Salvete,
I am very pleased, (and a little surprised) to announce that Patricia Cassia
and myself will be travelling to Rome on vacation at the end of this month!
We'll be leaving the US on Feb 28, and will be returning on March 9. :)
We're staying in a hotel right near the Forum, and are planning day trips to
Ostia, Pompeii, etc. This will be our first trip to Rome and I can't wait to
visit the ancient sites, make some surreptitius offerings at some of the
Temples, etc.
If anyone has any trips about travel to Rome, we'd be happy to hear them.
Also, if any of our Italian Citizens would like to meet somewhere, we're up
for it! I can bring NR coins and flags with us if anyone wants any.
Valete,
Marcus Cassius Julianus

Salve I would post a different answer that this but I would be accused of writing about NON-roman topics so I will let this post pass without further comment.

I agree with this and I dislike the modern trned for apolgising for the evil our ancestors did. They did it, saying sorry makes no difference, so did plenty of other people also carry the same evils out, it is almost presumptuous of us to believe we knew better enough to apologise while they did not, so need not.
However, having said all that, what bugs me about Americans is their attitude that they have no skeletons in their cupboard, that they alone have a history of true democracy, tolerance, meritocracy and so on which actually allows them to have a worse history than most of Europe because they cannot see their faults to correct them. If there were ever faults, it was 'then' or 'them' and too much is made of them. Everybody had slavery but only two other nations had the racist legislation which followed it until the mid-sixties: Germany from 1933-45 and South Africa from 1948-93. However different administrations may change and whatever problems they may face there is a certainty that the only way is the American way and everybody else must conform and even if they do not want to, must be '[re-]educated' to do so no matter what the suffering.
It is that refusal to be as others, even making the admission that there have been imperfections into a kind of gloating that they have been cured while others are still cursed with them, that comes across as either arrogant or ignorant exactly as a Victorian gentleman pontificating about the superstition and poverty of India while denouncing Darwin and approving of chimney sweeps sending little boys up chimneys as sound work ethic comes across to us as either a fool or a hypocrite.

Salve,
I Have gotten several of them, but since I use Yahoo
mail for my Nova Roman Businrss they were eliminated
by Yahoo's virus scanners before they reached my
mailbox.
Consul, you likely have nothing to worry about.
Allmost all of these viruses are tailored to one of
the security holes in the Windows Operating system and
they have no effect on Macs or Computers running
Linux.
Quirites, the citizens who's names you see in the
header aren't the people who's computer is infected.
There are several viruses around that mail copies of
themselves to people in the address book. Someone who
has Nova Roman Citizens addresses in thier book has an
infection and the virus is forging the headers to make
it look like the viruses is being sent from other
people.
If you are using any flavor of Windows please check
your computer for a virus, and please be careful about
attachments that you open. A Good rule is to NEVER
open an attachment someone sends to if you aren't
expecting it. Even if you scan it for viruses it could
be a new virus that your antiviruses software dosen't
recognize.

Illustrus Decimus Iunius Silanus You were the one who pointed out the
problem with the oaths to me. I agree with You that Legati are not
apparitores, indeed they are instead the "extended arm" of the
Governor, who has Imperium, which power he could be said to delegate
a bit of to the Legati. I see the Legati as some kind of Subgovernors.
The apparitores are listed in "LEX VEDIA APPARITORIA"
http://www.novaroma.org/tabularium/leges/1999-07-30-v.html , they are
Lictores, Lictores Curiati, Scribae and Accensi. So there is no doubt
that these must take the oath described in my edict:
http://www.novaroma.org/tabularium/edicts/consul-2003-01-01-iii.html
I define "other more informal "officials" (who) could be required to
swear this oath" as officials at the same "level" or lower than the
apparitores. I don't count the Legati into this category.

I cannot resist answering to so many ideas ranging from grandiose land
purchase ideas to scholarships and charities etc.. How are we going to do
all that if we don't even have enough money to publish a simple
newsletter,
and that doesn't require much, just plain xerox and mailing cost (for 55
subscribers).
Furthermore, the Album Gentium supposedly contains 1600 citizens?
don't
count on it. Think 200/300 at the most, and of these not everyone has the
means and time to go around spreading largesse.
Proof of citizenship has the color green, and a one time adrenaline
burst doesn't count either. Let's get the cart (and that's committed
citizenry) before getting the horse, and remember that a horse has to be
fed
and that cost money too.
I believe it when I see it.

Congratulations. I've been to Rome twice and Pompeii twice as well.
Rule #1, traffic is a nightmare. The only right of way pedestrians
have is the right to get out of the way even if on the sidewalk!
This is even more true in the city of Napoli. When you go to
Pompeii, you'll see what I mean. <G>
Rule #2, keep your camera in hand/pocket at all times.
Rule #3, Keep passport/visas/money/wallet, ect in your front pockets
at all times. Backpacks are not safe from those that want your stuff
more than you do.
Rule #4, Train passes are the best value. Unlike the US, you can get
pretty much anywhere in western Europe by train.
Rule 4a, Italian trains NEVER run on schedule.
Rule #5, The Poliza (police) and Caribinari (national paramilitary
security force) are better armed than the Crips and the Bloods going
into a turf battle. If stopped by one of them make no moves that
could be interpeted as hostile. Most likely they won't ever bother
you except for your own safety.
Rule #6, Stick with bottled spring water. While the tap water is
generally safe its not the most pleasant of tasting.
Rule #7, Money exchange. Stick to official places of money exchange
such as banks. There is usually a small fee for the transaction.
Banks tend to be the lower fee rates and have the latest exhange
rates. Hotels tend to charge higher and the rates aren't always the
most current.
Rule #8 To my knowledge no pagan has instantly incinerated upon
entering St. Peter's Square. <G> Make a day of the Vatican and take
a tour of the various sites of catacombs (unless you are
claustrophobic, then I'd skip the catacombs).
This time of year Rome and Italy in general tends to be a little
rainy and on the cool side. Think late September-October in New
England.
A few magic words and phrases in Italian:
piacere - please
grazie - thank you
buongiorno - good morning
buonasera - good evening
si - yes
non - no
Toilets in smaller restaurants and bars tend to be unisex. A good
idea to knock first, just in case a lady (or in Patricia's case) a
gentlemen is already inside taking care of his/her business.
Speaking of bars and restaurants, it has been since 1988 since I was
there, but I don't remember that Italians having invented the "non-
smoking section."
Safety is pretty much a matter of common sense. If you don't feel
comfortable with a situation, listen to that little voice in your
head.
Vale,

Note: most of the modern viruses cannot be tracked this way; they grab
two random addresses from an addressbook, and send the mail to one while
using the other for the "From" line. The only way to actually figure out
where the mail came from is by reading the email headers - which can be
difficult unless you know what you're looking at and have specific tools
("whois", for one) on hand.

Salvete Cives,
There has been much discussion in recent days about the amount of
bandwidth being expended on non-Roman topics, to the point of
citizens scolding other citizens for discussing macronational
affairs. Several citizens have pointed out, however, that as a real
community we must have the freedom to discuss a wide range of topics,
not just those that pertain to Rome. This helps us get to know each
other better if it is done RESPECTFULLY and with the intention of an
honest exchange of ideas. Please keep that in mind before you post.
That being said, while any topic is acceptable to discuss in this
forum, the main focus of this list remains Rome, Antiqua and Nova.
Forays into other areas can be enlightening and fun, but we should
return to Rome after a time.
As a seemingly inevitable war approaches, I realize it will be more
and more difficult to remain focused on Rome; feelings will be
strong, even bitter. It may be a trying time for Nova Roma. Just
remember our common bond as Nova Romans is what unites us. Think
before every post; if your potential post may exacerbate feelings
among your fellow citizens, think twice before sending it. Never
reply in anger. If you are angry, wait until the next day and you
have some perspective, before you reply.
A final point: while we can discuss a wide range of topics in this
forum, the use of vulgarity remains UNACCEPTABLE on this list.

I would like to add a few words to Senator Audens's comments.
This list is for you to use, citizens. *You* are the ones who decide
its contents. That is what free speech is for. If you want to express
your thoughts and impressions, it is your right to do so.
Bear in mind, though, that this list is received by many, many other
citizens all around the world. Write whatever you want; but keep them
in mind when you write. Think about what kind of messages you would
like to see here. Think about the things *you* find interesting and
share them with us all. Behave in exactly the same way in which you
would like *others* to behave. That is the best use one can make of
his own Freedom of Speech.

Salve Senior Consul,
Salvete citizens,
For the record, I don't really care too much about which oath is said by
whom :-p It is just that I am trying to learn as much as possible and when
something isn't clear to me, I ask.
<The apparitores are listed in "LEX VEDIA APPARITORIA"
<http://www.novaroma.org/tabularium/leges/1999-07-30-v.html , they are
<Lictores, Lictores Curiati, Scribae and Accensi.
<I see the Legati as some kind of Subgovernors.
I did notice that the legati were not listed above when I wrote my previous
email. The Consules, Senators, Praetores, Tribunes and provincial Governors
cannot simply be removed/dismissed from one moment to the next. I believe a
formal hearing needs to take place first (if I am wrong, someone feel free
to correct me). A legate can be very simply unilaterally dismissed by his
governor, the same as the appointees mentioned in the above lex can be
unilaterally dismissed by the appointing magistrate. This really puts a
legate in the category of 'assistant', even if legate is not listed in the
above-mentioned lex.
In my opinion, I think that is how we should decide who takes what oath: If
a person can be unilaterally removed by his superior, then he should take
the Oath of Apparitores. The elected officials (which includes the
Governors, who are 'elected' by the Senate) should take 'magistrates' oath.

Diana Moravia Aventina

Oh, I doubt that it's a modern trend. I suspect that guilt is a control
mechanism that's been used ever since Og and Thog developed enough
linguistic ability and complexity to do so; it's cheap to use, and the
"benefits" to the guilt-thrower can be very large. The modern trend, if
any, consists of a large group of people deciding to buy into that
guilt. Perhaps that's not all that modern either, but it's not a
behavior typical of people who have to fight for survival every day of
their lives.

A number of countries still have actual slavery, the real article,
without any legislation. Are you saying that this is somehow better?
It's possible to change a written law - witness the example of America
in this; an unwritten one is all but impossible.
As well, are you saying that if another country's racist legislation was
repealed five or ten years before the US, this puts them on some
unassailable moral high ground? I suggest you rethink that one.

Really? You must be entirely ignorant of actual life in America, then. I
have many friends who are, generally speaking, out on the fringes of
society - some of them quite radical. No one has tried to "re-educate"
them "no matter what the suffering"; I know what the term implies and
means from growing up in Russia. I suggest that you learn the truth
before making this kind of statements.
> It is that refusal to be as others,
Excuse me? Why should anyone change "to be as others"? Are you saying
that everyone is supposed to be alike, stamped from some social mold?
Talk about re-education...

Salvete,
Perhaps others joined for this reason as well, but I am a part of this list
in the interest of a living Rome. While history is interesting and relevant,
its not the only thing I ever want to discuss. I like this list just the way
it is.

[Nova-Roma] Slavery, Europe, USA and "Columbia" (on topic) |

Salvete Quirites!
I have seen a discussion about slavery and if Europe is better than
America under the subject of "Columbia".
I love my country (Sweden) and I think that Europe is mostly a nice
continent. I have never been to USA, but hope to visit somewhere in
the not so far future and I am sure that I will meet mostly nice
people. Nice people doesn't mean people who share the details in my
political conviction, but _nice_ people to me are those who enjoy to
meet and share points of views in a lot of issues without getting
antagonistic.
Sadly enough we can't find any place on the Earth where there is only
happyness. But it really worries me that we have an increasing amount
of Sex-slavery in Europe, mostly steeming from Eastern Europe. This
is very much discussed in Sweden where many wanted to believe that
these problem where only present in other countries, for example
Thailand (where Swedish and other European men go to abuse women and
children sexually). There is a movie director in Sweden, who name is
Moodyson and he has made a film "Lilja, forever" that is about a
Russian girl who is abducted from her "home" in Russia and taken to
Sweden to live in Sex-slavery until she kills herself (it is based on
a true story). I think that many Swedes after seeing this film (it
won the Swedish equivalent of the Oscar) have realised that there are
such terrible problems even in their own beloved country. This is the
truth about this world that we live in, it isn't perfect. Even Nova
Roma isn't perfect, but we may contribute some good ideas and changes
to the world if we work together.
I don't like the fight of Americans against Europeans or vice versa,
that we can see now and then on this list. We are in this together
and need each other. Instead of looking for faults in other
continents and countries I think that the differences should be used
to the advantage of, at least, the whole of Nova Roma. ;-)

What a tragical suggestions!
How many far you're went in Italy? Several things are changed and you
describe Rome like a "impossible" city. Maybe youy have to see cities like
Athen or the spanish. :-)
Of course we live in a different way from the american or the north-european
style. We're more chaotic and we have personal easy and wonderfulidea of the
daily life ;-)
Please, take my little corrections.
> Rule #1, traffic is a nightmare. The only right of way pedestrians

The advice is not have a car in special hours of the day like the early
morning and the late afternoon. They're hours for "workers". The underground
is little but it runs, maybe the pullmans are better. When you take a taxi,
ask the price and try to have one more economic.
> This is even more true in the city of Napoli. When you go to

Yes, Napoli is more chaotic and teh idea is right. BTW you need only a bit
of attenction and after a couple of day you'll understand how you have to do
;-)

Keep you camera in teh pocket only in the underground or pullmans or trams
or in place with too people. This rule is right for each big city in the
world!!!

You don't need to have the passport in everytime., leave it in hotel. If you
have visa card, take few money (100 euro).

Yes, from Rome you can go to everyplace in Europe.

I don't agree! Some times the trains have a delay, but not even.
Keep attenction, if you take the Eurostar (the speeder train) you have to do
the reservation. If you travel during the night sleeping, keep attenction to
your bags.

It's not true. Polizia and CARABINIERI are not violent. I have seen the
american, french and german polices and I can say the italian security
forces are boy-scouts!
Yes, they are armed but don't worry, they don't use teh weapons against the
good citizens or tourist moving (who are they? german S.S.?) You'll see
italian polices are most comprensible and easy that the american and
others!!!
If you have a problem, search a car of Carabinieri (I thing they are better
than Police [in italian Polizia]), they'll try to help in any way.

I agree.
If you go in Napoli, search the "Napoli sottoranea". It's the "underground
Naples", a very big structure of caves build by Romans under the city.

January and February are not the best months to visit Rome and Naples. Now
we have 2-3 ° C and a rain weather. However in the early March you can feel
the arrival of the Spring (the best period to visit the Italy) and you can
have wonderful day of sun.

Yes, there are, now we have hard laws against the smoke.
No smoking = Vietato fumare
So, Rome and Naples aren't so tragical, they are most funny and wonderful.
I'm sure you'll have a exciting trip and you'll would like to come back.
If you need help, please contact me or another italian nova roman.

Salve,
Thank you Octaviane. What is almost funny about this is that I got the same email from the same address (therefore, technically,
making it from myself to myself) at one of my other addresses.
For the record, to all who may be reading this, I won't be sending any personal e-mails from now until I'm sure this virus has been
assassinated in some way, so until I say otherwise, it would be pretty safe to delete anything with a sender of "postumius @
novaroma.org", "postumius @ gmx.net", or "socraticquestion @ netscape.net"
For those of you who have recieved one of these viruses from an address of mine, I apologize. If anyone has any ideas about getting
rid of this virus, please share them with us!

January and February are not the best months to visit Rome and Naples. Now
we have 2-3 ° C and a rain weather. However in the early March you can feel
the arrival of the Spring (the best period to visit the Italy) and you can
have wonderful day of sun.

Yes, there are, now we have hard laws against the smoke.
No smoking = Vietato fumare
So, Rome and Naples aren't so tragical, they are most funny and wonderful.
I'm sure you'll have a exciting trip and you'll would like to come back.
If you need help, please contact me or another italian nova roman.

[Nova-Roma] Governors' List? |

I just checked the 72 different Nova Roma related Yahoo mailing
lists, and none of them seem to be what I was looking for. So
my next step is to ask here in the forum, though the question is
really only for my fellow provincial governors.
How many provincial governors would be interested in having a
separate list where we can discuss the business of provincial
government? Share the wealth of our collective experience?
Warn one another about potential pitfalls?
If you're a provincial governor, and you'd be interested in this,
please let me know. I think it'd be a good idea to share our
collective knowledge.

Salve Amice!
There are actually _two_ lists! ;-)
One for Governors, the Colloquim Provincia list at
<ColloquimProvincia@yahoogroups.com>
Then there is the Limes Project at
http://www.diocletian.de/lc/index.htm the list is
<NovaRomaProv@yahoogroups.com> here all provincial officials are
members.

I tried going to that list, and it's quite forbidding. There's
no option for non-members to join. Could you get whoever the
group owner is to send me (and Julilla) an invitation?

I just joined that one. Thank you.
I think we need to have a standard "package" of information that
each new governor gets from the Senate upon appointment, including
useful little tidbits like this knowledge. Those who come after
me may not have the benefit of an eagle-eyed Quintilianus to help
them.

The list you were looking for is the
ColloquimProvincia.
It is a closed list and it's owner is Lucius Mauricius
Procopious. Since it has been rather hard to contact
him, and no new members can be added without him a new
list may be needed.
Since the Propraetors and Proconsuls serve at the
pleasure of the Senate it would probelly be best to
have some of the Senators as the co-owners of the new
governors list so that this problem dosen't happen
again.

Salve,
You will have a wonderful time in Rome. I was there last September and
enjoyed every minute.
Yes, you do have to be careful, especially on public transport, but we
didn't experience any mishaps. Rome is no worse for crime than any other
large city.
Your biggest problem will be that there will just not be enough time to
do everything you would like!

Salvete,
I am very pleased, (and a little surprised) to announce that Patricia
Cassia and myself will be travelling to Rome on vacation at the end of
this month! We'll be leaving the US on Feb 28, and will be returning on
March 9. :)
We're staying in a hotel right near the Forum, and are planning day
trips to Ostia, Pompeii, etc. This will be our first trip to Rome and I
can't wait to visit the ancient sites, make some surreptitius offerings
at some of the Temples, etc.
If anyone has any trips about travel to Rome, we'd be happy to hear
them. Also, if any of our Italian Citizens would like to meet somewhere,
we're up for it! I can bring NR coins and flags with us if anyone wants
any.
Valete,
Marcus Cassius Julianus

Thank you Drusus. I appreciate the quick response

There is the second list mentioned by CFQ in his earlier
message. I've applied to join it, and I'd hope we can
carry on our business there for the timebeing.

I agree. Distributed ownership would seem to be called for.
