[Nova-Roma] Agenda for the Coming Month |

Avete Omnes,
It brings me great pleasure to approach you again and discuss my plans
for the coming month. I realize I am a bit late in approaching you, I
have had major surgery done on June 3rd and was released on June 8th.
Since that time I have been recovering and wasn't sure I would be able
to present anything. That uncertainty is gone and this month will be a
very productive month, IMHO. Without further comment let me discuss my
agenda:
Comitia Centuriata:
1. Consolidation and minor modification of the procedures of the
Comitia Centuriata.
2. Lex Cornelia Senatoria
Comitia Populi Tributa
1. Minor Modifications of the procedures of the Comitia Populi Tributa
There might be some other laws that might be included...but at this
point this is definitely going to be the agenda as of this date.
I plan to have the entire texts of laws posted by Sunday the 16th of
June. I have requested from our Augur approval on the 20th this would
give 4 days to make any possible revisions of any proposed law before
the Contio begins.
Respectfully,
Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix
Consul of Nova Roma

Avete Omnes,
I forgot to add that we need to elect the following:
A Rogator
A Curaetor Differum
Both of these offices will be voted in by the Comitia Populi Tributa.
Very Respectfully,
Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix
Consul

[Nova-Roma] RE: Girl child's name |

Salve,
I think it depended on several things. Plebian or Noble, family
status and wealth, etc.
I know usually the first girl child was given the feminine version of
her family name: ex. Attus Julian's daughter would be Julia.
Otherwise (in especially poorer families) the daughters (and sometimes
sons) would literally be numbers or ranks: ex. Prima, Secunda, Tirtia,
Majora, Minora.
When these women married, they would then take on their father's name
as described above.
i.e. Minora Justina marries Julian Flavius and becomes Justina
Flavius.
My question is:
What was the typical schooling for Roman boys and girls?

Amphitheatre back in business after 1,600 year wait
There were no condemned coin forgers, deserters, wolves, Amazons, lions or tigers - whose fights to the death brightened up many a dull summer's day in Roman London - but yesterday was still a historic event, when the city's amphitheatre threw open its doors after a mere 1,600 years.
How the Romans triumphed in trade
Spices, gems and other exotic cargo excavated from an ancient port on Egypt’s Red Sea show that the sea trade 2,000 years ago between the Roman Empire and India was more extensive than previously thought and even rivaled the legendary Silk Road, archaeologists say.
Houses of ancient Rome are reopened
A MAZE of ancient, decorated dwellings that were used from Roman until medieval Christian times was reopened yesterday with its frescoes restored and dazzling after years of decay and neglect.
Water quality was issue in ancient Rome, says scholar
Can the great technological feats of the early Romans still inform urban planning today? Professor Christer Bruun of classics says they can in the area of water conservation.
Roman baby
THE well-preserved remains of a baby who died 2,000 years ago have been unearthed by amateur archaeologists at the site of a Roman villa.
Stanford tackles ancient jigsaw puzzle
Researchers at Stanford University in Palo Alto will use computers and not a parlor card table to try to put together a huge, ancient map of Rome, shattered into hundreds of pieces like a jigsaw puzzle.

Roman amphitheatre opens to public
A Roman amphitheatre in the centre of London is being opened to the public for the first time in nearly 2,000 years.

Les Germains les attendaient au coin du bois
Trois légions et six corps de cavalerie anéantis, l'escorte civile massacrée, tel est le bilan de la déroute dans la forêt de Teutobourg, où Rome connaît, en 9 av. J.-C., un de ses plus grands désastres militaires. Le site est enfin localisé.

any...)

Salvete omnes,
The next question is upon us. Many people answered yesterday's
question correctly, but the first to do so and to include a question
was Marcus Arminius Maior, who knew that the Gallic King who sacked
Rome was Brennus, and that the famous latin phrase attributed to him
was "Vae Victis".
He asks: What Roman was elected Consul most times during the Republic?
If you think you know the answer, please e-mail me at
marcusscribonius@hotmail.com with your answer, your Roman name, and
the question you would like to ask.
Bene valete,
Marcus Scribonius Curio Britannicus.

MOS: The person who was going to be Propraetor? Now, candidacies may have
been presented to the Senate, but that individual in question (if it's him
I'm thinking of -- Puteanus), never said this on the Germania Inferior list.
Plus, despite his drive and enthousiasm, no one delegated him to the
authority of delaying this process, or asking it to be delayed. At any rate,
the list has run empty, and so has the future province (of course there are
still people, but no one really alive except Cicatrix and myself).

MOS: I don't know what their exact reasons of resigning were, but some of
them may have been the perpetual stalling of the Germania Inferior plans.
Whether this continuous stalling was the Senate's fault, or that of a few
individuals, it was certainly a cause that ceased activity in the area.

MOS: I agree, of course. At this time, what is really Gallia (France), is
seeing some activity, while Germania Inferior (Belgium, the Netherlands) is
virtually dead. But some months ago, the situation was exactly the other way
around. The "Gallia Magna" as it exists now was intended to split up
eventually, but the founders had always thought both regions would grow
equally. I'm afraid that this problem is going to haunt Gallia for a long
time.
A lot of arguments can be made for a split. First is that the Flanders
(northern Belgium) and the Netherlands share the same language and roughly a
common history. Second, the name "Gallia" is unhistorical for these regions.
Third, while the area is limited in magnitude, it has a common population of
22 million people. Provinciae have been created in the past, which only got
a governor later on I believe. Or provinciae where the opposite happened:
they were created with a governor present, but lapsed into a coma ever since
the governor left or went inactive (Sarmatia, Britannia for a long time,
Thule for a long time...).

MOS: Thanks for your elaborate answers!

Solaris
