Salve ALL


Can a new citizen of Nova Roma be both a priest and a soldier ? My
interest are in with both professions. It is hard for me to choose just
one, but if I must choose only one - I will choose to be a priest.

I see a need for a strong centralized religion, in Nova Roma.
Religion unifies people and drives in them a strong desire to behave
accordingly to their God(s) beliefs. I would do my best as a priest,
serving Ianus, if given a chance.

The more I study , as a student majoring in classical
civilizations, the greater my desire to build a society based on the
virtues of ancient Rome and of Nova Roma. As a new citizen I 'm not sure
how and when individuals are elected . Can anyone lend me some useful
advice?


Fortuna Fortibus Favet.

I 'm sorry if my latin is not perfect-- I' m still in the process of
learning it . I did read and constitution and I even printed it out, but
still there appears to be allot of gray area. So please, stop throwing
stones at me, I'm doing my best, we all make mistakes--- even the best
Romans.

Be Well!

Hello Dexippus,

All things considered- it's probably more beneficial if you
distribute flyers. We need more doers and less talkers. It fun to speak latin all
afternoon , at the market, but that doesn't gain new citizens for Nova Roma . I,
like yourself ,see the need for distributing flyers; we all ( Nova Roma ) reap the
rewards.

Hello,

HOLD the bust!!!! Are we daydreaming or am I going insane? The idea
of creating a bust can wait till Nova Roma is more established. We are placing
the cart before the horse. First, lets get a homeland, to build this micronation,
and then worry about the BUST.

Thanks

Thanks for the support. I handed out about 50 flyers last night. I'm going
back to the festival this afternoon and hope to hand out the other 150. I'll
keep you all posted. So far, they were graciously accepted. One person did
ask me what "Pagan" means and when I explained it to her she just smiled and
walked away with the flyer.

All right, DEX! You'll get the Civic Crown or something for this!
