I've used Coca-Cola to clean my cymbals before. Worked pretty well, but my drum sticks kept getting stuck. I guess that's one way to hold on to what should still be considered good money!

Coca Cola is good at cleaning ancient roman coins? I've been cleaning Roman
coins for years now using TSP Industrial Cleaner and Olive Oil, but that
takes years (which I why I tried to see if the Kaboom would work faster).

I think I've found a solution to the loss of Beseen. I'm not sure if everyone will like it, but I think it's worth a try. Here's the address: http://www.topica.com/lists/Forum_Romanum/
I'm sure everyone will open up if they don't like it, that's part of being human.

between a morphological case (i.e. case denoted and defined by and

shift of particular word's meaning throught its usage, as if it
actually had endings for particular cases, as French might be). If a
native speaker of Romanian perceives one same form as several cases,
then several cases it is, despite the fact that it's basically the
very same form. Syntaxic case is not any lesser than morphological
case. It's just far more subtle, as it doesn't have outward
appearance that could easily give it away to unskillfull eye. I
suppose that in time native speakers of such languages lose the
ability to find any distinction in meaning, as the archaic concept of
cases fades away from their minds. Romanian, clearly, hasn't reached
that point. Yet.

Yes, thanks for the distinction between morphological and ayntactic
cases. I dont know if in the future the native romanian speakers will
lose the ability to distinguish between them, as long as they are
teached in schools.

Salve Procule,

Well done, I set up, sent a message and everything looks good. You
may want to tell Sen Marcus Octavius Germanicus also because he's
looking for a new site this weekend as well(if you didn't know).
Sorry I spelled part of your name wrong on the message. A few spiced
wines dimmed my wits this evening.

Savete bene!

Salvete,

My opinion is that ancient brass coins should not be cleaned as that
could destruct the crystalic patina and then all the details will
disappear and coin will not be prevented from further corrosion. The
only thing I guess ancient brass need is to wash them very carefully
with a soft brush from the soil remainings. That is the best in my
opinion. If the coin is dameged by progressing corrosion there could
be applied some chemical methods of conservation creating a
protecting patina in a certain colour. Anyway that is a very
sensetive issue and folks trained in work with chemicals could do it
successfuly. Me definitely not.

Bene valete

The likelihood is that modern copper isn't copper any more than
silver is silver (sad to lose our silver coins this year) or that the
Roman had accreted so many other exotic compunds over the centuries
that it all reacted unexpectedly. Maybe you're lucky that it wasn't
Kaboom for real!

Topica is a mailing list provider, much like Yahoo groups. A list there
would be very much like our current main list - and having two such
lists would be confusing.

What we're looking for in an online message board is something like
the old Beseen system. It should be primarily web-based, rather than
mail-based; feature organization of the messages by thread; allow
anonymous posting (or, at least, quick account creation).

I will research solutions and try to get something installed on
the server this weekend.

Vale, Octavius.

Salve Alexander Probe,

Even if you could polish or clean the Copper or brass coins without
damage would this not greatly devalue these items in a similar way as
antique furniture, pottery, guns etc?

From: GAIVS IVLIANVS <ivlianvs309@yahoo.com>
Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2002 12:39:40 -0700 (PDT)
SALVETE ROMANI! It would be interesting to hear from
others just how on a daily basis they adhere to the
Cultus Deorum and honor the Dei Familiae! For example
myself, the first thing upon rising in the early
morning and after ritually washing my hands and face I
approach my Lararium and pray to Ianus Pater
Matutinus, my Gens deity, my Lar, Penates, Genius and
Vesta which doesn't even take ten minutes. I always
look forward to the festivals, and the monthly
Kalendae, Nonae and the Idus. This coming Dies Solis
(Sept. 1st) I will weave a small corona out of
rosemary to crown the head of my Lar statue and weave
a little larger one to place into a little silver
Patera to place at His feet. All of which will be
ritually presented to Him "pro copia" in the morning
rite on the Kalendae. I will present to all the Dei
Familiae a little Spelt wheat cracker sprinkled with
salt and a bay leaf to ritually burn on the fire as
the main Kalendae offering along with incense (Thus).
Besides the above mentioned Numina I will offer
incense to Iuno Regina who rules the Kalendae with
Ianus. Later in the evening at Cena a silver Salinum
(saltcellar) and a Patera will adorn the center of my
mensa or dinner table along with a wine cup. Before my
meal is over I will have brought the Lar statue to the
table placed on a tray and will burn some incense to
Him and poured a small libation of the vinum to Him
and pronounced the words "Dii Propitii!" While
dinning I will be wearing my festive synthesis or
dinner tunica and listening to reconstructed Roman or
Greek music from a recording or CD.
Is there anyone
else who does as I do in the traditional Roman way of
Cultus?! It would be nice to know that I'm not the
ONLY observant Roman, or who carries the Cultus as far
as this? DII VOS BENE AMENT! VALETE! FRATER GAIVS
IVLIVS IVLIANVS, PGI.
