whether what she did was illegal or not, but he does not conclude that she knew she was acting illegally.

Subject: 14 JULY
Cato omnibus in foro SPD

I would like to wish our citizens in Gallia a very Happy Bastille Day!

"On the morning of 14 July 1789, the city of Paris was in a state of alarm. The demonstrators had earlier stormed the Hôtel des Invalides to gather arms (29,000 to 32,000 muskets, but without powder or shot), and were mainly seeking to acquire the large quantities of arms and ammunition stored at the Bastille. On the 14th there were over 13,600 kilograms (30,000 lb) of gunpowder stored there.
French etching from 1789 depicting the storming of the Bastille.

At this point, the Bastille was nearly empty of prisoners, housing only seven inmates: four forgers, two "lunatics" and one "deviant" aristocrat, the comte de Solages (the Marquis de Sade had been transferred out ten days earlier). The cost of maintaining a medieval fortress and garrison for so limited a purpose had led to a decision being taken to close it, shortly before the disturbances began. It was, however, a symbol of royal tyranny.

The regular garrison consisted of 82 invalides (veteran soldiers no longer suitable for service in the field). It had however been reinforced on 7 July by 32 grenadiers of the Swiss Salis-Samade Regiment from the troops on the Champ de Mars. The walls mounted eighteen eight-pound guns and twelve smaller pieces. The governor was Bernard-René de Launay, son of the previous governor and actually born within the Bastille.

The list of vainqueurs de la Bastille has around 600 names, and the total of the crowd was probably less than one thousand. The crowd gathered outside around mid-morning, calling for the surrender of the prison, the removal of the guns and the release of the arms and gunpowder. Two representatives of the crowd outside were invited into the fortress and negotiations began, and another was admitted around noon with definite demands. The negotiations dragged on while the crowd grew and became impatient. Around 13:30 the crowd surged into the undefended outer courtyard, and the chains on the drawbridge to the inner courtyard were cut, crushing one unfortunate vainqueur. About this time gunfire began, though some stories state that the Governor had a cannon fire into the crowd killing several women, children, and men turning the crowd into a mob. The crowd seemed to have felt it had been drawn into a trap and the fighting became more violent and intense, while attempts by deputies to organize a cease-fire were ignored by the attackers.

The firing continued, and at 15:00 the attackers were reinforced by mutinous gardes françaises and other deserters from among the regular troops, along with two cannons. A substantial force of Royal Army troops encamped on the nearby Champs de Mars did not intervene. With the possibility of a mutual massacre suddenly apparent Governor de Launay ordered a cease fire at 17:00. A letter offering his terms was handed out to the besiegers through a gap in the inner gate. His demands were refused, but de Launay nonetheless capitulated, as he realized that his troops could not hold out much longer; he opened the gates to the inner courtyard, and the vainqueurs swept in to liberate the fortress at 17:30.

Ninety-eight attackers and one defender had died in the actual fighting. De Launay was seized and dragged towards the Hôtel de Ville in a storm of abuse. Outside the Hôtel a discussion as to his fate began. The badly beaten de Launay shouted "Enough! Let me die!" and kicked a pastry cook named Dulait in the groin. De Launay was then stabbed repeatedly and fell, and his head was sawed off and fixed on a pike to be carried through the streets. The three officers of the permanent Bastille garrison were also killed by the crowd; surviving police reports detail their wounds and clothing. Two of the invalides of the garrison were lynched, but all but two of the Swiss regulars of the Salis-Samade Regiment were protected by the French Guards and eventually released to return to their regiment. Their officer, Lieutenant Louis de Flue, wrote a detailed report on the defense of the Bastille which was incorporated in the logbook of the Salis-Samade and has survived. It is (perhaps unfairly) critical of the dead Marquis de Launay, whom de Flue accuses of weak and indecisive leadership. The blame for the fall of the Bastille would rather appear to lay with the inertia of the commanders of the substantial force of Royal Army troops encamped on the Champs de Mars, who made no effort to intervene when the nearby Hôtel des Invalides or the Bastille were attacked." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastille_Day


"A person came in and announced the taking of the Bastille, the governor of which is beheaded, and a crowd carries his head in triumph through the city. Yesterday it was the fashion at Versailles not to believe there were any disturbances in Paris. I presume that this day's transactions will induce a conviction that not all is perfectly quiet." - Governor Morris, "A Diary of The French Revolution" p. 149

On the 14th there were over 13,600 kilograms (30,000 lb) of gunpowder stored there.
French etching from 1789 depicting the storming of the Bastille.

At this point, the Bastille was nearly empty of prisoners, housing only seven inmates: four forgers, two "lunatics" and one "deviant" aristocrat, the comte de Solages (the Marquis de Sade had been transferred out ten days earlier). The cost of maintaining a medieval fortress and garrison for so limited a purpose had led to a decision being taken to close it, shortly before the disturbances began. It was, however, a symbol of royal tyranny.

The regular garrison consisted of 82 invalides (veteran soldiers no longer suitable for service in the field). It had however been reinforced on 7 July by 32 grenadiers of the Swiss Salis-Samade Regiment from the troops on the Champ de Mars. The walls mounted eighteen eight-pound guns and twelve smaller pieces. The governor was Bernard-René de Launay, son of the previous governor and actually born within the Bastille.

The list of vainqueurs de la Bastille has around 600 names, and the total of the crowd was probably less than one thousand. The crowd gathered outside around mid-morning, calling for the surrender of the prison, the removal of the guns and the release of the arms and gunpowder. Two representatives of the crowd outside were invited into the fortress and negotiations began, and another was admitted around noon with definite demands. The negotiations dragged on while the crowd grew and became impatient. Around 13:30 the crowd surged into the undefended outer courtyard, and the chains on the drawbridge to the inner courtyard were cut, crushing one unfortunate vainqueur. About this time gunfire began, though some stories state that the Governor had a cannon fire into the crowd killing several women, children, and men turning the crowd into a mob. The crowd seemed to have felt it had been drawn into a trap and the fighting became more violent and intense,
while attempts by deputies to organize a cease-fire were ignored by the attackers.

The firing continued, and at 15:00 the attackers were reinforced by mutinous gardes françaises and other deserters from among the regular troops, along with two cannons. A substantial force of Royal Army troops encamped on the nearby Champs de Mars did not intervene. With the possibility of a mutual massacre suddenly apparent Governor de Launay ordered a cease fire at 17:00. A letter offering his terms was handed out to the besiegers through a gap in the inner gate. His demands were refused, but de Launay nonetheless capitulated, as he realized that his troops could not hold out much longer; he opened the gates to the inner courtyard, and the vainqueurs swept in to liberate the fortress at 17:30.

Ninety-eight attackers and one defender had died in the actual fighting. De Launay was seized and dragged towards the Hôtel de Ville in a storm of abuse. Outside the Hôtel a discussion as to his fate began. The badly beaten de Launay shouted "Enough! Let me die!" and kicked a pastry cook named Dulait in the groin. De Launay was then stabbed repeatedly and fell, and his head was sawed off and fixed on a pike to be carried through the streets. The three officers of the permanent Bastille garrison were also killed by the crowd; surviving police reports detail their wounds and clothing. Two of the invalides of the garrison were lynched, but all but two of the Swiss regulars of the Salis-Samade Regiment were protected by the French Guards and eventually released to return to their regiment. Their officer, Lieutenant Louis de Flue, wrote a detailed report on the defense of the Bastille which was incorporated in the logbook of the Salis-Samade and has
survived. It is (perhaps unfairly) critical of the dead Marquis de Launay, whom de Flue accuses of weak and indecisive leadership. The blame for the fall of the Bastille would rather appear to lay with the inertia of the commanders of the substantial force of Royal Army troops encamped on the Champs de Mars, who made no effort to intervene when the nearby Hôtel des Invalides or the Bastille were attacked." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastille_Day

"A person came in and announced the taking of the Bastille, the governor of which is beheaded, and a crowd carries his head in triumph through the city. Yesterday it was the fashion at Versailles not to believe there were any disturbances in Paris. I presume that this day's transactions will induce a conviction that not all is perfectly quiet." - Governor Morris, "A Diary of The French Revolution" p. 149

Ocella Sullae sal,

With respect, sir, I would humbly like to ask you a simple question - when you said to Dexter, "I would think that it would be obvious," were you referring to the fact that it might be obvious that a Jewish holiday would be commemorating the destruction of the Jewish Temple and not the destruction of the temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus (as was suggested by Dexter)?

This was how I interpreted your post - not that you expect everyone to know which Jewish holidays fall on which days. The Ninth of Av had already been established as a Jewish holiday earlier in the discussion, and so, when Cato elaborated that it was a commemoration of the destruction of the Temple, I myself assumed it was the Jewish Temple, not a temple to a Roman god.

Vale,
Cn. Livia Ocella

Do you mean ancient Roman rules, amice? If so, I'd be most grateful if you could tell me which primary or secondary source says this. It is useful and important to clarify such things for the future.

Ave,

I would be happy to clarify it.

Tish B'Av is Hebrew term - it specifically means the 9th day of the Month of
Av.

It has no connection whatsoever in regards to the destruction of the Temple
of IOM - if it did -then it Piscinus or Dexter would have referred to it in
terms related to the Latin Calendar - not cross mixing religions and
calendars as it would make very little sense given that the Jewish calendar
is on the lunar model and as far as I know did not go through any
modification that the Roman calendars were prone to experience from time to
time.

Tish B'Av is one of the saddest days in Judaism and it refers to many sad
events that befell the Jewish People on or around that day. Specifically,

The returning of the 12 spies sent to the Promised Land - 10 of the spies
reported that the land of Canaan could not be conquered only Joshua and
Caleb argued that the Israelites would be victorious. Hashem's punishment
for the Israelites failure to find faith resulted in the 40 years of
wandering in the wilderness.

Destruction of King Solomon's Temple by the Babylonians

Destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans in 70 ce

End and defeat of Bar Kochba's revolt around 135 ce

Expulsion of the Jews from England in 1290

Expulsion of the Jews from Span/Portugal in 1492

If I recall correctly, Jews were sent to Treblinka Concentration camp
beginning on the day before Tish B'Av in 1942.

To sum up, using the very phrase Tish B'Av refers to the Jews, not to any
other group of people. I hope I answered your inquiry.

Respectfully,

Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix

Subject: Re: ante diem IIII Eidus Quinctiliae
Salve,

Gratias tibi ago. You have answered my question perfectly (and taught me something interesting in the process). I am still confused as to why you were asked which holidays from other religions show up on your own calendar as it seems slightly unrelated - perhaps the significance and date of Tish B'Av was not obvious to all, but I dare say that it is obvious to many that a Jewish holiday/ day of mourning is more likely to having something to do with the Jewish Temple than a temple to Jupiter Optimus Maximus - but I step back from involvement and even simple inquiry into what seems to be a larger, more personal dispute. Perhaps I am being a bit funny about words and phrasing, but it's always good to understand what someone is trying to say in order to follow a discussion properly.

Thank you again for your explanation.

Optime vale,

I was a bit alarmed and wondering what the matter was with your son. I'm
glad he is better.

SALVE ET SALVETE!

Thank you including my son in prayers.

Now he is back home and safe. One must pay attention using very cold
beverages and too much ice cream during the hot weather. I didn’t know until
now that is possible as the excessive usage of these can result in surgery.
My son was fortunate, the penicillin treatment had very good results and the
surgery was avoided. I was really scared.

Congratulations to the ludi organizers for their fine dedication.

VALE,
T. Iulius Sabinus

Salve Q. Fabi Sanga,
don't worry, the Senate is not buying a Pepsi from your 2$. In fact, they
are not buying anything. There is a current in the senate that thinks money
should be just kept there, and never spent, so it's very hard to get any
expense approved. Your 2$, along with my 6$ and other people's taxes, may
have a chance to be spent in order to get a state of the art website,
citizen database and voting software. Let's hope this one expense will get
approved, sooner or later.

Optime vale,

Salve

i've been a member for almost 3 years now. i am assidui,. i tried to be
active
a few times, but i must say like most people i was disappointed. In 3 years
i
have not seen nova roma grow one bit. i wrote a while ago to the then
consul
that in my opinion, any such endeavor to grow, it needed money ad we should
be
more active in that direction than any other. I currently live in Lebanon,
my
yearly tax is about 2 US$. it costs 25$ just to transfer the 2$. i was and
still
am interested to know what our senate is doing with my 2$. buying a Pepsi i
guess since it can't be used for anything other than that.
i believe we need to reorganize the way we work or this thing called Nova

will remain a dream on an internet site.

Cn. Cornelius Lentulus Q. Fabio Sangae s. d.

You wrote some time ago, Q. Fabi Sanga:

>>>

Not about Nova Roma. <<<<

And I fully agree with you. Our forum is misused, sometimes, abused, but in
any
case, very often not used correctly by our most vocal citizens.

I think it is a very serious problem damaging our attempts to involve new
people
into our central community forum's life, that lots of messages of little or
no
relevance, or of little or no weight are also flooding the this Main List,
which
makes participation harder for people with heavier, busier job or with less
free
time. The more "serious" one's job or other obligations are, the less
tolerant
they become with futile quarrels and irrelevant chatting. One expects the ML
to
be our official public communication forum where the most important and most
serious discussions are conducted. I think people are right to be
disappointed
if it's not what they find there.

Let's suppose and let's accept that to know "how to behave like a
Roman" or to know Roman history, sociology, religion and culture requires a
huge experience and knowledge. We can accept that the more experienced
people we search, the less we find. There are a thousands of amateurs,
a couple of half-experts, and just a very few brilliant individuals.
Ideally, those more experienced and more knowledgeable should fill this
list with their posts, and within a few year this ML would become a
treasure to people who want to know how to behave as New Romans. But these
educated and learned men and women, scholars, students, academics, experts
and
autodidact geniuses will not post frequently,
especially not *more* frequently than the rest of the citizens. Firstly,
because the more "knowledgeable" and experienced in Roman things one is,
the less time she or he has for writing and reading hunderds list e-mails
(probably he teaches, studies, works
on scholarly projects etc), secondly, they are few in number.

This is, among many, many other things, why strong moderation is needed
which
could make some priorities in this forum and that could make this forum a
friendly environment for intelligent, learned and educated people, for the
ones
like Gualterus, Cordus, Avitus or Scholastica, who are almost always polite
and
Roman, productive and valuable, but I think most of them abbhors from the
chaos
and barbarism which is often allowed here, that unproductive virtual
gladiatorial arena which was supposed to serve as a solemn official forum of
Nova Roma.

Vale!

Subject: Re: ante diem IIII Eidus Quinctiliae
Ave,

I am glad I was able to help :)

Just a bit of additional history, Tish B'Av is the climax of the mourning
period that actually began roughly 3 weeks previously, known as the fast of
the 17th of Tammuz, which commemorates the first breach in the walls of the
City of Jerusalem during the time of the 1st Temple.

During this three week period Jews do not listen to music, no weddings or
parties, no haircuts, no sexual activity, and no wearing new clothing. I
think that covers most of it. Then on the Tish b'Av we fast.

Ok now to your other question, you will need to direct those to Dexter and
Messalina. I have my own thoughts as to why they asked it, but it would not
be right to speculate. And, I do concur with your conclusion otherwise.

Respectfully,

Sulla

But getting the final approval for the appointment eheu what a long business. We have the money all contributed by our citizens they deserve to have it spent on them.

Subject: Re: R: [Nova-Roma] Too Many Mails
Ocella Maiori sal,

Access to JSTOR for every tax-paying citizen sounds lovely! It is an excellent resource and I would be more than happy for my taxes to be put towards that, even though I already have access to it through my university.

So you see, Sanga, if this goes through, your two dollars will be contributing to an excellent cause!

Valete optime,
Livia Ocella

Subject: Re: R: [Nova-Roma] Too Many Mails
I guess i was misunderstood. what i meant was there is not much you can do with
the money we contribute, and we need to raise either the tax rate or find a new
way to raise funds. If JSTOR is needed fine how long did it take to raise the
money for that, 3 years? when is the next projected to be completed 2025?

Thank you very much.

In Paris we had rain during the official ceremony in the Champs Elysées.

But the night before the Bastille day, we had the very famous "bal des pompiers" through all the towns of the country in the firemen's barracks. As usual a successful event.
"Firemen are so cute!"... according to my best girl friend. ;o)

And also there were fireworks displays.

Salvete,
I thought for five seconds we could discuss an actual non squabble issue. I am moving from New Mexico to San Fransisco or L.A. (we haven't decided yet) in either October or February. The definition of Lares and Pentantes changes so much in every source I read. Some say the Lares protects the family and thus would move with me, some say the same about the Penates. Some say the Penates guards a home and will stay behind while the Lares will go along. And still others say the Lares stays to guard the home and I will inherit new ones. My question is two part and is as follows: 1. Which of the above is it, will I keep the same Lares or get new ones? and 2. What rituals are proper for both thanking the deities of my previous home and introducing myself to the new ones?

Salve Nero;
here's a bit of help from history: Aeneas took his penates with him from Troy. And remember the Lares of the crossroads.

Penates go; lares are bound to the place. Even if you just moved across town your lares would remain with the property.

The smoke from the sacrifice went toward me and kept going in my direction, obstructing further ritual and pronouncing the prayers.

Subject: KALENDAE QUINCTILIAE: Lake Regillus; Temple of Castor & Pollox
M. Moravius Piscinus Quiritibus, cultoribus Deorum et omnibus salutem plurimam dicit: Diis bene iuvantibus sitis.

Hodie est Eidus Quinctiliae; haec dies nefastus piaculum Merkatus est: Transvectio Equitium; Castor et Castoris; Procyon exoritur mane, tempestatem significat.

Feriae Auxillarum

In conjunction with the auxillarum feriae on the Nonae Caprotiae, and for that reason, it became tradition to present a toga praetexta to an auxilla on the Ides of Quintilis. By this act the slave girl was given her freedom, and thereby given Roman citizenship as well.


AUC 254 / 499 BCE: The Battle of Lake Regillus

"The Latin war which had been threatening for some years now at last broke out. A. Postumius, the Dictator, and T. Aebutius, Master of the Horse, advanced with a large force of infantry and cavalry to the Lake Regillus in the district of Tusculum and came upon the main army of the enemy. On hearing that the Tarquins were in the army of the Latins, the passions of the Romans were so roused that they determined to engage at once. The battle that followed was more obstinately and desperately fought than any previous ones had been. For the commanders not only took their part in directing the action, they fought personally against each other, and hardly one of the leaders in either army, with the exception of the Roman Dictator, left the field unwounded. Tarquinius Superbus, though now enfeebled by age, spurred his horse against Postumius, who in the front of the line was addressing and forming his men. He was struck in the side and carried off by a body of his followers into a place of safety. Similarly on the other wing Aebutius, Master of the Horse, directed his attack against Octavius Mamilius; the Tusculan leader saw him coming and rode at him full speed. So terrific was the shock that Aebutius' arm was pierced, Mamilius was speared in the breast, and led off by the Latins into their second line. Aebutius, unable to hold a weapon with his wounded arm, retired from the fighting. The Latin leader, in no way deterred by his wound, infused fresh energy into the combat, for, seeing that his own men were wavering, he called up the cohort of Roman exiles, who were led by Lucius Tarquinius. The loss of country and fortune made them fight all the more desperately; for a short time they restored the battle, and the Romans who were opposed to them began to give ground.

"M. Valerius, the brother of Publicola, catching sight of the fiery young Tarquin conspicuous in the front line, dug spurs into his horse and made for him with levelled lance, eager to enhance the pride of his house, that the family who boasted of having expelled the Tarquins might have the glory of killing them. Tarquin evaded his foe by retiring behind his men. Valerius, riding headlong into the ranks of the exiles, was run through by a spear from behind. This did not check the horse's speed, and the Roman sank dying to the ground, his arms falling upon him. When the Dictator Postumius saw that one of his principal officers had fallen, and that the exiles were rushing on furiously in a compact mass whilst his men were shaken and giving ground, he ordered his own cohort - a picked force who formed his bodyguard - to treat any of their own side whom they saw in flight as enemy. Threatened in front and rear the Romans turned and faced the foe, and closed their ranks. The Dictator's cohort, fresh in mind and body, now came into action and attacked the exhausted exiles with great slaughter. Another single combat between the leaders took place; the Latin commander saw the cohort of exiles almost hemmed in by the Roman Dictator, and hurried to the front with some maniples of the reserves. T. Herminius saw them coming, and recognized Mamilius by his dress and arms. He attacked the enemies' commander much more fiercely than the Master of the Horse had previously done, so much so, in fact, that he killed him by a single spear-thrust through his side. Whilst despoiling the body he himself was struck by a javelin, and after being carried back to the camp, expired whilst his wound was being dressed. Then the Dictator hurried up to the cavalry and appealed to them to relieve the infantry, who were worn out with the struggle, by dismounting and fighting on foot. They obeyed, leaped from their horses, rushed forward, and, using their shields, protected the soldiers who fought in front of the standards. The infantry recovered their courage at once when they saw the flower of the nobility fighting on equal terms and sharing the same dangers with themselves. At last the Latins were forced back, wavered, and finally broke their ranks. The cavalry had their horses brought up that they might commence the pursuit, the infantry followed. It is said that the Dictator, omitting nothing that could secure divine or human aid, vowed, during the battle, a temple to Castor and promised rewards to those who should be the first and second to enter the enemies' camp. Such was the ardour which the Romans displayed that in the same charge which routed the enemy they carried their camp. Thus was the battle fought at Lake Regillus. The Dictator and the Master of the Horse returned in triumph to the City." ~ Titus Livius 2.19-20

AUC 257 / 496 BCE: Dedication of the Temple of Castor and Castoris, and the Tranvectio Equitum

The Battle of Lake Regillius was commemorated on its anniversary by the dedication of a Temple of Castor and Pollux by Postumius and by a procession of the three-hundred Equites pro equo populi in their unique trabea tunic of purple with scarlet stripes and a red toga, riding atop white horses. Both were attributed to having saved the Roman Republic at the battle.

"When Dictator A. Postumius and the Tusculan leader Mamilius Octavius clashed at Lake Regillus in great strength and for some time neither army gave ground, Castor and Pollux, appearing as champions of Rome, totally routed the enemy's forces." ~ Valerius Maximus 1.8.1a

Proof of the appearance of Castor at the battle was seen in "the mark upon the rock, resembling the print of a hoof, which is to be seen to this day at Regillus, was made by the horse of Castor (M. Tullius Cicero, De Natura Deorum 3.11)."

"Time destroys the figments of the imagination, while confirming the judgments of nature, and that is why both in our own nation and in others the worship of the gods and the holy observances of religion are increasing daily in extent and worthiness. Nor is this a casual or accidental result; there is, in the first place, this reason for it, that the gods frequently manifest their power in actual presence. At Regillus, for instance, in the war with the Latins, when Aulus Postumius, the dictator, was engaged in battle with Octavius Mamilius of Tusculum, Castor and Pollux were seen to fight in our lines on horseback, and within more recent memory the same sons of Tyndareus brought news of the defeat of Perseus. For Publius Vatinius, the grandfather of our young contemporary of that name, when coming to Rome by night from the prefecture of Reate, was told by two young men on white horses that Perseus had that day been taken captive. He carried the news to the senate, and was at first thrown into prison on the charge of having made an unfounded declaration on a matter of state importance; but afterwards, when a despatch sent by Paulus agreed in the same day, the senate granted him land and exemption from military service." ~ M. Tullius Cicero, De Natura Deorum 2.6

"It is said that in this battle two men on horseback, far excelling in both beauty and stature those our human stock produces, and just growing their first beard, appeared to Postumius, the dictator, and to those arrayed about him, and charged at the head of the Roman horse, striking with their spears all the Latins they encountered and driving them headlong before them. And after the flight of the Latins and the capture of their camp, the battle having come to an end in the late afternoon, two youths are said to have appeared in the same manner in the Roman Forum attired in military garb, very tall and beautiful and of the same age, themselves retaining on their countenances as having come from a battle, the look of combatants, and the horses they led being all in a sweat. And when they had each of them watered their horses and washed them at the fountain which rises near the temple of Vesta and forms a small but deep pool, and many people stood about them and inquired if they brought any news from the camp, they related how the battle had gone and that the Romans were the victors. And it is said that after they left the Forum they were not seen again by anyone, though great search was made for them by the man who had been left in command of the city ( as praefectus urbi). The next day, when those at the head of affairs received the letters from the dictator, and besides the other particulars of the battle, learned also of the appearance of the divinities, they concluded, as we may reasonably infer, that it was the same Gods who had appeared in both places, and were convinced that the apparitions had been those of Castor and Pollux.

"Of this extraordinary and wonderful appearance of these gods there are many monuments at Rome, not only the temple of Castor and Pollux which the city erected in the Forum at the place where their apparitions had been seen, and the adjacent fountain (of Juturna), which bears the names of these Gods and is to this day regarded as holy, but also the costly sacrifices which the people perform each year through their chief priests in the month called Quintilis, on the day known as the Ides, the day on which they gained this victory. But above all these things there is the procession performed after the sacrifice by those who have a public horse and who, being arrayed by tribes and centuries, ride in regular ranks on horseback, as if they came from battle, crowned with olive branches and attired in the purple robes with stripes of scarlet which they call trabeae. They begin their procession from a certain temple of Mars built outside the walls, and going through several parts of the city and the Forum, they pass by the temple of Castor and Pollux, sometimes to the number even of five thousand, wearing whatever rewards for valour in battle they have received from their commanders, a fine sight and worthy of the greatness of the Roman dominion. These are the things I have found both related and performed by the Romans in commemoration of the appearance of Castor and Pollux; and from these, as well as from many other important instances, one may judge how dear to the gods were the men of those times." ~ Dionysius of Halicarnassus 6.13

Cato Q. F. Sangae sal.

This is precisely the quandary of those of us in the Senate who wanted more time to review the proposal put before us regarding the website et al.

It is one thing to be given a chance to fully discuss exactly what we *need* versus what we *want*, and the idea that we should - almost casually - throw US$10,000 for some bells and whistles which are totally unnecessary *at this time* was felt by many - myself included - to be fiscally less than ideal.

Every single member of the Senate who opposed the proposal as set out on our agenda said the same thing, basically: let us consider what we actually need right now versus simply trying to get everything at once. We want to see options, and discuss those options. Ww felt we were not given that opportunity.

As custodians of the money the citizens have paid over the years, we felt that this is the most responsible way to move forward; no-one has underestimated the need for a better infrastructure.

Vale,

The main NR site seems to be down at present, but I will read Lentulus's article as it might help answer a question I have.

Now that I am clearing my parent's house, and my former childhood home, I have taken with me some ash from the fire in the belief that some household deities live in the fire ash and move with it.

Am I right? Is this Roman or something else?

I have placed the ash in one of my own fireplaces. Is this right too?

*A brief history by the victor: Roman portrayal of Etruscan influences*
by *Franks, MaryLee* <javascript:void(0);>, M.A., University of Kansas, 2008
, 55 pages; AAT 1453649
Abstract (Summary)

The extent of *Etruscan* influence on early Rome is nearly impossible to
determine because ancient authors have masked Rome's *Etruscan* heritage.
The primary written sources preserve a complex and often disguised account
of Rome's debt to Etruria but *Etruscan* origins are obscured to such a
degree that the arguments over the magnitude of *Etruscan* influence range
from claims that the influence is minor to advocacies for a wholesale Roman
import of *Etruscan* ideas and technology. Modern scholars have attempted to
add to the list present in the primary sources by using archaeological and
linguistic evidence but there is no consensus for an accepted set of *
Etruscan* borrowings.

By investigating the primary sources, I argue that the seemingly disordered
Roman treatment of *Etruscan* influences is not accidental and that the
complexity of the tradition illustrates the willingness of ancient authors
to remove all traces of *Etruscan* recognition from Roman rituals.

of ancient Italy*
by *Rupp, Wayne L., Jr.* <javascript:void(0);>, Ph.D., The Florida State
University, 2007 , 238 pages; AAT 3263910
Abstract (Summary)

This dissertation is an interdisciplinary examination of the human-animal
hybrid divinities of ancient Italy and how their iconography, mythic
narrative, and cult interrelate. The deities and demons collected in this
text are organized into chapters based on their animal characteristics
represented in both art and literature. These figures are imaged in
theriomorphic (wholly animal) or therianthropic (a combination of human and
animal anatomies or a human form wearing animal dress) forms in addition to
their anthropomorphic representations. The deities and demons included in
this study are Aesculapius, Charu(n), and the Genius Loci, who are depicted
with ophidian imagery, Aita, Faunus, Silvanus, and Apollo Soranus with
lupine imagery, Faunus (again), Pan, and Juno Sospita with caprid, the
Minotaur and Achelous along with a discussion of the possible representation
of Dionysos in taurine form, Picus and three unidentified divinities with
avian.

By examining these figures, one can see that previous scholarship concerning
the Greco-Roman acceptance of animal worship and the appraisal of these
figures as survivals of archaic religion needs revision. Other issues
addressed by this work include the *Etruscan* and Roman importation and
adoption of foreign gods, goddess and their mythic narratives, the mercurial
nature of pagan deities, the tie between animal imagery and chthonic or
liminal figures, the use of theriomorphic and therianthropic deities as
apotropaic devices, and the relationship between literary and archaeological
evidence. These problems are addressed by a close reading of literary
sources and visual analysis of artistic representations of theriomorphic and
therianthropic divinities.

*Archaeology and nationalism: The Trojan legend in Etruria*
by *Forte, Valeria* <javascript:void(0);>, M.A., The University of Texas at
Arlington, 2008 , 71 pages; AAT 1460697
Abstract (Summary)

National borders, continuously drawn and redrawn through history to
represent ever-changing political configurations, would be mere inconsistent
lines on geographical maps if they were not reinforced by national cohesive
beliefs and collective national interests. The fragmentation of the Soviet
Union and the emergence of new nations, the intense debate taking place in
Western Europe about federation on one hand and the retention of individual
national identity on the other, the request within the European Community to
expand membership to additional NATO countries while preserving regional
languages and cultural traditions, are all indicators of a renewed
generalized interest in the concept of nationalism and the process of
national identity formation. Within the process of national identity
formation some disciplines have played a crucial role in the establishment
and promotion of national unification and ethnic cohesion: archaeology is,
without any doubt, one of these disciplines.

In this study, the role of archaeology in relation to national identity
formation will be analyzed in one of the most debated archaeological
subjects in the western world, the case of *Etruscan* origins. This study
will demonstrate how through history the *Etruscan* legend has permeated the
political reality at many levels and how this legend of provenience has been
used to promote the formation of national identity and unified mythical
ethnic origins. The ultimate purpose of this study is to demonstrate that
what is accepted today as solid and objective cultural reality of the past
might have been fluid expressions opportunistically shaped and used through
time to promote both political and personal agendas.

by *Turner, Brian David* <javascript:void(0);>, M.A., Queen's University at
Kingston (Canada), 2005 , 139 pages; AAT MR05083
Abstract (Summary)

Modern historians of the Roman Empire often neglect the significance of the
*Etruscan* Caecina family from Volterra. This thesis, in an effort to
rectify that omission, examines the power and influence of the Caecinae
during the fall of the Roman Republic and the consolidation of the Roman
Empire, a period which encompasses over 150 years of history. The
examination of this family illuminates how an individual family reacted to
the process of Romanisation from being municipal Italian citizens to
becoming Roman citizens. Throughout the period under study the family, from
one generation to the next, displayed a constant Stoic philosophy, a way of
life which espoused tradition and order. The present work illustrates the
challenge of reconciling such conservative principles to those ethics of the
emerging Roman Empire. Such an ideology, more often than not, made the
Caecina an anathema to the Julio-Claudian emperors, not because of their
aversion to monarchy but on account of their hatred of tyranny. (Abstract

*Androgyny in Etruscan art and culture*
by *Sandhoff, Bridget K.* <javascript:void(0);>, Ph.D., The University of
Iowa, 2007 , 504 pages; AAT 3265984
Abstract (Summary)

In recent years, gender has become a significant construct in the
interpretation of the visual culture of ancient Mediterranean civilizations.
As part of the discourse, androgyny has comprised an important thread in the
scholarship. However, the geographical scope has been largely confined to
the Greeks and Romans, leaving a significant group out of the investigation:
the *Etruscans*. Despite the prominence of androgyny in Etruria, little
research has been conducted on the topic. Therefore, the aim of this
dissertation is to redress this imbalance by analyzing and interpreting
several examples of androgyny in *Etruscan* art.

While engraved bronze mirrors and Praenestine cistae comprise the largest
corpus with androgynous imagery, sexually ambivalent characters also
permeate small scale bronze sculptures. All the works display a great
variety of ambiguity ranging from slightly disruptive figures to extreme
interruptions of sex/gender. Most common is an athletic female form, which
flouts conventional gendered notions of the female body. This aspect of *
Etruscan* androgyny sets their society apart in that both sexes are
represented. Thus, *Etruscan* women play a pivotal role in the analysis.

Three theories have been formulated to explain the use of androgyny in
Etruria. The apotropaic suit hypothesis maintains the prophylactic strength
of androgyny. The ambiguous imagery may have served as a protective costume
for the owner, defending her during critical moments such as marriage,
childbirth, and death. The symbolic representation follows a similar line of
inquiry. Since boundaries were pivotal in *Etruscan* ideology, noteworthy
stages in life, again, become the focal point of this hypothesis. Here,
androgyny acts as a palpable indicator of transition.

The final theory examines an androgynous appearance as a fashion/ideal of
beauty. While Greece seems to be the impetus for male androgyny in Etruria,
the same cannot be said for female androgyny. Images of ambisexual females
may be the result of *Etruscan* women exercising or participating in
"sport." Another possibility is influence from the Spartans, whose focus on
eugenics and aesthetics corresponded well with *Etruscan* ideals. My general
conclusion is that the androgynous imagery is more than likely the result of
contemporary aesthetic notions, probably linked to Spartan models.

University, 2010 , 70 pages; AAT 1473068
Abstract (Summary)

The current trend of multi-religious observance can be traced to various
root sources. In particular, the advocacy of Christianity and another
religious tradition is particularly strong within Neo-Pagan circles. Through
historical investigation, as well as response to the writings of Dr. Gus
DiZerega, a prominent Neo-Pagan proponent, these connection will be made.

It will be posited that the core of modern neo-pagan belief and perhaps that
of modern Celtic Christianity are found in similar traditions. This study,
while not exhaustive is a beginning to a fruitful conversation between
Christians and Neo-Pagans. It also provides a bridge to see that there is
difference between the two.

University, Dominguez Hills, 2004 , 184 pages; AAT 1424638
Abstract (Summary)

*Loganamnosis * , a documentary screenplay, illustrates an image of ancient
Celtic consciousness as illuminated within bardic tradition. To articulate
an image of this consciousness, the literary legacy and archaeological
record of the ancient Welsh *Celts* is examined. The presentation of the
elements of Celtic culture culminate in the comprehension of the meaning of
a montage sequence, which postulates a Celtic creation myth as a union of
ancient principles and practices with modern methods of entertainment and
education. Rather than recounting a formalized clinical definition of Celtic
culture, the screenplay ultimately leaves the reader, or spectator, with an
impression of what it meant to live within a mythic minded, bardic society.
*Loganamnosis * elucidates how myth and tradition can enrich modern living
by helping individuals clarify self-definition as the film documents my
personal odyssey towards a reconciliation of self with ancestry.

by *McSweeney, F. James* <javascript:void(0);>, M.A., California State
University, Dominguez Hills, 2001 , 39 pages; AAT 1406740
Abstract (Summary)

Midway through the first century BC the expanding Roman Empire clashed with
the resident Celtic tribes over the control of Gaul. The subsequent conflict
culminated in the decisive battle known as the Siege of Alesia in which
Caesar destroyed the combined Gallic forces. This marked the end of Celtic
hegemony in Western Europe and led to Roman dominance of Gallic culture for
the next four hundred years. The Siege of Alesia illustrates the way in
which opposing interests can weaken cultures from within and render them
susceptible to conquest from without. This study will look at primary and
secondary sources concerning the *Celts*, the Roman Empire, and the Germanic
tribes bordering Gaul. Information will be presented in chapters concerning:
(1) the battle itself, (2) Celtic settlement in Gaul, (3) the antecedents of
Alesia, (4) political disunity, (5) results of the battle and conclusions.

by *Van Dusen, Rachel Esther* <javascript:void(0);>, Ph.D., State University
of New York at Buffalo, 2009 , 374 pages; AAT 3356089
Abstract (Summary)

This dissertation is a study of the social and political changes that took
place among the Pentrian *Samnites* in the Central Apennines of Italy. One
of the larger questions which this project seeks to address is how the
Pentrians emerged as a people and how they evolved socially and politically
over time. For this reason, the chronological scope stretches from the late
Bronze Age to the early first century B.C. The dissertation, which is
divided into nine major chapters, is intended to act as a complement to Togo
Salmon's * Samnium and the Samnites * (1967) which was the first attempt to
study the *Samnites* in a systematic way. This dissertation also
incorporates many of the ideas coming out of the reinterpretations of
traditional Romanization and Hellenization theories, which have, so far, not
been fully applied to the region of Samnium. One of the major conclusions
made in this study is that the Pentrian elite class was very long-lived and
highly adaptable to the changes taking place in Italy between the fourth and
first centuries B.C. In addition, it has been determined that Roman policy
towards Pentrian Samnium in the period following the *Samnite* Wars was
relatively mild despite statements made by both ancient and the modern
scholars to the contrary. Ultimately, this study, which has brought together
some of the most important archaeological research conducted in the region
of Pentrian Samnium in the last forty years, has moved our knowledge of the
*Samnites* forward and revealed a new, more progressive, picture of life
among this proud group of people.

Auvergne*
by *Jones, Stephen Doniphin* <javascript:void(0);>, Ph.D., State University
of New York at Albany, 2000 , 833 pages; AAT 9992723
Abstract (Summary)

This dissertation proposes a model of subsistence, land use, and society for
the Arverni, a powerful people in the Auvergne region of central France
during the late Iron Age or "La Tène" ( c .450-50 BC). The data derives from
10 years of field and bibliographic research, and especially a new
GIS-connected database of all sites registered in the region's archives. The
goal is to counter pervasive models grounded on the stereotypical comments
of Mediterranean enemies rather than archaeological evidence.

My ecological approach reconciles the diversity of human societies and
ecosystems, on the one hand, with the limited repertory of human behavior
and the logical processes that limit it. This involves an interplay of
so-called "induction" and "deduction" counter to traditional processual
dogma. Traditional functionalism--the presumption of functional efficacy--is
evaded by focusing on logistical likelihood linked with observed
ethnographic tendencies, set out in a "null hypothesis" of how agropastoral
societies would behave in temperate environments without demand for surplus;
this notes necessary, likely, and convenient norms that may be assumed
unless forces counter to the hypothesis are at work.

After an overview of theories and archaeology of La Tène Europe, I explore
ancient and modern models of the Arverni polity. Arverni evidence is then
presented within a Stewardian framework of land use, modes of production,
and socio-economic organization, and site details are discussed in the
context of settlement clusters. The resulting model posits a polity of low
density with cultural controls on political and economic stratification. The
self-sufficient settlements were separated by a half kilometer or more, with
few signs of substantial specialization and no signs of centralization.
Foreign trade items were well distributed through feasting. This may have
led to some degree of centralization, hinted by the abandonment of some
sites, but there is no positive evidence of the proto-urban "oppida" that
have been alleged for much of late La Tène Europe.

Restricting one's view to the evidence, the domineering aristocratic empire
attributed to the Arverni seems to have been a much more flexible,
small-scale, egalitarian polity.

*
by *Wilson, Mary Lynn* <javascript:void(0);>, Ph.D., University of
California, Los Angeles, 1999 , 373 pages; AAT 9943780
Abstract (Summary)

Due to the scarcity of individual sources, the best approach to the
questions of the origin and functions of female figures in pre-Christian
Germanic is to use interdisciplinary sources. This approach helps fill in
the gaps left when only one or two lines of inquiry are used.

When female figures of Germanic myth and folklore are examined and compared
with one another, similar patterns of characteristics and functions appear.
One of the most prevalent functions of these figures is related to death and
the dead. Almost all of the figures seem to have some connection with death.
Many of these figures can assume the shape of a bird or can fly through the
air. These bird-like figures often have a close association with death or
the dead.

Another important function of these figures is fertility and prosperity. The
same figure that has connections with death will often have connections with
fertility and prosperity. Several of these figures have functions relating
to protection and the ancestors. Some of these figures have the ability to
foretell the future. Some are associated with winter, and others are
associated with the sun.

At least three possibilities exist for the origin of these female figures.
They could be Indo-European, Old European, or influence from Celtic belief
Some of the aspects of these figures are clearly Old European and others are
clearly Indo-European. The *Celts* were influenced by the same cultures, and
their influence on the Germanic tribes only strengthened the influence of
Old European and Indo-European. cultures.

Subject: The appeal of Asklepios and the politics of healing in the Greco-Rom
*The appeal of Asklepios and the politics of healing in the Greco-Roman
world*
by *Wickkiser, Bronwen Lara* <javascript:void(0);>, Ph.D., The University of
Texas at Austin, 2003 , 361 pages; AAT 3116230
Abstract (Summary)

The cult of the Greek healing god Asklepios was one of the most popular
cults in all of antiquity. Over the course of a millennium beginning in the
5 th c. BC, sanctuaries of Asklepios spanned the Greco-Roman world and
attracted countless individuals in search of cures.

Scholars have long studied the cult in accordance with dichotomies like
rational vs. irrational and public vs. private. These dichotomies are not
only misleading when applied to Asklepios-cult, pitting it against
"rational" Greek medicine and placing it beyond the political interests of
the state, but have driven the cult into interpretive gridlock.
Consequently, fundamental questions about the cult's development remain
unanswered.

This study begins by exploring why the cult only arose in the 5 th c. BC
despite the fact that Asklepios had been known as a healer since Homer.
Adducing evidence from the Hippocratic corpus, I argue that developments in
Greek medicine were critical to the rise of the cult in the 5 th c. BC. As
Greek medicine began to define itself as a *techne * and to delimit its
boundaries by specifying the kinds of illnesses that it could and could not
treat, it generated a void in healing. The god Asklepios, whose mythology
portrayed him as a trained physician, was ideal for filling the void left by
mortal medicine.

Since translocal factors alone fail to explain the spread of Asklepios-cult,
this study next examines local factors that motivated Athens and Rome, two
of antiquity's best-documented cities, to import Asklepios. Analysis of the
placement of the cult within both the topography of Athens and the Athenian
civic calendar, indicates that Athens' immediate motivation for importing
Asklepios in 420 BC was not plague (as many have argued) but imperial
ambitions in the context of the Peloponnesian War.

Similarly, examination of ancient sources for the cult's importation to
Rome, as well as of the topography of the area surrounding Aesculapius'
sanctuary there, demonstrates that Rome imported Aesculapius ca. 291 BC not
because of a literal plague, but in response to a metaphorical plague
manifest in the *Samnite* Wars, Demetrios Poliorketes, and the
patrician-plebeian struggle.

by *Shelton, China P.* <javascript:void(0);>, Ph.D., Boston University, 2009

Abstract (Summary)

The Iron Age to the early Roman Empire (ca. 8th century B.C.--1st century
A.D.) was a period of dynamic social change in the central Apennine
Mountains of Italy, as it was on the entire peninsula. The *Samnites*, who
inhabited this area, put up protracted resistance to Roman hegemony. Most of
what has been known about *Samnite* lifeways, however, has come from
Classical literature and excavations of funerary and ritual sites. Little
direct evidence has been available regarding the character of
*Samnite*subsistence, and by extension the economy that supported
extensive
*Samnite* military activity. This dissertation presents paleoethnobotanical
evidence collected from excavations at the site of Acquachiara on Monte
Pallano undertaken by the Sangro Valley Project. Excavations of an
agricultural terrace dating from the 7th to the 5th century B.C. produced
plant remains resulting from domestic activity and consumption. These
remains are pertinent to reconstructing subsistence in the central Apennines
during the period when the *Samnite* social group coalesced. Plant remains
from a nearby farmhouse dating from the 1st to 2nd centuries A.D. were also
analyzed, but proved of only limited use in examining diachronic changes in
economy.

The plant assemblage from the 7th to the 5th century B.C. proved unusual in
the apparent importance for human culinary use of * Vicia ervilia * (bitter
vetch). It was also possible to demonstrate, via comparison with
paleoethnobotanical remains from approximately contemporary sites throughout
Italy, that consumption practices at Acquachiara simultaneously resemble
different traditions in central and southern Italy. Specifically,
Acquachiara shares a relatively high proportion of legumes with sites in
Southern Italy, but in the choice of emmer wheat over barley, Acquachiara is
more closely related to Rome. Additional evidence from classical commentary
and 20th-century anthropological studies demonstrates that the inhabitants
of Acquachiara shared in a long-term tradition of dependence on a diverse
and flexible mountain subsistence base that often included nontraditional
staple crops. The close theoretical relationship between food and social
differentiation leads to the conclusion that it was in part differences in
subsistence and environment that supported the construction and maintenance
of a powerful *Samnite* group identity.

================
Which was precisely why they were defeated.

Roman limited experience with horse archers came out the wars with Pontus
and Arminia in the 80s.
The legionaries discovered if they formed square and kept their shields up,
the arrows shot from the light bows did little damage, and as soon as the
horse archer's ran out of ammo, they left the field.

In 53 BC, Crassus went into the Parthian campaign with similar
expectations. They were false.

One. The Parthians were relatives of the Skythians. Their composite
recurve horse bow at 75 yards was a lot more powerful then the Roman realized.
Modern tests have proved Plutarch's descriptions, that it will go through
a Roman legionary shield.

Two. The Surenas (General) had studied Roman warfare, (he may have fought
against Lucallus years earlier) and he knew what the Romans would do.
He brought along trains of camels carrying baskets of arrows so his horse
archers could rearm.

So when the Romans formed their large hollow square and waited out the
arrow rain, it never stopped. The Romans finally realized they had to
retreat, the square broke up, and the legiones disintegrated. Ten thousand
escaped out of the 4,000 horse and 50,000 infantry (43,000 Roman)
Crassus and his son died. Most of the centurions died. Only six are
reported to have survived.
All the eagles were taken. It was a disaster.

Interestingly enough, Rome while upset by this defeat, was not too
disheartened. The Roman treasury had not spent a single ass on this invasion. It
was financed by Crassus and other private investors. And the lost of
manpower? A piffle. Rome's best army was still in Gaul.

Within the Northern Worldview, we are warded by the spirits of our

The Disir are our Mothers.

The Alfar (at least some of them) are our Fathers.

The Vaettir (Wights or Spirits) are of the House, Land, Wind, Water,

The Fylgia (Fetch) is an animal Spirit, which is associated with your

My Disir, Alfar and Fylgia have traveled with my all of my life, as

However, most of the Vaettir have been native to wherever I have
lived, and are uniquely tied to the Place.

I have little shrines to each around my yard, and in my home.

I have found that paying due respect and attention to all of them,
plus the Holy Powers, seems to add to one's good luck in life.

My advice, remember that there are those who are with you always, but
that there are those for whom your short human life makes you but a

Unfortunately all the work on the elections got delayed because of the
discussions about their validity.
Following the message posted by Agricola about the position of the Collegium
Augurum the diribitores have to restart the vote count, because some ballots
have to be counted which were previously discarded as invalid, and some have
to be discarded that were previously counted as valid.

It is unclear to me if after this operation is done the elections will be

M. Moravius Piscinus Quiritibus, cultoribus Deorum et omnibus salutem plurimam dicit: Invenietis omnia prospera evenisse sequentibus Deos, adversa spernentibus.

Hodie est ante diem XVII Kalendas Sextilias; haec dies fastus, Merkatus, aterque Alliensis est:

Merkatus

As with similar celebrations in the Roman calendar, the Ludi Apollinares were followed by several market days, which was itself a kind of festival for Mercurius in the form of a bazaar.


AUC 363 / 390 BCE: Origin of the Dies Ateri: Two Days Before the Roman Defeat on the River Allia

"The consular tribune Sulpicius had not offered acceptable sacrifices on July 16 (the day after the Ides), and without having secured the good will of the Gods the Roman army was exposed to the enemy two days later. Some think that it was for this reason that on the day after the Ides in each month all religious functions were ordered to be suspended, and hence it became the custom to observe the second and the middle days of the month in the same way." ~ Titus Livius 6.1.12


"To such an extent does Fortune blind men's eyes when She will not have Her threatened blows parried, that though such a weight of disaster was hanging over the State, no special steps were taken to avert it. In the wars against Fidenae and Veii and other neighboring States, a Dictator had on many occasions been nominated as a last resource. But now when an enemy, never seen or even heard of before, was rousing up war from ocean and the furthest corners of the world, no recourse was had to a Dictator, no extraordinary efforts were made. Those men through whose recklessness the war had been brought about were in supreme commands as military tribunes with consular powers, and the levy they raised was not larger than had been usual in ordinary campaigns, they even made light of the reports as to the seriousness of the war. Meanwhile the Gauls learnt that their embassy had been treated with contempt, and that honors had actually been conferred upon men who had violated the law of nations. Burning with rage - as a nation they cannot control their passions - they seized their standards and hurriedly set out on their march. At the sound of their tumult as they swept by, the affrighted cities flew to arms and the country folk took to flight. Horses and men, spread far and wide, covered an immense tract of country; wherever they went they made it understood by loud shouts that they were going to Rome. But though they were preceded by rumors and by messages from Clusium, and then from one town after another, it was the swiftness of their approach that created most alarm in Rome. An army hastily raised by a levy en masse marched out to meet them. The two forces met hardly eleven miles from Rome, at a spot where the Alia, flowing in a very deep channel from the Crustuminian mountains, joins the river Tiber a little below the road to Crustumerium. The whole country in front and around was now swarming with the enemy, who, being as a nation given to wild outbreaks, had by their hideous howls and discordant clamor filled everything with dreadful noise.

"The consular tribunes had secured no position for their camp, had constructed no entrenchments behind which to retire, and had shown as much disregard of the Gods as of the enemy, for they formed their order of battle without having obtained favorable auspices. They extended their line on either wing to prevent their being outflanked, but even so they could not make their front equal to the enemy's, whilst by thus thinning their line they weakened the centre so that it could hardly keep in touch. On their right was a small eminence which they decided to hold with reserves, and this disposition, though it was the beginning of the panic and flight, proved to be the only means of safety to the fugitives. For Brennus, the Gallic chieftain, fearing some ruse in the scanty numbers of the enemy, and thinking that the rising ground was occupied in order that the reserves might attack the flank and rear of the Gauls while their front was engaged with the legions, directed his attack upon the reserves, feeling quite certain that if he drove them from their position, his overwhelming numbers would give him an easy victory on the level ground. So not only Fortune but tactics also were on the side of the barbarians. In the other army there was nothing to remind one of Romans either amongst the generals or the private soldiers. They were terrified, and all they thought about was flight, and so utterly had they lost their heads that a far greater number fled to Veii, a hostile city, though the Tiber lay in their way, than by the direct road to Rome, to their wives and children. For a short time the reserves were protected by their position. In the rest of the army, no sooner was the battle-shout heard on their flank by those nearest to the reserves, and then by those at the other end of the line heard in their rear, than they fled, whole and unhurt, almost before they had seen their untried foe, without any attempt to fight or even to give back the battle-shout. None were slain while actually fighting; they were cut down from behind whilst hindering one another's flight in a confused, struggling mass. Along the bank of the Tiber, whither the whole of the left wing had fled, after throwing away their arms, there was great slaughter. Many who were unable to swim or were hampered by the weight of their cuirasses and other armour were sucked down by the current. The greater number, however, reached Veii in safety. Yet not only were no troops sent from there to defend the City, but not even was a messenger dispatched to report the defeat to Rome. All the men on the right wing, which had been stationed some distance from the river, and nearer to the foot of the hill, made for Rome and took refuge in the Citadel without even closing the City gates." ~ Titus Livius 5.37-38


Dies Ateri

"Verrius Flaccus, in the fourth book of his work De Verborum Significatu writes that the days immediately following the Kalends, Nones, and Ides, which the vulgar ignorantly declare to be nefastus, are properly called and considered ill-omened for this reason: When the City, he says, had been recovered from the Senonian Gauls, Lucius Atilius stated in the Senate that Quintus Sulpicius, tribune of the soldiers, when on the eve of fighting against the Gauls at the Allia, offered sacrifice in anticipation of the battle on the day after the Ides; that the army of the Roman people was thereupon cut to pieces, and three days later the whole City, except the Capital, was taken. Also many other senators said that they remembered that whenever with a view to waging war a magistrate of the Roman people had sacrificed on the day after the Kalends, Nones, or Ides, in the very next battle of the war the State had suffered a disaster. Then the Senate referred the matter to the pontifices, that they might take what action they saw fit. The pontifices decreed that no sacrifice would properly be made on those days." ~ Gellius, Noctes Atticae 5.17.1-2


"Why do they reckon the day that follows the Kalends, the Nones, or the Ides as unsuitable for leaving home or travel?

"Is it, as most authorities think and as Livy records, that on the day after the Ides of Quintilis, which they now call Julius, the military tribunes led out the army, and were vanquished in battle by the Gauls at the river Allia and lost the City? (18 July 390 BCE.) But when the day after the Ides had come to be regarded as ill-omened, did superstition, as is its wont, extend the custom further, and involve in the same circumspection the day after the Nones and the day after the Kalends as well?

"Or does this refer to many irrational assumptions? For it was on a different day that they were defeated in battle, a day which they call dies Alliensis from the river, and makes a dread day of expiation; and although they have many ill-omened days, they do not observe them under the same names in each month, but each in the month in which it occurs; and it is thus quite incredible that the superstition should have attached itself simply to all days that follow immediately after the Nones or the Kalends.

"Consider the following analogy. Just as they have dedicated the first month to the Gods of Olympus, and the second, in which they perform certain rites of purification and sacrifice to the departed, to the gods of the lower world, so also in regard to the days of the month they have establish three as festive and holy (Kalends, Nonse, and Idus), as I have stated, which are, as it were, fundamental and sovereign days, but the days which follow immediately they have dedicated to the spirits and the dead, and have come to regard them as ill-omened and unsuitable for business. In fact, the Greeks worship the Gods on the day of the New Moon (like the Kalends); the next day they have duly assigned to the heroes and spirits, and the second bowl of wine is mixed honor of the heroes and heroines. And speaking generally, time is a sort of number; and the beginning number is divine, for it is the Monad. But after it is the dyad, antagonistic to the beginning number, and the first of the even numbers. The even numbers are imperfect, incomplete, and indeterminate, just as the odd numbers are determinate, completing, and perfect. Wherefore in like manner, the Nones succeed the Kalends as an interval of five days and the Ides succeed the Nones at an interval of nine days. For the odd numbers define the beginnings, but the even numbers, since they occur after the beginnings, have no position nor power; therefore on these days they do not begin any business and travel." ~ Plutarch, Roman Question 25


AUC 536 / 217 BCE: Birth of Carneades

Carneades was a prominent leader of the skeptical school of Platonism, after Arcesilaus, and head of the Academy. Arcesilaus had argued against the Stoic epistemology of Zeno by showing the unreliability of our sense perceptions. The Stoic Chrysippus therefore refined his schools views. Carneades countered with a moderate cynicism that professed that our knowledge of things, at best, could only be based in plausibility and probability. While at Rome he demonstrated his school's methods by offering an eloquent argument for traditional views of justice one day, only to return on the following day to give an equally eloquent argument against the traditional views. The result only angered certain Romans, most notably Cato the Elder, and led to an expulsion of philosophers.

AUC 598 / 155 BCE: Carneades sent as an Athenian emissary to Rome

"[Cato] was now grown old, when Carneades the Academic, and Diogenes the Stoic, came as deputies from Athens to Rome, praying for release from a penalty of five hundred talents laid on the Athenians, in a suit, to which they did not appear, in which the Oropians were plaintiffs and Sicyonians judges. All the most studious youth immediately waited on these philosophers, and frequently, with admiration, heard them speak. But the gracefulness of Carneades' oratory, whose ability was really greatest, and his reputation equal to it, gathered large and favorable audiences, and ere long filled, like a wind, the entire city with the sound of it. So that it soon began to be told that a Greek, famous even to admiration, winning and carrying all before him, had impressed so strange a love upon the young men, that quitting all their pleasures and pastimes, they ran mad, as it were, after philosophy; which indeed much pleased the Romans in general; nor could they but with much pleasure see the youth receive so welcome the Greek literature, and frequent the company of learned men. But Cato, on the other side, seeing the passion for words flowing into the city, from the beginning took it ill, fearing lest the youth should be diverted that way, and so should prefer the glory of speaking well before that of arms and doing well. And when the fame of the philosophers increased in the city, and Caius Acilius, a person of distinction, at his own request, became their interpreter to the senate at their first audience, Cato resolved, under some specious pretence, to have all philosophers cleared out of the city; and, coming into the senate, blamed the magistrates for letting these deputies stay so long a time without being dispatched, though they were persons that could easily persuade the people to what they pleased; that therefore in all haste something should be determined about their petition, that so they might go home again to their own schools, and declaim to the Greek children, and leave the Roman youth to be obedient, as hitherto, to their own laws and governors." ~ Plutarch, Life of Cato

M. Moravius Magister Collegii Augurum Ti. Galerio Paulino et candidatibus omnibus s. p. d.

At the moment there are discrepencies between the counts made by the diribitores as usually happen. So a full recount is in the process. It delays things slightly.

Other issues to be resolved include which ballots to use and who to include as candidates. There is a misunderstanding that M. Hortensia is to be removed when the tribunal is not completed and its legality is being questioned. Statements made by Consul Albucius were of a general nature on what conviction would mean and that was misconstrued to mean a sentence was handed down already, when one has not. And then other candidates added to the election by Consul Albucius are in dispute, because it is still unclear whose auspices are to be considered for these elections.

Consul Quintilianus first asked for auspices on the elections held in the Comitia Populi. Later, with the resignations of our former praetrices, he asked for additional auspices to hold elections in the Comitia Centuriata. This is normal because there should always be separate auspices for separate comitia. the fact that they were taken at different times in this case has no bearing here. It was under his auspices that a centuria praerogativa was chosen, centuria XIV. Consul Albucius tried to overrule those auspices, which he is unable to do. Consul Quintilianus could have rejected the auspices as was his right since they were taken on his behalf, but only the Collegium Augurum could otherwise dismiss them, and then only if some fault was discovered. Centuria XIV as praerogativa falls under the auspices of Consul Quintilianus and may not be transferred to the auspices of any other magistrate. Period. This is why the responsum of the Augures to the proposal by Consul Quintilianus on a possible resolution requires that the vote recount be transferred back to his auspices. Then we could use centuria XIV.

It has been suggested that a new centuria praerogativa be chosen for the ballots already cast. No. Cannot be done. The centuria praerogativa is chosen by lot. It is a sortition and thereby a form of auspicium that has to be performed before the casting of ballots. The only reason to select another centuria praerogativa now would be to hold new elections.

Also in the responsum the Augures have stated that auspices must be taken on whether the proposed resolution is even acceptable. Auspices cannot be taken as yet because of the dies ateri for the next couple of days.

Consul Albucius has made a responsum to Consul Quintilianus' proposal. Apparently Albucius just does not understand what determinations were already made by the Collegium Augurum. His own tripudia have been determined vitiated. Any magistrates that would have been elected under those auspices would have to be regarded as in vitio creati and need to resign, forcing new elections anyway. No centuria praerogativa was chosen for elections under his auspices because his were vitiated and thus no valid election could exist. Further, the custodes and diribitores could not perform sortitions under vitiated auspices. It is ridiculous to think that this situation would change by keeping the election under Consul Albucius' vitiated auspices.

A centuria praerogativa is chosen by sortition by the diribitores. That requires that the Gods are invoked to make the selection. The custodes perform sortitions to break tie votes in centuriae, which also require that they invoke the Gods. But if the election was already vitiated because Albucius' auspices were vitiated, then one cannot reasonably expect the Gods to participate. The Gods are part of our civitas. They must participate in order to have valid elections - pure and simple.

However Consul Albucius has from the very start, early in his term, attempted to avoid the auspices, to go around the Collegium Augurum as though it is some inconvenience that no consules have found before him. And now he thinks he can overrule augural law and usurp once more what was performed under the auspices of another and placed under his own vitiated auspices. That is unacceptable, pure and simple.

A proposed resolution is on the table. It could be used, provided that the Gods first approve. But Consul Albucius needs to step aside to allow others to complete their parts. Albucius' interference and usupations have made an entire mess of our electoral process. Albucius has further endangered our fall elections in vetoing the Senate's discussion of dealing with our IT problems, as we need something done very soon to be ready for them, and there remains his bizzare method of tripudia that will again vitiate any elections if he used them.

In spite of all this, I am confident that our election officials and the augures will arrive at a resolution and praetores suffecti will be installed soon and it will be properly done under the guidence of the Gods.

It is being stated that one Consul conducted elections that may have had many errors and that the other Consul called elections but was not around to preside over them.



It is also being said that some of the candidates may not be allowed to be candidates after all the votes have been cast. Talk about ex post facto.

Unbelievable as it may seem, I agree with Galerius Paulinus. The impasse at which we find ourselves is simply too serious to allow to continue, and no amount of posturing by anyone - *anyone* - will serve any useful purpose.

My concern was - is still, actually - that the authority of the consuls to call the Senate and comitia be respected and preserved; and though we do not seem to have fully come to terms with *that* question, it does, after a great deal of consideration, seem to be fairly clear that as un-historic as parts of it are, our augural law is clear once the process of elections has begun.

Modianus is correct, as well, regarding the challenges we face with our internet infrastructure; I do not, however, think that we should rush to throw anything at our system merely to get it done. I am interested in seeing if anyone has any serious ideas regarding a system that would work within the framework of our peculiar voting procedures.

It *might* be best, at this point, to simply ask the Senate to appoint praetores suffecti, giving us breathing room until the elections at the end of the year.

I agree, and very much dislike the use of the SCU in general. But the "regular" law does give the Senate authority to appoint, I believe, and although things might be running fine de facto doesn't mean we should let these magistracies remain vacant. I'm at work so hard to look right now :)

<http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_n7RltmTdk-g/TD8ws1qMYrI/AAAAAAAAUXU/9KOfzf0-Rb8/s1600/Turkish+church+defaced.jpg>The
facade of a 1700-year old Syriac church in Turkey has been defaced with
Islamist graffiti<http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=syrian-orthodox-church-in-mardin-gets-spray-painted-with-offensive-statements-2010-07-14>(Hat
Tip: Joshua
I).

Police have started an investigation after a suspected group of people
defaced the fa�ade of the 1,700-year-old Mor Jacob Syriac Orthodox Church in
Nusaybin, in the southeastern province of Mardin, with pro-Islamic slogans.

The offenders allegedly defaced the stone walls of the church on Monday with
various slogans, such as �Clear off, bastards,� �Clear off, Zionist dogs,�
�Heretics, lay off,� and �Zionist powers, clear off,� in Turkish and, �Allah
u Muhammed,� and �Prophet Muhammad, fight the infidels and hypocrites,� in
Arabic.

First they come for the Saturday people and then they come for the Sunday
people. But you Europeans and Americans keep going on pretending that it's
only about Israel. Okay? *posted by Carl in Jerusalem @ 9:54

Not true. You were condemned by a duly-empowered Nova Roman court. Your day in court was the expression of absolute "fairness" that is afforded every citizen.

I would, however, be interested in where you find the right of appeal in our law, as your punishment was not that of exactio.

Vale,

Subject: Re: A request for new elections.
Cato omnibus in foro SPD

I must say that I mis-spoke; the law only allows the Senate to appoint magistrates with three months left in the office that is vacant:

"Should a magistrate's office become vacant during the course of his term, the Senate may appoint a replacement to serve out the remainder of the term should there be less than three months remaining therein." (lex Constitutiva N.R., V.D)

It does seems to me rather a conflict of interest for the party (Piscinus) that is calling for this election to be invalidated to also be part of the group (the diribitors) who are intimately involved in the procedures of the same election.

All in all, it's a mess.

Perhaps, in the end, it might actually be better for the consuls to simply assume the duties of the praetorship for now, clear up the antagonism between Piscinus and Albucius (because, Albucius, whether or not *you* feel there is animosity it certainly looks that way from out here), and in the meantime the Senate can figure out how to get our voting system up and running - maybe even without spending $10,000.00.

Once we have done that, the consuls can jointly call for new elections for the praetorship.

In the meantime, I would also call on the College of Augurs to review and correct the vast discrepancies in augural law that exist between what is being currently practiced and what existed in ancient practice. Again, the use of taking the auspices by proxy should be the *exception*, not the rule, for our magistrates. If it takes education by the College of Augurs or others who actually understand ancient practice, so be it.

Vale,

Cato

I'm posting Albucius' Call for a Sentence. So the Quirites can peruse it & see if they can find the appalling legal errors committed by the praetor.

Then in a day or two I'll post Cordus' rebuttal. He points out that Albucius' call for a sentence perverted the Salician judicial system.

Subject: the Trial - Albucius' call for a Sentence
Actori Caecilio Reae Hortensiaeque s.d.

I have the honor to send to you a copy of the ''Call for a sentence'' already sent to iudex T. Iulius Sabinus, and relative to our present case. The present sending shall be published at the same time in 'novaromatribunalis@yahoogroups.com'.

Good reception and valete,



Albucius cos.
p. praet.

_________________________________________________________________________________________



CALL for a sentence in the case Q.Caecilius Metellus Postumianus Pius vs. M. Hortensia Maior





I, P. Memmius Albucius, consul of Nova Roma, acting pro praetoribus,



In view of the Constitution of Nova Roma, of leges Saliciae, iudicaria (2755 auc) et poenalis (2756 auc), lex Octavia de sermone, and of Nova Roma customs;



In view of

the petitio actionis laid by Q.Caecilius Metellus Postumianus Pius towards me vs. M. Hortensia Maior on a.d. XV Kal. Quint. (June 17th) ;

my decision, as consul acting pro praetoribus, to accept Caecilius' claim (same a.d. XV Kal. Quint. (June 17th) ;

my formula, issued in the frame of this trial pro praetoribus, a.d. XII Kal. Quint 2763 a.u.c. (June 20th);

my letter of a.d. XII Kal. Quint. (June 20th) which reminded both parties that no new legal argument, except the one(s) presented in the claim, would be legally taken in consideration by the tribunal and the praetura during the trial ;

the agreement of the parties to have their case rule by a single judge, according an interpretation of both leges Saliciae that makes the procedural law prevailing;

the edicts issued by former praetrix Hortensia and her then colleague on May 31, 03 June, 05 June and 06 June 2010 (2763 auc);

the veto thrown by consul Memmius of 04 June 2010;

the intercessio issued by Tribune of the Plebs Valeria of 06 June;

the support brought to this veto by tribunes Petronius and Aquilius







REMIND, ON:



The claim



that the actor used three factual and one legal argument(s).



On the facts, the actor put forward that the reus would have:

"used her office" of praetor, and specially "ex officio", which may be interpreted here, as "spontaneously" and "with no previous request" ;

acted this way in order to " infringe upon the rights of citizens"

acted this way in "instances beginning in February of 2763 and ranging through June of the same year".



On the legal argument, the actor considered that the reus would not have respected "The right to participate in all public fora and discussions" which "may not be restricted by the State, except where they represent an imminent and clear danger to the Republic", not providing the source of the quote.





The formula and its corollaries



that the formula has rejected the argument called "legal argument" based on the Constitution as inappropriate and an incorrect interpretation of Nova Roma Law, for lex Octavia de sermone (nonas Iunias 2755 (June 5, 2002)), completing the Constitution of Nova Roma, allows with no ambiguity, in the hands of the praetors, the exercise of functions and powers of moderation whose principle was denied by the actor.



Considering, in due consideration of the arguments brought by both actor and reus, that no element was brought, during the trial, to show that such an interpretation was wrong, and that the praetor has thus no reason to change his position on the ''legal argument" laid by the actor in his claim;



Considering that the reject of this argument denying the praetors any powers of moderation must be therefore confirmed ;



Considering that, in order to respect the equity between both parties, and in application of the praetorian letter a.d. XII Kal. Quint. , no other legal argument may be introduced to complete or replace the one used in the claim, to support his action;



Considering that the only argument that the actor was then still allowed to use, during the trial, was to demonstrate that the rea has, when she was praetrix, abused her powers in a so obvious way that no reasonable average and objective person would contest it;



In view of the article 17.1 of lex Salicia poenalis, which thus defines the notion of 'abusus potestatis' : (when)

''a magistrate of Nova Roma has used his magisterial powers to act against the lawful rights of a person as defined by the laws and Constitution of Nova Roma, or to gain illegal advantages for himself or for others.''





Being here reminded that the formula stated that, at the time it was issued, the actor has not demonstrated or brought factual and dated evidence(s) enough to prove that the rea would have "used her office" of praetor, in order to " infringe upon the rights of citizens", specially during "instances beginning in February of 2763 and ranging through June of the same year";





The trial and what has been at stake during it





that it is therefore necessary to check whether the actor, during the present trial and since the issuing of the formula, might have brought any element of evidence, not initially included in the claim, that may bring the calling praetor to issue a different statement;



Considering that, before examining the complementary arguments of the actor, it is useful reminding that the definition of the 'abusus potestatis', as provided by lex poenalis, implies an intentional element and does not require that the actor be the citizen(s) who would have directly suffered of the reproached action;







The arguments of the actor which must be rejected with no further discussion





that the following arguments of the actor shall be ignored by the Tribunal:



1/ all supposed violations of the Constitution for, as the praetorian formula has underlined it, the way the praetors act as moderators of Nova Roma public fora is ruled by lex Octavia de sermone, not directly by the Constitution;



2/ the assessment according which, in itself, "Moderation, therefore, must be understood to be a restrictive measure against the speaking capabilities of the individual, imposed by the intervention of an individual", for any moderation measure, in itself, cannot be considered, according lex Octavia de sermone, as restricting a legal absolute right that would own every citizen. As recalled by the praetorian formula, the rights owned by Novaroman as by ancient Roman citizens, and specially the right to express publicly, are, like in every country placed under the rule of a State, not absolute ones, and always limited by the rules that the State deems necessary to issue in order to guarantee public order and social peace.



3/ the affirmations of the actor, that "the statements of Gaius Equitius Cato were proselytizing" (..), inflamatory, and may be "seen as spam" and therefore gave cause for moderation. None of this is true.", for such affirmations fall in the power of appreciation of every praetor, specially when acting as moderator of the public fora. The question is not to know whether these statements are right or wrong, but if the rea has expressed them willingly, and in order to infringe the rights of the concerned citizen, here G. Equitius Cato, both elements that the actor does not demonstrate here in the frame of this argument.



4/ all the arguments according which "the defendant cannot put forth etc.'', being thus reminded that the burden of the proof, in a Novaroman trial, is upon the actor, not on the reus/-a.



5/ the argument according which "no edict, to fulfill the requirement of (..) Lex Octavia, had been issued stating what behaviours would be acceptable and which would not", for the absence of a general edict, in which the praetors would have set how they would intend organizing the moderation in Nova Roma public fora, is not illegal and for two reasons:

first the actor himself, quoting lex Octavia's text, underlines the fact that this law says that the praetors are ''empowered'' to issue such a general regulation, and therefore not ''obliged to'';

second because Hortensia and her former colleague may have considered, even if such position does not contribute to uphold the Roman specificity of Nova Roma and may be therefore regretted, that they would apply directly NR fora provider's regulations (here Yahoo!'s ''terms of service''). Such option is not, in the present state of Nova Roma law, illegal.



6/ all other facts reproached to the rea, which either are not demonstrated, or have not been demonstrated, by the actor, as constitutive of an 'abusus potestatis'.









The arguments of the actor which deserve a further examination



that a last argument of the actor, according which the violation, by Hortensia, of the laws of Nova Roma would result first of the fact that her moderation decisions have been vetoed, and second that she would have refused to obey these vetos ;





Considering on the first point that, if in a Roman state, which has no constitutional court which may watch the coherence of the interpretation and application of Law, the veto issued by a magistrate is not, in itself, an absolute statement of the law, but just the way this magistrate interprets, at a given time and concerning a given matter, the Roman Law, such statement of the Law, expressed in the frame of a veto and as its legal basis, must be considered, until confirmation or infirmation, as the applicable law on the legal matter at stake, and in the absence of a competing interpretation expressed at this time by another constitutional power owning equal vetoing powers ;



Considering thus that the vetos expressed by the consul maior on June 5 and Trib. Valeria on June 6 must be considered as saying the state of Nova Roma law on the matters at stake ;



Considering that the rule recalled by the consul, and which former Hortensia was therefore to obey was that

"every officer and magistrate [is] 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." ;



Considering that the rule recalled by the tribune, and which former Hortensia was therefore to obey, even if she considers such tribunician position as "patently absurd" and "a very naïve understanding of law" (cf. Document called 'Testimony of Hortensia', in Novaromatribunalis, msg 333) was that "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."



Considering that both consular and tribunician intercessions just stated that, on the considered points, Hortensia had infringed the rights of Equitius Cato but cannot seen as sanctioning a global policy that would have followed, willingly or not, Hortensia in her former position ;



Considering therefore that both vetos cannot be seen, in themselves, and despite the fact that the addition of a consular and a tribunician veto is not a frequent situation and underlines here that Hortensia had made an inappropriate application of the law, as an evidence that she "used his magisterial powers to act against the lawful rights of a person" and thus abused her praetorian powers.







Considering the second point supported by the actor, according which former praetrix Hortensia would have refused to obey these vetos, and would have therefore committed an abuse of power;



Considering that :



the pieces of evidence brought by both parties, specially the various edicts issued by Hortensia and the vetos, do not demonstrate that former praetor Hortensia analyzed both vetos as assessing that her measure of moderation against G. Equitius Cato was ill-founded;



even if the vetos underlined, on the sanctioned acts, what may appear as an insufficient legal work by the praetor on the matter, the ill-intent of the rea cannot be here presumed and the fact that Hortensia issued, after each veto, a new edict, may be seen, on the contrary and as underlines it Hortensia in her defence, as a will to well take in account each veto;



Considering thus that the issuing of new or correcting edicts on the same matter cannot be seen, in itself, as the expression of a will to ignore the vetos and their binding force;



Considering however that:



the whole sequence of praetorian acts, from May 31st to June 6th, concerning the moderation of G. Equitius Cato, even if the initial measure may have been justified, is characterized by an obvious lack of coherence in the form, on the grounds, and in the sanctions inflicted by former praetor Hortensia to the concerned civis;



in effect, Hortensia moderated Equitius Cato:

on May 31 for 24 hours, for proselytizing ;

on June 3 for 90 days, for circumventing the moderation measure by posting through another address ;

on June 6, after the consular veto, for "24 hours for failing to moderate his religious postings" and in addition for 30 days for "circumventing his May 31st penalty of 24 hour(s)"

on the same day after the tribunician veto, for "24 hours for failing to moderate his religious postings (.. and) for an additional 30 days for violating his May 31st penalty of 24 hour moderation by posting an unmoderated message.",



not apparently taking in account that the initial May 31 moderation measure was over since June 1st, and could not, without any new infraction committed by Equitius, be sanctioned a second time, and a fortiori a third time.



Such redundance may be reasonably and logically considered either as a lack of reasoning or an insufficient knowledge of the basic elements of Nova Roma law, or as a will that G. Equitius Cato be sanctioned, with no necessary legal ground ;



Considering that the rea herself puts forward her legal skills, saying: "I have an American law degree" (cf. Document called 'Testimony of Hortensia' in Novaromatribunalis, msg 333), and that another testimony, provided by the rea herself, mentions that « she has legal training and long experience in NR administration » (cf. Document called 'Testimony of C. Curius' in Novaromatribunalis, msg 341);



Considering that the same last testimony states : "In my personal opinion she is a bit too logical in her professional decisions and doesn't take political situation into account." ;



Considering that all these testimonies, provided by the rea, emphasize Hortensia's legal skills, her experience in Nova Roma public services, and her logical mind;



Considering therefore that if the above evoked redundancy of the 24 hours moderation sanction, with no legal ground, cannot be put on "a lack of reasoning or an insufficient knowledge of the basic elements of Nova Roma law" (cf. Supra), its cause cannot be find but in the will that Hortensia had at this time that G. Equitius Cato be sanctioned, whatever the legality of such sanctions;



Considering thus that it has been demonstrated, from the pieces of evidence brought by both parties, that, on this only point, former praetor Hortensia Maior "used (her) magisterial powers to act against the lawful rights of a person", here G. Equitius Cato, by re-issuing twice on June 6, and without legal base a measure of moderation which should have been considered by her as having ended on June 1.







FOR THESE GROUNDS:



Considering that, in the initial petitio of the actor, and therefore in the formula, the actor had stayed on a general level, not entering the detail of the evidences brought in support of his claim;



Considering that the praetorian formula could not, at this time, conclude otherwise than to the reject of the claim and the absolution of the rea, no abusus potestatis being at this time demonstrated by the actor;



Considering however that, during the trial, the actor, adding to the present case, as pieces of evidence (exhibits 3, 4, 5, 6a and 6b) the edicta issued from May 31 to June 6th by Hortensia, then praetrix, as well as the consular and the tribunician veto (7 and 8) opposed to two of these edicta, brought thus evidences on what he referred in his petitio as being the "instances beginning in February of 2763 and ranging through June of the same year";



Considering therefore that, bringing during the trial new elements of evidences, he did not make an incorrect application of leges Saliciae, and did not introduce new legal arguments whose utilization had been prohibited, after the formula, by the praetor.



In due consideration of the formula, in which it was not possible, in the absence of the evidences provided afterwards during the trial step of the case itself, to insert some of the provisions recommended in leges Saliciae,





CALL for a sentence of CONDEMNATION



On the PENALTIES :



Considering that the actor requested, in his claim, that the rea be condemned to three penalties, at the same time:

a declaration publica ;

inhabilitatio for any office in Nova Roma during the rea's natural life

exactio for a periode no less than 5 years.



Considering that it has been demonstrated that former praetor Hortensia Maior has abused, twice on June 6, her powers of praetor;



Considering the following elements, that may be considered as extenuating arguments:



the concerned citizen, G. Equitius Cato, did not sue against Hortensia. Even if an action for 'abusus potestatis', as provided by lex poenalis, may be opened by an actor who is not the citizen that would have directly suffered of the action of the concerned magistrate, the fact that G. Equitius Cato, senator and experienced citizen, did not deem necessary to lay a claim against the rea, shall draw the Tribunal to consider that the damage provoked by the committed infraction, both to this citizen and to the whole Republic, is not among the ones that should call a quick reparation, and/or a severe sanction;



the resignation presented by Hortensia on June 7 may be considered at the same time as a spontaneous recognition of the infraction committed and of the fact that Hortensia decided to place herself in the hands of Nova Roma's courts and People;



the good will, expressed by Hortensia since several years, to serve Nova Roma, cannot be contested;



the testimony provided by respectable cives of Nova Roma in favor of the rea, specially the one brought by one censor, Hon. Fabius Buteo Modianus.





CALL the TRIBUNAL to inflict M. Hortensia Maior a PENALTY



Considering that the sanctions required by the actor in his petitio actionis do no seem appropriate to the abuse committed here by Hortensia, as stated here;



Considering that the extenuating elements above mentioned may also contribute to mitigate Hortensia's condemnation;



Considering however that it seems necessary, to protect the interests of the Republic and of its citizens, and to give Hortensia time enough to well think about the duties of a Nova Roma magistrate, and specially of a praetor, whose magistracy is particularly difficult to assume.





CALL the TRIBUNAL, if it sees fit, to inflict M. Hortensia Maior the following poena from the issuing of the present sentence on: an inhabilitatio to hold or to be candidate for any Novaroman magistracy or office until Kal. Ian. 2764 auc.

Cato Maiori sal.

Perhaps it might be more effective for Apollonius to state his own case rather than have you roll out what you think the People should hear.

Even in the event, you have had sentence passed by a duly-empowered Nova Roman court. Again, I ask you to find and show where, in our law, you can "appeal" this sentence.

My suggestion several months ago to replace the leges Saliciae did, in fact, include an appellate clause, but you were among those who ridiculed and/or dismissed it.

Vale,

Cato

Salvete

Wait a minute. Didn't Tribunus Saturninus veto Albucius' call for a sentence, and Saturninus said he was vetoing the entire tribunal. So how could Sabinus hand down his verdict?

If any of this happened, why hasn't it been posted? What have the Tribuni plebis have to say on this? And why is Hortensia being denied her rights?

Subject: Re: Intercessio: call for sententia by P. Memmius Albucius
First of all, you can't veto the execution of a law. Albucius' call for a sentence wasn't a magisterial act, per se, but simply the law, even if his wording of the call seemed irregular. A similar nonsense veto was ignored last year when there was an attempt to force the custodes not to certify the election.

Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, the intercessio was published at 9:45 am (#77977) while the verdict came down at 9:13 am (#361 on the tribunal list). There is no time travel in Nova Roma.

Vale,

Gualterus Graecus

There is certainly no legal justification whatsoever for the inclusion of an instruction or even advice about what the sententia should be. No call for a sententia in any trial ever held in Nova Roma under the lex Salicia has ever included this. There is no basis for it in ancient Roman law: on the contrary, the Roman formulary procedure on which the Salician procedure is very closely based did not permit the presiding magistrate to do this. The active involvement of the presiding magistrate essentially ceased with the issue of the formula, which contained all the magistrate's instructions to the judex.
>
> For the presiding magistrate to tell the judex what verdict to deliver totally undermines the whole design of the Salician procedure, in which the presiding magistrate's role is to formulate the issues to be tried and the role of the judex is to answer the questions the presiding magistrate has set out in the formula. This division of roles is plainly evident from the text of the lex Salicia itself and is strongly supported by the very close similarity of that procedure to the ancient Roman formulary system, in which the division of roles was the same.
>
> Moreover, even if the presiding magistrate had any lawful power to instruct or advise the judex what verdict to deliver, it would be unfair for him to do so because it would heavily influence the mind of the judex and effectively compromise the ability of the judex to make an independent and objective decision. The system is such that the judex or judices in a trial are selected at random from among the general population. The judex is clearly neither required nor intended to be legally qualified or in any way expert in legal matters. The judex is not required to be a magistrate, and even if he happens to be a magistrate this has no bearing on his role in the trial: his role is to be a private citizen making a decision based on common sense and not on legal expertise. The presiding magistrate, on the other hand, is a magistrate with imperium and has specific powers relating to the interpretation of law and the administration of justice. It would be extremely difficult for a judex to avoid being influenced, consciously or unconsciously, by an explicit recommendation or instruction from the presiding magistrate to deliver one verdict or the other. This would compromise the whole position of the judex as an objective decision-maker. Even if the judex were able to resist being unduly influenced by the call for a sententia, the public would be unable to be confident that he had done so, and therefore any sententia he did deliver, if it were the same as the one recommended by the presiding magistrate, would not be seen by the public as fair and independent, and the outcome of the trial would be perceived as unjust. It is therefore unfair and contrary to the spirit and intent and general principles of the law for a presiding magistrate in a trial under the Salician system to instruct or advise the judex on what sententia to deliver.
>
> Further, it is extremely unfair in this specific case because the parties had no warning or notice that the presiding magistrate would seek to give such instructions. As I have said above, nothing in the law of Nova Roma, ancient Roman law, or the examples of previous trials in Nova Roma gave the parties any reason at all to think that the presiding magistrate could or would do this, and he never at any stage gave any indication that he himself intended to do it or considered that he had the power to do it. The parties have throughout the trial addressed their arguments and questions to the judex, believing that the judex would be making his decision alone. If the parties had known that the presiding magistrate would take this step, they would very probably have conducted their cases differently. They have therefore both been treated unfairly, in particular the accused who is disadvantaged by this unforeseen and unforeseeable action.
>
> Further, the presiding magistrate bases his call for a verdict of condemnation upon false or mistaken presmises. He says that Q. Metellus has argued that 'the violation, by Hortensia, of the laws of Nova Roma would result first of the fact that her moderation decisions have been vetoed, and second that she would have refused to obey these vetos', and it is on this basis that he concludes that Q. Metellus has successfully argued his case. Metellus, however, has not put forward this argument. It is perfectly clear from his statements during the course of the trial that he regarded the vetoes purely as evidence that M. Hortensia must have known that what she was doing was illegal because she had done similar things before and they had been vetoed. At no stage did he say that she had refused to obey a veto, nor did he ever argue that her refusal to obey a veto was itself an offence of abusus potestatis. On the contrary, he made it perfectly clear that the sole and single allegation on which his case rested was that M. Hortensia placed C. Equitius on moderation by her second edictum of 6 June when she had no lawful power to do so and knowing that she had no lawful power to do so.
>
> Therefore by adopting this argument that was never advanced by Metellus himself during the trial, either the presiding magistrate has demonstrated a very grave misunderstanding of the whole basis of the prosecution, in which case his call for a sententia should be vetoed as being fundamentally flawed in its legal reasoning, or else the presiding magistrate has deliberately reformulated the prosecution case in a way that differs from the prosecutor's own argument, in which case he is effectively prosecuting the case himself in contravention of his neutral role in proceedings, and has also introduced new arguments without giving the defence any opportunity to reply to them. In either case the presiding magistrate has by this action utterly compromised the fairness of the trial and his own role in it.
>
> What is more, the presiding magistrate, in his explanation of his reasons for calling for condemnation, shows that he takes a fundamentally different view of the definition of the offence from the view that was agreed between the parties at trial and was accepted by the judex T. Julius. Q. Metellus in his opening remarks made it apparent that he did not ask the judex to find M. Hortensia guilty of the offence unless she had a culpable state of mind in doing what she did. One of his remarks seemed to indicate that, as far as he was concerned, she was guilty if she knew what she was doing was illegal *or* if she acted without caring whether it was illegal or not; another remark seemed to say that she was guilty only if she actually knew it was illegal. He was asked to clarify this beyond doubt and made it clear that he said she was guilty only if she knew it was illegal. The defence made it plain and explicit to the judex that they accepted and supported this view, and that M. Hortensia was not guilty of the offence unless she had done something she knew or believed to be illegal. The defence also explicitly asked the judex to say if he did not accept this definition, in order that further arguments could be put forward to support it. The judex did not say so. The request was later repeated privately to the judex, and the judex replied that there was no need to say any more about it. Therefore not only both parties but also, by clear and necessary implication, the judex himself agreed on this definition of the offence. The presiding magistrate in his call for a sententia plainly rejects it, basing his whole reasoning on whether M. Hortensia's actions were 'logical', 'reasonable', and explaining her actions by reference to 'the will that Hortensia had at this time that G. Equitius Cato be sanctioned, whatever the legality of such sanctions': in other words, he concludes that she acted without caring whether what she did was illegal or not, but he does not conclude that she knew she was acting illegally. The suggestion that she could be guilty merely as a result of acting without caring whether she was acting legally or illegally was explicitly raised in the course of the trial, explicitly disavowed by the prosecutor, and not discussed any further because both parties and the judex all agreed that this was not the correct legal definition of the offence. The presiding magistrate has resurrected it without allowing the parties any opportunity for discussion. Even, therefore, if his definition is not simply wrong (which both parties agree it is), it is undeniable that his introduction of it at this stage, without warning or right of reply, in direct contradiction of the basis on which the whole trial was conducted, utterly undermines the fairness of the trial.
>
> Finally, the call for condemnation is also justified by the assertion that 'Hortensia Maior "used (her) magisterial powers to act against the lawful rights of a person", here G. Equitius Cato, by re-issuing [the edictum of moderation] twice on June 6'. This, again, is in complete contradiction to the actual case advanced by the prosecutor. Q. Metellus made is completely clear from his very first remarks after the trial began that the second edictum of 6 June was the only act done by M. Hortensia that he alleged amounted to an offence of abusus potestatis. It was therefore that single edictum that formed the basis of the entire case as conducted by both parties and considered by the judex. Metellus explicitly disavowed any suggestion that the first edictum of 6 June constituted an offence for which he sought a condemnation. The presiding magistrate now calls for her condemnation on the basis of both her edicta of 6 June, thus clearly indicating that in his view the offence is made up of both the edicta taken together. He does not say that these two edicta make up two separate offences of abusus potestatis, therefore presumably neither one on its own is, in his view, sufficient for a condemnation. If he had considered the prosecution case as it was put forward, therefore, and addressed himself to the proposition actually advanced by Metellus that the second edictum was on its own an offence, he would presumably have had to conclude that it did not. Whether this is correct or not, it is in any case another clear and egregious example of the presiding magistrate ignoring the whole basis on which the case has been conducted, effectively taking over the prosecution himself and putting forward new allegations and arguments that were never made at trial by the prosecutor, giving neither party any opportunity to respond to these new allegations and arguments, and thus rendering it impossible for this trial to have a fair outcome.

> In summary, the presiding magistrate has no power at all to instruct or advise the judex on which verdict to give; even if he has such a power, it is unfair and contrary to the spirit of the law and of justice to use it in this way; it is also specifically unfair in this case because the parties had no idea he was going to do it and could not reasonably have expected him to do it, and they might well have conducted their cases differently if they had known this; and the specific call for condemnation that the presiding magistrate has in fact issued in this case is legally flawed, ignores and contradicts in several ways the basis on which the whole trial was conducted by both parties and the judex, gives the parties no opportunity to answer the points that are raised for the first time by him now, and consequently severely compromises the fairness of the trial and its outcome.

Subject: A Call to the Citizens of Nova Roma and the Tribuni Plebis
M. Moravius Piscinus civibus Rovae Romae, Quiritbus, s. p. d.

Duly-empowered? A counsul, with no authority to hold tribunals, appointed a single iudex, exceeded his authority in instructing the lone iudex to condemn the rea without any mention, as required by the leges Saliciae, that he must include an instruction to acquit if the burden of proof was not met, along with other errors in these proceedings?

Citizens of Nova Roma, this looks more and more as though Senatrix Hortensia is being railroaded in an attempt to remove her from the Senate and from her eligibility to remain a candidate in an election not yet resolved. It looks as though Albucius and his two new found friends, Cato and Sulla, are abusing our justice system for their political interests. That is an abuse of authority on top of the abuses Albucius has already committed.

Where is this verdict if she was condemned, when was it posted?

I call on our Tribuni Plebis to investigate the conduct of this trial and to employ their powers of intercessio to protect the rights of all Citizens against blatant abuse of our judicial system.

Subject: Re: A Call to the Citizens of Nova Roma and the Tribuni Plebis
M. Hortensia M. Moravio spd;
I am posting below my advocatus' analysis. And he will be requesting the Comitia meet to rescind my sentence as Lex Salicia poenalis 12 ensures!!

" Once a sententia has been issued by a legal Novoroman court, since this court represents the will of the Comitia, only a vote in the Comitia may rescind a sententia by the passage of a lex"
http://www.novaroma.org/nr/Lex_Salicia_poenalis_(Nova_Roma)#12._Legal_Precedence:

A. APOLLONIUS CORDUS, advocatus:

The document entitled 'Call for a sentence in "Caecilius vs. Hortensia"' is plainly intended to fulfill the requirement of the lex Salicia judiciaria ch. XIV: 'Once both parties have presented their evidence, each party shall have the opportunity to make one final statement in front of the iudices, with the actor speaking in the first place. Then the praetor shall call for a sententia (sentence) from the iudices, according to paragraph XV, reminding the iudices that, in case of doubt, they must *not* condemn the reus.'

There is nothing in the lex Salicia or any other lex or any other legal instrument in Nova Roma to give the slightest indication that the call for a sententia under ch. XIV should contain anything other than a request for the judex to deliver a sententia and a reminder of the presumption of innocence. There is certainly no legal justification whatsoever for the inclusion of an instruction or even advice about what the sententia should be. No call for a sententia in any trial ever held in Nova Roma under the lex Salicia has ever included this. There is no basis for it in ancient Roman law: on the contrary, the Roman formulary procedure on which the Salician procedure is very closely based did not permit the presiding magistrate to do this. The active involvement of the presiding magistrate essentially ceased with the issue of the formula, which contained all the magistrate's instructions to the judex.

For the presiding magistrate to tell the judex what verdict to deliver totally undermines the whole design of the Salician procedure, in which the presiding magistrate's role is to formulate the issues to be tried and the role of the judex is to answer the questions the presiding magistrate has set out in the formula. This division of roles is plainly evident from the text of the lex Salicia itself and is strongly supported by the very close similarity of that procedure to the ancient Roman formulary system, in which the division of roles was the same.

Moreover, even if the presiding magistrate had any lawful power to instruct or advise the judex what verdict to deliver, it would be unfair for him to do so because it would heavily influence the mind of the judex and effectively compromise the ability of the judex to make an independent and objective decision. The system is such that the judex or judices in a trial are selected at random from among the general population. The judex is clearly neither required nor intended to be legally qualified or in any way expert in legal matters. The judex is not required to be a magistrate, and even if he happens to be a magistrate this has no bearing on his role in the trial: his role is to be a private citizen making a decision based on common sense and not on legal expertise. The presiding magistrate, on the other hand, is a magistrate with imperium and has specific powers relating to the interpretation of law and the administration of justice. It would be extremely difficult for a judex to avoid being influenced, consciously or unconsciously, by an explicit recommendation or instruction from the presiding magistrate to deliver one verdict or the other. This would compromise the whole position of the judex as an objective decision-maker. Even if the judex were able to resist being unduly influenced by the call for a sententia, the public would be unable to be confident that he had done so, and therefore any sententia he did deliver, if it were the same as the one recommended by the presiding magistrate, would not be seen by the public as fair and independent, and the outcome of the trial would be perceived as unjust. It is therefore unfair and contrary to the spirit and intent and general principles of the law for a presiding magistrate in a trial under the Salician system to instruct or advise the judex on what sententia to deliver.

Further, it is extremely unfair in this specific case because the parties had no warning or notice that the presiding magistrate would seek to give such instructions. As I have said above, nothing in the law of Nova Roma, ancient Roman law, or the examples of previous trials in Nova Roma gave the parties any reason at all to think that the presiding magistrate could or would do this, and he never at any stage gave any indication that he himself intended to do it or considered that he had the power to do it. The parties have throughout the trial addressed their arguments and questions to the judex, believing that the judex would be making his decision alone. If the parties had known that the presiding magistrate would take this step, they would very probably have conducted their cases differently. They have therefore both been treated unfairly, in particular the accused who is disadvantaged by this unforeseen and unforeseeable action.

Further, the presiding magistrate bases his call for a verdict of condemnation upon false or mistaken presmises. He says that Q. Metellus has argued that 'the violation, by Hortensia, of the laws of Nova Roma would result first of the fact that her moderation decisions have been vetoed, and second that she would have refused to obey these vetos', and it is on this basis that he concludes that Q. Metellus has successfully argued his case. Metellus, however, has not put forward this argument. It is perfectly clear from his statements during the course of the trial that he regarded the vetoes purely as evidence that M. Hortensia must have known that what she was doing was illegal because she had done similar things before and they had been vetoed. At no stage did he say that she had refused to obey a veto, nor did he ever argue that her refusal to obey a veto was itself an offence of abusus potestatis. On the contrary, he made it perfectly clear that the sole and single allegation on which his case rested was that M. Hortensia placed C. Equitius on moderation by her second edictum of 6 June when she had no lawful power to do so and knowing that she had no lawful power to do so.

Therefore by adopting this argument that was never advanced by Metellus himself during the trial, either the presiding magistrate has demonstrated a very grave misunderstanding of the whole basis of the prosecution, in which case his call for a sententia should be vetoed as being fundamentally flawed in its legal reasoning, or else the presiding magistrate has deliberately reformulated the prosecution case in a way that differs from the prosecutor's own argument, in which case he is effectively prosecuting the case himself in contravention of his neutral role in proceedings, and has also introduced new arguments without giving the defence any opportunity to reply to them. In either case the presiding magistrate has by this action utterly compromised the fairness of the trial and his own role in it.

What is more, the presiding magistrate, in his explanation of his reasons for calling for condemnation, shows that he takes a fundamentally different view of the definition of the offence from the view that was agreed between the parties at trial and was accepted by the judex T. Julius. Q. Metellus in his opening remarks made it apparent that he did not ask the judex to find M. Hortensia guilty of the offence unless she had a culpable state of mind in doing what she did. One of his remarks seemed to indicate that, as far as he was concerned, she was guilty if she knew what she was doing was illegal *or* if she acted without caring whether it was illegal or not; another remark seemed to say that she was guilty only if she actually knew it was illegal. He was asked to clarify this beyond doubt and made it clear that he said she was guilty only if she knew it was illegal. The defence made it plain and explicit to the judex that they accepted and supported this view, and that M. Hortensia was not guilty of the offence unless she had done something she knew or believed to be illegal. The defence also explicitly asked the judex to say if he did not accept this definition, in order that further arguments could be put forward to support it. The judex did not say so. The request was later repeated privately to the judex, and the judex replied that there was no need to say any more about it. Therefore not only both parties but also, by clear and necessary implication, the judex himself agreed on this definition of the offence. The presiding magistrate in his call for a sententia plainly rejects it, basing his whole reasoning on whether M. Hortensia's actions were 'logical', 'reasonable', and explaining her actions by reference to 'the will that Hortensia had at this time that G. Equitius Cato be sanctioned, whatever the legality of such sanctions': in other words, he concludes that she acted without caring whether what she did was illegal or not, but he does not conclude that she knew she was acting illegally. The suggestion that she could be guilty merely as a result of acting without caring whether she was acting legally or illegally was explicitly raised in the course of the trial, explicitly disavowed by the prosecutor, and not discussed any further because both parties and the judex all agreed that this was not the correct legal definition of the offence. The presiding magistrate has resurrected it without allowing the parties any opportunity for discussion. Even, therefore, if his definition is not simply wrong (which both parties agree it is), it is undeniable that his introduction of it at this stage, without warning or right of reply, in direct contradiction of the basis on which the whole trial was conducted, utterly undermines the fairness of the trial.

Finally, the call for condemnation is also justified by the assertion that 'Hortensia Maior "used (her) magisterial powers to act against the lawful rights of a person", here G. Equitius Cato, by re-issuing [the edictum of moderation] twice on June 6'. This, again, is in complete contradiction to the actual case advanced by the prosecutor. Q. Metellus made is completely clear from his very first remarks after the trial began that the second edictum of 6 June was the only act done by M. Hortensia that he alleged amounted to an offence of abusus potestatis. It was therefore that single edictum that formed the basis of the entire case as conducted by both parties and considered by the judex. Metellus explicitly disavowed any suggestion that the first edictum of 6 June constituted an offence for which he sought a condemnation. The presiding magistrate now calls for her condemnation on the basis of both her edicta of 6 June, thus clearly indicating that in his view the offence is made up of both the edicta taken together. He does not say that these two edicta make up two separate offences of abusus potestatis, therefore presumably neither one on its own is, in his view, sufficient for a condemnation. If he had considered the prosecution case as it was put forward, therefore, and addressed himself to the proposition actually advanced by Metellus that the second edictum was on its own an offence, he would presumably have had to conclude that it did not. Whether this is correct or not, it is in any case another clear and egregious example of the presiding magistrate ignoring the whole basis on which the case has been conducted, effectively taking over the prosecution himself and putting forward new allegations and arguments that were never made at trial by the prosecutor, giving neither party any opportunity to respond to these new allegations and arguments, and thus rendering it impossible for this trial to have a fair outcome.

In summary, the presiding magistrate has no power at all to instruct or advise the judex on which verdict to give; even if he has such a power, it is unfair and contrary to the spirit of the law and of justice to use it in this way; it is also specifically unfair in this case because the parties had no idea he was going to do it and could not reasonably have expected him to do it, and they might well have conducted their cases differently if they had known this; and the specific call for condemnation that the presiding magistrate has in fact issued in this case is legally flawed, ignores and contradicts in several ways the basis on which the whole trial was conducted by both parties and the judex, gives the parties no opportunity to answer the points that are raised for the first time by him now, and consequently severely compromises the fairness of the trial and its outcome.

SALVE!

Duly-empowered? A counsul, with no authority to hold tribunals, >>>
 
See the consular edict:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nova-Roma/message/76243%c2%a0

See lex Salicia judiciaria, pars tertia, point VIII, A & B.
 
"A. The tribunalis shall be composed of ten (10) iudices whenever the intentio includes accusations of laesa patria (seriously threatening the well-being of the Republic), bribery, embezzlement of public funds, prevarication, electoral fraud, attacks to dignitas, slander or libel, or whenever the sententia might imply the loss of citizenship for one of the parties.
B. In all other occasions, the tribunalis shall be composed of a single iudex."
 
Both parties were asked and both parties agreed with that. There are evidences.
 
>exceeded his authority in instructing the lone iudex to condemn the rea without any mention, as required by the leges Saliciae, that he must include an instruction to acquit if the burden of proof was not met, along with other errors in these proceedings?>>>
 
No. It was mandatory for Albucius, in case of 'condemno' to present a formula based of the choice of condemnation. See lex Salicia judiciaria, pars quinta de sententia,point B:
 
"B. CONDEMNO: if the tribunal's majority decision is "condemno", the reus shall be condemned according to the formula previously established by the praetor."
 
For other options, the Albucius cal for sententiae: 
 
"CALL the TRIBUNAL, if it sees fit, to inflict M. Hortensia Maior the following poena from the issuing of the present sentence on: an inhabilitatio to hold or to be candidate for any Novaroman magistracy or office until Kal. Ian. 2764 auc."
 
included:
 
IF IT SEES FIT.
 
Therefore there were other options allowed and not only condemno. The things are simple and clear.
 
>Citizens of Nova Roma, this looks more and more as though Senatrix Hortensia is being railroaded in an attempt to remove her from the Senate and from her eligibility to remain a candidate in an election not yet resolved. It looks as though Albucius and his two new found friends, Cato and Sulla, are abusing our justice system for their political interests. That is an abuse of authority on top of the abuses Albucius has already committed.>>>
 
There is not any abuse. Nobody wants to remove Hortensia from the Senate. The sentence don't include removal from Senate.  The sentence is clear: M. Hortensia can not candidate this year.

Where is this verdict if she was condemned, when was it posted? >>>
 
See Gualterus message.

I call on our Tribuni Plebis to investigate the conduct of this trial and to employ their powers of intercessio to protect the rights of all Citizens against blatant abuse of our judicial system.>>>
 
There is not any abuse. As always one part is not happy with the sentence. Well, I only say that is the time as some to recognize their mistakes, accept the consequences and act with honour. That is the rifgt way.
 
VALE,
T. Iulius Sabinus

Hey in times like these a sense of humor is an absolute. This is why the BA

Ave Sulla,

Ah so you prefer quantity over quality then! So then you fully realize that each post you deposit on the ML is one less in deposit in your alley:o)
Be careful with "absolutes" they have a way of turning about and biting one in one's butt *laugh*

Julia,

I will need to answer this latter, I have to go out and pick up a check from
one of our General Contractors. When I finish that up then I can answer
your inquiry.

Vale,

The law allows the Senate to appoint if three months or less is left in a term. We need to hold elections, period.

They can with an SCU, and that might be the best solution at this point.

Salve Pauline,

It is preferable to hold elections and to do this we need a working cista.
