Salvete,

Sorry to disturb everyone, but I'm testing to see if I'm set up with the Nova
Roma list. I set the list to "web read only" while off in England, and even
though I set the list back to individual Emails I haven't been getting
anything.

Also, there seem to be no Egroups list archives at the moment. This means I
haven't been able to catch up very well...

Vale,

Marcus Cassius Julianus

You have also lost an Augur in Dex, but what the heck, that isn't
important. 2 priests resigned in less than 48 hours, for different "last
straw" reasons, but we both left for many of the same reasons, not the
least of which was the Religio being put, not in the back seat, but in
the damn trunk under the spare tire.

First of all, Pontifex G, my husband is not adopting my SON, it is my
DAUGHTER.

That said, both Don and I have resigned everything. We did not accuse
the Collegium of anything. I DID say that we had a MAJOR problem with
you (Cassius) asking us to play down our religion to the courts in
regards to Terrys adoption. As it turns out, that would have been an
unmitigated disaster. I questioned why the PM would want that. If
anyone in Nova Roma should have "supported" us in our religious fight, I
would have thought it would have been the PM. I was wrong. To listen to
G, I should have listened to the PM and had my children removed from my
home because of the prejudice of the court system, especially here in the
South. Instead I followed my heart and prevailed because I showed no
shame or secrecy in the Religio. WHOOPS!

I, in particular, have been accused of cowardice because I didn't accept
the position and then sit on my damn heels pretending there was joy in
Mudville because Cassius was not available for comment. I SHOULD have
resigned more than one Priesthood instead of just one.

If requested I will post my OWN statement as to EXACTLY WHY we left. If
requested, I will post it here, or I will post it to whoever asks.

I had to choose between my family and Nova Roma and I choose correctly!

Pax,
Crystal Meaker

Thanks! I received it myself as well this time. I'd set the list back to

Salve, Lapella:

In all my archaeologisings I never saw a lid for a military skillet
(patera); this would of course be unsurprising if the lid were of perishable
material (such as wood or leather), but even then one might expect one to
have turned up in the anaerobic, waterlogged conditions at Vindolanda on
Hadrian's wall. I offer the following guess, based on modern (British)
military usage: you put one pot (preferably slightly larger than the one
underneath, so you can invert it) on top of another - and there's your lid!

Don't know if patera were regulation size/capacity or no (I suspect they
were): not having recorded dimensions of any to hand, I'd guess on average
they held about one sextarius (about a pint). Usual material is bronze, BTW.

Bene vale,

Vado.

Salve Papiri Iusti:

Mihi quaeristi:

Do you actually make it into a little 'cake'?

- no. The gods were - erm - polite about the spelt cakes I made them
(leavened, with honey)(cake manufacture has come on a long way since the
4thC CE, and so have the gods' expectations of what one can provide for
them), but they told me they preferred Turkish Delight (Graece, nota bene:
this was during a private lararium ritual!)

... the mola salsa we use in public rituals in our part of Britannia is left
as a loose mixture, for strewing the templum as part of the consecratory
preliminaries to the ritual, and as a propitiatory sacrifice to the genii
loci - in much the same way as they scatter pure salt in Shinto ceremonies,
and as the Apaches use hodenten (sacred corn pollen). It just seems right to
us to do it that way, and no unfavourable omens have ever ensued. Since we
don't do live sacrifices we don't follow documented prescribed practice by
dusting the victim with it before putting the knife in. Seems daft to dust a
placenta or plate of liba...

Bene vale,

Vado.
