True, with the basic colors of red, yellow, and blue one can create
any color under the sun. A multi-colored tunic was most likely woven
using individually colored threads rather than dying a whole piece of
cloth (I am not aware of tie-dye being fashionable before the 60's,
but I may be wrong <grin>) At the time of hand weaving this would
take considerable time and effort, not to mention such a tunic would
be rather expensive and out of the reach of the common person.

accept the victory placed in our hands by the goddess Ceres. We wish
to acknowledge Titus Octavius Pius and the brave match fought by his

I wonder if researcing egyptian and greek textiles might shed some light on
this subject? I figure that if the Greeks and Egyptians could do it, then
the Romans would have naturally copied the methodology. Seeing as there are
no remains of Roman textiles to examine, perhaps there are textiles in other
cultures during the same time period that survived?

Well, I try to find out as much as possible, and there is nothing that keeps
me from looking into the more expensive tunics as well as the cheapest possible.
The more information there is, the better. Thanks very much to everybody,
who has or will post on this issue.

Salvete Omnes:

I just wanted to add my voice in congratulating Curule Aedile Amulius
Claudius Petrus, and his Scriba, Lucilla Cornelia Cinna, on all the
work they have put into this beautiful festival.

I logged into the chatroom last night, but, unfortunately, it seems I
missed everyone by 'inches'. I will try again.

And, well, I didn't get selected for the glad combats....oh, well.
Admittedly, I am not very good at submitting the proper forms, and, I
realize that after giving my 'awesome' qualifications, it was
probably better just to exclude me, to keep the combat encounters a
little more even. I can certainly understand this, and I sure
wouldn't want anything deviating from fair play, here :) :)

Thanks Claudi et Luci for all your great work.

Subject: [novaroma] Some Thoughts on the Census
From: "pompeia_cornelia" <trog99@hotmail.com>
Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2002 13:49:53 -0000
Salvete Omnes:

Just some ideas about the proposed Census.

If costs were kept to a minimum, I think the Census would provide us
with a wealth of demographic information regarding Nova Roma.

I do not worry about one or two or three who would actually try to be
more than one person for whatever reason...granted the system is not
perfect, but I think it is comprehensive enough to be useful. And
the bugs can be worked out as we go. I do not think of the Census as
a 'policing' thing, but more of an information collection vehicle.

And this information is not exclusive to tax information. As others
have mentioned, the information from the Census would assist in the
projection of tax monies receivable and would enable us to atleast
budget on a ball park basis. Very true.

Aside from this, a Census would help us determine where,
geographically, the most growth is occurring in Nova Roma of active
citizens...where is the least, and therefore where do we need to
promote ourselves?

It would help determine how many minors perhaps, how many minor
citizens of citizens. How are we growing in this area?

Per se, one might ask, 'Why do we need to know all this?'. Right
now, we may not need this information, but the more we know about
ourselves as a community, the better we are able to make plans for
our growth, and moreover, the needs of groups of citizens of the
community. If we are aware of the special needs of a given province,
for example, these needs are more accurately taken into account by
the magistrates and Senate.

The census is not taken every year, and with the advent of the
computer, I am projecting that it could be handled quite smoothly,
with scribal assistance.

Getting back to cost of the census, this is, doubtless, a
consideration. But phone calls can be handled on a local/ provincial
level, or by someone who gets a special rate (like myself) long
distance charge. It is not as costly as one might think.

The Census is also quite historical of Roma Antiquita.

And, I know of no macronation who does not either a) do a census or
b) demographic studies of some sort. I don't see them surviving
cohesively, otherwise.

I think the effort would produce benefit in the long run.

Valete,
Pompeia Cornelia

From: "Antonio Grilo" <antonio.grilo@inov.pt>
Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2002 15:01:47 +0100
PONTIFEX ANTONIVS GRYLLVS GRAECVS OMNIBVS QVIRITIBVS SALVTEM

This is a dies nefastus publicus (NP), a day for special religious
observance on which no legal action or public business can take place.

This is the 4th day of the Ludi Cereris.

Today is the Fordicidia, a festival in honour of Tellus (Earth). At dawn, a
pregnant cow ('forda') is sacrificed to Tellus by the Pontifices on the
Capitol. Then thirty pregnant cows (one 'forda' for each Curia) are
sacrificed in honor of Tellus as well, in separate places. After the
victimarii (butchers who assist the sacrifice) have taken the calves from
the belly of their mother and entrails have been cut and offered in the
altar fire, the Chief Vestal burns the foetuses whose ashes are the
ingredient for the fumigations of the Parilia on April 21 [Ovidius, Fasti,
IV.629-672].
Ovidius also tells a legend that explains the beginning of the festival in
the reign of Numa:
"When Numa was king, the harvest did not answer to the labour bestowed on
it; the husbandman was deceived, and his prayers were offered in vain. For
at one time the year was dry, the north winds blowing cold; at another time
the fields were rank with ceaseless rain; often at its first sprouting the
crop balked its owner, and the light oats overran the chocked soil, and the
cattle dropped their unripe young before the time, and often the ewe
perished in giving birth to her lamb. There was an ancient wood, long
unprofaned by the axe, left sacred to the god Maenalus [the same as Pan,
here equated with the roman god Faunus]. He to the quiet mind gave answers
in the silence of the night. Here Numa sacrificed two ewes. The first fell
in honour of Faunus, the second fell in honour of Somnus [i.e. Sleep]: the
fleeces of both were spread on the hard ground. Twice the king's unshorn
head was sprinkled with water from a spring; twice he veiled his brows with
beechen leaves. He refrained from the pleasures of love; no flesh might be
served up to him at table; he might wear no ring on his fingers. Covered
with a rough garment he laid him down on the fresh fleeces after worshipping
the god [i.e. Faunus] in the appropriate words. Meantime, her calm brow
wreathed with poppies, Night drew on, and in her train brought darkling
dreams. Faunus was come, and settling his hard hoof on the sheep's fleeces
uttered these words on the right side of the bed: 'O King, thou must appease
Tellus by the death of two cows: let one heifer yeld two lives in
sacrifice.' Fear banished sleep: Numa pondered the visions, and revolved in
his mind the dark sayings and mysterious commands. His wife [Egeria], the
darling of the grove, extricated him from his doubts and said: 'What is
demanded of thee are the inwards of a pregnant cow'. The inwards of a
pregnant cow were offered; the year proved more fruitful, and earth and
cattle yielded their increase."

I agree that gathering demographic information is a good idea. As with any
study, however, the question of what information it is reasonable to gather
should be carefully considered.

I can see it doing that eventually, yes. A static "snapshot" won't do much
by itself, but a series of data points can indeed be interpolated.

For myself, I have no objection whatsoever to the census itself, and
actually believe it to be a good idea for the reasons you mention among
others. My objection applied only to the proposal to make everyone "prove"
their identity, which I do not believe to be feasible, useful, or necessary.

Subject: [novaroma] Cerialia Gladiator Combat III Titus vs Asterix
From: Amulius Claudius Petrus <pkkt@bconnex.net>
Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2002 17:55:21 -0400

Salvete cives et amici,

Last nights gladiator combat was a great success! My thanks to the many
citizens that joined me in the arena to enjoy the spectacles! Today we will
be having our fourth match. I welcome you all to join in tonight at 9:00 PM
ET in the Nova Roma chat room.


RECORD OF MATCH III:

Today is the third day of the Cerialia gladiator combats, and as your Junior
Curule Aedile, it is my pleasure to present to you todayıs match. The arena
is all prepared so I will now introduce todayıs competitors!

He is a curious blend of Roman and British blood, and this shows in his
unusual face. He lives in Britannia, but travels to Rome frequently. Thus
unable to find acceptance in society, he enjoys combat and chariot races.
This is the invincible Titus Sertorius Albinus, hired by citizen Servius
Cornelius Cato!

His opponent came from one of the last villages in Gaul to fall, and he was
found and put into slavery. He is also out to revenge his dead friend! This
is the the triumphant Asterix Vindicator, hired by citizen Sextus Apollonius
Scipio!

The two gladiators are now saluting the cheering audience and the officials.
I raise my hand and they take their positions. I drop my hand as a single
for the battle to begin and the fight starts!

Titus starts off the match by going into a defensive position.

Asterix quickly runs up to his opponent and stabs out with his sword. The
fast attack forces his opponent back a few steps, although he manages to
block the sword with his shield.

Titus responds by quickly dodging away from the attacker and putting more
space between him and his opponent.

Asterix slowly makes his way back over to Titus and suddenly unleashes at
powerful attack against him by stabbing at his chest. This attack is quickly
stopped by Titusı shield.

Titus, seeming quite calm but being very careful, searches for an
opportunity to attack. When one comes, he slashes, but is pushed back by the
sword of his opponent.

Asterix notices the undefended shoulder of his opponent and stabs outward,
although Titus manages to move his shield into a position to block.

Titus responds by being very careful. He glares at his opponent for a few
moments before finding the perfect opportunity and striking out against his
arm. His attack hits and a hideous gash is created on the left arm of
Asterix.

Asterix grabs his arm in a futile attempt to stop the bleeding and backs
away.

Titus does not let another opportunity escape and is quickly upon his
opponent again, and slashes this time at his chest. The sword scrapes across
the body of Asterix and he drops his shield and stumbles back.

Asterix continues to stumble around until he is able to take an unbalance
defence stance.

Titus also takes a defence stance, and waits for his opponent to collapse or
attack.

Asterix seems to regain his balance and is upon his opponent, quickly
stabbing at his chest. The sword hits the right shoulder of Titus disabling
his right arm.

Titus cringes and dodges away from Asterix, putting more room between the
two of them.

Asterix carefully approaches his opponent once again. He searches for an
undefended part of the body and quickly stabs at Titus. Titus is almost
pierced by the sword, but at the last possible moment, is able to block with
his shield.

Titus responds by doing the same. He carefully searches for an opportunity
and when he sees one he stabs out. The sword plunges into Asterix and the
match is ended!

Titus Sertorius Albinus and his sponsor Servius Cornelius Cato are
victorious! Congratulations to our newest champion in the gladiator combats!
The name of Servius Cornelius Cato will be posted in the ludi section of
NovaRoma.org under champions!

Valete,

Salvete cives et amici,

Last nights gladiator combat was a great success! My thanks to the many
citizens that joined me in the arena to enjoy the spectacles! Today we will
be having our fourth match. I welcome you all to join in tonight at 9:00 PM
ET in the Nova Roma chat room.


RECORD OF MATCH III:

Today is the third day of the Cerialia gladiator combats, and as your Junior
Curule Aedile, it is my pleasure to present to you todayıs match. The arena
is all prepared so I will now introduce todayıs competitors!

He is a curious blend of Roman and British blood, and this shows in his
unusual face. He lives in Britannia, but travels to Rome frequently. Thus
unable to find acceptance in society, he enjoys combat and chariot races.
This is the invincible Titus Sertorius Albinus, hired by citizen Servius
Cornelius Cato!

His opponent came from one of the last villages in Gaul to fall, and he was
found and put into slavery. He is also out to revenge his dead friend! This
is the the triumphant Asterix Vindicator, hired by citizen Sextus Apollonius
Scipio!

The two gladiators are now saluting the cheering audience and the officials.
I raise my hand and they take their positions. I drop my hand as a single
for the battle to begin and the fight starts!

Titus starts off the match by going into a defensive position.

Asterix quickly runs up to his opponent and stabs out with his sword. The
fast attack forces his opponent back a few steps, although he manages to
block the sword with his shield.

Titus responds by quickly dodging away from the attacker and putting more
space between him and his opponent.

Asterix slowly makes his way back over to Titus and suddenly unleashes at
powerful attack against him by stabbing at his chest. This attack is quickly
stopped by Titusı shield.

Titus, seeming quite calm but being very careful, searches for an
opportunity to attack. When one comes, he slashes, but is pushed back by the
sword of his opponent.

Asterix notices the undefended shoulder of his opponent and stabs outward,
although Titus manages to move his shield into a position to block.

Titus responds by being very careful. He glares at his opponent for a few
moments before finding the perfect opportunity and striking out against his
arm. His attack hits and a hideous gash is created on the left arm of
Asterix.

Asterix grabs his arm in a futile attempt to stop the bleeding and backs
away.

Titus does not let another opportunity escape and is quickly upon his
opponent again, and slashes this time at his chest. The sword scrapes across
the body of Asterix and he drops his shield and stumbles back.

Asterix continues to stumble around until he is able to take an unbalance
defence stance.

Titus also takes a defence stance, and waits for his opponent to collapse or
attack.

Asterix seems to regain his balance and is upon his opponent, quickly
stabbing at his chest. The sword hits the right shoulder of Titus disabling
his right arm.

Titus cringes and dodges away from Asterix, putting more room between the
two of them.

Asterix carefully approaches his opponent once again. He searches for an
undefended part of the body and quickly stabs at Titus. Titus is almost
pierced by the sword, but at the last possible moment, is able to block with
his shield.

Titus responds by doing the same. He carefully searches for an opportunity
and when he sees one he stabs out. The sword plunges into Asterix and the
match is ended!

Titus Sertorius Albinus and his sponsor Servius Cornelius Cato are
victorious! Congratulations to our newest champion in the gladiator combats!
The name of Servius Cornelius Cato will be posted in the ludi section of
NovaRoma.org under champions!

Valete,

Ave Marce,

Thanks for compiling this impressive list. Here's one more:

Today Nyon, Switzerland. The amphitheater was discovered in 1996.

Vale bene,
