Salve Gaius Tullius Cato;

What can you do? Well, I have come up with an idea.

As of this date, you may consider yourself an official member of the
organizing committee of the provincial gathering at Fort Malden this
August.

Your first assignment, Gaius, should you decide to accept this
position, is to furnish the Provincial officals with a list of ideas
about how we can best entertain kids at Fort Malden.

If you could put your thinking cap on as quickly as possible, and
come up with some suggestions, please write them down, and forward
them to me at the above address, or the Procurator of the Provincia,
Senator Appius Tullius Marcellus Cato, whom I am sure you are rather
close to most of the time :)



I look forward to hearing from you, Gai Tulli.

(If anyone else has ideas in this regard, we would appreciate hearing
from you)

Bene vale,
Pompeia Cornelia
Praetrix Canada Orientalis Provincia
Nova Roma

Salve!
If I am remembering correctly a toga would be folded and pleated so
that a pocket would be created. I recall this cause of High School Latin
class. WE had to put on this God awful play on call 'Blood on my Toga." There
is a scene that a man was to forced coin on another man. The character was to
remove the coins from said "pocket." However my class mate could barely
dress him self let alone proper pleat a Toga. Of course the coins rained to
the floor. I scooped up the coins and on instinct made the pocket area for
them. Thus I got one of the best compliments I have ever gotten.
"My God, you really are a Roman! "
however
a small leather draw string pouch for your coin would be in order too. As I
rattle my brain I do not recall much on pouches. But I believe it was
something a person might also have intrusted to a servant to carry.

Salvete Omnes;

Once again, Canada Orientalis Provincia, associated legions, and
Roman
citizens are convening at Fort Malden Ontario on August 3 (Saturday)
and
August 4 (Sunday).

We may arrive on Friday August 2 late in the day, early evening, to
set up
camp.

"Where and What is Fort Malden" you are doubtless asking... Well,
Fort
Malden is a reconstructed Fort used in the War of 1812, on the very
spot
where much of the actual military action took place. The event we
are
attending, is a Military Timeline....military demos from Ancient Rome
to
World War II. Fort Malden is located in a small town called
Amhearstburg,
approxmately 40 minutes from Windsor, right on the Detroit River.

Last year, we were well received by the coordinators of this event,
and,
might I add by the public. A television camera from Windsor Ontario
was
there taking pictures, and received a generous dose of NovaRoma
literature
from Provincia Procurator et Senator Appius Tullius Marcellus Cato, I
might
add :)

Last year, Legio XXIV Praefectus et Sodalitas Militarium Praefectus
Gallio
Vellius Marcallas and his legionaries impressed all with their drill,
maneuvers. The testudo formation performed on Saturday was a big
hit. I
was proud of them...it was too cool.

Unfortunately, the Praefectus will not be attending this year, having
obligations in Europe, but we hope to see him next year. We will do
our
best to represent Rome in your absence, Sir.

This year's attendance hopes to be bigger than ever: We will be
represented
by a few legionaries from Canadian Legios in Quebec and Ontario...see
what
you started, sir??? :)

Quintus Fabricius will be attending once again from Detroit, who last
year,
wooed the public with his Latin, and his detailed knowledge of Roman
warfare
and history. He will be camping out, and is planning a display. I
could
listen to him all day :)



Campgrounds are approximately $7.50 nightly Canadians which is very
reasonable, especially in American Funds! I can get you a modest
price for
a motel room, if you would like to attend, and would rather not camp
out.

I would like to get a headcount, plus or minus a couple, by July 7.
Just
mail me at this address to confirm if you are coming. This way I can
ensure
a proper number of campgrounds.

Last year I booked two campgrounds for us, to allow us some
flexibility for
those who showed up at the last minute. But, this is a safeguard
only, and
one I would not want to rely heavily on.

Last year we were fed lunch. Those who were reenacting got a ticket
for a
free lunch...which was a complete, but pleasant surprise to me. I
had no
idea it would be 'free'. By reenacting, I mean, you had to be in
period
garb...so wear your tunica/stola, ok?

I shall prepare food for Saturday night after the public leaves. I
use the
word 'feast' rather reservedly, but it will be nutritious and Roman :)

We are trying to aquire some tents, so if someone does not have one
and
would like to come, let me know. Likewise with transportation...I am
sure
in some respects carpooling can be arranged.

If anyone knows of a supplier of Roman tents by the way, we would
appreciate
looking at various links. I know where to get cowbellies, but fully
made
Roman tent suppliers seem to be in short supply.

Any nonperiod tents will have to be down before the public arrives,
in
keeping with normal historical reenactment requirements.

I will keep you abreast of any further developments, and if you have
any
questions, please do not hesitate to write me at the above address.

I look forward to seeing everyone once again, and those new to the
event!

For Canada Orientalis Provincia Procurator et Legate, Bene valete

Pompeia Cornelia
Propraetrix

Subject:	[Nova-Roma] Kid's Activities
From:	jmath669642reng@webtv.net
Date:	Sun, 23 Jun 2002 12:47:28 -0400 (EDT)

Pompeia;

Thank you for your very kind congratulations. I hope that you will be
able to take part in the first course which will be Greek / Roman
History.

In regard to children's activities, I noticed at Roman Days there was a
young lady who was showing the kids how to make a bead bracelet. It
seemed to go over well, as most of the kds and some adults were wearing
them.

There was also a plywood cutout of a "Barbarian" (about 6 ft. high) with
a fairly large hole cut out where his mouth was. There were "bean bags"
behind a line, and a sign inviting all to "Bean The Barbarian."

The building displays (cardboard cutouts-well done) also had a coloring
table with a variety of Roman animals (from mosaics, I think) which were
printed on white sheets of paper. As I remember there were about 4-5
stacks of papers, each under a stone wieght, with a container of
coloring crayons on a separate table with two or three folding chairs.

One of the XXth legionaries put together a "Century" of children and
taught them how to march and take position in line. Apparently, it was
well recieved, as there were children marching and fighting all over the
area, all weekend.

The Ludi Magnus Gladitori, had two practice posts planted in the ground
(4 x 4's) with
sacking wrapped around the upper part of the post and a barbarians face
and heart painted on the sacking. Each post had it's own small shield
(wooden) and wooden sword. Children were invited to "practice at the
butts" with one of the gladiators to show them the points of the use of
the gladius. At Long Island last year, we paid each of the young
people, with a (plastic) gold coin, who practised at the butts. We
didn't do that this year for several reasons, mainly to do with the
children's demanding attitude in New York. Certificates for this could
also be given.

There were adult displays, as well, which were interesting--One
gentleman had a very nice tool display about Carpenter'sTools at the
time of Jesus Christ--actual tools which were recreations, I would
suppose. Another gentleman had a display of board games (about six or
seven) with the boards laid out and counters on each. He also had some
references on how to make your own games up for specific battles or
other areas of endeavor. One of the game displays was a very nice set
of battle minatures fully painted and arrayed for battle--very nice.

There was a nice display of architecture featuring some specific
buildings in history, Parthenon, Collesium, Roman Fortress, Roman Villa,
and there were also with that display a small library of books which I
found to be most interesting. I copied many of the books bibliographic
entries and came back home and ordered them.

Then there were the normal displays that everyone had come to see:

--XXth Legions leather tent;

--Weapon, Armor, and helmet displays from the XXth and XXIVth Legions,
and of course the legions that joined them for the weekend. I am not
sure of the number, but perhaps Senator Cincinnatus will again amend
this message by addng those items that I have forgotten.

--XXIVth Legion had some very nice displays regarding the Legions
trophies and symbols as well as some additional military displays,

--There was a barbarian there, and he had a blanket dispay as well, I
believe, weapons and accoutrements.

--Matt Amt also had a display of weapons and helmet for a greek warrior
as well.

--There was a food booth painted in the garish Roman colors which stood
out quite well and had delicious food as well. The lady had offered to
supply reenactors with food for $10.00 for the weekend (snacks and
lunches) great menu;

--The main meal on Saturday late afternoon and breakfast on Sat. / Sun.
morning was provided by another lady for an additional $10.00, again
great menus and food.

--There were three Macellum members present, one was "Wren's Nest" which
had a nice selection of materials for reenactors. The other macellum
member, I do not know the name, but they had a nice selection of period
children's toys which seemed to be quite popular. The Nova Roma tent
was in full swing, of course, with coins , artifacts, tee-shirts, flags,
etc. for sale.

--If I attend Roman Days next year, I shall consider requesting space
for my map and bridge display, and a children's activity which has
proven to be very interesting at the Civil War Exposition in Rhode
Island for the last two years and which has earned my CW unit an
educational award there. We have a large variety of wooden pieces;
square and flat of a variety of length from 12" to 2." I have two model
bridges set up on the table, one is a simple one pier brdge and the
other a two tier bridge. We invite kids to "build" a bridge using the
two bridges on the table as rough examples. When the youngster finishes
the bridge he is given a printed Certificate recognizing him as a Junior
Topograpghical Engineer (in your case a Junior Architecturas!!).
I will do this if I can find someone who would man the table nd deal
with the little darlings--I have an impatient nature, and make a lousy
"Grandaddy Type,"

Another item that we have used with great success in CW events is when
the youngster is registered for the event he is given a printed sheet
with four pictures on it of reenactors in period dress who will be at
the event. Beside each picture is a question which is posed by that
reenactor. The youngster finds each person in turn whose picture in on
the sheet, and asks him / her the answer to the question. The youngster
writes the answer on the place provided on the sheet, and the reenactor
signs the written answer. When the sheet is completely filled out, the
youngster returns the completed sheet to the registration desk and
recieves a prize. We have found that most CW "sutlers" (macellum to
you) will be glad to donate a few prizes, or a small bag of individually
wrapped candy can be used). This has been used successfully at more
than one CW event here in the NE and was the major reason for the same
grant being issued to help defray the expenses of the event for an
unheard of three years in a row.

--You could try a junior olympics in throwing a small pilum at a mark,
or throwing stones at a mark. running against a clock, carrying a
legionares pack over a planned route against clock, etc.

--You could try having the kids make thier own carboard helmet,
cardboard sword with a dowel stick down the middle, cardboard greaves,
cardboard pack, a Centurion's staff, and a cardboard breast plate.

--show the girls and boys how to make thread from carded wool, mix up a
simple Roman cold dish (food). Cut up meat and vegetables for a Roman
stew. Add to this the frying of small corn / barley / wheat cakes on a
griddle (we do all of this with adult supervision at school visitations
at a historic house in East Lyme. The kids love it and so do the school
administrators who supply funding for the raw food).

I hope these ideas will help your activity, as they have helped CW
activities here in the NorthEast.

Respectfully;

Marcus Minucius Audens

Fair Winds and Following Seas!!!

Salvete, omnes.

Recently, the website of provincia Thule has been updated to better
reflect how it's currently organised. Check it out at:

http://thule.novaroma.org

Not all edicts are posted yet, some are still awaiting conversion to
.html-format, but most of the changes imposed by those are reflected on
the Thule website. If you notice anything that's not right, or that's
missing, please contact me. I live at:

I'll do my best to consider your opinions and change what needs to be
changed ASAP. All input is greatly appreciated!

From:	"curiobritannicus" <Marcusaemiliusscaurus@hotmail.com>
Date:	Sun, 23 Jun 2002 19:02:47 -0000

Salvete omnes,

Here ends the Ludi Vestalia! This is the last day, but I hope that
its legacy shall endure - the biographical dictionary. Although I
have received some biographies, more would be greatly appreciated!
If you would like to write the biography of a Roman who you are
particularly interested in, then please e-mail me at
marcusscribonius@hotmail.com - I will not stop accepting them just
because the Ludi are over. I hope that the encyclopaedia will
continue to grow.

As to the chainquiz, some people did answer yesterday's question
correctly. The first was Livia Cassia Servilia, who knew that the
largest baths in Rome were Diocletian's baths.

Of course, there do not need to be Ludi to organise such a chainquiz,
which fairly easy to do. If anyone else feels inspired to organise
such an activity, then please feel free to do so - it would be nice
to see someone do this, and be assured that you'll have my full
support!

And finally, the cultural contribution vote. This shall be detailed
in a separate post.

I hope that you have all enjoyed the Ludi Vestalia. I now hand you
over to my honourable colleague, Tiberius Apollonius Cicatrix, who is
organising the upcoming Ludi.

Bene valete,
Marcus Scribonius Curio Britannicus,

Salvete omnes,

The vote has drawn to a close, and you will be pleased to know that
each of your votes had immense influence - the winner was only one
vote ahead of the other two!

A week ago, I asked you all to vote for the three people who had
gained most votes in the previous vote:

Caeso Fabius Quintilianus
Antonius Gryllus Graecus
Marcus Minucius Audens

Each of these has contributed a great deal to Nova Roma, and I salute
each of you good men for being in the shortlist. However, the
winner, by one vote, was Antonius Gryllus Graecus.

Congratulations, Antonius Gryllus Graecus! While no material prize
rewards you, may I be the first to congratulate you! You have given
much to Nova Roma, and I hope you are pleased by this recognition of
all the work you have done.

Once again, congratulations to all three men, but especially Antonius
Gryllus Graecus.

Bene valete,
