Salve.
Just to announce I'm now a new citizen of Nova Roma. My name is
Octavia Fabia Scriba. I write original stories and fictional diaries
or audio plays (anyone in Nova Roma can perform free anytime)set in
ancient Rome and post them on my ancient Roman literature Web site
at http://reminiscencemedia.tripod.com/html/ which is under
construction. I'm still revising my one-act play, excellent for
audio set in 200 BCE. The rest of my postings on my Web site will be
short stories about ordinary life in rome in the 200 BCE to 170 BCE
era, give or take a few years as I research my historical
happenings/facts.
Is anyone familiar with the opera/ballet titled Elisa, Queen of
Carthage based on the Roman Africanus, who after conquoring Hannibal
and finishing up in Carthage attracts the attention of the new
Queen? The dance/ballet/opera was performed a few years ago by a
Beirut (Phoenecian)dance company traveling to various nations to
perform "Elisa." Would anyone know what the Roman influence was on
Armenia in 200 BCE? I'm writing a story based on the folkloric
Armenian legend of Prince Vatchakan and a girl named Anahid
(Armenian history), but moving the setting to Rome in 200 BCE.
The proverb the story that the story is based on is: the tweechig
(Armenian/Ururatian Queen) will marry the Roman senator if he learns
an artisan trade, like carpentry or metalworking besides his
senatorial, professonal/legal status in Rome. In any case. I'm just
introducing myself. I'm Octavia, and I've written 30 books an am
focusing on researching and writing one authentic-detail of history-
detective novel called The Ransomer, based in Rome 200 BCE.
So hello, everyone. I live in California and my favorite ancestor
came to the US from the hill country suburbs an hour from Rome 120
years ago. You can check out my other Web sites also.
I just finished reading Stephen Saylor's novel, Arms of Nemisis ab
out Marcus Licnius Crassus, whom he calls, "one of history's biggest
losers." Saylor says this was because at his height of power and
prestige as the "richest man in Rome," he got himself decapitated in
53BCE in a campaign against the Parthians. He also, in the novel,
burned down a home because he wanted to buy the house next to it,
then persuaded the owner to sell cheap, and after getting the
contract or money, proceded to have his private fire brigade
extinguish the flames. Now that's the kind of writing that's based
on detailed historical research!
The author, (who writes in the first person) also gives a good list
of bographies of the Romans he writes about in his novels.
Wonderful. It helps novelists like us find bibliographies so we can
pick up on other characters and get inspired by historical
happenings to do our own stories and novels. Then Saylor recommends
Pliny's Natural History, as the most complete guide to Roman
painting. I like this as I'm also a book cover designer. So hello
everyone.
Vale,
Octavia Fabia Scriba

love to read, and suspect many of our fellow cives likewise may
require a constant supply of reading materials.
Roman daily life is my particular area of interest (and when I've
sufficient time, I try to add to my own web site,

Salvete Omnes,
I am a new Nova Roma citizen!
I'm a software engineer specializing in public safety systems
for police, fire and EMS agencies; work that has kept me quite
busy since 9/11. Besides my 20+ years of experience in software
I also served for 10 years in the U.S. Army in Military Intelligence
(yes, I know that is an oxymoron :)). I reside in the Province
of California with my life partner and our two cats.
My interest in Rome goes back to high school, where I studied
Latin for four year (more years ago than I care to mention :)).
I have always maintained my interest in Roman history, culture,
etc. but the language skills deteriorated from lack of use.
Recently I decided re-learn my forgotten Latin, not only for
the intellectual exercise, but with a view to reviving my former
studies of Roman history as a sort of hobby. I discovered the
Nova Roma web site while surfing for Latin sites.
I was immediately facinated with the concept of reviving the
Roman culture, values and religion. I've been involved with and
done studies of various pagan religions for many years. There is
a small shrine to Vesta over our hearth and a small alter in one
room.
After looking more closely at Nova Roma in the days after I found
it, I made the decision to apply for citizenship.
I give thanks to Fortuna for smiling upon me and leading me to
find Nova Roma. I have "lurked" on the mailing list for a few
days and I am very pleased with what I see. The earnest and
serious tone of the postings tells me that this I have found
sincere people who really believe in the goals of Nova Roma,
which is, as I'm sure you all know, far too uncommon on the Web.
I hope that I will be able to be of service to my Gens, my
Province and to the Senate and the People of Nova Roma.
Velete,
Livia Cornelia Hibernia

Without touching on the debate of Senate powers, I hope you don't
mind me pointing out that the idea of Nova Roma intending to become a
nation-state is a misconception, albeit a common one. It has never
been a stated goal of Nova Roma to become a nation-state, a
macronation where all Nova Romans will live. Our stated goal is to
create a 108 acre forum which will be the physical focal
point/administrative center for Nova Roma, a place where a forum,
temples and other buildings will be built. I liken our future status
to the Knights of Malta, or the Catholic Church with its Vatican
City, though whether our center will be ever be considered sovereign
in that sense, I do not know. Ultimately that does not matter anyway;
our sense of community comes from Nova Roma, not from without.
Like these other organizations I mentioned, membership in Nova Roma
will always be voluntary; our laws will never have the coercive
powers backed by force that macronations do. For this I am thankful.
Any perceived abuse by the senate or magistrates could always be
answered by voting with one's feet and leaving.
Vale,
Decius Iunius Palladius

and if it does are there any plans to celebrate it in any special way?
Just something to think about.

Salve Romans Debate and the Eagle
As I have stated in the past we would like to have within the pages of the Eagle an on going series of informed, lively and civil debates on different topics of interest to the Citizens of Nova Roma. Given the nature of written debates it would allow for more sober refection than the Main list allows because of the main list instantaneous nature. I would like to ask Citizens to ponder this question and then send your responses to the Eagle, sprq753@msn.com , for inclusion in an up coming issue
The Constitution of Nova Roma reads in part :
"We recognize the modern political realities which make the restoration of such ancient lands to us impossible. Therefore we limit our active territorial claim to an amount of land at least equal to that held by the sovereign state of Vatican City; 108 contiguous acres. On this land a world capital for the administration of our culture will be founded in the form of a Forum Romanum. The exact site for this New Roman governmental and spiritual capital is to be determined.
What form would our City take and what, if anything would we bring with us , from the macro world, when we move to Nova Roma ?
I look forward to reading you informed and civil debate.

A. Apollonius Cordus to Praetor, Senator & Consular D.
Iunius Palladius, greetings.
Thank you for your correction. I went back to look
again at the Declaration of Nova Roma, and I see that
I had indeed over-simplified its ideas in my memory.
The phrases identifying Nova Roma as "a sovereign
nation" near the beginning stuck in my mind more
firmly than the later parts.
I myself am of the view that with regard to her own
citizens Nova Roma ought to behave like a state,
within the obvious limitation that our laws are not
recognized by the international community. Naturally
the state cannot coerce, and should not seek to, but
this should not lead the state to hold its
responsibility to its citizens in less serious regard
than if it in fact had such coercive power. It is
important that people can leave if they want to, but
at the same time I feel it's desirable for the state
to be constituted and governed in a way which does not
make people want to leave, but which on the contrary
would make people glad to be observe the laws as if
they were genuinely binding.
Just to be clear, I'm not seeking in the above
paragraph to disagree or enter an argument with you,
and I don't imply that you would not share these
views: I merely set out my own feelings on the matter,
for the record as it were, and for the interest of
anyone who is interested!
Thanks again for prompting me to check and think more
carefully about this question.
Cordus

It's been a while since I posted to the main list, but yes, that date is quite familiar. I would like to see citizens come up with some suggestions and ideas to celebrate.
Perhaps those of us who practice the Religio Romano, could offer sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Gods and Goddesses on that date at our home shrine or altar. Nova Romans of other faiths could follow their practices in offering thanksgiving. Just an idea.
And certainly special thanks to honorable Marcus Cassius Julianus, Senator, P.P. and many thanks to the Gods and Goddesses for giving him the inspiration.

It is always a pleasure to hear from another citizen, especially one who is both a Roman and a Hibernian. We on the edge of the Roman world need to keep together so the other Romans don't find out about the 'water of life'. I look forward to hearing from you on the main list as it sounds like you have a great deal to offer the Republic. May the gods grant you good fortune.

You must overlook my fellow provinicial citizen's hype. The Tarquitii have always been overly proud. . . which is probably the reason that they are no longer the Kings of Rome. We Galeria are much more subtle in out wit, intelligence, and abilities. . . plus we are more modest.

The invitiation that I just issued to Octavia a few minutes ago
I shall also extend to you. If you're so inclined, please come by
the Taverna (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NR_Tavern) for a virtual
glass of wine in honor of your new citizenship.
I'm guessing you're a graduate of beautiful Fort Huachuca, from
what you mentioned of your military background. Maybe you and
I could swap a few stories about that too, should you wish.
In any case, welcome.

Salvete omnes,
I just arrived home for a just a few days from my northern projects
and wanted to say hello. I sure needed a break from the -47 C
weather. Marcus Aurelius would be proud of my stoicism .
I am happy to see Res Republica is flourishing and the new
administration is in place. I still have another 6 or 7 weeks of work
left but I'll have a lot of time to contribute to NR when I return.
I'll keep in touch over the next few days until my departure on
Tuesday.
Valete bene,
Quintus Lanius Paulinus

Interesting viewpoint. My experience with Earthlink has been just the opposite. I have found them to be very helpful, and I have never had a service problem, billing problem, or any other problem with them. I've been with them now for about 4 years, originally dial-up, now DSL. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about other ISP's.

What's the possibility of buying or leasing an island (preferably nice & warm!) as some of the ultra-capitalist money-making micros have done? On the other hand, there's also that when Italy founbd out what Damanhur had built under the Alps and turned up to demolish it, Damanhur appealed to the Arts Ministry as a national treasure and was accepted. No doubt a surreptitiously reconstructed Forum Romanorum would also merit consideration.

Salvete omnes,
I have promised to write 4 articles about Roman-themed websites for
the local universitys history faculty newsletter. The idea would be
to pick some themes and to find 6-8 best sites regarding each of
those themes and shortly introduce them to the readers of the
newsletter. The audience is mainly history students and historians.
The reason for writing this article series is to help those
historians and students who have no time or willingness to find out
themselves some good resources from the net about ancient Rome. The
newsletter is not big publication, but it reaches quite wide audience.
I have collected some bookmarks for myself on different areas, but I
would also like to hear from you others what would you suggest to be
the best sites on the following themes:
for issue 1/2003: re-enactment
for issue 2/2003: technology, science, engineering
for issue 3/2003: everyday life
for issue 4/2003: Latin
The first article is obviously more interesting for the students, but
the rest three could well interest professionals in those fields.
In every article I will of course mention NR and also the names of
the people who have helped me in this article series. The newsletter
is in Finnish and I will publish the writings at the Regio Finnica
website. I will also translate them into English and send them for
the Eagle once they are ready and see if Eagle wants to publish them.
Valete,
