Salvete,
I would be happy to meet with you along your journey, should you be in
the
Pa/NJ area. I'm sure Dex would be just as happy to receive you, though I
can't speak on his behalf. Perhaps we could all get together along with
a
group from the Mid-Atlantic Province.
It's interesting that all this has come up when I've been recently
pondering how nice it would be if there was a branch of Nova Roma
central
to my area where there could be gatherings for ritual and socialization
(together or separately). I just don't think there are enough people
within
a reasonable distance to do such. Even Dex lives two hours away from me.
Everyone should just move here to Philadelphia. After all, this was the
birthplace of America. I don't see why it couldn't be the same for a
physical Nova Roma :-)
Valete,
Orbianna

Salvete Omnes...
Its been a while since the Back alley has advertisted on the main
list... I think it might be time for a brief advertisment. If you are
intersted in being a subscriber to the back ally, please e-mail me. If
you want to have fun, talk of things that you would not even talk of on
the main list, such as off color subjects relating to Rome, humor, off
jokes, or even a good receipe now and then. Then this might be
something you might be interested.

I agree with you. In Nova Roma we cannot be limited to the administration of
ancient Rome as reality is now different and we have new Provinciae. Let
Praetor or Propraetor be the title of the governor. My reasons are the
following:
But I'd like to put some doubts concerning a past email which listed
epigraphical titles found in Lusitania:
1st - Lusitania bacame an independent Provincia only during the reign of
Augustus. Until then it made part of the Provincia Ulterior which was
governed by a Praetor. On occasions of crisis (namely during the war against
the Lusitani of Viriato) a Consul or Proconsul was assigned.
2nd - After Augustus, Lusitania was administrated by a Procurator Provinciae
Lusitaniae whose role was little more than collecting taxes, and (as Q.
Fabius Maximus explained me) was subject to the Proconsul of Provincia
Tarraconnensis. Epigraphies of Legati Augusti pro Praetore Lusitaniae
Provinciae may be one of two things:
a) Legati Juridici who were below the Procurator and were responsible
for justice administration. Well, the problem is that no epigraphy says the
word 'Juridicus'.
b) A more honorific title of a Procurator who had commanded troops in
the past or troops stationed in another Provincia (recal that Lusitania was
'inermis' and as such had no troops stationed). I agree more with this
hipothesis. This is because (as Q. Fabius Maximus told me) army commanders
were precisely called Legati pro Praetore.
As Nova Roma is a Republic, I think that the title of Praetor and Propraetor
(after reappointment) are the most suitable.
Valete omnes!

To Gaius Marius Merullus from Q. Fabius Maximus
<< What does "Caligua" mean?>>
Gemanicus' son Gaius Caesar, was called Caligua because "... Caligula "Little
Boots" from an army jest, because he grew up among the legiones and wore the
miniature version of the legionary kit." Suetonius "The Twelve Caesars" IV,
9.
Germanicus was very popular among the Roman people. After his death, they
adopted Gaius as their own. After Tiberius died, he was made the Emperor of
Rome. He is often used as proof positive that "absolute power corrupts
absolutly."
Farrell's view is, Gaius, as one of the first real princes of Rome, raised as
such, within the Imperial Family, the seeds of the insanity were sowen at very
early age.
Out of 11 boys all possible canidates to the Purple, only Gaius survived.
Fear of
assingnation, seduced by both men and women, every whim induldged, Gaius
Caesar all ready came to the Curail Chair unbalnced. Absolute power had
nothing to do with it.
Read the book. Arthur Farrell is a fine writer, and I studied under him
briefly.
The Book's title is "Caligula- Emperor of Rome" ISBN 88-51351
In an other story, the Byzantine site, <a href="http://marbletower.freehosting.net/" target="_top" >http://marbletower.freehosting.net/</a> has
used my monograph on the Middle Byzantine Army. Interested people can read it
at

are not complete yet, so all that is there is the text.

You can now use Web links to Roman related sites from the Lusitania Web Page. It includes those sites on Ancient religion which I found most interesting... Some of you may even have a surprise... =)
