A lot of things could be caused by the Gods, but I highly doubt that included on
their agenda is causing Sulla's washing machine to get clogged with a
pillowcase.
I think those of us who believe in the Gods would always listen to what they
have to say, were it a genuine portent. What I am doing is listening to what you
say the Gods might have said or done, and there is of course a stark difference
between the two. One involves the Gods directly and the other involves you
speculating what they might of have done to his washing machine.
I am sure that at some point in the not too distant future I will see evidence
of you being truly mad. It is only a question of how long. It happens to many in
here. I hope you rise above the average displays of madness and put forth a
spectacular display of frothing, gnashing and convulsing. Life can be so tedious
on here at times, with only Maior to entertain us.
Vale bene
Caesar

M. Moravius Piscinus Pontifex Maximus Quiritibus cultoribus Deorum et omnibus salutem plurimam dicit: Salvete, vosque bona Iuppiter auctet ope.
Hodie est Kalendae Septembres; haec dies fastus est: Iunonis Reginae in Aventino; feriae Iovi Liberi; Iovi Tonanti in Capitolio; calor.
"Lean and sloping ground is not to be ploughed in summer, but around the Kalends of September; for if it is broken before this time, the earth, being exhausted and destitute of moisture, is burned by the summer sun and has no reserves of strength. Therefore, it is best to plough it between the Kalends and the Ides of September, and then work it again immediately, so that it may be sown during the first rains of the equinox, and such land is to be sown, not in the ridges, but in the furrows." ~ L. Iunius Moderatus Columella, Rei Rusticae 2.4.11
AUC 361 / 392 BCE: Dedication of the Temple of Juno Regina on the Aventine
"After the Dictator had taken the auspices and issued orders for the soldiers to arm for battle, he uttered this prayer: "Pythian Apollo, guided and inspired by thy will I go forth to destroy the city of Veii, and a tenth part of its spoils I devote to thee. Thee too, Queen Juno, who now dwellest in Veii, I beseech, that thou wouldst follow us, after our victory, to the City which is ours and which will soon be shine, where a temple worthy of thy majesty will receive thee." After this prayer, finding himself superior in numbers, he attacked the city on all sides, to distract the enemies' attention from the impending danger of the mine. The Veientines, all unconscious that their doom had already been sealed by their own prophets and by oracles in foreign lands, that some of the Gods had already been invited to Their share in the spoils, whilst others, called upon in prayer to leave their city, were looking to new abodes in the temples of their foes.
"When all that belonged to man had been carried away from Veii, they began to remove from the temples the votive gifts that had been made to the gods, and then the gods themselves; but this they did as worshippers rather than as plunderers. The deportation of Queen Juno to Rome was entrusted to a body of men selected from the whole army, who after performing their ablutions and arraying themselves in white vestments, reverently entered the temple and in a spirit of holy dread placed their hands on the statue, for it was as a rule only the priest of one particular house who, by Etruscan usage, touched it. Then one of them, either under a sudden inspiration, or in a spirit of youthful mirth, said, "Art thou willing, Juno, to go to Rome?" The rest exclaimed that the goddess nodded assent. An addition to the story was made to the effect that she was heard to say, "I am willing." At all events we have it that she was moved from her place by appliances of little power, and proved light and easy of transport, as though she were following of her own accord. She was brought without mishap to the Aventine, her everlasting seat, whither the prayers of the Roman Dictator had called her, and where this same Camillus afterwards dedicated the temple which he had vowed." ~ Titus Livius 5.21 and 22
The many Junones
Just as every man has his genius, and every woman her juno, each God has a Genius and every Goddess Her Juno. Thus, at one point, Proserpina is called "the Juno of Hades" and Hercules, as the son of Jupiter is also said to be the Genius of Jupiter. Each city had their own protective Goddess. Rome kept the name of their Goddess secret so that no enemy might evoke Her away as Rome was to do to other cities. In the story told by Livy of the downfall of Veii, Rome's victory is attributed to fulfilling a prophecy and to successfully evoking the Etruscan Goddess Vei from Her city to Rome where She was installed as Juno Regina of the Aventine. Other Goddess were likewise install at Rome. Carthaginian Tanit, for example, came to Rome as Juno Caelestis. On the Esquiline was a shrine of Mefitis of the Samnites, who was at times referred to as a Juno Regina, and another Juno Regina in the Forum Holitorium came from elsewhere.
Under the Republic these various Junones remained distinct. In the dialogue on the Gods by Cicero, he used these distinctions in an argument against supposing anthropomorphic Gods.
"You never see (Juno Sospita) even in your dreams unless equipped with goat-skin, spear, buckler and slippers turned up at the toes. Yet that is not the same as the Argive Juno nor the Roman Juno." ~ M. Tullius Cicero, De Natura Deorum 1.29 (82)
Under Augustus there began a syncretism that brought the various Latin Junones together, to be seen as Juno Capitolina, while more distant Junones remained distinct. Later still, however, in the mystery religions of the Eastern provinces, syncretism moved towards seeing various Goddesses as a single Goddess, and lesser goddesses as Her daughters, and pushed the imperial religio Romana towards henotheism. In Apuleius' "Metamorphosis" we see this syncretism at work on two levels. Below, a prayer addressed to Juno combines many different Junones as though They are all the same Goddess. Then later in the story, upon meeting Isis, the Ass learns that all Goddesses, under this Hellenistic mystery religion, were thought to be manifestations of Isis.
"O spouse and sister of Mighty Jupiter, whether You are worshipped and adored in the public rites of the temples of Samos, or whether You are called upon singularly by women in their tearful moment of giving birth, Your glory is nourished. You dwell in ancient temples, whether at haughty Carthage, whose temples You frequently bless when they celebrate Your journey from heaven on the back of a lion, or whether in Your temple beside the riverbank of Inachus where You are celebrated as the wife of thundering Jupiter Tonans and as Queen of the Gods. Famous among the Argives whose walls You defend, You who all the east venerates as Life-giving Zygia, who all the west names Lucina, may You be an advocate for me against my utter downfall, Juno Sospita, and endure until the end in all my weary labors, exhausted as I am, deliver me from imminent peril and free me from my fears." ~ Lucius Apuleius of Madaura, Metamorphoses 6.
In the religio Romana the feast days of the various Junones retain Their distinctions, fully recognizing that it is upon Their Junones that They are invoked, but that each is a seperate and unique Goddess.
AUC 722 / 31 BCE: Restoration of the Temple of Jupiter Feretrius
The first templum at Rome was established by Romulus on the Capitoline Hill.
"Romulus mounted to the Capitol with the spoils of his dead foe (the Sabine King Akron of Caeninenses) borne before him on a frame constructed for the purpose. He hung them there on an oak, which the shepherds looked upon as a sacred tree, and at the same time marked out the site for the temple of Jupiter, and addressing the god by a new title, uttered the following invocation: 'Jupiter Feretrius! these arms taken from a king, I, Romulus a king and conqueror, bring to thee, and on this domain, whose bounds I have in will and purpose traced, I dedicate a temple to receive the 'spolia opima' which posterity following my example shall bear hither, taken from the kings and generals of our foes slain in battle.' Such was the origin of the first temple dedicated in Rome. And the Gods decreed that though its founder did not utter idle words in declaring that posterity would thither bear their spoils, still the splendour of that offering should not be dimmed by the number of those who have rivalled his achievement. For after so many years have elapsed and so many wars been waged, only twice have the 'spolia opima' been offered. So seldom has Fortune granted that glory to men." ~ Titus Livius 1.10
The others who won the spoilia opima were A. Cornelius Cossus who defeated Lar Tolumnius, the king of Veii, in 428 BCE (Livy 4.20; Valerius Maximus 3.2.4), and C. Claudius Marcellus who, in 221 BCE, defeated Viridomarus, the Isubrian king (Livy Ep. 20; Plutarch, Marcellus 8). At the suggestion of Atticus, friend of Cicero, Augustus restored the sacullum of Jupiter Feretrius near the Capitolium in 31 BCE. It is the dedication of this restored sacullum that is celebrated today. Afterward the Senate granted Augustus "the right to offer spolia opima, as they are called, at the Temple of Jupiter Feretrius, as if he had slain some hostile general with his own hand, and to have lictors who always carried laurel, and after the Feriae Latinae to ride from the Alban Mount into the city on horseback (Dio Cassius 44.4.3)."
AUC 732 /22 BCE: Dedication of the Temple of Jupiter Tonans on the Capitoline Hill
"I pray first to You, thunderous Jupiter Tonans, that now finally You spare me in my old age and lift Your anger from me." ~Valerius Flaccus, Argonautica 4.474-76
Augustus dedicated this temple after a vow in 26 BCE in thanks for his miraculous escape from being struck by a lightning bolt in Spain during his Cantabrian campaign. He erected it at the entrance to the sacred precinct of the Capitolium.
"Concerning this temple two stories have been handed down, first, that at that time claps of thunder occurred when the ritual was being performed, and, second, that at a later time Augustus had a dream as follows. The people, he thought, approached Jupiter who is called Tonans and did reverence to him, partly because of the novelty of his name and of the form of his statue, and partly because the statue had been set up by Augustus, 3 but chiefly because it was the first they encountered as they ascended the Capitol; and thereupon the Jupiter in the Capitolium was angry because he was now reduced to second place as compared with the other. At this, Augustus related, he said to Jupiter Capitolinus, 'You have Tonans as your sentinel;' and when it was day, he attached a bell to the statue as confirmation of the vision. For those who guard communities at night carry a bell, in order to be able to signal to the inhabitants whenever they need to do so." ~ Dio Cassius 54.4
Augustus especially embellished this temple, making its walls of marble and adorning it with famous pieces of art. In front were statues of Castor and Pollux by Hegias. Leochares produced the bronze statue of Jupiter Tonans for the temple [G. Plinius Secundus, Historia Naturalis 34.19 (78 and 79)].
Today's thought is from Demophilus, Pythagorean Sentences 1.
"Request not of Divinity such things as, when obtained, you cannot preserve; for no gift of Divinity can ever be taken away; and on this account They do not confer that which you are unable to retain."

M. Moravius Piscinus Pontifex Maximus Quiritibus cultoribus Deorum et omnibus salutem plurimam dicit: Sapite animo; fruamini anima
Hodie est ante diem IIII Nonas Septembris; haec dies fastus aterque est: feriae ex senatus consulto quod eo die Imperator Caesar divi filius Augustus apud Actium vicit se et Titio consulibus; Piscis austrinus desinit occidere, calor.
AUC 709 /44 BCE: Cicero delivers the First Philippic against Anthony before the Senate
"What I am more afraid of is lest, being ignorant of the true path to glory, you, should think it glorious for you to have more power by yourself than all the rest of the people put together, and lest you should prefer being feared by your fellow-citizens to being loved by them. And if you do think so, you are ignorant of the road to glory." ~ M. Tullius Cicero, Philippic I.14 (34)
AUC 722 / 31 BCE: The Battle of Actium
"Then came the day of the great conflict, in which Caesar and Anthony led out their fleets and fought, one for the safety, and the other for ruin, of the world." ~ Vellius Paterculus, Historia 2.85-86
M. Agrippa, commanding the fleet for Octavius, had blockaded Anthony's fleet and the Egyptian fleet inside a bay overlooked by the town of Actium and a Temple of Apollo on the slopes above. Out-numbered and caught on the leeward side of the bay, Marcus Antonius built his ships up in height, reinforced their sides, and loaded extra soldiers on them to combat the marines that Agrippa had used so successfully in defeating Sextius Pompeius off the coast of Sicily. His plan was to use oar-power to edge his fleet forward, protecting his flanks by use of the bay's narrow opening, then split his center where the winds prevailed and would allow Cleopatra and the remainder of his fleet to escape under sail. His plan worked effectively enough, considering the situation that he was in. Cleopatra escaped with the treasury and Antonius was able to disengage and escape with roughly a third of his fleet. Later historians painted a different picture. Of the two accounts presented here, Plutarch's seems the more accurate. Dio Cassius embellished his account to make it seem like a set piece naval engagement when really the Battle of Actium was Anthony's attempt to break through a blockade in a running battle.
"That day and the three following the sea was so rough they could not engage. But on the fifth there was a calm, and they fought; Antonius commanding with Publicola the right, and Coelius the left squadron, Marcus Octavius and Marcus Insteius the centre. Cæsar gave the charge of the left to Agrippa, commanding in person on the right. As for the land-forces, Canidius was general for Antony, Taurus for Cæsar; both armies remaining drawn up in order along the shore. . ." ~ Plutarch, Parallel Lives: Anthony 65
"And when they set sail at the sound of the trumpet, and with their ships in dense array drew up their line a little outside the strait and advanced no further, Caesar set out as if to engage with them, if they stood their ground, or even to make them retire. But when they neither came out against him on their side nor turned to retire, but remained where they were, and not only that, but also vastly increased the density of their line by their close formation, Caesar checked his course, in doubt what to do. He then ordered his sailors to let their oars rest in the water, and waited for a time; after this he suddenly, at a given signal, led forward both his wings and bent his line in the form of a crescent, hoping if possible to surround the enemy, or otherwise to break their formation in any case. Antonius, accordingly, fearing this flanking and encircling movement, advanced to meet it as best he could, and thus reluctantly joined battle with Caesar.
"So they engaged and began the conflict, each side indulging in a great deal of exhortation to its own men in order to call forth the skill and zeal of the fighters, and also hearing many orders shouted out to them from the men on shore. The struggle was not of a similar nature on the two sides, but Caesar's followers, having smaller and swifter ships, would dash forward and ram the enemy, being armored on all sides to avoid receiving damage. If they sank a vessel, well and good; if not, they would back water before coming to grips, and would either ram the same vessels suddenly again, or would let those go and turn their attention to others; and having done some damage to these also, so far as they could in a brief time, they would proceed against others and then against still others, in order that their assault upon any vessel might be so far as possible unexpected. For since they dreaded the long-range missiles of the enemy no less than their fighting at close quarters, they wasted no time either in the approach or in the encounter, but running up suddenly so as to reach their object before the enemy's archers could get in their work, they would inflict injuries or else cause just enough disturbance to escape being held, and then would retire out of range. The enemy, on the other hand, tried to hit the approaching ships with dense showers of stones and arrows, and to cast iron grapnels upon their assailants. And in case they could reach them they got the better of it, but if they missed, their own boats would be pierced and would sink, or else in their endeavour to avoid this calamity they would waste time and lay themselves more open to attack by other ships; for two or three ships would fall at one time upon the same ship, some doing all the damage they could while the others took the brunt of the injuries. On the one side the pilots and the rowers endured the most hardship and fatigue, and on the other side the marines; and the one side resembled cavalry, now making a charge and now retreating, since it was in their power to attack and back off at will, and the others were like heavy-armed troops guarding against the approach of foes and trying their best to hold them. Consequently each gained advantages over the other; the one party would run in upon the lines of oars projecting from the ships and shatter the blades, and the other party, fighting from the higher level, would sink them with stones and engines. On the other hand, there were also disadvantages on each side: the one party could do no damage to the enemy when it approached, and the other party, if in any case it failed to sink a vessel which it rammed, was hemmed in no longer fought an equal contest." ~ Dio Cassius 31.4-32.8
"When they engaged, there was no charging or striking of one ship by another, because Antonius', by reason of their great bulk, were incapable of the rapidity required to make the stroke effectual, and on the other side, Cæsar's durst not charge head to head on Antonius', which were all armed with solid masses and spikes of brass; nor did they like even to run in on their sides, which were so strongly built with great squared pieces of timber, fastened together with iron bolts, that their vessels' beaks would easily have been shattered upon them. So that the engagement resembled a land fight, or, to speak yet more properly, the attack and defence of a fortified place; for there were always three or four vessels of Cæsar's about one of Antonius', pressing them with spears, javelins, poles, and several inventions of fire, which they flung among them, Antonius' men using catapults also, to pour down missiles from wooden towers. Agrippa drawing out the squadron under his command to outflank the enemy, Publicola was obliged to observe his motions, and gradually to break off from the middle squadron, where some confusion and alarm ensued, while Arruntius engaged them. But the fortune of the day was still undecided, and the battle equal, when on a sudden Cleopatra's sixty ships were seen hoisting sail and making out to sea in full flight, right through the ships that were engaged. For they were placed behind the great ships, which, in breaking through, they put into disorder. The enemy was astonished to see them sailing off with a fair wind towards Peloponnesus. Here it was that Antonius showed to all the world that he was no longer actuated by the thoughts and motives of a commander or a man, or indeed by his own judgment at all, and what was once said as a jest, that the soul of a lover lives in some one else's body, he proved to be a serious truth. For, as if he had been born part of her, and must move with her wheresoever she went, as soon as he saw her ship sailing away, he abandoned all that were fighting and spending their lives for him, and put himself aboard a galley of five banks of oars, taking with him only Alexander of Syria and Scellias, to follow her that had so well begun his ruin and would hereafter accomplish it." ~ Plutarch, Parallel Lives: Anthony 66
As a side note of the battle, Gaius Sosius was a Pompeian during the Civil War. Caesar pardoned him and after Caesar's assassination Sosius joined with Antonius. As reward he was made governor of Syria and Cilicia. Antonius ordered him to support Herod against Antigonus the Hasmonean. Sosius then took Jerusalem in 37 BCE, and placed Herod on the throne. Sosius gained a triumph for this exploit and also became consul in 32. He again sided with Antonius when war broke out with Octavius. At Actium he commanded a squadron in the left wing of Marcus Antonius' fleet. He defeated and put to flight an Octavian squadron led by Lucius Arruntius. When Agrippa reinforced Arruntius, it was Sosius' turn to flee. He was eventually discovered and captured but it was Arruntius who then begged Octavius to spare the life of Sosius. Octavius granted pardon and even appointed Sosius one of the quindecemviri sacris faciundis. He appears along with Octavius, Agrippa, and Arruntius as the celebrants of the Ludi Saeculares of 17 BCE.
Today's thought is from Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 7.31:
"Take thy joy in simplicity, in integrity, and with indifference towards all that lies between virtue and vice. Love mankind. Follow the Gods. 'All else,' says Democritus, 'is subject to convention; only the elements are absolute and real.' And it is enough to remember that Law rules all."

M. Moravius Piscinus Pontifex Maximus Quiritibus cultoribus Deorum et omnibus salutem plurimam dicit: Di vos salvam et servatam volunt
Hodie est ante diem III Nonas Septembres; haec dies comitialis est: feriae et supplicationes apud omnia pulvinaria quod eo die Caesar divi filius vicit in Sicilia Censorino et Calvisio consulibus.
"Go, prepare the sacred vessels, fetch sacrificial offerings and priests to prepare them, that I may give thanks to Jove." ~ T. Maccius Plautus, Pseudolus 326-27
AUC 719 / 34 BCE: Triumph of C. Sosius C.f. T.n., proconsul, held in celebration of his victory in Judaea.
Yesterday, in regard to the Battle of Actium, we met with one of the lesser known participants, C. Sosius who had been praetor in 49 BCE. During the Civil War he had sided with Pompeius, returning to Rome after Pharsala where he was pardoned by Julius Caesar. He then sided with Marcus Antonius after Caesar's assassination. In 38 BCE Antonius was besieging Antiochus at Samosata, but as this was proving too lengthy for his political ambitions, he abandoned the siege and left for Rome. "After doing this he set out for Italy, and Gaius Sosius received from him the governorship of Syria and Cilicia. This officer subdued the Aradii, who had been besieged up to this time and had been reduced to hard straits by famine and disease, and also conquered in battle Antigonus, who had put to death the Roman guards that were with him, and reduced him by siege when he took refuge in Jerusalem. The Jews, indeed, had done Romans, for the race is very bitter when aroused to anger, but they suffered far more themselves. The first of them to be captured were those who were fighting for the precinct of their god, and then the rest on the day even then called the day of Saturn. And so excessive were they in their devotion to religion that the first set of prisoners, those who had been captured along with the temple, obtained leave from Sosius, when the day of Saturn came round again, and went up into the temple and there performed all the customary rites, together with the rest of the people. These people Antony entrusted to a certain Herod to govern; but Antigonus he bound to a cross and flogged, a punishment no other king had suffered at the hands of the Romans, and afterwards slew him." ~ Dio Cassius 49.22.2-6
It was C. Sosius who took Jerusalem in 37 BCE and placed Herod on the throne of Judea, in place of Antigonus. In 34 he not only celebrated a triumph on this date for capturing Jerusalem, he was also consul.That year he began construction of the Temple of Apollo Medicus (later called the Temple of Apollo Sosianus). It was not until after Actium and his pardon by Augustus than Sosius completed and dedicated this temple in the Campus Martius.
The Flamen Dialis
Much of the month of September being devoted to the Ludi Romani in honor of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, we shall be looking at the chief priest of Jupiter, the flamen Dialis. The Flamen Dialis was an ex officio member of the Senate, given the privileges of wearing a toga praetexta, having a sella curulis in the Senate, and the services of a lictor. He was chosen by the Pontifex Maximus to hold his office for life. The qualifications were that he had to be of the patrician order, a son of a marriage consecrated in the special rite of confarreatio, and be married by the same rite. One duty of the Flamen Dialis and his wife was to preside over rites of confarreatio. Every day involved a religious ceremony for him to perform. As such, there were several taboos placed upon him so that he remained in ritual purity at all times. It is some of these taboos that we shall examine throughout this month.
"He does not lay off his inner tunic except under cover, in order that he may not be naked in the open air, as it were under the eyes of Jupiter." ~ Aulus Gellius, Noctes Atticae 10.15.20
"Why is it not allowed the priest of Jupiter (Flamen Dialis) to anoint himself in the open air? Is it because it used not to be proper or decent for sons to strip in their father's sight, nor a son-in law in the presence of his father-in law, nor in ancient days did they bathe together? Now Jupiter is our father, and whatever is in the open air is in some way thought to be particularly in his sight.
"Or, just as it is against divine ordinance to strip oneself in a shrine or a temple, so also did they scrupulously avoid the open air and the space beneath the heavens, since it was full of Gods and spirits? Wherefore also we perform many necessary acts under a roof, hidden and concealed by our houses from the view of Divine powers.
"Or are some regulations prescribed for the priest alone, while others are prescribed for all by the law through the priest? Wherefore also, in my country, to wear a garland, to wear the hair long, not to have any iron on one's person, and not to set foot within the boundaries of Phocis, are the special functions of an archon; but not to taste fruit before the autumnal equinox nor to prune a vine before the vernal equinox are prohibitions disclosed to practically all alike through the archon; for those are the proper seasons for each of these acts.
"In the same way, then, it is apparently a special obligation of the Roman priest also not to use a horse nor to be absent from the city more than three nights nor to lay aside the cap from which he derives the name of flamen. But many other regulations are revealed to all through the priest, and one of them is the prohibition not to anoint oneself in the open air. For the Romans used to be very suspicious of rubbing down with oil, and even to day they believe that nothing has been so much to blame for the enslavement and effeminacy of the Greeks as their gymnasia and wrestling-schools, which engender much listless idleness and waste of time in their cities, as well as paederasty and the ruin of the bodies of the young men with regulated sleeping, walking, rhythmical movements, and strict diet; by these practices they have unconsciously lapsed from the practice of arms, and have become content to be termed nimble athletes and handsome wrestlers rather than excellent men-at arms and horsemen. It is hard work, at any rate, when men strip in the open air, to escape these consequences; but those who anoint themselves and care for their bodies in their own houses commit no offence." ~ Plutarch Roman Questions 40
AUC 666 to 742 / 87 to 11 BCE: Office of Flamen Dialis Remained Vacant for Seventy-Five Years
"Sevius Maluginensis, the flamen Dialis, demanded to have Asia allotted to him. 'It was, he asserted, `a popular error that it was not lawful for the flamines Dialis to leave Italy; in fact, his own legal position did not differ from that of the flamen Martialis and of the flamen Quirinalis. If these latter had provinces allotted to them, why was it forbidden to the flamen Dialis? There were no resolutions of the people or anything to be found in the books of ceremonies on the subject. Pontiffs had often performed the rites of Jupiter when his priest was hindered by illness or by public duty. For seventy-five years after the suicide of Cornelius Merula no successor to his office had been appointed; yet religious rites had not ceased. If during so many years it was possible for there to be no appointment without any prejudice to religion, with what comparative ease might he be absent for one year's proconsulate? That these priests in former days were prohibited by the pontiffs from going into the provinces was the result of private feuds. Now, thank the Gods, the Pontifex Maximus was also the princeps and was influence by no rivalry, hatred, or personal feelings.'" ~ P. Cornelius Tacitus, Annales 3.58
There has always been a question as to why such an important priesthood should have remained vacant for so long. The way it began is quite clear.
"In that stormy time of the republic L. Conelius Merula too, Consularius and flamen Dialis, not wishing to expose himself to the mockery of the insolent victors, severed his veins in the sanctuary of Jupiter, thus escaping the insults of life through death. The most ancient altar (of Jupiter) was thus drenched with the blood of His own priest." ~ Valerius Maximus 9.12.5
In 87 BCE the elected Consul Cornelius Cinna regained control of Rome from the usurpation of Sulla. Soon after Cinna was joined by the ever popular Marius. Merula supported Sulla. In spite of this Cinna and Marius did not act against Merula, because he was the flamen Dialis. Due to his office, he was unable to leave Rome, which left him in the City of his enemies and open to ridicule from the public. Rather than continue in his situation, as he was unable to leave the City, Merula chose suicide. But how he did it proved to be a major sacrilege because he threw himself onto the altar of Jupiter, thereby making his suicide into a human sacrifice. The temple precinct had to be purified and a new flamen Dialis selected. Cinna and Marius chose a young patrician for the office – Gaius Julius Caesar. Marius was married to Caesar's aunt. Caesar himself was married to Cinna's daughter. Caesar's connections to the Consuls Cinna and Marius may explain his selection on political grounds, but it does not explain the role of the pontifex maximus as would have been normal. In any event Sulla returned before Caesar was consecrated into the office. Sulla overturned all other appointments made by his enemies and slaughtered much of the Senate. Between the purges of Sulla and those made by Cinna and Marius there were not many patricians left to fill the priestly offices that were traditionally prerogatives of their order. Sulla did not nullify Caesar's appointment. Instead he demanded that Caesar divorce Cinna's daughter before he would allow Caesar to be consecrated. Caesar refused. Sulla did not eliminate Caesar, he also did not allow Caesar to be consecrated into office. Never the less Caesar was the designated flamen Dialis and nothing, it would seem, could alter his position.
This situation poses a problem for modern historians. It would seem that just as Marius refrained from killing Merula, Sulla was unable, or unwilling, to kill Caesar because, although not consecrated, Caesar was in some way thought to be the flamen Dialis. We know that as long as he lived, no one was appointed flamen Dialis. When Caesar was elected pontifex maximus, and thus he could have appointed someone to the office, he never did. Just before his assassination Caesar was criticized for adopting the wearing of the purple robes of a king, but we should recall that as pontifex maximus, and more so as the flamen Dialis, Caesar would have worn purple. It would seem that he was beginning to combine his political and religious offices in a manner that Augustus would later exhibit to enhance his position.
When Caesar died Lepidus was chosen to replace him as pontifex maximus. Even after Lepidus revolted, Augustus did not remove him from office or execute him, just as Marius and Sulla had been reluctant to remove priests from their offices. Why Lepidus did not appoint another to replace Caesar as the designated flamen Dialis is unclear. After Lepidus died and Augustus replaced him as pontifex maximus, Augustus then appointed a flamen Dialis as part of his Restoration of the religio Romana. No doubt he painted this as the restoration of an office that had been neglected, but there would seem to have something else involved for those seventy-five years, and, as Tacitus relates, even though the office was not officially filled, the rites of Jupiter were continued uninterrupted.
Our thought for today comes from Epicurus, Vatican Saying 39
"Neither he who is always seeking material aid from his friends nor he who never considers such aid is a true friend; for one engages in petty trade, taking a favor instead of gratitude, and the other deprives himself of hope for the future."
