Salve Nerva,

I'll take a hardcore Roman stoic over a confused Greek
trying to puzzle out what a horse really is anyday,
thank you very much.
Even more mischieviously,

Junius Rusticus, teacher of Marcus Aurelius and stoic philosopher. Marcus Aurelius mentions that Rusticus gave M Aurelius a copy of a book of Epictetus that M Aurelius aprecciated very much. Apollonius of Calcys was another Stoic philosopher that teached of Marcus Aurelius. Another Roman Stoic that likes me very much is Rufus.
Among all Stoics I think the more similar to M Aurelius was Epictetus, I recomend you, appart of 'Meditationes' of M Aurelius, the 'Enchiridion' or 'Manual' of Epictetus. Seneca considered a great Stoic philosopher showed in his private life a very few Stoic acts!

Salvete cives et amici,
I am very pleased to be able to announce my return to active status as a
magistrate and citizen of Nova Roma. It has been about two months since I
have been able to take part in the workings of our nation. My computer and
busy schedule prevented me from returning as promptly as I would of liked. I
look forward to scrambling to catch up on my duties and the events that took
place during my long absence. By the looks of things much has happened, and
I most likely have a ton of emails to write. =)
I also sincerely apologise to all those that may of been effected by my
absence. Especially my colleagues Caeso Fabius, Pompeia Cornelia and Lucilla
Cornelia.
It is good to be back.

All--I am interested in learning to write poetry in
the Roman style, but in english, rather than Latin.
>From an acquaintance with a friend in college who was
taking Latin at the time, I understand that Latin
poetry in the Roman style is vastly different from
English poetry. Are there any books i could read or
people I could write to, to learn more about this?
Thanks!

Salve,
I recommend Cicero's "The Nature of the Gods". While primarily devoted
to advancing the "Academic" philosophy (which Cicero subscribed to), it
gives good (if a bit biased) looks at both the Stoic and Epicurean
philosophies as they relate to the gods.
Vale,
C. Minucius Hadrianus

[novaroma] Trajan in Dacia |

The February edition of 'Military History' magazine features a
cover article on the Dacian Campaign of the Emperor Trajan.
This was the last great expansion of the Empire, and although
Trajan did go on to conquer Babylonia, Hadrian found it necessary to
pull out almost as soon as he became emperor.
The article is very interesting, covering Trajan's tactics, his
engineering, and his wily foe, King Decebalus, who somehow persuaded
Trajan that only he could ensure stability in the region and keep up
the gold production in Dacia. Trajan's error in leaving the king in
place resulted in a Dacian revolt a few years later and required
Trajan's return. This time, Decebalus was executed.
Look for this article in the library. I thought it worth the
price of the issue.

But you see, it is good to distinguish between "horseness"
and "humanness" so as to not confuse the two by elevating the former
to the senate!

The site URL is http://www.lindesay.co.nz in case ya'll are

to keep up with Updates, Upgrades, Shareware, Freeware and
More. The site is for Mac/Win/Palm OS.

Salve Gaius Cassius,
I have also bought this edition.
You are correct about the article, I too found it quite fascinating and it
has much useful information for those interested in this last great military
campaign of the ancient Roman Empire. It was a shame that there were not
more emperors like Trajan. He was one of the best military commanders in
imperial Roman history. His campaign in Mesopotamia although not as
impressive long term as the Dacia campaigns are also quite interesting it's
too bad the article did not touch on this aspect of Trajan's life. Although,
it¹s still quite a good article. The whole magazine is quite good in fact. I
highly recommended it for those who are curious in military history of all
time periods.
