Well, the first day is up, it's time for the second question.
Although several people got the answer correct, the first was
Tiberius Apollonius Cicatrix, who knew that the third king of Roma
before the Republic was Tullus Hostilius.

His question is:
What is the name of the last western Roman emperor?

As before, if you know the answer, please e-mail me at

From:	"curiobritannicus" <Marcusaemiliusscaurus@hotmail.com>
Date:	Tue, 11 Jun 2002 06:12:24 -0000

Salvete omnes,

Another event of these Ludi will be to hold a vote, a vote which any
civis
of Nova Roma can take part in. We will be voting to choose the person
who
has given the greatest cultural contribution to Nova Roma in 2755
A.U.C., or
2002 A.D.

This person might be an excellent authority on the Religio Romana, or
a
great contributor of material on the main list. Alternatively, it
might be
a very knowledgeable member of the Sodalitas Militarium, or someone
who
wrote particularly fine piece of poetry or prose in the Sodalitas
Musarum.
Or perhaps someone who is always ready to answer scholarly questions
on the
main list. Or anyone else you can think of who has contributed to the
cultural atmosphere of Nova Roma.

In this first week, from the time of posting, you can vote for
anyone, until
Sunday June 16. On that day, I will post a list of the three cives
who
gained the most votes. From then until Sunday June 23, I ask that you
vote
again, to decide who amongst those three has given the most to Nova
Roma,
culturally speaking.

This is also supposed to be light-hearted, so no
campaigning, please! ;-) Although no real prize will be awarded to
the
winner of this, it will be good to honour those who have contributed
a great
deal.

To vote, please e-mail me at marcusscribonius@hotmail , giving me
your
Roman name and the Roman name of the person who you consider
deserving of
this recognition.

Bene valete,
Marcus Scribonius Curio Britannicus,
Aedile Plebis.

Salvete omnes,

I would have been honoured and would have loved to
apply for the position of Propraetor Provincia Gallia
but I am far to fulfill what is required. Except some
good experience about managing a team, I have been a
citizen for only 3 monthes.
Nevertheless, there is a huge potential in Provincia
Gallia and I will be more than pleased to help the
next Propraetor.

Honoured Praefectus Fabrum,

thank you very much for your words. It is just a
pleasure for me to share my passion with others.
But there is much more to be done!! Preserving and
promoting the Roman heritage is a huge task that needs
time and efforts from all of us. We are just at the
beginning and it will be a long way.
Thank you again for your supportive post.

Respectfully,

Date:	Tue, 11 Jun 2002 18:15:52 -0000

Salvete omnes,

It's time for the third question! Yesterday's question was: Who was
the last western Roman emperor?

The first person to give me the correct answer was Tiberius Annaeus
Otho, who knew that the last western Roman emperor was Romulus
Augustulus.

He asks: Which firstname was usually given to a female child
in Rome?

If you think you know the answer, please e-mail me at
marcusscribonius@hotmail.com with the answer, your Roman name, and
the question that you would like to ask.

Bene valete,
Marcus Scribonius Curio Britannicus.

Subject:	[Nova-Roma] After Action Report -- Roman Days -- 2002
From:	jmath669642reng@webtv.net
Date:	Tue, 11 Jun 2002 14:31:25 -0400 (EDT)

Citizens of Nova Roma;

I beg your leave to make my report to you of the Roman Days Activities
this last weekend.

My wife and I did not originally plan to attend Roman Days this year,
but the appeals of "Maximus" Minucius Gladius and the XXIVth Legion
Commander could not in all good conscience be ignored, and so we elected
to drive to the Baltimore area, rather than fly as on previous
occasions. It took us 9 1/2 hours to get there and 8 1/2 hours to
return. It was a long drive both ways, leaving here (New London, CT
area) at 12:30 P.M. Friday, and returning at 1:45 A.M. on Monday.

There were no problems with the vehicle, but highway construction,
accidents along the way, and peak traffic delays were encountered all
the way down and back.

Our New York friends provided a fly under which the Senator was able to
lay out the Senatorial splendor, and relax in a fashion befitting such
an august personage (Grin!!!!!!!) My thanks to the "Wolf of Britain"
and wife. The Wolf also presented me with a leather water bottle filled
with wine. Double thanks, my friend!!!

Actually, I had a lot of fun at the event. I got to see some old
friends and re-new our aquaintance and I was privaledged to meet some
new people who were most interesting. There were five Senators at the
Event, Cassius and wife, Cincinnatus, Octavius Germanicus, and myself.

The Commnder of the XXIVth Legio made up a "faces" and brought it down
to my tent for display. It stands about 3 1/2 feet tall, is about 10"
in diameter, and wieghs about 20-25 lbs. He very generously offered the
faces to me to display in my tent whenever I show up at events--very
nice, that!!!! After the Event was over we had our pictures taken
together with the Commander acting as a "Lictor" and I in my Senatorial
Tunic and Toga. My thanks again Commander--the thought was much
appreciated!!!!

The Event Location is a lovely park-like setting, and the surrounding
lush foliage and trees are a great setting for the Event Location. The
"ludi Maximus Gladitori" was set up in a small flat area, just off the
driveway into the Main House. It was here that we set up the Gladiator
Camp, separate but close to the XXIVth Legion to whom and with whom the
school is associated. We are all under the command of the XXIVth Legion
Commander.

The Ludi Maximus Gladitori put on four exhbitions in two days:

--Training sessions with Gladiators in camp (Sat. P.M.);

--Gladiator Fights in the Arena (Sat. P.M.);

--Training Sessions (Sun.A.M.);

--Gladiator Fights (Sun P.M.).

Merlinia and another lady provided Roman Food to the reenactors for a
very nominal fee throughout the weekend. Merlinia the breakfasts and
Supper Saturday. The other lady, the lunches for both days.

Nobody had the courage to serve "fat doormice with a honey sauce" but
the "Ostrich Meatballs in a Green Sauce" were delicious. We were served
Polenta and cheese, with boiled eggs for breakfast on Saturday with
fruit preserves. Lunch was stuffed grape leaves, bread, chopped nuts
cooked in honey and wine, olives and wine / fruit juice. Dinner on
Saturday was a specialty of Merlinia's and company--A salad of greens,
wine / fruit juice, spiced bean sauce, Fava Beans, spiced vegetables,
Lentils, fish fillets, Garum Sauce, and finished with melon and a
elderberry flan. Breakfast on Sunday was boiled guinea eggs, barley
mush with currents and fruit butter, and melon slices. A wide variety
of fresh fruit (apples, grapes, peaches, plums, bananas) were available
at the Glad. School as well as seeded dates. I probably missed some
stuff--I usually do, but I am sure, on this list, that someone will
correct me if I did!!!!

There were as well several very interesting displays:

--Model buildings--Roman reference books;
The buildings displayed were the Accropolis in Athens, the Roman
Colliseum (this model had a sectionalized piece removed from the model
showing the interior), a Roman Military Fort (this model had lift off
and "peek-a-boo" roof openings with the room interiors displayed), and a
large Roman Villa. These were apparently models which are cardboard
punch-outs from special "punch-out" books sold in Great Britain.

(Note:--Anyone having any information about these punch-out books please
contact me as I would like to order some of them--title, author,
publisher, etc.)

--Roman tools and weapons;

--My bridge drawings and models of bridge and signal tower;

--Modern Roman Board Games;
The gentleman bought several Board Games and some books relating to the
set-up of your own battle games. I didn't get back to take down the
names of the games and the books, but I did get to talk with him
briefly. I believe he said he was Commander Amt's (XXth Legio) brother,
so perhaps the gentleman will make his information available to Nova
Roma.

--Children's Games and Projects;

--Two Roman Sutlers;

One of the Roman Sutler's was "Wren's Nest", the proprietor of whom was
kind enough to punch some new holes in my sandals in order to tighten
them up and then punched some new holes in my belt (lost some
wieght---maybe!!)

--Roman Coin and Artifact Dealer.
This was Cassius and wife who have for the last few years offered Roman
Coins and Artifacts as well as Nova Roma flags, coins, and other NR
memorabilia. I was pleased to accept thier kind hospitality under thier
fly for a part of each day, together with Cassius' stimulating and
provacative conversation. Thank you for your thoughtful and most kind
invitation.

--XXth and XXIVth Legio Displays--
These were the displays that the people really came to see. The leather
tent of the XXth together with weapons and personal equipment,
accoutrements and uniforms all were very interesting and intriguing.
The XXIVth display showed the camp surrounded by palisade stakes and
featured a wolf skin and weapons , as well as a wide variety of military
artifacts.

The rest of the time I walked around the encampment acting the part of
an insufferable ass (easy for me!!!!!) of a Roman Senator, Part-Owner of
the Gladiator School and in complete charge of all the slaves
therein--Great Stuff!!!!!!

We spent a couple of hours each day showing youngsters how to use the
wooden training swords and shields at the two practice butts set up in
the gladiator camp. "Maximus" laid out a beautiful display of Gladiator
Helmets and weapons. We now have a very nice selection of gladiator
weapons, helmets and equipment and are adding to the number all the
time. We got three new adult recruits and a young boy at this event,
and one of them took over as the "Linista" (referee) in the arena, and
the other two were chained together for the Sunday Arena fights. One
was given a shield, the other a mace, and encouraged at Pilum Point to
beat each other to death. The "survivor" of that conflict was
dispatched by "Maximus", upon his entry into the arena, by having his
neck broken (great new device for sound effects---really chilling!!).

Saturday's fight was a brisk encounter, between the Wolf and Maximus,
which ended in the death of the "Wolf". The fake blood spurted out
about four feet, and caught the attention and admiration of the
spectators.

The "Wolf" fought "Maximus" (under another name) and beat him severely.
The Wolf got the net caught in his Trident and very nearly came to
grief!!! Blood (fake) flowed freely and everyone's natural blood lust
(well disguised, of course) was satisfied, and the women in the audience
were given the chance to cheer the winner and drool over his obvious
physical attributes (again well-hidden, but well done!!!)

On both days, "Game Editors" were selected from the audience, primed as
to thier duties, and placed in charge of the determination of life or
death to the gladiators. They both followed the dictates of the
audience who screamed their preferences with abandon.

We in the Gladiator School now have a very nice membership of eight
"solid " members who are regulars, with some others who come as they are
able. There are some ladies who dress out and others who assist in a
variety of ways as well.

The Event entertained about 300 to 400 visitors (my rough estimate--gets
better every year!!) with about 40-50 reenactors. The Gladiator School
plans to do one more event this year at the present time--Welles, Maine.
Eisenhower Park (Long Island) Heritage Festival Coordinator just today
contacted my wife and notified her, in response to an inquiry, that due
to problems with the festival it would not be held this year. If anyone
is further interested in this future planned event, I direct you to
Marcus Cassius Julianus.

My sincere thanks for the applications of "Maximus" and Commander
Gallio, for me to again consider attending the event. They both were
very helpful and generous in their welcome. Normally any person would
go a long way for a welcome such I recieved at Roman Days. My thanks to
all who made the trip so rewarding!!!!

Respectfully Submitted;

Marcus Minucius Audens

Fair Winds and Following Seas!!!
