C. Petronius Dexter Pontifex Maximus omnibus Quiritibus salutem dicit plurimam,

Today morning, capite velato, I invoked Iuno Covella by saying the traditional formula:

Die te quinti kalo, Iuno Covella"
"Die te quinti kalo, Iuno Covella"
"Die te quinti kalo, Iuno Covella"
"Die te quinti kalo, Iuno Covella"
"Die te quinti kalo, Iuno Covella"

I offered incense and saying prayers I asked the Goddess to be favorable toward us, the Quirites of Nova Roma.
This month the nundinal letter is "C".
The festivals to be celebrated in the month of Aprilis shall be:

Reminder from:		Nova-Roma Yahoo! Group
Title:		After every Kalends, Nones, Ides, the next day is "Ater"
Date:		Saturday June 2, 2012
Time:		All Day
Repeats:		This event repeats every month.
Notes:		Ater (unlucky) *Gods or Goddesses should not be invoked by name while indoors, and no celestial God or Goddess should be invoked by name while outdoors. *Sacrifices should not be made, even at the lararium. *These days are ill-omened to begin any new project since any new project would necessarily begin by performing a rite calling for the assistance of the gods. Such religious rites, beginning something new, are not to be performed. *Avoid making journeys, or doing anything risky.

Gaius Tullius Valerianus Germanicus Augur Consul omnibus in his foris S.P.D.

Salvete omnes! Welcome back to the Roman Virtues Project. Despite
popular demand for the return of these discussions, I was unable to resume
posting these until fairly recently for a variety of reasons. I intend to
resume posting, in a similar format to the previous discussions, but on a
different timetable - instead of once per macronational week, I'm going to
try to post on or around the market-day by the nundinal calendar. So every
nundina, on the market day, join me in the forum to resume our chats about
the Roman virtues and what they mean to us and for us today.

*"Moribus antiquis res stat Romana virisque" - *Ennius, *Annales* Book 18
"The Roman state stands firm on its ancient morals and heroes"

Roman Virtue: *Gravitas*
**
Our website says of *Gravitas: "Gravity" A sense of the importance of the
matter at hand, responsibility and earnestness.*
**
*The Oxford Latin Dictionary defines Gravitas as it relates to Roman virtue
thus:*
*"5. Severity in one's treatment of others, sternness, harshness. b. strictness
of life or morals, austerity. c. grievousness (of punishment, affliction,
etc.)*
* 6. Seriousness of conduct, speech, temperment, etc., gravity, dignity,
solemnity, etc. b. seriousness of approach (to a task, etc.), earnestness. c.
solemnity, majesty (of a speaker or writer, his language, etc.)*
* 7. Authority, influence, importance (of a person, institution,
etc.). b. weightiness,
magnitude (of a task, etc.)*
* 8. (in an unfavourable sense) Serious or alarming nature, gravity,
formidableness (esp. of diseases, wounds)"*
**
* So what does that mean for us, as Nova Romans, in our understanding
of what it means to be Roman? Although we all like to have fun, the
traditional Roman view was that too much levity was a vice. Publicly, and
when acting in a public capacity, the virtue of gravitas means that a Roman
is expected to treat matters with the proper dignity and solemnity. Since
none of us would be in Nova Roma if we didn't enjoy it (it is a voluntary
organization, after all - if you're not enjoying it, well, don't let the
door hit you on the way out!), it can be difficult to remember that
traditional Roman austerity, since many of us think of Nova Roma as "fun."
But in my opinion, that Roman gravitas is meant for actions in public and
on the public's behalf. It's appropriate to the occasion. It means you
can't be wacky and zany during a religious rite, or a legal proceeding, or
an official action of any kind. But in the course of a game, or a private
banquet, or what have you, plenty of Romans would have considered it no
vice to enjoy yourself, crack jokes, and yes, some wackiness might even
ensue. *
* I tend to think there is an importance to keeping gravitas in mind at
all times, however. It was part of what made Rome great, at least in their
own view of their rise to greatness. This is partly seen through the rosy
lenses of ideology, of course, but the Romans of later times tended to
think that the earliest Romans exhibited gravitas at all times, and thus
survived and flourished, when other peoples perished. But in later,
imperial times, when the mob became obsessed with "bread and circuses" in
Juvenal's memorable phrase, when the ludi became the only thing of
importance to the average Roman, Rome declined and fell. There were not
enough citizens left who took seriously the business of keeping Rome great.
the hard work, like soldiering, had been delegated to Gothic mercenaries.
The citizens of Rome didn't go in for austerity anymore. And so they
perished. *
* As I said, a traditional, and not entirely accurate, view of things,
but one that contains just enough truth that it should give us pause. *
**
* What are your thoughts? What is gravitas to you, what is its
importance, how does it shape your daily behavior? I look forward to
hearing from you!*
**

Salvete!

Gravitas has its Portuguese descendant gravidade (gravity), meaning weight, importance, intensity, dignity (figuratively), and is the name used by Physics to describe the attractive property exerted by the earth over the bodies. I think that is more than importance, is to know the importance, and to give due importance to every thing. Two weights and two measures. By the Physics definition, could be the attractive property exerted by the family, homeland and gods over the members, citizens and cultores, what keeps the home, society and cosmos united and gives weight to things, and this weight is what gives meaning to ethics, honor and duty.

Salvete!

Dear Collegium Pontificum, dear Caeca Virgo Vestalis, I salute you and come here to make a suggestion for Vestalia. During the festival we could build a temporary page on the wiki, with and animation of the sacred fire of Vesta, and with a form to receive prayers, thanks and honors to Vesta. The form could send the requests to Caeca's inbox and, under her moderation, she could publish the request at the same page on the wiki, bellow the animation. It would be a unique and multilingual page, so Caeca's must count with our help to understand the content of the message, but the messages could be publish the way they were written. When the Vestalia end we could hide the page, or just hide the animation and keep the page with the requests.

If you need help to implement the form, and to create the animation, you can count on me.

Bene valete!

It looks good and not very expensive, at least the digital version, but I
would like to know the opinions of other people who may know it.

Salve Tribune!

Please forgive my slowness in answering this suggestion.I very much like your idea, at least for the most part. As I understand tradition, while the doors of the Eads Vestalis were opened during the Vestalia, the inner temple, which contained the sacred fire, was not, although fire was given to any woman or mother who brought an offering of food. So ...if we do have an animation of a flame, perhaps it should be a torch or candle, symbolizing the fire given by Dea Vesta to those who request it. The prayers, however, are a wonderful idea, and I shall offer them throughout the festival.

Having said that, I have absolutely no idea how to create or maintain a WIKI page, or create an animation. If I can get help with these things, I would very much like to se this done.

Vale et valete!
C. Maria Caeca, Virgo Vestalis in Nova Roma.

Assunto: [Nova-Roma] Magazine Ancient Warfare


 
Salvete omnes,

Does anyone here knows the magazine Ancient Warfare?

It looks good and not very expensive, at least the digital version, but I
would like to know the opinions of other people who may know it.

Valete optime,

Crassus

Salve!

I went looking through their website and noticed that applicants must be male. Apparently they also only accept up to 40 students each year, but my source for that is wikipedia. There are a number of behavioural requirements while one is studying there that can be found on their website under on the admissions page.

Valete!!!

It's my understanding that those in the summer school must be male
because the students are housed in a monastery during that session.
Apparently that is not the case during the regular academic year. The truth
is, however, that the overwhelming majority of Latinists in Western Europe
is male, whereas that is not necessarily true elsewhere. Likewise, too, the
citizenry of Nova Roma was over 80% male at the last census where gender was
noted (2007).

This is a very, very rigorous (and expensive) program. I would expect
that the behavior should be in keeping with that. The students are not
there to fool around, but to learn. I am correcting exams and in any case
rarely go trolling about the net, but may look into this later.

A. Tullia Scholastica quiritibus, sociis, peregrinisque bonae voluntatis
S.P.D.

This seems to be a good time to mention that we of the Schola, an entity
independent of Nova Roma but once affiliated with it when we worked with the
Academia Thules, offer Latin classes taught by two different methods,
assimilation and traditional. The traditional-method classes use the
popular Wheelock text, and require memorization of vocabulary, paradigms,
and syntactic information, toward which end they have weekly written
homework and a final examination each semester. I also add more modern
methods derived from Latin immersion and other similar experiences.

The assimilation method courses rely on repetition of phrases and
sentences to instill the language in the minds of the learners. It is quite
effective, but I have found that in general it works best with those who
already have some knowledge of Latin. It is intended to produce fluency in
Latin, both written and spoken. It works, but as above, some get confused
unless they already have a background in Latin. For that reason I recommend
that only those who have taken Latin at some point (and remember enough of
it) should take the assimilation method Sermo Latinus courses. It is best
to start with the traditional-method Grammatica Latina ones unless one has
had respectable college-level Latin, not the namby-pamby stuff foisted off
on the unsuspecting these days. The Sermo courses also have written
homework, but less of it in the first year, and have two lovely tests each
year to ensure that the students have made progress in learning this
language.

The text for Grammatica Latina I and Grammatica Latina II is Wheelock¹s
Latin, by Frederic Wheelock, revised by Richard LaFleur; that for the new
Grammatica Latina III course is Wheelock¹s Latin Reader, by the same
authors. The latter is a short (approximately 10 week) course in readings
for those who have completed either Sermo Latinus II or Grammatica Latina II
or the equivalent at the college level. Wheelock is very popular, and
should be available at just about any college bookstore where Latin is
taught; I recommend the newer Seventh Edition, but the Sixth is also
acceptable.

The text for Sermo Latinus I, Sermo Latinus II, and the accelerated
Combined Sermo Latinus I&II, is Le Latin Sans Peine, by Clement Desessard,
which is available in its Italian translation as something like Il Latino
senza Sforzo. The Italian text and the new mandatory sound files are
available from Assimil in Italy (apparently not from Assimil in France; they
seem to have suffered a commissurotomy, and do not know what each other is
doing). We supply translations of the text into English and Spanish for
students who do not read either French or Italian, and have had students for
whom none of the above is a native language.

If any of you is interested in taking our Latin courses, please let me
know. Sermo I and Grammatica I are now open for registration, and the
Combined class soon will be. All students must obtain the text for their
respective courses before being allowed to register, and must prove that to
the satisfaction of the schola registrar. Sermo students must also obtain
the CDs as homework and examination questions are based on the sound files
contained therein as well as on those onsite.

We might be able to offer the introductory non-Latin course, Rudimenta
Latina, in late winter or early Spring, but that is still a maybe. That is
a nine to ten week course requiring no written homework and no genuine
knowledge of Latin; we used to offer it every quarter, but have not been
able to do so lately.

Valéte!

It's a slickly produced pictorial and taps into the growing interest of
Ancient Military History coupled in the rise of re enactors portraying that
history.
As an example I was able to contact an Iranian who does re enacting as a
3rd Century Sassanid Persian Cataphract. I could never had done this

It is expensive for the average person, but for the military historian it

Salve et salvete;

Those of you who use Gmail will see a profile picture of me with a
muted tortie cat sitting on me while I am napping.

She is Silver Kestrel the Ransacker; Miss Kessie or Sweet-a-mus for short.

She has been a part of our family for 12 years, which is over 1/5th of
the time I've been alive.

Miss Kessie is dying of an intestinal lymphoma and there is nothing we
can do but ease the time she has left.

At her healthiest, Kessie weighed a little over 14 pounds. She is now
about 6 1/2.

Her appetite and energy wax and wane as each day passes, but her eyes
remain clear, her mind is alert and she still shows us affection, as
if we are the ones in need of healing.

She lives each day as it comes, with acceptance and grace, a lesson we
can well learn.

I think Marcus Aurelius would deem her a fellow Stoic.

Let those you love know it, now.

Vale et valete - Venator

Ave!

I don't usually add a me too to posting....but yeah I am going to add a
second to this!

Only a few people in NR know....I have been dealing with the recent passing
of my cat...my child...Cornelius who I had for almost 13 years...He entered
my life as a Birthday gift as a gift from my fiancee Greta (Prima Cornelia
Pulchra) and we were inseparable every single day. From the move from
California to Arizona he was with me....when Greta and I separated and her
ultimate passing Cornelius was a remembrance of what I once had. And when
I had the trauma of multiple breakin's he somehow miraculously survived
when my other kitten was murdered. I took care of him when he had urinary
problems early in his life..and he had always been a healthy cat...who just
about loved everyone once he got to know them. He was the rex of the
house. He was my baby boy....and even now almost a month after his passing
I still miss him being next to me when wake up in the morning and im
getting ready for work.....or demanding attention when he wanted it..or
standing on his hind legs acting like a prairie dog when something grabbed
his attention. And, the house is profoundly sad with his absence....and I
am still sad and depressed that I don't have the joy of seeing him anymore
than the pictures I have on my iphone..and G-d I wish that I had taken so
many more photos of my baby. So yeah, I can't say without any more
strength how much I agree with Venii's sentiment.

Vale,

Sulla

Gaius Tullius Valerianus Germanicus Augur Consul omnibus in his foris S.P.D.
Salvete omnes! Welcome to the Roman Virtues Project - an ongoing
exploration and discussion of the Roman virtues and what it means to be
Roman, undertaken by the citizens and prospective citizens of Nova Roma! I
intend to post a new topic in the Roman Virtue Project on or around the
market day once every nundinal period (check the *fasti *at
http://novaroma.org/nr/Fasti_MMDCCLXV if you're not sure when the next *nundina
*is)
Roman Virtue: *Honestas*
**
Our website says of *Honestas: "Respectibility" The image that one presents
as a respectable member of society.*
**
*The Oxford Latin Dictionary defines Honestas as it relates to Roman virtue
thus:*
*"1. Title to respect, honourableness, honour.*
* 2. Moral rectitude, integrity.*
* 3. Decency, seemliness."*
**
*So what does this mean for us as Nova Romans today?*
**
* Well, it is probably obvious that the English word "honesty" derives
from honestas, but the concept is not exactly the same. The Latin concept
of honestas includes much more the idea of being honorable, respectable,
and so forth - at some times being almost synonymous with being of high
social rank (i.e., regardless of one's actual behavior or character, one
might have honestas simply by being well-born . . . confusing good
character with "good" breeding). But the core idea is moral integrity that
earns one respect and an aura of decency.*
**
* While most of us can probably agree to the rather vague principle
that in the field of virtues and ethics, people who behave well deserve
respect. But I think that the demands of Romanitas are not quite so vague
- it is an obligation to act with decency, so that no one has cause to
question one's virtue, and the obligation to respect those who live their
lives with virtue. Of course, one cannot please everyone, nor should one
try to do so - as has been observed many times, if you have no enemies,
you've probably never stood for anything. But honestas generally depends on
a more generalized view of respectability and honor. Cato the Elder of
ancient Rome certainly had honestas, though he certainly had enemies. But
everyone could agree that he tried to live with probity and respect the
life lived with honor. *
**
* What are your thoughts on honestas? Who are the paragons and
exemplars of honestas from Roma Antiqua and Nova Roma? I look forward to
hearing your ideas!*

Roman Virtue: Humanitas

Our website says of Humanitas: "Humanity" Refinement, civilization,
learning, and being cultured.



The Oxford Latin Dictionary defines Humanitas as it relates to Roman virtue
thus:
"1. Human nature or character
2. The quality distinguishing civilized man from savages or beasts,
civilization, culture
3. Humane character, kindness, human feeling"


So what does this mean for us as Nova Romans today?

"Humanitas" gives us the English word "humanity," of course, but how
is being human a virtue? The key here is in the OLD's 2nd definition - "the
quality distinguishing civilized man from savages or beasts" - *humanity *as
opposed to *savagery, *the condition of wild beasts. So *humanitas *for the
Romans contains a sense of what makes communal living and community
possible - kindness, respect for fellow human beings, willingness to
sacrifice for others and put the *res publica, *the common interest, ahead
of personal interest. It is easy to lose sight of this as an essential
Roman virtue if one focuses too much on the towering figures of the late
Republic who put themselves ahead of the *res publica - *thus ensuring the
end of the Republic and, ultimately, the longer slumber of Romanitas from
which we in Nova Roma hope to awaken it. A true Roman Republic, and
true *Romanitas,
*can only tolerate a lack of *humanitas *so far before all is lost

What are your thoughts on *humanitas*? Who are the paragons and
exemplars of *humanitas* from Roma Antiqua and Nova Roma? I look forward to
hearing your ideas!

I would have to go with in the sense of Antiquity definitely Marcus
Aurelius. As far as Nova Roma I would have to say both V. Aemilia Regilla
and Cn. Lentulus both work extremely hard within their provincia's to
promote Romanitas to not just fellow NR cives but to everyone without
hardly any acknowledgements or personal gain. I'd say that is definitely
Humanitas at work.

A. Tullia Scholastica quiritibus, tironibus, sociis, peregrinisque bonae
voluntatis S.P.D.

As noted earlier, we teach Latin via two different methods, and will add
an advanced class in the traditional method this year. All classes are now
open and available for registration, though prospective students must have
the required texts in hand before being allowed to register.

The traditional-method Grammatica Latina I and II classes use the
popular and easily obtainable Wheelock text, Wheelock¹s Latin, by Frederic
Wheelock and revised by Richard LaFleur. Either the sixth or seventh
edition is acceptable, though we recommend the Seventh, which has many
additional features helpful to the student. Traditional-method language
classes require memorization of vocabulary, paradigms, and syntactical rules
as well as weekly written homework, which is individually corrected, but not
graded. The new ten-week long advanced Grammatica Latina III readings
course uses Wheelock¹s Latin Reader: Selections from Latin Literature, by
the same authors. As one might expect, there are prerequisites for this
advanced course; one must have completed Grammatica II or Sermo II or Sermo
Combined, or at least two to three years of college Latin. There is no
genuine grammar instruction in this course; it is assumed that the students
already know the bulk of Latin grammar. Vocabulary instruction is minimal,
geared solely to the readings at hand. As this course is short, there will
be only one final examination.

The assimilation-method Sermo Latinus I, Sermo Latinus II, and Combined
Sermo Latinus I & II (one year accelerated course) use Le Latin sans Peine,
by Clement Desessard, also available as Il Latino senza Sforzo. We provide
translations of the text into both English and Spanish for those who do not
know either French or Italian. The French text was taken out of print some
years ago, but some students have been able to obtain it nonetheless. The
Italian one was reprinted by the beginning of last academic year; it and the
mandatory sound files (CDs) have been available from Assimil in Italy for
the past several months. The Sermo courses are geared to producing fluency
in reading, writing, and speaking (yes, speaking) Latin, and are very
effective at that. However, I have found that although some individuals do
well by this method as their first acquaintance with Latin, this method
works best for those who already know some Latin, so I generally recommend
that one enter Sermo with some pre-knowledge of Latin. All Sermo courses
have written homework or a test after every seventh lesson; in the separate
Sermo courses, new lessons appear every three days, and in the accelerated
one, every other day, weekends and national holidays included. The separate
courses have a midterm and a final; the accelerated one has four
examinations corresponding to a midterm and a final for each of the two
courses contained therein.

The Grammatica Latina I course will begin on August 27th, but not have
homework during the first week; the Sermo I and Sermo II courses will begin
on September 24th, and the Combined one on September 17th. Later this
academic year we may be able to offer the pre-Latin Rudimenta Latina short
course and / or a second readings course, but those matters have not yet
been determined.

Anyone who wishes to register for one of our Latin courses should
contact me privately.

Valete.

Salvete omnes,

I have just read about the storm in western USA. I hope everyone is ok

Salve Magistra,

You are right, I meant eastern USA. In the news they were talking about 3
million without electricity and 10 casualties due the storms.

I hope everyone from NR is ok.

Vale optime,
Crassus
