Salvete, Omnes,

I am pleased to finally be able to announce that a new Pontiff has been
unanimously accepted into the Pontificial College - Antonius Gryllus Graecus,
our Praetor from the Luisitania Province.

Over many months, Graecus has proven himself to be extremely knowledgeable
about both the Religio Romana and the ancient Mystery traditions. His
political career has shown him to be a dynamic Citizen, and his religious
expertise and pietas will be of great help in fully reestablishing the
Religio Romana within Nova Roma.

I hope that all Citizens will join me in welcoming him into this new
position. AVE Antonius Gryllus Graecus, Pontiff of Nova Roma! :)

Valete,

Salvete, Omnes,

I am pleased to finally be able to announce that a new Pontiff has been
unanimously accepted into the Pontificial College - Gnaeus Tarquinius Caesar.


G. Tarquinius Caesar has proven himself to be extremely knowledgeable about
the Religio Romana, and an avid reconstructionist of ancient religion. I have
no doubt that his stills will be of great benefit to the Religio within Nova
Roma.

Salvete omnes

I want to publicly thank the Collegium Pontificum for their confidence as
well as the opportunity to contribute officially to the revival of the
Religio Romana.

I want to assure you that my title of Pontifex will be more than a title.
I'm right now gathering support from scholars of Roman Religion in order to
create an electronic journal on Roman Religion, which, if successful, will
turn into an international Symposium on the subject. I believe this will
contribute to make Nova Roma an important repository of Roman religious
knowledge with international projection.

Salvete,

I am updating the SF and was wondering again if any other Nova
Roman are interested in joining us. I looked at the births page and
noticed that it states it is the page for "Natural Born Nova
Romans", which was the plan when the Sodalis was considering
being connected with Nova Roma. If all the parents of Nova Roma
"natural" children are members of the SF then that is another thing
all together. I know there was a baby born to someone in Fimbrias
gens, I believe it was the second "native born", but I cannot
remember names and, in any event they are not members of the
SF.

So if anyone is interested in joining the SF or knows anyone who
is, please go to <a href="http://famromo.wiccan.net" target="_top" >http://famromo.wiccan.net</a> . There is a link to
email me and apply. All applications go to the rest of the members
(so far we have turned only one person down, and it was more we
let them forget they ever applied), so it may be a week or so before
you get an answer.

Pax,

Crys

Martin Henig & Anthony King, eds. _Pagan Gods and
Shrines of the Roman Empire_. Oxford University
Committee for Archaeology Monograph Number 8.
Oxford: Oxford University Committee for Archaeology,
1986. 300 pp.

This academic collection contains the following
articles:
Barry Cunliffe, "The Sanctuary of Sulis Minerva at
Bath: A Brief Review."

Peter D. Horne, "Roman or Celtic Temples? A Case
Study."

Isabelle Fauduet, "Cult & Ritual Practices at
Argentomagus, Indre, France."

Hermaion at Hermopolis Magna."

Grahame Soffe, "Christians, Jews, and Pagans in the
Acts of the Apostles."

Alan Wardman, "Pagan Priesthoods in the Later
Empire."

This is one of those collections of papers
originally presented at an academic conference, and
later written up and published. In this case, the
focus is on archaeology, but many of these articles
are quite useful for understanding the nature of Roman
religion, both within Italia and in the provinciae.
Like all academic works intended for an academic
audience, these papers suffer from several
limitations, such as large doses of jargon and a
belief that the religio Romana is dead and gone and
will never be revived because, after all, "those gods
really never did exist." The volume also suffers from
its emphasis on sites in Roman Britain as opposed to
the rest of the Empire.

Nonetheless, msny of the articles are quite useful,
and the volume as a whole is profusely illustrated
with diagrams, maps, and photographs (many of statues
and cult objects of the gods which would otherwise
be difficult to track down and view). In particular, I
found the articles by Miranda Green (the equation of
Jupiter with Taranis--heavily illustrated), Joan
Alcock (the Genius and the Iuno), Martin Henig (the
concept of deity), G. Lloyd-Morgan (Venus), Godfrey
& Hemsoll (the Pantheon), Blagg (Diana Nemorensis) and
Soffe (Acts of the Apostles) particularly interesting
and useful for understanding of various Roman cults
and concepts, though those of you interested in
Bacchus, Faunus, Epona, Sulis Minerva, and Helios
would also find those articles of immense interest
(most, again, heavily illustrated). Indeed, the
volume should prove of particular interest to those
who are interested in both the Roman and Celtic gods.

The volume is in folio format, and available in
paperback. However, this is not a collection meant
for the beginner, particularly for someone not
familiar
with academic jargon. It will, though, prove useful
for those who already have some familiarity with
Romano-Celtic religio, and should add needed layers
of complexity to the typical beginner's rather
simplistic view of the gods and the worship.

Subject:	Book Review: Sources for the Study of Greek Religion
From:	JSA varromurena@--------
Date:	Fri, 15 Oct 1999 11:47:47 -0700 (PDT)

David G. Rice & John E. Stambaugh, eds., _Sources
for the Study of Greek Religion_. New York: Scholars
Press, 1979. 280 pp.

This is, as the title indicates, a collection of
sources--most newly translated, some for the first
time--of most of the relevant sources concerning the
Hellenic gods and their worship. The six chapters of
this volume look at: The Olympian Gods (as seen from
Homer to Aristotle); Heroes (including the cult of
Asclepios and Alexander the Great); Public Religion
(concerning ethics, Delphic piety, Sacrifices,
Festivals, Sanctuaries & their administration, and
Rural cults and customs); Private Religion (family
cults, personal piety, Orphism, Pythagoreanism, and
Platonic mysticism); Mystery Cults (Phyla, Eleusis,
Dionysus, and Kabeiroi); and Death & the Afterlife
(Homer, Plato, Orpheus, etc.). There is also a
highly useful glossary of transliterated terms and
words.

The first two chapters, and the last chapter, do not
present anything particularly new to those with
knowledge of the Hellenic myths; however, the third,
fourth, and fifth chapters are both fascinating and
useful, especially to the practitioner seeking to
replicate the ancient worship systems. The section
on Rural cults and customs I found of great interest,
dealing as it does with nature spirits, nymphs,
dryads, Hecate, Herms, and various rural festivals.
Another particularly useful section is that on the
rites of the phratry and the household, found in the
chapter on private religion. Finally, the collection
of sources on the various mystery cults, especially
those of Eleusis and Dionysus proved quite noteworthy,
as besides the usual literary accounts the editors
provide translations of the many inscriptions
normally available only to specialists.

The main problem with this volume is the typeface,
which comes in an old-typewritten style Courier font,
making the volume tiring on the eyes. Otherwise,
this is a volume which should be on the shelves of not
just those interested in the religion of the Hellenes,
but those trying to reconstruct that worship in modern
times. All-in-all, I highly recommend this volume.

Date:	Fri, 15 Oct 1999 11:51:23 -0700 (PDT)

Christopher A. Faraone & Dirk Obbink, eds., _Magika
Hiera: Ancient Greek Magic & Religion_. New York:
Oxford University Press, 1997.

An academic collection of articles, originally
presented at a conference, the following articles
are included herein:

Christopher A. Faraone, "The Agonistic Context of
Early Greek Binding Spells."

J. H. M. Strubbe, "Cursed be he that moves my
bones."

H. S. Versnel, "Beyond Cursing: The Appeal to
Justice in Judicial Prayers."

Roy Kotansky, "Incantations and Prayers for
Salvation on Inscribed Greek Amulets."

John Scarborough, "The Pharmacology of Sacred
Plants, Herbs, and Roots."

Samson Eitrem, "Dreams & Divination in Magical
Ritual."

Fritz Graf, "Prayer in Magical and Religious
Ritual."

John J. Winkler, "The Constraints of Eros."

Hans Dieter Betz, "Magic and Mystery in the Greek
Magical Papyri."

C. R. Phillips, "Nullum Crimen sine Lege:
Socio-religious Sanctions on Magic."

Overall, this is not a volume for any but the most
advanced student of Hellenic religion, and the
modern practitioner of the ancient rites will find
little of practical use in it which could not be found
to better effect in other, more recent works on
Ancient Magic (such as that by Fritz Graf). Intended
for a specialized academic audience, these articles
discuss works in progress, not definitive conclusions,
and are laden with jargon and assumptions largely
foreign to the educated lay reader.

However, two articles may prove of particular
interest, and usefulness to the practitioner. These
are those by Scarborough, on the Pharmacology of
Sacred Plants, and Eitrem on Dreams & Divination.
The former discusses the use of magical plants from
Homer to the Magical Papyri, and gives a list of
ancient magical ingredients and their modern
equivalents, based on an ancient papyri which gives
these equivalencies. So, if the practitioner needs,
for
example, "Semen of Helios" and "Titan's Blood" to
complete a spell from the magical papyri, one needn't
throw up one's hands in frustration, as the former
is white hellebore, and the latter is wild lettuce.
Eitrem makes similarly useful observations regarding
dreams and dream divination.

This volume, then, receives a qualified
recommendation. The articles by Scarborough and Eitrem
will prove useful for those practitioners interested
in magical spells, but, otherwise, this is not a book
for any but the most advanced student of ancient
Hellenic religion.

Subject:	Book Review: Greek Mythology: An Introduction

Date:	Fri, 15 Oct 1999 11:55:18 -0700 (PDT)

Fritz Graf, _Greek Mythology: An Introduction_.
Translated by Thomas Marier. Baltimore: Johns
Hopkins University Press, 1993. 240 + xii pp. ISBN
0-8018-4657-9 (Hardback), 0-8018-5395-8 (Paperback).

Considered by most scholars in the field as the
definitive introduction to Greek mythology currently
in print, this volume consists of eight chapters: The
Rise of the Scientific Study of Myth; New Approaches
to the Interpretation of Myth in the Twentieth
Century; Myth and Epic Poetry; The Origins of the
World and the Gods; Myth, Sanctuary, and Festival;
Myth as History; Myth, Choral Song, and Tragedy; and
Philosophers, Allegorists, and Mythologists. The book
also comes with a very useful bibliography.

Overall, this is a highly useful and wonderful
introduction to the subject, and one I would recommend
be read before the reading of the myths in the ancient
sources, or in collections by such as Bulfinch (well,
I'd hardly recommend Bulfinch, but if you insist on
reading it, read Graf's study first) and
Graves. The first two chapters, and the last, are of
particular worth, dealing as they do with the
historiography of mythology, of the various schools
of thought and interpretations put upon myths from
Plato to Frazer, Harrison, Graves, et al. The rest of
the chapters, three through seven, are also quite
useful, detailing the changes made in the pre-homeric
myths by Homer, Hesiod, Herodotos, the Tragedians,
etc., and how, in particular, the influence of the
Near Eastern peoples and the need for dramatic
effect shaped and re-shaped the Hellenic myths.

Obviously, knowledge of these changes should prove
of great interest to the modern practitioner of the
ancient cults, explaining, as this work does, the
inconsistencies in the sources regarding the actions
of the gods, along with trying to understand the
nature of the gods through reading ancient sources
often shaped more by a need for dramatic effect than
any type of "accuracy".

Ultimately, then, this volume receives my highest
recommendation, one that should be required of any
modern practitioner of ancient Hellenism, or one
wishing to understand the Greco-Roman myths.

Date:	Fri, 15 Oct 1999 11:57:53 -0700 (PDT)

Mary Beard, John North, & Simon Price, eds.,
_Religions of Rome: Volume 2, A Sourcebook_.
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1998. 416 +
xvi pp. ISBN 0-521-45015-2 (hardback), 0-521-45646-0
(paperback).

This is the second volume of a 2-volume modern study
on the religio of Roma Antiqua. Each volume is
organized differently. The volume here reviewed is a
collection of sources, from the usual literary and
historical ones, to rarely-translated inscriptions,
archaeological site plans, artifacts, paintings,
statuary, etc. The sources are grouped into thirteen
chapters: Earliest Rome; Deities of Rome; the
Calendar; Religious Places; Festivals and Ceremonies;
Sacrifices; Divination & Diviners; Priests and
Priestesses; Individuals and gods: life and death;
Rome outside Rome; Threats to the Roman order;
Religious groups; and Perspectives. Besides
innumerable maps, diagrams, and photographs (all
usefully detailed), this volume also includes a very
large bibliography of both primary and secondary
sources, an Index of texts cited, a general index, a
glossary of Latin terms, and a listing of the
various epithets of the gods. The sources cover not
merely the more well-known Greco-Roman gods, but also
the more obscure Roman and Latin deities (such as
Sterculinus), those not subject to the Interpretatio
Graecae. Each source, whether written or pictorial, is
preceded by a well-written introduction.

In all, this second volume is well-written,
well-illustrated, well-translated, and one not
likely to be superseded anytime in the near-future: in
short, the standard for years to come. The
comprehensive bibliography is particularly useful,
dealing, as it does, not just with works in English,
but those in French, Italian, German, and other
languages as well.

This volume should be on the bookshelves of all
those--both beginner and advanced students--interested
either in the study or the reconstructed practice of
the ancient Roman religio. It receives my highest
recommendation.

You are still getting a group to go and make a Nova Roma outing of it, aren't
you?
What day? The exhibit runs through January 9th, if I recall correctly. I'm
still wrestling with reduced finances and PTO, but that exhibit is a real
magnet! I'm sure others in the Provincia, and maybe other Provinciae, will feel
the draw if they know what day. As a note to the all, I want to repeat what I
picked up from the website of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art,
this is the ONLY venue for this Pompeii exhibit in North America!
