ok, so you go look at the link on Germanicus' site that ticked me off and THEN
tell me about purists....
Just because someone takes pride in their culture and it's accomplishments does't
ever excuse bigotry, or bogus rationaizations for it.

Well, I appreciate what you're saying, but just keep in mind the different
medium of communication that we are using. Instead of travelling to a
physical place to gather and speak our minds on a special occasion, we are
typing messages from computers to which we have regular, in some cases
almost constant, access. Hence we are in a position to inject any and all
topics into our discussons and get monstrously off-track, while also lacking
body language and facial cues to judge the moods/intentions of others in the
forum. For these reasons at least we need to think a bit about the subject
of our discourse and limit it in lines established by our magistrates.
:Second, what does it mean to be proud of ones origin? As a German I have
:great problems talking of pride in ones race and keeping it "pure" .
:This leads ALWAYS into big troubles.
I think that what you have written is true. As I have said before, we have
a chance here in Nova Roma to build a society that truly ignores
stereotypes, false dichotomies and other irrelevant distinctions.

Salvete, Omnes
Let me make this clear from the start. There are no plans to hold Rites
or Rituals involving the use of 'blood sacrifice' within 'official' NovaRoma
events Or private events by me or anyone I know. This is serious to me as
well as many others and I respect their right to belive as they do.

Lucius Equitius: Your interpretation, there's two. Anyone else care to
interpret just what "all manners practical and acceptable" means? sounds
ambiguous to me. However, "The culture, religion, and society of Nova Roma

more concrete, to me.

Salvete!
It was with some growing incredibility that I have watched this growing cat
fight between women of Roma. Being a third generation German/American, (my
family fought on both sides of WWII) I had relatives in the Waffen SS (1st SS
Div). I don't think they took part in a sonderkommando, but if they did, I
could only condemn them for what they did, but I certainly would not prevent
people from studying about them. Just like if Sulla's realitives were in the
Stern or Igrun gangs in Palestine in the late 40s, I'd not hold that against
him. It seems to me that none but Nova Roma topics should really be
discussed on this list, and women being catty to one another
is something we all really can do without. If Germanicus wants to link to an
Ayran website, that is really none of our business. The question then must
be asked, does Germanicus have Roma's interests at heart no matter what his
personal feelings. Since he helped start this whole organization the answer
has to be yes.
And that should be the end of it. I hope this is the last word on the
subject.

Salve,
Ok. So some of you think we should leave this topic. I know it is hard
to face the ugly face of humankind, but here in Germany many thought we
should never again talk about what happened in nazi-times, simply forget
about it.
But look where it leads us. Everywhere in Germany we have to face new,
very violent neo-nazis and racists. In my hometown,Solingen, there was a
turkish family murdered by some teenage racists just a few years ago.
And now many solingen citizens are calling that we should forget about
it.Why? Shall it always go on like this? We have to face racism, nazis,
if we want some day live in peace together.
I will tolerate everyones opinion until he/she oversteps the law.But
everyone should remember that there are others who might be encouraged
to go to extremes, to take actions against what they hate and that those
of us who expressed such thinks are partially responsible for the
actions of others.
Some of you think that everyone has the right to hate what they
want.Well, I accept that everyone likes something or not , but to hate
is this really good of reasonable ,intelligent , educated people. Hate
is the well from which everything evil does flow.
Curious that those people ask for tolerance who demand of others to be
quiet. I ask where is their tolerance?
We will never be quiet just because some donīt like to haer the truth.
As for Nazis: ask my grandma how tolerant they were when they beat her
up while she was pregnant!
But now: CONGRATULATIONS CRYS for your third award( You have every
right to be proud of you)

1. Almost everyone has two parents, four grangparents, eight
great-grandparents, et cetera.
2. By extrapolating powers of two, it can be mathematically demonstrated
that each of us had one billion ancestors alive in the year 1200.
3. However, the human population did not reach one billion until some time
in the 1800s.
4. Thus, anyone who thinks he or she is racially pure is:
a) quite possibly misinformed, or
b) quite obviously a congenital idiot.
5. Every European has a Roman in the woodpile... Heil this!
6. Same goes for North Africans and Middle Easterners.
7. Homo sapiens sapiens started out from equatoriat East Africa on the most
successful world tour ever in approximately 35,000 B.C.E.
8. The play dates for Homo sapiens sapiens' world tour cannot fit on a
single T-shirt, but everyone's 140,000th great-grandmother had to go pee
behind the bushes.
8. WHAT IN THE HELL HAS GOTTEN INTO YOU PEOPLE?
9. Item 8 is a rhetorical question. If you respond, you are probably

Lucius Cornelius,
thank you for sharing this info with us. It helped me a lot. Did you know
that Lucius Cornelius is my favorite Roman? I guess I'll have to use a
roman name myself. How about Julia, Gayus Marius's wife? (as far as I
know none of Lucius Cornelius's wifes names is known today)

I'll probably be there Friday also.
Is there camping allowed on the site? If so, is anyone else camping? I mean,
aside from your legionary leather tent? I love camping, and would rather do

OK!!!! We finally gave in and bought a van, so the 7 of us (Don, Crys,
Kacey, Andrew, Devin, Terry AND Lapis -- did I miss amyone?? <G>) will be
there either Aug 13, 14 and 15 (will it have started by then??) or the next
weekend (Aug 20, 21 and 22).
Roman garb probably won't be happening. I do cover my hair in public, but it
is usually with a beret (I could wear the military ones for the occassion
<G>) and that's about as Roman I get in the neighborhood of dress.

I reach 109 billion ancestors by that simple model... And it is a
bit too simple a model. You haven't allowed for shared ancestry
between parents. Until the modern age, a community may have
counted as little as two or three degrees of removal between all
its inhabitants. The number of unique ancestors for any person
is not so easily calculable--your argument falls flat. Possibly,
until the growth of large cities, an eight hundred year pedigree
may have yielded only some ten thousands of unique forebears,
all in the same locality. This is narrow enough, compared to the
maximum values you have mathematically determined, for one's
claiming a pure descent. In the big cities, however, the number
of unique forebears is, with every new generation, apt to increase
upon the model of an exponential curve: at first sharply increasing,
then slowly rounding off as their pedigree grows more diffuse and
shared segments in their ancestries more probable. Can you,
perhaps, mathematically simulate this for us?

Well, the thing i find most interesting about this is that i am
attracted to the Roman pantheon despite being primarily of irish (with
a bit of scottish) ancestry...i am disturbed at the notion that i don't
have a right to the gods of my choosing based on ancestry, as it is
well known that the romans were very eclectic and when encountering
celts or norse they merely assumed that these people had given
different names to the same gods...BTW sorry about any bad grammar of
typos, i'm in a hurry!

...which, in case some Cives were wondering, is where I get off
claiming I've got Romans for ancestors. So do most of us, I suspect!
My family comes from a part of southern Spain that was a Province of
the Empire for over 600 years. I call myself a Roman because that is
the aspect of my heritage with which I identify most closely. I could
just as easily call myself Celtiberian, Phoenician, Carthaginian,
Greek, Visigothic, Moorish, Arabic, or anything else I've got in the
mix. But it is the Roman in me who calls the loudest, followed closely
by the Celt...especially in my Rottener Rowdier moments! >({|;-)
And yet, I've never felt that it is my ancestry that makes me 'Roman'.
'Roman', historically, was not so much something you were born as as
something you became. Roma was alone amongst the ancient city-states
for opening up the possibility of Citizenship to people who were not
born in the City...
What makes me, or you, or anyone here a Roman is our conscious decision
to embrace Roman cultural values and a Roman way of life (to the extent
possible in this day and age). It is a decision I made several years
ago and have never once regretted.
I cannot emphasize enough how profoundly grateful I have been for the
existence of this micronation. Nice to know that, as I walk the Via
Romana in the way that seems fitting to me, I have plenty of company!
Respectfully, in awe and wonder at *everyone's* heritage...

ROMAN DAYS
June 11-13
Glenn Dale, Maryland
A display of ancient military and domestic living history. (Note that this
is not an officially-sponsored NOVA ROMA event, but it is most certainly
endorsed and recommended. Many NOVA ROMANS are expected to attend; those who
did so last year can testify that it was highly enjoyable and an excellent
learning experience.)
Contact: Matthew Amt (Quintus Darius Macro)

Hi Dex,
Just three quick points here:
1) our list moderator already called for a moratorium on the links issue,
therefore we should *all* take it private (ya might have missed the post,
which is why I point it out)
2) my views on the depths to which the original discussion are also stated
elsewhere, but I'll be happy to discus it privately
3) you are quite incorrect about my posting for *fights*..but hey, contact me
privately and we can discuss that too.

Call the Aediles! And call Don King! I think we've got a real event here for the next
games! Instead of nets and tridents, we've got pantyhose and Lee Press-on Nails with
Blood Red polish.
And I thought that Gaul in the games for Ceres was tough!

Salvete Nova Romans,
I'd like to thank all of you who offered your support,
ideas and observations for my Comitia Populi Tributa
Proposal.
I'm forwarding the measure along with your ideas and
suggestions to the Senate for their consideration and
deliberation and enactment. Let us all pray that Nova
Roma finally gets her popular assembly.
As a liasion between the citizens and the government,
I plan to keep you informed of the progress this
measure makes inside the Senate. Some of you continue
to ask some pointed and valuable questions about this
important matter and I'll be happy to keep
corresponding with you on this matter and other
important issues facing NR. Right now I think I'll do
this privately since it seems this list has once again
become some sort of battle-royal.
===
Respectfully,
Avidius Tullius Callidus

Salvete, Omnes
More Roman Days info:
1. Merchants are welcome to sell their wares, and there is no fee (that I
know of), but please let Susan Wolfe,the site manager (301) 464-5291, know
that you are coming.
2. KET (Kentucky Public Television) will be sending a Latin teacher and a
camera crew to film parts of the event, mainly for students but possibly for
PBS!
3. There is plenty of space for displays, parking, period or modern camping
etc. Water, portajohns, straw, firewood. There will be a 20'X 30' tent roof
for shade or rain protection, mostly for the merchants and table displays,
and we can also get some 10'X20' pop-up flies. There are also a number of
hotels within a few miles.
4. The event will be open to the public from 10am to 4pm Sat. and Sun.
>>Is there camping allowed on the site?
Yes, Quintus Darius Macro &-------- href="/post/novaroma?protectID=029166014165146153033082190" >mamt@--------&--------a> commander of the
Legio XX is the event coordinator, he will answer any specific questions.
Marietta Mansion is located at 5626 Bell Station Road, just off Rt.
193. From I-95/495, the Capital Beltway, take Exit 20 onto Rt. 450 East, go
4
miles, turn left on Rt. 193, then left onto Bell Station Rd. and immediately
left into Marietta.
See ya'all there!

Daily Telegraph London
Uproar in Umbria over plans for ancient Rome theme park
By Bruce Johnston in Rome
(Edited down to just the highlights)
Proposals for a 1,400-acre Disney-style theme park in unspoilt countryside near Orvieto,
in Umbria - Italy's "green heart" -
are facing stiff opposition from local people as well as VIPs and foreign nationals with
homes in the area. Presenting their
project in Milan, the organisers, an Italian company called Filmholding, said their aim
was a theme park that could also be used
as film studios re-creating "part of ancient Rome," including a 150,000-capacity stadium.
The company says the project, called
Roma Vetus, will bring at least 5,000 jobs to a region recently hit by a series of
earthquakes. The Roma Vetus project aims to
attract millions of people and aims to have a special motorway exit built to facilitate
transport from Rome, an hour away.
Models of ancient Roman buildings will be constructed at 70 per cent of their original
size. Inside them there will be nothing
visibly modern. Electric lighting will be banned and in the restaurants and hotels there
will be no man-made materials such as
plastic pinafores, aluminium or Formica surfaces in sight. Behind the scenes, however,
modern effects and research will virtually
make the project, with the buildings actually constructed of glass fibre.
