Well, you can still get Falernian today--though
offhand I can't recall the current name, but its
produced in the same region, if not the same town as
back then. Unfortunately, drinking the modern version
makes one wonder what, exactly, the Romans saw in it.
Perhaps it was the various flavoring "ingredients"
Romans added to it while in the amphora.

Salvete Omnes!

It is with great pleasure that the censors hereby announce that the
assignment of the tribes and centuries is complete, and have been posted in
the Album Civium. You can find it in the aerarium Saturni on the web site.

Please take a minute to check it out, and particularly check your century
point totals. If you think there's been an error in your total, please let
Decius Iu-------- a--------yself k--------by emaili--------s at <a href="/post/--------roma?protectID=219056234112193209090218066036129208" >ce--------s@--------</a>. Also,
if your name isn't listed, please let us know as well. Some people were kept
off the list because of problems with their Roman name or gens, and haven't
been able to get hold of them.

Valete,

Flavius Vedius Germanicus,
Censor

Salvete,

I have just seen the Tribes and Centuries and my name is nowhere
to be found.

I am quite distraught about this and I ask that it be rectified
as soon as possible.
