Dear Quintus Fabius,

Thank you for your enlightening note. It was very interesting to read
it.
As I have taken the name of Gaius Iulius Caesar Dictator and am
particulary fond of Augustus (He is one of the patron deities of our
Gens), I feel as my duty to response to your note.

You wrote "The Republic of Rome only collapsed when millitar leaders
destroyed the authority of The Senate by using armies.....".

By my modest opinion using millitary force in policy during the I
cent. B.C. was a RESULT not a REASON. The Republic was not able to
resolve the social and political problems. Government was corrupt and
state administration unefficient.
So the reforms of Augustus have restored the normal function of
republican offices and have created effective state machine, able to
carry out the task of world power as Rome became. The defence of Rome
needed proffesional army and high qualified commanders.
Was "the classical Republic" able to asure that?

If history had thrown something it means there were reasons for that.

Yours

Alexander I.C. Probus M.

Salve, Gaius Julius Caesar Dictator! I am sorry to say you sent your E-,mail
to the wrong address. You have reached Appius Triumphius Marcellus Cato,
also a citizen of Nova Roma. Nova Roma is based primarily on Republican
Rome, not the Roman Empire. And I believe Augustus restored only the
"appearance" of the Republic. In actual fact the Republic was dead. And
every educated Roman at the time was well aware of the attempted deception.
Vale... A. Cato

Salve, Patricia Cassia, and thankyou for the note. I have already signed on
to ONElist. Now that I am a citizen, (and working on my wife and boys to get
involved) I am going to get a toga and tunic made. From what I can tell so
far it will be a little pricey. it will be made according to the
instructions in the books First Man in Rome, and the Grass Crown series of
books. The togas when finished are supposed to drape just as they do on the
old statues and paintings. Not as the poorly done ones of Hollywood do.

B.C. was a RESULT not a REASON. The Republic was not able to resolve the

inefficient.
So the reforms of Augustus have restored the normal function of
republican offices and have created effective state machine, able to
carry out the task of world power as Rome became. The defense of Rome needed
professional army and high qualified commanders.
Was "the classical Republic" able to assure that? I have taken the name of
Gaius Iulius Caesar Dictator >>
Salve "Caesar"
Quite a name you have there. I'd drop the designation though. You have to
earn those. My Roman name entitled me to use "Delayer" but since I never
fought Hannibal or saved the Republic, I felt that it was presumptuous of me
to do so.

In every era in history, there are always persons who have "all the answers."
Usually it is to their benefit and they may not be right or correct, but that
doesn't matter. They change the course of history anyway.

The turning point in the Roman Republic came after the Second Punic War. The
Romans had kept under arms for years 22 legiones that were now hardened
professionals. Because half of these were Ala, Italian allies, there was a
blurring of Roman and Italian nationalities. Also Roman drill and discipline
had made the Italians "Roman" as far as fighting ability is concerned. Rome
at this time had her true first professional army, and having such an
instrument usually means you will use it. The Senate did, first by punishing
Illyria, then Macedon for aiding Carthage. Next when the Seleucid King,
Antiochus III invaded Greece to pickup the remnants of the Macedonian kingdom,
the Roman Senate reacted, sending a Consular army to expel Antiochus from
Greece, then invading and fighting him on his own ground. The victory at
Magnesia jump started the Roman empire. However, after the destruction of the
city of Corinth after her revolt, the Senate disbanded the Army, leaving only
four legiones to carry out a pacification program against the Cisalpine Gauls.

Now, why didn't the Senate keep the army under arms to help solve political
problems? Because it wasn't the Roman way. Rome's Senate remembered their
history. Only tyrants had standing armies. Rome abhorred tyranny. So no
standing army.

The change came when G. Marius enrolled the poor as soldiers. Frankly, he saw
he had no choice. The last Roman Consular army had been slaughtered at
Arausio. The Roman citizen farmer, the backbone of the earlier legiones, now
either wanted to stay on his farm, or no longer had a farm, he had joined the
ranks of the poor. Only the 5th and 6th class, were willing to enter the army
and fight for land, not Rome. In this way they could become citizen farmers,
something that was denied to them by their birth. It was a powerful
recruiting incentive. It also made the troops loyal to the man that enrolled
them and not the Senatus Populusque Romanus. Now Senators no longer needed to
pursue a political solution for their agenda, when they had a military one,
loyal to them only. And this is what caused the change, not a corrupt Senate
as you put it.

Octavian's reforms were four fold. 1st. Reduce the power of the Senate, by
reducing its numbers by one-third. 2nd Reduce the power of the army,
disbanding half, rewarding them, then making sure the remaining army was loyal
only to one man, the Princips, him. 3rd. Set up allies to Rome, that would
act as buffers against outside aggression. This allowed the Romans time to
act against an invasion, without having Romans on the front line. Finally,
concentrate the secretarial and financial duties in the hands of former
slaves, shrewdly realizing that they would have more loyalty to him, and Rome
then a magistrate.

Actually he (Fred Tuttle) spent a little more (a couple of hundred
dollars) and only won the primary. He lost the general election to Leahy.

I guess the vileness scale depends where you stand on the spectrum.
Personally I thought Tuttle made a mockery of the electoral process (he
himself was voting for his opponent) which put him pretty low in my book.

Alexander Iulius Caesar Probus Macedonicus has been among us for several
months now. I had never seen him use the title "Dictator" until today. I
believe that he did not mean to claim the office of Dictator by using it,
but rather to pay homage to Gaius Iulius Caesar.

His name, however, must surely have been approved by the Censors. Else why

That's a well-worn historic excuse for military dictatorships. Hitler and
Mussolini used it. The pre-fascist regimes in Germany and Italy were
unable to keep up the highways, make the trains run on time, provide
employment for their citizens, etc., so the aforementioned individuals
took over and straightened all of that out.

I guess how you feel about it all depends on what your values are....

Yes, I believe it IS Alexander! Didn't mean to speak disparagingly of him...
but I was trying to firmly get the point across that the Censors are *not*
allowing Roman names that have "official titles" built in. There actually IS a
provision for the election of a short term Dictator if Nova Roma were to face
some unimaginable crisis - so we don't want terms to get confused. Thought I'd
save people the trouble of coming up with names like "Eugenius Senator Consul"
or somesuch. ;)

Otherwise we try to be fairly relaxed as far as Roman names go. It may not be
strictly traditional, but we do try not to break people's hearts by denying a
favorite name if at all possible.

I certainly agree that Alexander was simply trying to pay homage to Iulius
Caesar, and that no harm at all was meant! In fact, I've written to him
personally for clarification. Hopefully he'll be able to work in a variation
of the Caesar name, and drop the "Dictator" title. We'd be more than pleased
to see him honor such a name with a modern reflection of it!

>His name, however, must surely have been approved by the Censors. Else why

I'm afraid that "Gaius Iulius Caesar, Dictator" was NOT approved by the
Censors. In fact Alexander applied with quite a different name I believe. As
stated above I've written to him for clarification, and am sure the situation
will be worked out to everyone's satisfaction.
