Quiritibus salutem
Aletheia Moravia and I are delighted to announce that the applicant citizen formerly known as Gnaeus Hernicius Piscinus has honoured the gens Moravia by requesting adoptio, and that gens Moravia has fairly fallen over itself in haste to accept him before he thought better of it. Whoever it was said that parents are educated by their children never, in this case, spoke a truer word.
Let it be known therefore that the aforementioned Cn. Moravius Piscinus is our sole son and heir within the laws of the Respublica of Nova Roma.
We thank the gods heartily for this most welcome addition to our little family, who in Humanitas augments us in a ratio far greater than the mathematical increase his adoptio represents.
Bene valete
Nicolaus Moravius Vado
Aletheia Moravia.

Salve mea Draconia
A few of us have inflicted poetry on this list in the past, and for the most
part been politely ignored.
I think a poetry list would be nice, tho' I should imagine it would be
fairly small and quiet. About a year ago (I think it was) a few cives
started a Latin literature list, but since they intended to begin with De
Bello Gallico I gave it a miss to start with, but never followed up
afterward. I don't know if it's still in existence. If it is, perhaps
classical poetry will have a home there, ready-made. Me, I'm all for
anything to increase Humanitas, and I am very fond of the Greek and Latin
poetry I know. I would enjoy reading some more without having to go to the
bibliotheca and stretch my borrowing limit impossibly. But I confess I'm not
so fond of the modern derivative, neo-classical stuff, though I find Graves,
Powell, Logue, Walcott and Vado outstanding exceptions...:-)
BTW, have you seen the new translation of Sulpicia's verses?
Bene vale,
Vado.

-Salve Dear Vado,
I haven't had the chance to read the new translations of Sulpicia's
verses. But I must do that in the future hopefully. So there is a
Latin literature list around here somewhere? Could it be possible if
"yours truly" took over the moderator spot of it? I'm sure I could
get it running again (or at least I think I can.)Also a big thank you
for responding to my post, I didn't think anyone would. Wow!! Thanks.

Salvete Vado et Aeternia Draconia,
I actually hadn't planned on mentioning this... this not having anything to
do with Nova Roma or Ancient Rome. A number of poems which I have written
are being published by the International Library of Poetry in a book called
"Time after Time" its Library of Congress ID is ISBN-1-5-58235-142-2 ...its a
very big book of poetry. I doubt that anyone plans to buy it, but if anyone
does drop me a line.

Do I have to repeat what many have said before?
We are not the USA, we have our proper Constitution, and the 1st Ammendment
in the Bill of Rights does not make part of it. We do not belong to NATO. We
do not belong to the United Nations.
We are not a democracy, for democracy (though with all its limitation) was
the Government of Greek cities such as Athens, not Rome. But we do base our
system on the free choice of the people and an wide freedom of speech,
limited only by the due respect to the Gods and to our institutions. We do
respect human rights and do not follow ancient practices that violate human
right.
So, please, stop reminding our magistrates about the 1st Ammendment in the
Bill of Rights to the Constitution of the United States of America. As a
metter of fact, I have never reminded you about the Constitution of
Portugal, my country, whose Constitution - derived from the left-wing
movements of 1970s - I find to be one of the most Democratic Constitutions
in the World.

Avete,
I returned home last night from Roman Days and I would not expect those that had traveled to be home before this evening. It was in many ways the best yet, but in some ways disappointing. This year we had many more displays and activities. Everyone set up on the 'hill' under the trees this year, and while it was hot, the shade and intermittent breezes helped somewhat (though a proper Roman bath would have been the real ticket!).
Novae Romanae present at various times
Merlinia Ambrosia
Marcus Cassius
Patricia Cassia
Pompeia Cornelia
Lucius Equitius
Quintus Equitius
Secunda Iunia (uxor Quinti Equiti)
Marcus Equitius
Lolitia Peraltia (uxor Marci Equiti)
Gallio Vellius
Each day the Legions preformed demonstrations in the morning for opening then just after lunch and in the afternoon before 'closing'.
The legions
Legio XX http://www.larp.com/legioxx/index.html
Legio III Gallica HTTP://members.aol.com/legiiigal/
Legio XXIV http://www.legionXXIV.org
After we drilled Quintus took 'volunteers' to the shade of a large tree and taught the kids some tactics and drill. Also, near the educational displays the kids could throw bean bags at a large cut out of a "Celt" and get a 'diploma' for "Bean the Barbarian"!
At ~ 2:00 there was a fashion show done as a 'timeline' of Roman dress from early republican to imperial. Patricia Cassia displayed her wedding dress and I was in Senatorial tunic and Toga.
For breakfast, lunch and dinner, Merlinia Ambrosia Artori merlinia@-------- provided a variety of cooked and uncooked Roman food. Saturday night we fashioned a triclinium and had a wonderful feast with a variety of wines! Merlinia found a "Falerno del Massico" [Villa Matilde] and I brought "Siniscalco" [gioia del colle primitivo] both of which are as close to "falarian" as we could find. The men reclined at the traditional three tables and the ladies sat at a table in chairs. During the meal we were entertained at various interludes by singing by Merlinia herself, Patricia Cassia, Quintus Darius sang the "Roman Legionar' " and Taratalla the 'slave' of Hortensia Tertia (uxor Qiunti Dari), who sang an 'ode' from Horace. All the songs were done very well, but the ode was especially moving. The food was outstanding and everyone retired well satisfied.
Pompeia Cornelia Strabo flew down from Canada and kept herself busy helping Merlinia, taking pictures until she ran out of film :-) and visiting with everyone! (Great to finally meet a Corneli in person!) Maybe we can get some of these pictures posted on the website?
Secunda Iunia displayed a variety of 'Rune' stones from different cultures.
Hortensia Tertia displayed her herbs as Roman herbalist.
Marcus Cassius kept himself busy selling his antiquities from Imperium Ancient Arts ; Flags ; Tshirts and Roman costume available at: www.imperiumarts.com/costume.html of which my Gens filius Quintus Equitius bought a Tunic and Toga, I got a flag, some bumperstickers and a set of laminated cards with the public and personal Roman Virtues .
The disappointment was the small public turnout due, I think, to the fact that the Washington Post neglected to 'post' the event in it's "weekend" section and the hot weather (it had been in the 70/80's and very pleasant until Sat and Sunday which was in the 90's and humid [usual summer weather here]).
One unusual event occurred Saturday afternoon after the event closed for the day and before we had our 'feast'. All us Romani were waiting for the food and putting things away for the night when we all heard a 'THUMP".
Some of us thought that a branch had fallen out of a tree but when we went over to look it had been two large 'black' snakes. We all watched them as they both immediately returned to the tree (awesome to watch snakes climb straight UP a large oak tree)! They began again but fell out of the tree again; however, this time they finished their business and went back to the woods. The next day one of the snakes came back and traveled through Legio XX's leather tent on it's way to the other side of the park! Marcus Cassius and I feel this was a propitious omen, snakes symbolizing fecundity.

to Norway. Hand I known that a couple of days in advance, I would have come
up to Roman Days. I had a great time last year. I am was upset about
canceled vacation, but I am *really* upset now that I realized I missed out
on Roman Days! Now I have to wait for next year! :o( I am glad to hear

Salve, Senator Cincinnatus;
Thank you for the description of Roman Days this year. The weather
treated our local reenactment event somewhat similarly this year in New
England as well. Very warm (100 degrees F) on Saturday and Sunday with
a thunderstorm and drenching downpour Sunday P.M. and evening.
I was very sorry that I could not join you, but my "travel agent"
pronounced "intercessio" on the idea very firmly. We are however,
planning for next year!!!!
I am very gratified to hear about the wines that you found. I shall
order them immedately from our local vintner. I hope to share the event
through P. Cornelia Strabo's photographs and her detailed descriptions
which I am counting on. Glad to hear that you enjoyed the gathering,
and were able to engage in some face-to-face!!!!
All the Best from:

Salve. Praetor Marcus Marcius Rex;
Sir, there are no existing or comtemplated "sanctions" against the
Tribune Plebis L. Sergio Australicus. There has been a disagreement
within the Senate, between a Senator and the above Tribune. The Senator
has applied for a Senatus Consultum to be placed on the Senate Agenda at
the next Senate Call to decide whether the Tribune's words shall be
determined as demeaning to the Senator's position.
That Consultum application is before the Consul's for review. The
Tribune is currently carrying out his duties in accordance with his Oath
of Office and nothing is being denied him.
I can well understand the concern that the Citizen's may have for the
status and position o the Tribune Plebis. However, I do not think that
all NR Citizens understand the concern that the Consuls have for that
same Magistrate's status and position. There are some on the list who
from lack of precise information, past disappointment, or simply the
desire to have something to say, have implied that your elected
Magistates are somehow planning against you if every item is not
transmitted immediately to your ears. This is, simply not the way
things work. Let me enlighten those of you whose ideas about how the
Senate operates is somewhat cloudy:
---Topic Item is introduced in Senate;
---Discussion ensues;
---Disagreement follows (perhaps on occasion);
---Calming influences put forth (as required);
---Results Determined;
---Decisions made as necessary;
--Applications made for Senate Consulta (as necessary);
---Senate is informed as a whole;
---Tribunes inform the NR Citizenship (when a breakdown in the Tribune
activity occurs another Magistrate (usually) the Consuls fill in until
the Tribunes are back in service).
Now, between any of the above steps one day to 2 weeks can elapse. In
my humble estimation, it would be uneccessary and burdensome to inform
the NR citizenship of the everyday activities of the Senate, and the
hour to hour discussions. I have always thought that was what the
Magistrates were there to do as representatives of the people of NR!!!
If anyone needs further information, I see no problem in asking fot it,
however, I do not believe it is absolutely necessary to allude to the
possibility of the Magistrates being in secret meetings trying to
undermine the micronation through a financial take-over, through
injurious neglect or other such mischief. Such allusions, sarcasm,
insults and just plain inability to be reaonably polite, on this network
is neither required nor is it terribly productive.
Mistakes, Commitment Problems, Family, Illness, Work Concerns all play a
part in the above pattern of things, and any of those of the NR
citizenship who are free from those above listed afflictions should
immediately and without further delay apply to run for Polical Office or
becaome deeply involved in the Religio as a worker bee!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vale, Respectfully;
Marcus Audens

Hortensia Tertia is not a citizen nor a subscriber to this list.
She is knowledgeable and can be helpful. Try this address first:
mamt@--------
which will get you in touch with Quintus Darius, her husband.
Merlinia Ambrosia will not get to her mail until she returns. You may
have to put out a "call" to her in a day or two. In the meantime Nova
Roma does have a Sodalitas Pro Coqueror et Coquus;

When I approach my wine merchant to order these,
and he looks at me as though I am from the moon,
what should I tell him? Are these the names they
would be known by at the wine merchants?

Salve Consul!
If it is as you say - and I have now no reason to believe otherwise as your
dignitas in Nova Roma is certainly one of the highest I can think of - my
concerns are no longer valid.
They had been voiced, as I had stated, in the absence of any clear
information about the whole matter. The Tribune himself has so far not
answered my private mail.
Gratias ago

Salve, Marcus Marcius Rex;
I thank you for your very kind words. I have a great appreciation for
them. The situation of which we spoke, has again changed in the short
time since I last messaged you, for the better I hope, and I suppose it
will continue to change as we move through the various stages of a
personal argument. The argument, however, is not the focus of my
attention, but rather as you brought forward, the Tribunus Plebis is a
very important part of our government. That Magistrate must be trusted
closely to be a excellent reporter, to maintain that which must be
maintained in confideniality, and that which must be shared with the
citizenship.
He must be careful in his reporting techniques not to involve too deeply
his personal biases in these reports, but after-all must be allowed some
small degree of latitude as he / she is as human as the rest of us.
The Tribune must be perceptive, honest, forthrite, and interested in the
task of the Tribune, which is to provide enlightenment to the citizens
of NR in an informative and unbiased way. The Tribune must maintain a
certain set of standards, and hew to those standards regardless of what
political winds may blow.
Lastly the Tribune must be firm in the face of adversity, and be able to
separate his / her personal feelings from the duties which he has
accepted. No-one will ever completely agree with the tribune on the
boundaries that he is forced to place upon his task, and therefore the
Tribune can expect to be at odds with at least someone with every report
made.
Considering all of the above, any Magistate of NR would be seriously
remiss not to be concerned with the duties of the Tribune Plebis, awake
to his needs, strengths and weaknesses, and be alert to assist him as
possible in case of an emergency.
My friend, Marcus Rex, these last few paragraphs above were not
necessarily directed at the personal you, but rather the collectve you
of the NR citizens. Your message provided me with the opportunity to
publish a message in my turn, which in my opinion was necessary and
overdue. I thank you sincerely for that opportunity and for your
patience.
Vale, Sincerely;
Marcus Audens

Salvete Aeternia Draconia et Omnes!
A Poetry list is a splendid idea! And if you "don't mind
Latin", maybe you could somehow do it in collaboration with
the Sodalitas Latinitatis, which hopefully will be approved
by the Senatus in the very near future. It too has an
interest in Latin poetry, both appreciating and creating.
(Write me in that regard.)
I might also mention that my two new minor filii in the Gens
Apollonia, Quintus Apollonius Flaccus (guess which Roman
poet inspires him?!) and Sextus Apollonius Draco are avid
students of Latin and Greek poetry and copious creators in
their own right. My filia Turia Apollonia Sulpicia Minucia
also engages in literary activities. We are, as you see,
very devoted to Apollo and his Muses in our gens! (Modesty
almost prohibits me from mentioning [but not quite ;-) ]
that even I myself had a collection of my Latin haiku
published by a literary review here in Silesia last month.)
In other words, I think we would be very grateful for your
establishement of a Classical and Latin Poetry list
("Classical" so as not to exclude all Greek, "Latin" so as
not to exclude all post-classical Latin materials).
Hopefully at eGroups, where we all already have accounts,
and which gives such good service...
Speaking (with such evident pride) of my gens, I would like
to congratulate Vado and his gens on their new filius. That
is not only a joy for them but for all Nova Roma, in my
opinion. And indeed we will all learn something from him!
Anyway, we're waiting Aeternia! (And if in any way you need
help, please feel free to consult me.)
