I think that she should not list anything. Religion is a free choice of the
individual. Crys will introduce Lapis to the Religio Romana, and then, when
in the proper age, he can choose his path. This is my personal opinion...
Although if listing is required my vote goes to Religio Romana.
Valete!

Question - Nova Roma Stamps |

Salvete,
I'm working on producing some "commemorative stamps" for Nova Roma, and have a
Latin Language question for anyone out there who might be able to help.
Micronations often produce their own Postage Stamps for commemorative
purposes. Such stamps are often put on correspondence next to "official" post
office postage, etc. There is even a fairly large specific collector field
that relates to Micronational stamps!
After a good deal of searching I believe that I can provide stamps of this
nature for Nova Roma. The only problem is that I have no idea what they should
say! "Nova Roma Postage"? "Nova Roma Mail"? Something else? I have NO clue
how to translate such terms. Usually commemorative stamps also have a monetary
denomination... I'm thinking "One Denarius" (I DENARI)?
Anyway, if done right, these things will make nice collectibles, and would
also be a way to "advertise" Nova Roma a bit with each piece of mail that goes
out. Please Email me personally if you have some suggestions as to stamp
wording!
Valete,
Marcus Cassius Julianus

The plural for Letter Carriers is "Tabellari" Singular (Postman) would be
"Tabellarius" Station would be "Statio" Letter would be "Tabellario
litteras"
There will have to some form of compounding here. I'd just say Nova Roma
Tabellari.
Careful with money. We have to set up a currency. As far as we know, we
haven't.
Something else for the steering committee to do.
Vale!

Salve Cassius;
Since we are Nova Roma, why not use that name. If you wish to give it a
little Pizazz, Use the term Imperial Post or Nova Roma Post. Most
people associae with Imperial Rome and if we are constrained to
correctness that is a function of Roman Civilization that was active. I
don't know what the charge was for an Imperial Post Letter / Message but
I suspect that it was significant from Rome to Germany or to Britannia,
Jeruselum, etc.. I think the idea is a great one, and perhaps a stamp
for each of the major parts of the Roman Culture should be attempted:
Military--Gladius;
Law--Rods and Axes;
History--Scroll;
Engineering--Bridge or Aqueduct;
Religio--;
Senate--;
Etc.
Very Respectfully;
Marcus Minucius Audens
Fair Winds and Following Seas!!!

Warning. I got in late and I just skimmed this post and some
replies.
For images you can check out the coinage. There are the
personifications of the Virtues. And all sorts of stuff. Deities,
etc., etc. (I'd get a scanner if I had the Room for it.)
Religion can be a temple or one of our many deities. For a very
first stamp there is Janus. Eh?
