Excerpta from my newsletter:
The big news of the week appears to be the discovery of warehouses and
docks in Rome in the Transtevere district (lots of coverage):

Re: Market research on certificates |

Salve,
By odd coincidence, I. Ovidia Luna, (who was at the Uxbridge event) recently
mailed me a bunch of *very* nice certificate templates she made. I believe
she used a program called Print Shop. It had some great pre-programmed
graphics, certificate borders, etc.
You might consider writing to her at: <a href="/post/novaroma?protectID=194176114182127134138038203001129208071" >riturtle@--------</a> . Apparently she has
a good amount of free time just now and might be very helpful for a
certificate project. :)
Vale,
Cassius

I wonder how many citizens, new and veteran, would be interested in
receiving certificates for donations to Nova Roma.
Last year, there was some discussion in this forum about making certificates
as part of a fundraising effort. Audens and I, with help from M Cassius
Iulianus, made some samples and showed them to Novoromani at the gathering
in Uxbridge, MA. They looked OK to some of the people there, and I would
like to get some more feedback to see whether this undertaking is worth
pursuing further.
The primary purpose of the certificate is to recognize a donation to NR, the
secondary purpose is to please the donor. The content of the certificate
could vary for different donors: magistratus and pontifices could receive
certificates acknowledging their election/appointment to office or admission
into the Collegium Pontificum; citizens could receive, for a somewhat
smaller donation, a certificate identifying them as citizens. Please
understand that a certificate like this would not MAKE anyone a magistratus
or pontifex, or civis. It is just an attempt at a somewhat elegant
acknowledgement of status, to recognize a monetary contribution to Nova
Roma.
I have pledged to contribute up to $100 to develop these certificates. Any
costs that I incur beyond that would be submitted to the Senate for
reimbursement, provided that donations justified reimbursement and wholly at
the will of the Senate. The largest cost so far has been the purchase of
authentic-looking fonts, but paper and postage would contribute to the cost
as well.
The certificates would be printed on standard-sized paper, with
authentic-looking font against a background featuring images of ruins of the
forum romanum, other ancient Roman site or an image of a deity. At the
suggestion of Palladius and Fimbria, I downloaded lots of images from
Maeceneas and other sites that allow non-profit use of images.
If anyone is interested in this type of thing, please let me know. I also
would like to know what level of donation you think would be appropriate.
If fewer than 7 people respond with interest over the next week or so, I
think that it'll be safe to say the project is not feasible. If that many
or more do respond with interest, then I shall resume efforts, with Audens
and the Senate to the extent that my colleagues have the time and are
interested, to formalize this proposal and realize it.
Thanks for any feedback.
Valete

Salve, Cassius et alli:
All is well!! They cut the toe off the correct foot, so we got over the
first hurdle without difficulty. Of course, I painted an arrow in
iodine down my left leg pointing at the offending digit, and asked the
attending nurse and surgeon to initial leg, That seemed to focus their
attention satisfactorily.
I am only allowed out of bed for thirty minutes a day, so you will
excuse me if this message is a short one. The necessity for the pain
pills is already diminishing, and I am scheduled for a follow up session
with the surgeon on Monday Morning.
I am as fine as "frog hair" and the operating room staff are recovering
nicely from 2 hours of steady jokes and sea stories. The Surgeon says
he will never fail to put a "mouthy old salt" to sleep again!!!! I am
sure he will recover!!!!
Many thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
Vale, Respectfully;

Salvete!
Is Publius Quinctilius Varus (the man who lost three legions to a German
ambush during the reign of Augustus) in any way related to Cincinatus, whose
nomen is also Quinctilius (I think) ? If anybody knows, please tell me.
Thank you.

Andrea Gladia Kyrinia - new Priestess of Apollo |
| From: |
|
| Date: |
Sun, 27 Feb 2000 22:40:39 EST |
|
Salvete,
It is my pleasure to announce that the College of Pontiffs has voted YES to
Andrea Gladia Kyrinia becoming a Priestess of Apollo within Nova Roma.
Kyrinia has shown a great amount of enthusiasm and devotion to ancient
religion, and it is certain that Nova Roma will benefit greatly from her
participation. Kyrinia is at present most experienced in the Hellenic forms
of worship, so for the immediate future will be working toward greater
proficiency with the Religio, and also working on the beginnings of restoring
public worship of Apollo within Nova Roma.
I hope that all will join me in congratulating Kyrinia and wishing her the
best with this new effort!
Valete,
Marcus Cassius Julianus
Pontifex Maximus
(On behalf of the College of Pontiffs)
