Ave,

Just one question. If it is a poem, does that necessarily have to be up to
five pages?

Vale,

Apollinares)

Salvete!

During the Ludi Apollinares (July 6-13) different
contests will be held (see our website, the address is
at the bottom of this mail).

One of them is a literary contest, where Nova Romans
may compete by writing a text, prose, poetry or drama,
about a Roman-related subject (ancient and Nova Roma).

Here are the rules of this contest:

LITERARY CONTEST

1) This literary contest is organized by aedilis
plebis Tiberius Apollonius Cicatrix, with the support
of his two assistents and the praetores. The contest
is open to all citizens of Nova Roma. To participate,
one has to write a text (drama, poetry or prose) about
a Roman subject (this covers a very wide range of
possible subjects!).

2) Each participant can participate with just one
work. The contributed work must be in English, with a
maximum of 5 pages (standard A4 format). MS Word
format is preferred.

3) The deadline to send your work is July 5, 2002
(2755 AUC), by e-mail to Tiberius Apollonius Cicatrix
(consulromanus@yahoo.com), and in the subject line
"LC". Don't forget to include your Nova Roma name and
email address!

4) The texts will judged by a jury (from July 6-11)
following this table of judgement:
- language style (linguistic qualities) (10 points)
- content (Roman references) (10 points)
- lay-out of the work (5 points)
- artistic value (very general) (5 points)

5) The jury will be composed as follows:
- Tiberius Apollonius Cicatrix, aedilis plebis
- Manius Constantinus Serapio,
- Titus Labienus Fortunatus, praetor
- Pompeia Cornelia Strabo, praetrix
- Caeso Fabius Quintilianus, aedilis curulis

6) The participating texts will appear on the Ludi
website. The participants thus grant the copyrights of
their text to the organization accepting this
regulation. This Regulation is accepted by taking part
in the contest.

7) The winner shall be announced on the Main List and
on the website on July 13. He/She will receive a prize
from praetrix Pompeia Cornelia Strabo.

I really hope to see many participants in this
contest!!

Subject:	[Nova-Roma] latin reading
From:	"gaius galerius uiator" <gaiusgalerius@hotmail.com>
Date:	Tue, 18 Jun 2002 16:42:47 +0000

Salvete

Anybody out there who knows. I am looking for a recording of Latin; not
by an American orator, nor English, nor French, nor Spanish, because they
all carry their own accent into it. I've heard them all.
It has to be by an Italian native because the Italian accent is the
closest to the original. And it has to be not in accordance with the
Vatican pronunciation, but the classical.

Any recommendation is appreciated.

Salve again Gai, I went to check more on General Aetius in The HARPER
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MILITARY BIOGRAPHY. They seem more definitive than
other sources giving his bithdate at 395 AD . They said he left as a
hostage to Aralic in 401 AD and probably joined the military in 412.
For you and everyone else, I want to point out that there is a video
made in 2001 called Atilla. Gerard Butler plays Atilla and Powers
Boothe plays General Aetius. Thats how I found out about Aetius last
year. Somtimes these shows are not 100% accurate but they do
stimulate futher interest and reading in the subject.---

Franciscus Apulus CAesar Omnibus S.P.D.

I signal you a new interesting prject in Italy. From July 6 to 3th August at
Hadrian's Villa in Rome there is a manifestation organised by Villa Adrina
and promoted by the italian Cultural Ministry. Everyday there will a music
concert with a tipical roman dinner. The spot says:
"We have gone back to 123 A.D., the period of Magna Roma, into the Hadrian's
Villa.
Ancillæ and Ministri are offering Ancient and Sacred Food to Guests from
Third Millennium.
The tables are set with Mappæ, Inargentatæ Supelectiles and Italica
Fictilia.
The delicacies of Apicius, Cato and Columella and other original recipes are
eaten without a fork.
An Archaeologist leads us through a realistic journey, gives us all sort of
historical information,
facts, indiscretions and rumours of that period"

If you'll in Rome I invite you to visit it. You can find other informations
at www.villadriana.it

The event is organized by Magna Roma too. It is a famous restaurant in Rome
where it's possible to eat a roman dinner and partecipe in classical shows.
The official website is www.magnaroma.it

<g> This is why I travel with earplugs (usually worn to block wind
noise when I ride my motorcycle): you never know when they will come
in handy! I popped mine in as soon as we went to bed and was
blissfully ignorant all night while my son tossed and turned ;-)

I did not make it to Gulf, milord: my son and I wedged in May Crown
here in An Tir and all the weekends since have been filled with end -
of-school activities and preparing him to go off to Italy.

But perhaps we will have the pleasure of meeting one day! We're
forming a college here in Wenatchee, but it's slow going finding
other adults to take on the many tasks. Take a look!

Of course not, there is no minimum length, only a
maximum length. Everything less than five pages is
welcome (but we can't expect the jury to judge a book
of about 400 pages, that's why there is a maximum of
five pages)

SCA stands for Society for Creative Anachronism. It is
a medieval/renaissance recreational group. It is not
really a reenactment group, since it is more
free-form. Members are urged to create one or more
persona from the era - one can be a Viking or
Elizabethan courtier or Crusader or whatever. We try
to recreate the traditional crafts, and stage mock
battles and tournaments using rattan swords, rabbit
blunt arrows. etc.

Being a "creative" society, historical authenticity
sometimes suffers; but outrageous lapses (being an
18th century pirate, e.g.) are not permitted.

It's lots of fun. (Unfortunately, it has an excessive
number of folks within it who take it far too
seriously!

I have been a member about three years, and am the
head of the nautical guild for the Kingdom of
Meridies, which takes in much of the southeastern U.S.

Salve Sexte Appolloni,

> it is working on my computer. I will try it from another one.
> Thank you for your help.

I suspect that you are using MSIE.

The creators of the web and the HTTP protocol established a standard for
determining the file type; the server would send a "Content-Type" header
as part of the response, based on some set of rules that are implementation
dependent, but usually based on filename.

For example, if a filename ends in ".html", the server would send this:

Content-Type: text/html
...and then the contents of the file.

If the filename is unrecognized, then the server sends this:

Content-Type: text/plain

The browser is expected to look at the Content-Type header and display
the file accordingly - sending it to its HTML rendering engine, or
JPG decompression functions, or some external program as appropriate.

Unfortunately, years after we had a well-established standard in
place, Microsoft came along; and Microsoft does things their own way.
MSIE ignores the Content-Type header sent by the server, and instead
analyzes the file after it arrives, guesses what it is, and then
tries to display it.

Because your filename is simply "index" without an extension,
the server sends it out with Content-Type text/plain, and
standards-compliant browsers such as Mozilla, Netscape, and
Konqueror will display it exactly as the server instructed - as
plaintext. MSIE guesses what it should do (in this case it
makes the "right" guess), so MSIE users see the page.

The solution is to rename the file from "index" to "index.html"
(index.htm works too, on most servers), and to rename any other
HTML files to something.html.

Vale, Octavius,
Consul and Server Geek.

AVETE QVIRITES

After one day, only other 19 people will still have
the opportunity of buying a Venator who will fight
during the Venationes of next Ludi Apollinares (august
6th-13th).
Should we think that you are afraid of several
little animals?

Buy a fighter in the Forum Boarium! He will cover your
name with glory defeating lions, tigers, bulls,
rhinoceroses and other beasts!
If you join the Venationes Programme you will be
considered as possessing 10,000 Sestertii. Use them to
buy the strongest Venator on sale and to make him/her
train in the right Ludus!

Visit the website of the Ludi Apollinares and enter

There are many reason for wich Italian musn't be considered the closest
accetn to Italian (only in prosody, but other romanic languages preserve
other aspects better). It is a common error to think in geographic
continuants as more closed to the ancient languages. But in general are
peripheral areas those that preserver better archaisms. You can see the

Ladies and Gentlemen of the N-R List;

Recently I had been having a discussion on another list regarding "Roman
Sea Trade" and I identified the Mediterranean Sea to my friends as the
"Mare Internum", from a period map in my possession. Two gentlemen
immediately indicated that the Mediterranean Sea was known as the "Mare
Nostrum" meaning Sea of Us or perhaps "Our Sea" I found "nostrum" in my
Latin Dictionary but could not find the word "internum." Nostrum was
not identified as a Place Name as other Roman place names were.

My questions are these:

--What is the correct name for the Mediterranean sea both before and
after the conquest of Carthage?

--Is the translation of "nostrum," that I have provided above, correct?

--Is The word "internum" a latin word, and if so what is it's
meaning?--has the word ever had any use as a place name in Roman
History?

Respectfully Requested;

Salve, Marce!

"Internum" is the neuter adjective and its meaning, as you suspect,
is "internal." You might see it written as "internus" "interna"
or "internum" depending on whether the word it modifies is masculine,
feminine, or neuter. In this case, 'mare' is neuter, hence 'mare
internum!'

I haven't enough data to answer your other question, but hope my
minimal Latin skills have been helpful in this question!

Salvete omnes,

It's time for the next question!

Several people answered yesterday's question correctly, but the first
to do so was Marcus Octavius Germanicus, who knew that the festival
celebrated in honour of Bacchus was the Bacchanalia.

He asks: There is an obelisk in St. Peter's Square, moved there
in 1586. Which Emperor had previously brought that obelisk from
Egypt to Rome?

If 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.

I can give the rest of the information you need.
"Nostrum" is not a name, but rather an adjective. You can find it on
the dictionary looking for "noster", that is the masculine form (it
belong to the adjectives of the 2nd class). It means "our" as you
said. The name of the Mediterranean Sea was exactly this one: "our
sea".

Also "mare internum" (internal sea: you can easily understand the
reason) is the Mediterranean, but it is an expression used only by
Pliny.

I hope I have been useful!

Salve Marce - I checked through various history books and they all
say The Romans called the sea Mare Internum (internal) throghout
their history. Could Mare Nostrum been a name from the middle ages
since Latin was used as the known European world language in those
times?
