Off the top of my head I do not know about individual Roman
sculptures-in-the-round, but in Greek and Roman times most sculptures
and reliefs were painted quite vividly. Hence the blank eye sockets:
such details were usually painted on. The triumphal arches throughout
Rome were once all a-riot with pigment which in the last two
millennia has been worn off by wind, rain, and the modern world's
growing problem with air pollution, which has mutilated some of the
most remarkable two-hundred year old architecture in Paris and given
even the Coliseum a run for her denarii. The structures crowning the
Athenian Acropolis are having an especially difficult time, Athens
being quite an active harbour to this day. When I was there two years
ago a old oily cargo ship had just gone up in a ball of flames; that
can't be good for the marble. Luckily the breeze was heading out to
sea that day, or I might not have had such a nice view from the top
of the hill!
On a side note, many Greek statues from the early periods still have
traces of their paint; as an example I refer you to the Kritios Boy
in 480 BCE, the Acropolis Kore from 510 BCE, and the Peplos Kore from
530 BCE. My favourite is the Anavysos Kouros ("Kroisos"), also from
530 BCE. Painted statues were also popular in Egypt before and after
the 'Amarna Incident'. Painted sculpture has been followed back to at
least 7000 BCE Jericho in the form of restored features on human
skulls painted with life-like detail.
I had an Art midterm today. :) Can you tell?

Upon reading and re-reading this post, I think the proposal of Manius
Constantius Seraptio is summed up in one word "demographics"...a word
which I would not expect a civie who knows English as a second
language to be totally familiar with.
This should not be contrued as a tag of racism, or minorities.....we
are all, in a sense, a minority in this vast word of some 4 billion
plus people. Although, some interesting discussion has evolved from
this.
I raised the same questions when a law for a Census was
promulgated...we could gather alot of beneficial demographic data in
doing this. Unfortunately, such a Census is a good deal of work and
expensive, but when it is practical, it will prove, in my opinion, to
be useful.
It will be useful to know how many tax payers we had last year in
determining a realistically accurate budget for the following year
It will be useful to determine the stronger areas of growth in Nova
Roma and where she needs to advertise more. Here in, the excellent
website by Manius Constantius et al is reaching out to Africa to
invite those who would like to celebrate Roman culture and virtue
with us.
It will prove useful in the planning of a Nova Roma gathering...where
are the most civites?
It is beneficial to know the mean average age of each Nova Roma
citizen...how many impuberes? How many familia which are blood
related with no adopted filia?
etc. etc.
For the moment, I feel if he would like to collect such data, this
would be fine. However, I feel it would be more accurate if it were
incorporated into a Census. Look at it this way...Jury duty is not
optional, right? Neither is a Census, and therefore it is more
accurate. My personal views only :)
So as Dominus Praefectus of Egressus, the outreach sodalitas, these
questions are very practical from Manius Constantius, and although
his words could easily be interpreted as wanting to know the 'race'
of people, as maybe opposed to where they live and other data, ie
talents, occupations, his intent, to my interpretation
is 'demographic' in nature.
I of course have the advantage of knowing him a bit better and can
thus shed light on his intentions a bit better.
As much as I would not want people to get the wrong idea about his
intent, I do relish the excellent historical discussions and
practical discussions which have surfaced from this proposal, and the
excellent suggestions to him, from those who seem to recognize his
true intent.

Is that "kind" the reason of the misunderstanding?
When I am hurry I usually try to write using easy words, so that I
haven't to use my dictionary. When I say "the kind of person", I mean
the average citizen (I hope "average" is the right word...I also
found "mean").
I am obviously speaking of demographic and statistic matters!!!
Thank you, Pompeia, for clarifying my true intentions.

It's not a subject to find dispassionate study on either! Unfortunately, xenophobia and fear of colonisation are too often confused with 'racism' - which has actually replaced what used to be termed 'racialism', 'racism' being merely acknowledging the concept of races, and there is a 'racist' tendency to apply it only to Europeans, as if it can be justified (or tolerated) in other races because they know no better: so it is 'racist' when old Englishmen recall following black American GIs as children, despite being shocked at their different treatment by their own people from white GIs , but not 'racist' when some reporter from the wilds of China remarks on the hordes of children trying to touch her blonde hair because they've never seen it before.

He/she will be reminded publicly in the forum and he/she will not take
part in the following Ludi.
3) How it will be the competition?
The competition is for elimination (quarter, semi-finals and final).
Every race will take 4 participants.
In the Quarter there is one player as every factio, the first two
players continue running, the last two are eliminated.
In the Semifinals there are the winners of the Quarter, the first
players run to the Final.
In the Final the 4 best players runs, the first is the Winner.
This is the schedule:
QUARTER, 32 players
Run in Semifinal the firs two aurigae SEMIFINAL, 16 players
Run in Final the firs aurigae FINAL, 4 players
Win the first
4) How the races will be?
4.1. ACCIDENTS.
Before doing the calculations of a race, the editor determine who has
an accident. For it, he roll one dice 0-100 for every chariot. The
resultant number will be its percentage of accident.
- The drivers with tactics 1 will have 0 to 15 percentage of accident
always. 0 to 25 if there are one or more drivers with tactics 4 or 5.
- The drivers with tactics 2 will have 0 to 20 percentage of accident
always. 0 to 35 if there are one or more drivers with tactics 4 or 5.
- The drivers with tactics 3 will have 0 to 10 percentage always.
- The drivers with tactics 4 will have 0 to 15 percentage always. 0 to
25 if there are other drivers with tactics 4.
- The drivers with tactics 5 will have 0 to 15 always. 0 to 25 if there
are other drivers with tactics 5.
- The drivers with tactics 6 will have 0 to 5 percentage always. 0 to
20 if there are other drivers with tactics 4 or 5.
4.2) CALCULATION OF THE RACES.
After determining which chariots (if any) have been eliminated from a
race due to an accident, the editor must calculate the order in which
the remaining teams finished the race.
The editor will roll one dice 0-10 for every player. This will be the
Value of Race (VR) of every car.
To know the final position of a chariot in the race the VR of every
player is divided by the sum of all the VR and the result is multiplied
by 50. This way we have its Chance to Win (CW).
For example, if there is a race with 4 chariots with these VR: 6,5,4,2
then the first chariot, with the VR 6, would have the following Chance
to to Win: 6/17 (17 is the sum of 6+5+4+2) x 50 = 17.6 (rounding, 18).
The CW of the first chariot will be 18 points. The second chariot, with
VR 5, would have 5/17x50 = 14.7 (rounding, 15), therefore its CW is 15
points.
The tactics modify the CW of the following way:
Tactics 1) +6 points.
Tactics 2) +8 points.
Tactics 3) No points. The tactics 4 and 5 do not affect it.
Tactics 4) +2 points. The tactics 5 do not affect it.
Tactics 5) +2 points. The tactics 4 do not affect it.
Tactics 6) +4 points.
Assign each team a specific range of numbers out of a series of 100
that is equal to the team's Chance to Win. Assign these team ranges
consecutively. In our sample race, for example, Chariot 1's range (with
tactics 2) would be 01 through 25 (18+7). Chariot 2's range (with
tactics 4) would be 26 through 40.
The final step for the Editor is to roll a dice 0-100 to determine the
order of finish. The chariot within whose range the first dice 0-100
roll falls is the team that finishes the race in first place. The
chariot within whose range the second dice 0-100 roll falls is the team
that finishes the race in second place. The chariot within whose range
the third D100 roll falls is the chariot that finishes the race in
third place. And so on. Once a chariot's position has been determined,
ignore subsequent rolls that fall within its range and roll again.
In our sample race, the first die roll result is 25. This makes chariot
2 (Range 26-40) the first place winner.
5) Time schedule
*October 5, 2002: Announcement of the races' instructions and opening
of the inscriptions (a maximum of 32 players)
* October 15: Deadline for the inscriptions
* October 17:
h. 7:00 PM (time of Rome): Announcement by C.Fabius Quintilianus and

2) This is the situation on the field in the start of the battle. As we
can see, there is in the bottom of the picture the enemy's army, the
soldiers of Carthago and african alleated. On the top there is the
Roman Army.
You have 6 miltary units with different Speed and Power:

- 1 Roman Cavalry [S4 - P2 = 6]
- 1 Allied Cavalry [S5 - P3 = 7]
- 1 Roman Legion [S1 - P5 = 6]
- 2 Allied Alae Sociorum [S1 - P3 = 4] x 2 = 8
... againt 6 units of the Carthago's Army:

- 1 Numidian Cavalry [S5 - P3 = 8]
- 1 Celtic-Iberian Cavalry [S3 - P3 = 6]

Scientists Find Earliest Roman London Plaque
Fri Oct 11, 8:16 AM ET
By Jeremy Lovell
LONDON (Reuters) - Archaeologists excavating an ancient site in London said on Friday they
had unearthed the oldest known plaque inscribed with the city's Roman name.
"This is hugely important," Francis Grew, curator of archaeology at the Museum of London told
reporters. "It is the first real monumental inscription with the word Londinium on it.
"It is also visually the most important inscription we have even found in London. The words are
just as clear as people would have seen them 2,000 years ago," he added.
The Italian marble plaque, found in the Southwark area of London at the junction of three key
Roman roads, is dedicated to the Roman emperors and the god Mars from London-based
merchant Tiberinius Celerianus.
It refers to "Londiniensium" which Grew said could either be a variant of the more usual
"Londinium" or, more likely, a reference to Tiberinius as being "of the people of Londinium."
Gary Brown of Pre-Construct Archaeology which is carrying out the major dig on the one hectare
site on the southern banks of the River Thames said the plaque was found in a pit near the
remains of two large Roman brick buildings.
"The buildings could have been trading guild houses or even villas. We just don't know yet," he
said.
Grew said the plaque probably dated from between 50 and 150 AD and would have been
placed prominently either on a building or in a shrine.

Mirabile dictu! Londinium or Lud-dunium I wonder. Given the references to Lud (Llydd in later Welsh, Lug[h] in Irish), could Londinon (probably more like Lundynon) have been a local dialect version of the mainland Lugdunum - as in modern Leyden and Lyons? I've seen many unconvincing origins for the name except the most obvious.
