Definitively long before that.
A special ship was build to bring it to rome, and that ship

I don't know enough Latin to say for certain, but she's probably wrong though
close. 'Gesserit' is a form of the verb 'gero', which means 'to bear
about', 'bear', 'carry', 'wear', 'have', 'hold', or 'sustain'. From what I can
tell, it may be better translated, "It shall be borne well," or "May it bear
well." Hopefully, someone more literate than I will be able to give you a more
definite answer.

Well, as I know from my Latin studies, this is a question which is still
not completely answered, even with the most brilliant people working on
it. Some say that ae was pronounced as two sounds, one being the a from
'car' and the other the e from the name 'Esther'. Others say that this is
very impossible and that the only correct way is to pronounce it as one
sounde like the a sound in 'hat'.
As far as I know, however, most real experts on the development of the latin
language, consider the fourth official language of Switzerland, which is
still called 'Roman' by the people who speak this language, to be probably
the closest to what is could have been like. This does not mean that it
has to be exactely like it, but it might at least give us some idea.
I hope, I could help, Tiberius Annaeus Otho

Ladies and Gentlemen of Nova-Roma;
My thanks to those of you who answered my request for information and
clarification. I have been asked to share with you my discussion about
"Roman Sea Trade" and in appreciation for your help, I am pleased to do
so.
Your determination that "Mare Nostrum--our sea" was a term by which
those who sailed her waters referred to the Mediterranean, is very
interesting to me. I agree fully with William that such is "good enough
for me!!" Your support that the terms "Mare Internum--internal sea" and
"Mare Mediterranium--sea between lands" were used has relieved my mind
that I did not put out "bum dope."
I was discussing on another list my idea for a series of stories
concentrating on the suppression of piracy in the area of the Fluvia
Rhinus Delta. The pirates apparently preyed on ships that set sail from
the mouth of the Rhinus for both Roman Britain, or entering the Rhinus
from Britain or from "Mare Internum" (the Mediterranean). There was a
definite Sea Trade Route from "Mare Internum" through the Pillars of
Hercules, around Espana and north along the coast of Gaul to the mouth
of the Rhinus. This route was a dangerous one, exposing ships to the
open "Oceanus Atlantico" and the rock bound coasts of Gaul. But the
route was apparently undertaken by the largest of the Roman Merchant
ships who carried Passengers and Frieght too bulky or too delicate for
the long roads over the Alps or around them by land.
Reference:
"Roman Shippng and Trade--Britain and the Rhine Provinces--Research
Report #4," Eds. Taylor and Cleere, The Council For British Archaeology,
Stephan Austin and Sons Ltd., Hertford, England, 1978, Page 49
The above reference goes on in greater detail:
"It appears that freight could have arrived in Britain in a number of
ways begging the question not only of the route, but also economic and
political factors. Cost must have been an important
parameter-----inland waterways cost 4.9 times as much as sea transport,
while overland haulage cost 28 to 56 times as much--it may then be
observed that the long sea voyage is the cheapest, though in practice
the risk factor may have been of significnt consideration."
The intended stories were to be set in the late 70's A.D. during the
reign of the Emperor Titus. One of my friends on the other list
inquired about my use of the term "Mare Internum" which had been taken
from a copy of a chart of the Mediterranean in my possesion. His
question to me was the reasoning behind my questions to Nova Roma.
Again My thanks to all who responded.
Respectfully;
Marcus Minucus Audens

Salvete omnes,
Time for the next question!
Yesterday's question was tough - only three people answered
correctly. The first was Quintus Cassius Calvus, who knew that the
obelisk was brought from Egypt by the Emperor Caligula in AD 37.
He asks: Before being appropriated by Christians, the obelisk
had a round globe on the top that was supposed to have contained the
ashes of whom?
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.

Salve,
BENE GESSERIT, the creation of the genious Frank Herbert on the best novel
of all times, DUNE!
The Bene Gesserit is a religous Sisterhood of womens with awesome powers and
secret objectives, which the official matter is "to help the grow of the
mankind", but was described as the ENGINEERING OF RELIGION. Its literary
genesis has a lot of psicological Yunguian theorys, but also a lot of reals
elements of very organized and ancient churchs as the Roman Catholic.
Bene Gesserit is a "mix" of radicals from hebraic/arabic and latin/greek
language: It means "Sisterhood" (Bene) of "Nutrition" or "Generation".
Remember the radicals in Venus "GENITRIX". Also even on Dune the "Bene
Tleilax" of the strange cientifical amoralists tleilaxu are a brotherhood.
The son of Frank Herbert, Brian Herbert, has a project to specially write a
book about the creation of the Sisterhood of Bene Gesserit for the future.
Salve iterum. Siaynoq! I'm very pleased to see people interested on Dune.
"In the name of our sacred sisterhood..."

AVETE OMNES
In organizing the first Venationes of Nova Roma we tried to
respect some original details.
Did you know that the names of the Venatores you can read in the
Forum Boarium page are the names of really existed Venatores???
If you take a look to the Venationes page in the Ludi Apollinares
web site, you will see on the left a venator and on the right a
leopard. Well, this Venator's name was Spittara. Today Spittara is in
the Forum Boarium, and you can buy him! You can choose the right
Ludus (gymnasium) for him and make him battle again!!!
Anyway, he is only one of the many fighters we have in the Forum.
Go there! Make them battle again!!!!!
Do you want to know how the fighting between Spittara and the leopard
ended? You will have to wait until the end of our Venationes to know
it! You will have the answer reading the narration of that combat
written by honourable Praetrix Pompeia Cornelia Strabo!
Anyway, that fight had an end, and it is showed in a marvellous
mosaic kept in Tunisia. If you find it.......

MAIOR: Of Caesar. But this is tought as very
improbable.
My question; In the Ides of March of 44 BC, when
Caesar was murdered, who had wounded Caesar first?
Answer: the Senator Publius Servilius Casca

Marcus Arminius Maior
