Even here in the American provinces, many citizens of NR (and other pagani as
well) know the joys of living with their parents or part of an extended
family. One of our local ladies who is a devotee of Minerva-Athena Parthenos
lives with her strict fundamentalist Christian parents and siblings. She has
an altar set up on the hill overlooking the Parthenon in Nashville.

From:	PADRUIGTHEUNCLE@aol.com
Date:	Sat, 7 Sep 2002 19:50:09 EDT

Oh my! The SCA is not a perfect institution! Horrors! Who would have
thought it.
Sorry, I just had an attack of sarcasm. However, it should be pointed out
that the SCA is an evolving subculture that sprang from the widely divergent
era of the 1960s and has as many facets as the people who are members. I
agree that there have been some peers and crowns that were on major ego trips
but the majority of both groups (in my experience) are genuinely noble-minded
individuals who worked very hard to obtain their awards. The SCA, to quote
Tom Lehr, is like a sewer--you get out of it what you put into it. My
ex-wife worked very hard for the Kingdom of Meridies and when she was called
to court to receive a number of her awards, she came straight from the
kitchen or some other job she was performing. She has always treated
everyone very well and I can rarely recall a time when she played politics.
After our divorce, she was Queen of Meridies to Duke Sir John the Bearkiller
and she worked just as hard as ever. The people of her home group have
honored her with awards and even made her baroness. This was not due to
"butt-kissing" but because the honors were a way to show appreciation for all
the hard work and the pleasant way she interacted with others; and continues
to do. I have heard horror stories from every group in the SCA and have even
been accused of being part of them but you almost always hear the worst
rather than the best. The SCA has a whole continues to be a positive
influence on the lives of its members just as you would find in any such
organization be it civil, religious, or cultural. I'm sure that 25 years
from now there will be complaints about how NR has gone downhill with
politics, 'Cataline Conspiracies', and all kinds of problems. I personally
believe that NR will have just as much staying power as the SCA and will
continue to be a source of joy and pride for its citizens. Vale.

Ah, nothing like healthy debate to keep the Republic true to its laws and

this thread, as the most unpleasant thing said so far regards 'moribund

I don't receive mail through there (I prefer to publish addresses in my

My main spamfighting effort is to provide one of the name servers for

Salve,
Speer's style didn't come from Hitler, though Hitler
did order his ideas to be incorparated into offical
buildings. Speer recognized that Roman buildings still
displayed a monumental air long after they had fallen
into ruins. His goal was for Nazi Buildings to have
the same effect in the far distant future after the
thousand" year reich colapsed. He summed up his
"Theory of Ruin Value" in this section of his memoirs

"The idea was that buildings of modern construction
were poorly suited to form that 'bridge of tradition'
to future generations which Hitler was calling for. It
was hard to imagine that rusting heaps of rubble could
communicate these heroic inspirations which Hitler
admired in the monuments of the past. My 'theory' was
intended to deal with this dilemma. By using special
materials and by applying certain principles of
statics, we should be able to build structures which
even in a state of decay, after hundreds or (such were
our reckonings) thousands of years would more or less
resemble Roman models.

To illustrate my ideas I had a romantic drawing
prepared. It showed what the reviewing stand on the
Zeppelin Field would look like after generations of
neglect, overgrown with ivy, its columns fallen, the
walls crumbling here and there, but the outlines still
clearly recognizable. In Hitler's entourage this
drawing was regarded as blasphemous. That I could even
conceive of a period of decline for the newly founded
Reich destined to last a thousand years seemed
outrageous to many of Hitler's closest followers. But
he himself accepted my ideas as logical and
illuminating. He gave orders that in the future the
important buildings of his Reich were to be erected in
keeping with the principles of this 'law of ruins'."

From:	"n_cassius_niger" <menippus@attbi.com>
Date:	Sun, 08 Sep 2002 03:48:19 -0000

Salvete omnes!
I must add to the praise of Roman Market Day; today was a series of
firsts for me. It was the first Nova Roma event I have ever
attended, the first time I have met any fellow Novoromani in the
flesh, and the first time I have ever donned tunica and toga. I was
so excited to wear these garments; it was if I was a teenager
donning the toga virilis. (So, I'm ten years behind...so what?) I
would like to extend my gratitude to La Wren's Nest for their
helpfulness in this endeavor.
About an hour into the event my friend Jimmy (whom for the day I
named Iacomus), who accompanied me, remarked that everyone was so
friendly. Even though it was my first time at anything Nova Roman, I
was approached with Comitas. The sense of community was sincere and
apparent. For the most fleeting moment, I saw what will be when Nova
Roma transcends from its current form into a sovereign entity.
I would also like to thank M. Minucius Audens, vir clarissimus, for
inviting me into his tent for shade and conversation (Thankfully, I
knew not to sit in the sella curulis...), and Gallio Velius
Marsallas, Maximus Mercurius Gladius, and the rest of the Ludus
Magnus Gladiatore for inviting me to participate in their
reenactment of speculating a Gladiator. (Even if I had to be an
effete Greek philosopher for the day. :) I must add that I fear I
embraced the role too well for my own tastes, even choosing to eat a
fully Greek meal consisting solely of olives and bread with honey.)
Even though we Epicureans are often accused of apragmosyne (not
participating in the public life of a republic), I hope my actions
have helped to combat that libelous stereotype. In fact, I gained a
sense of polypragmosyne in meeting my fellow Cassia. Again, I would
like to thank Patricia Cassia, femina clarissima, and M. Cassius
Julianus, vir clarissimus, for organizing this event and helping me
don my toga. It was also a pleasure to meet G. Cassius Nerva and I
hope to talk with him again in the near future.
Unfortunately, I could not will the Sun to adjust its course and all
days must come to an end. Furthermore, Iacomus who also provided my
transportation for the day was eager to get on the road and return
home. However, I hope to experience again the community of a Nova
Roma event in the very near future.

If we claim that fascism or even national socialism
has no merit, we are in a sense blaiming the weapon
instead of the culprit. Nothing as broad as 'fascistic
values' has inherent value such a human being...True
fascism isnt 'bad'. If go down this road we find fault
with books and not men. If you think Speer didnt have
a classical bone in his body, perhaps you dont
understand that in it's heart of hearts(though
perverted)all of the 'isms' like Fascism, communism,
National socialism...where reactions against
'modernity'(read:chaos) and stem from the same essence
as our own fascination. If we trully had a CULTURE or
CIVILIZATION to speak of, we would embrace it like we
embrace old Rome...We are longing after beauty,
strength, order, practicality...Nova Roma is a
reaction against the chaos and insensitivity and
ugliness of today. It is a reaction to the
gracelessness of modern life. Is is a return to our
own heart and center, our occidentality...fascism is
about this too. At our center is Classicism. At our
center is Rome.
I used speer as an example. Look at the sculpture of
Paul Manship. Personally i prefer Adolph Loos to
Speer, but I like the clarity and magnitude of Speer.
We did the same thing in the 'freeworld' at the same
time as speer: Take a look at the Musee de l'art
Moderne de la ville de Paris....at is center courtyard
is a Large ultra modern Bronze Minerva. The design is
identical to Speer. There are so many other examples
of twentieth century classicism...many were lost in
the war. A few millenial classical projects have been
completed too. New Rome must be new! If all we have is
'Reproductions' of actual buildings we force a divide
between the past and the continuation of history, OUR
FUTURE.......we safely keep Rome behind us, looking at
the past for assurance, while remaining outside
it..and remain blind to the extended road before us
Instead, we should raise buildings fit for Nova
Romans, and their descendants.....buildings placed in
the here and now, looking forward brightly, looking in
the past reverently.

Marcus Quintius Clavus and Gallio Vellius Marsalis did an excellent job

Marcus Minucius Audens, who has a seemingly limitless ability to hold a
group of people spellbound, did double duty, presenting information about
the military auxiliaries while also performing as part of the Ludus Magnus =

We also had the pleasure of meeting Numerius Cassius Niger, Gaius Lanius

his wife traveled all the way from Maryland to attend!

We were honored to have the presence of two more Senators who came
considerable distances to be with us -- Decius Iunius Palladius and Gaius

There was much talk of doing the event again next year, so I expect
something will be in the works shortly -- at a bigger site!

Subject:	[Nova-Roma] Roman Market Days -- After Action Report
From:	jmath669642reng@webtv.net
Date:	Sun, 8 Sep 2002 18:27:31 -0400 (EDT)

Ladies and Gentlemen of Nova Roma;

I am pleased to secondarily report the success of the Roman Market Days
Event. I wish to thank Senators Cassia, and Cassius for thier extensive
efforts in arranging the event, and the efforts of the "Wren's Nest" as
co-sponsors both as a Roman Sutlery, and as excellent Roman friends of
the first class!

My wife and I arrived in Wells in the early afternoon and almost
immediately made contact with the Ludi Maxmus Gladitori Commander
"Maximus" Mecurius Minucius Gladius. We shared notes on the location of
the event, and after some refreshment from the long drive North, we went
out to the "Sacred Oaks" grounds there to meet the "Wren's Nest" people
and be assigned to our positions. On Friday P.M. we set up tents and
furniture and used the very convienent building at the event grounds to
store valuable items for the Event te follwing day.

While we were at the event grounds Commander Gallio (Legio XXIV) arrived
and began setting up the Legio displays. Maximus began the set-up of
the Gladitori School, I set up the Senators's tent and the perimeter
stakes, and the "Wolf of Britain" and his wife arrived also and set up
thier tent and furniture.

In the late afternoon Maximus, Gallio, the Wolf and his wife, myself and
my wife adjourned from our labors and had a very nice supper at a local
"Steakhouse" restaurant in Wells, and then argreeing to meet at 0880 in
the morning went off for a good night's sleep.

We joined the others at about 0800 in the morning and completed the camp
and school set-up by 10:00 A.M., at which time the visitors began to
arrive. The program called for a Gladiator's activity in the morning
and a set of Gladiator fights in the afternoon.

The morning program was a skit put on in the Gladitori Camp which
featured the offer of membership in the Gladitori School to the "Wolf of
Britain" an an angry, frustrated and very dangerous British barbarian
who had distinguished himself in the "games" by his ability to survive,
and to deal effectively with his opponents. The skit was completeed to
the satisfacton of all, by "Wolf" accepting the offer, after an
explanation by "Maximus" to the crowd of spectators of how he had come
to the part of a Gladiator from the honorable position as a promising
Legionary.

The four Gladiators then spent the rest of the day demonstratng the work
out against each other and against the "practice butts" of the school.
The "Wolf" has designed and built a "tilting target" for the training of
gladiators and the weapons and helmet display set out for the pleasure
of the visitors was very extensive. New gate banners of red and black
were (by "Wren's Nest) were well executed as were the banner holders,
and several people from the Ludi contributed new material for the
school. This is very satisfying to know that all the meembers of the
Ludi are interested in furtherin both Nova Roma and the Ludi as well.
This is the kind of a reenactment unit to be a part of in my estimation.

Meanwhile just a few steps away, Commander Gallio and his Legionary were
giving some very informative and impressive presentations regarding the
Legion weapons and artifacts. Both groups pretty well kept up a running
dialog all through the day, answering questions and giving practical
demonstrations as well as verbal presentations. Meanwhile "Wren's Nest"
did a nice business based upon thier excellent Roman stock and the
patience of both in answering the multitude of questions asked by the
visitors about the uses of the various pieces offered by the sutler.
The small toy wooden Roman Gladius was a popular item of sale and not
only children but also grandmothers were seen to be carrying the
instruments of Republicam Military Status.

Inside the building were book sutlers and a local Roman Study group, as
well as a a table devoted to Nova Roma materials and Roman artifacts. A
lovely "Roman Board" was provided for the spectators and the dining room
was pretty near full all day. I am told that the food was outstanding,
and the spectators were fully appreciative. There was also a second
period weapon display and some models of various engineering
undertakings and some maps and diagrams associated with Roman
road-building.

Throughout the day, the crowd (many stayed the whole day in order to
sample everything offered) moved between the areas of interest and
recieved Roman presentations related to the various areas ad specific
tools and weapons.

In the mid-afternoon, the crowd was appraised of the about to begin
gladitorial fights of the day. The Vestal was appointed and the Linista
chosen to officiate. Two Aediles were chosen from the crowd as the Game
Managers, and the scene was set for the spectators about the
expectations from a Roman Crowd.

The first battle was between two criminals sentenced to death. They
entered the areana chained together by the foot, one with a shield, and
one with a club. The acting of both of these Gladiators was superb, in
that they both appeared to be completely terrorized by thier situation,
and what was about to happen. The fight between them was furious with
round after round of bashing at each other with shield and club.
Finally the club-man tripped the shield-man with the chain, and
overwhelmed him beating his opponent "to death" with the club.
Unfortunately, the winner of this contest in his relief at being alive
began to brag that he was a "true Gladiator" and "Maximus" was called
into the ring to dispatch him by "breaking" his neck. The sounds of the
dispatch were very impressive!!

The next activity was a point-match between the "Wolf" and Maximus.
This had not been done previously and the Linista would be responsible
to call out three kinds of hits on each person, the tally of which was
kept by each of the two Aediles to be presented to the spectatores for
thier decision as to the winner. Both contestants fought with wooden
swords.

Both Gladiators were experienced and the fight was spirited and
extremely rapid action with the fighters cicleing, looking for advantage
and attacking each other as the oportunity offered. The "Wolf" fought
with a Roman Gladius and a small round shield. Maximus fought with a
Dacian crooked sword, and a medium sized shield. The "Wolf" wore chain
mail on his left arm. Maximus wore padding and leather greaves. At the
end of the first bout Maximus was declared the winner, and the crowd
clamored for more. After a brief respite and an explanation to the
spectators about the weapons and armor being used, the second bout
began. Again the fighters moved in close. "Wolf" had opted for a
larger shield and each man now having the measure of the other bore in
hard on his opponent. Shield bashing and sword thrusts came too fast to
narrate and at last the final winner was declared---"Maximus" all
around!!!!

The participants in the Gladiator Conflict were named and applauded,
Nova Roma was strongly recommended to all present and directions
provided for any participant wishing to be further involved.
Information sheets for Nova Roma, the Sodalitas Militarium, and the Ludi
Maximas Gladitori as well as Legio XXIV were available to all spectators
and were distributed throughout the day.

A few last minute presentations, and the "Roman Market Days" closed for
another year. All who attended as participants agreed that it should be
indulged next year, and many of the spectators went out of thier way to
assure the participants of their support for a next year event.

Senators Muerrulus and wife joined us with children in the afternoon,
and Senator Palladius was with us as well. Master Falco, joind us
together with my new friend and Greek philosopher, and our military man
from Guantanamo Bay and his lovely wife. The Legionary from Legion XXIV
who assisted in the Legio presentations were all most happliy seen again
and the pleasure of having a face-to-face with these was a special one.

Following the day's events we all, as wished to, adjourned to a local
Italian Restaurant for a great supper and much hilarity, and fun. All
in all, it was a superb day and one of the best reenactments that I have
enjoyed in some time. My personal thanks to the Cassi fdor thier idea
and the excellent event. If invited, I will certainly again journey to
the north to partae in such fun again!!!

If I have forgotten anything or anyone, I am sure that I will be
reminded. I am writing this under a time limit as Margaret is waiting
to take me to supper locally. Maximus has promised a more detailed AAR
in the future.

Respectfully;

Marcus Minucius Audens
