[Nova-Roma] File - List Guidelines, Main List |
| From: |
Nova-Roma@yahoogroups.com |
| Date: |
1 Mar 2003 11:59:33 -0000 |
|
Ex Officio Praetorium
EDICTVM PRAETORICIVM DE MODERATIONE
The praetores of Nova Roma hereby define the guidelines for
appropriate usage of Nova Roma's public communication forum, currently
located at:
Nova_Roma@yahoogroups.com
These guidelines are based on the guidelines previously issued by
our predecessors (Pompeia Cornelia and Patricia Cassia). As praetores
of Nova Roma, though, we keep the right to change these guidelines in
the future.
I. The Nova Roma forum (herein referred to as 'the list') is set up
so that replies will automatically be sent to the entire list. Please
keep this in mind when you are replying. You are not issuing a
private email. If your reply is intended for only one member, and has
no benefit to the rest of the list subscribers, consider sending it
privately.
II. Posts that merely voice agreement with a previous post without
expanding on an issue in any way are discouraged.
III. Please trim your posts. When replying to a thread, snip
unnecessary sections of the original post for brevity, and indicate
where you have done so by printing <snipped> at the appropriate space.
Correct usage of snipping prevents large posts that can quickly fill
subscribers mailboxes
IV. If you feel you must dispute or criticize another person's post,
consider doing so in private.
Sometimes a person makes a genuine mistake, and your gentle correction
via private email means much more to them than potentially
embarrassing them in the forum over what is an innocent error. We know
that during political debates, private exchanges are impractical.
Please use discretion in this area.
V. It is entirely appropriate to disagree publicly with another's
stated views or another's actions as they report such, or with the
actions of Nova Roma's Magistrates, Senate or otherwise appointed
officials.
Nova Roma is an organization of individuals from a wide variety of
nations, religions, cultural backgrounds and political viewpoints, and
it is only reasonable that our views should differ.
Please consider the following when expressing disagreement of opposing
viewpoints:
* Express respect for the person and the entitlement to his opinion,
and faith in his or her good intentions.
* Point out any themes in which you do not agree.
* If in the criticism of a person's actions, perhaps in the capacity
of a magistrate or senator, point out specifically which actions you
are referring to. Quote the message number of the post in
which you base your account and opinions. This makes things more
objective and often helpful to the person in question, as to what,
specifically, you are referring to, and your issues with same.
* In an academic debate, endeavor to offer references to back up your
assertions.
* At all times maintain politeness in the expression of your opinion
and endeavour to respect the rights and opinions of others.
Inappropriate behaviour includes:
the use of profane language; misrepresentation of the truth for the
purpose of making another person look foolish; calling others names;
criticizing a poster's personal character as opposed to criticizing his
ideas; making derrogatory, belittling, subjective statements about the
Gods and Goddesses of Rome (quoting from a myth does not apply) or
belittling deities of other religions for entertainment. Further, in
the interests of those under 18, sexual references must be strictly
within the context of an historical discussion. Otherwise, they are to
be made in private.
The arbitrary advertisment of goods and services (SPAM) is not
permitted on the Nova Roma mainlist, unless the advertiser is a member
of Nova Roma's marketplace, the Macellum. Macellum merchants are
welcome to advertise from time to time in a low-key fashion. This
entails a signature line/file, a one-time announcement of initial
affiliation with the Macellum, advertising in response to a post of
inquiry made in the forum, or an ad once every three months or so
advertising your presence in the Macellum.
VI. If you feel that a post is inappropriate in any way, consider
mailing the individual concerned privately, explaining your rationale
for grievance and asking for clarification"
If you would like to talk to us confidentially about a particular
post, please contact us at praetors@novaroma.org .
VII: During the time leading up to elections (held each November and
occasionally at other times if offices become vacant) this list is one
of the forums where candidates express their views and present their
qualifications to the populace. All of the strictures governing
appropriate behaviour mentioned hereto, shall remain in place and
apply to all candidates and their supporters.
VIII: Please do not give out personal information (i.e., address or
phone number) to the list. While it would be pleasant to believe we
are all good-hearted and sane, we are not; you cannot trust in that.
IX: Due to the influxes of SPAM and past incidents of posts from
those who wish nothing but to cause disruption and insult to the list,
or particular subscribers of the list, to wit, TROLLS, it has become
necessary to place all new list members on Moderated Status, just
until we are satisfied that such persons are indeed here to celebrate
aspects of Roma Antiquita and Nova Roma, as opposed to being here for
unjustifiable reasons. This is unfortunate, but it has proved
necessary.
X: Language Policies
The forum of Roma Antiquita was a large venue, with people of
different languages conversing, a few in this corner, a few in that
corner.
Rome was a very mulicultured place in her glory. Mind you official
information was in Latin, and in some cases Greek, but people were
free to speak informally as they wished in the language of their
choice.
Our constitution mandates freedom of communication provided it is not
dangerous or disruptive.
Currently, the praetores can understand Latin, Spanish, French,
Italian and Portuguese, so messages in those languages are most
welcome. For other languages, help can be obtained from the decuria of
interpreters of Nova Roma.
Thanks to the decuria of interpreters and to several magistrates or
legates who are willing to assist with list moderation, 'informal'
communication in the forum is open to most main languages. Feel free
to post in English, Latin, Italian, Portugese, Spanish, Fench, German,
Russian, Norwegian, Finnish, Swedish or any Slavik language. The
Praetors have many to thank for efforts in this regard.
***Exception: This does not contravene the Lex Cornelia de Linguis
Publicus
http://www.novaroma.org/tabularium/lege/index/html
which stipulates, though comitial mandate, that any offical government
legislation or priestly decrees must be issued in English or Latin
where applicable, so they can be translated verbatim into other
languages to be more easily understood by the entirety of the
populace.
XI. Topics of Discussion
The main focus of this list is Nova Roma and Roma Antiqua. However,
as members of a diverse international community we all have lives and
interests outside of Nova Roma. It is perfectly acceptable to discuss
non-Roman topics here, though keep in mind that not everyone may
share your interest in these topics.
XII: The Praetors have the imperium to govern the list, but prefer to
encourage positive interaction as opposed to punishing negative
behaviour. In the case of a poster whose actions violate these
guidelines aforementioned, the following escalated courses of
action shall be taken:
1.- A private memo from the Praetors' office or a Scribal designate,
stating the incident of infarction, and a reminder to review the
guidelines. Often people who are new to the list are not intentionally
trying to upset anybody.
2.- Another private memo as above.
3.- Moderated status (the poster may post but all posts
they issue are first reviewed by the Praetors or their designate).
The length of moderation shall be determined by the number of offences
in the past, the severity of the violation, and the intent to violate.
No citizen shall be kept in moderate status for more than 2 (two)
months
without a firm sentence issued by a legal court as described by the
Lex Salicia Iudiciaria:
http://www.novaroma.org/tabularium/leges/2002-11-24-iii.html
(For example: Nobody is going to be placed on moderated status for an
extended time for failure to trim posts or for saying 'me too')

PRAYERS TO VESTA MATER, MARS AND THE CAPITOLINE TRIAD
(On the anniversary of the founding of Nova Roma, March 1st., old New Year's
Day) [with thanks to N. Moravius Vado]
Charcoal is lit and placed in the turibulum. Cakes, wine, water and lights
are placed ready to hand. Lighting the lights, the celebrant says:
Lucem reddite vostris, dii, fidelibus. Flammam accensam est gratiam
referrens in beneficii lucis gratia. Itaque lux, quod Roma significat, dis
populusque suis, nunquam exstincta fiat.
(Give light again, O gods, to thy faithful ones. This flame is lit in
thanksgiving for all the blessings of light. So may the light that is
signified by Rome, her gods and her people, never fail).
Vivat flamma viget, seu lucerna sucum linteolo suggerit ebrio, seu pinus
piceam fert alimoniam, seu ceram stuppa calens bibit. Lumen quod vobis
offero, suscipite, precor.
(May the lively flame thrive, whether a lamp feeds the thirsty linen wick,
or whether pine lends its resin as fuel, or thirsty tow drinks the hot wax.
Accept, I pray, the light which I offer you.)
Bowing to the hearth, the celebrant says:
Ave Vesta Mater dea splendida foci, custos flammae Romae sempiternae: sive
quo alio nomine se apellari volveris, te invoco. In verbis eoris quis te
colunt, super sacra flamma tua thus iacio in adoratio gratiasque..
(Hail, Mother Vesta, shining goddess of the hearth, keeper of Rome's eternal
flame: by whatever name you would be known I call upon you. In the name of
all those who worship you, I cast incense over your sacred flame, in worship
and gratitude). (Incense is cast in the turibulum).
Crustum similiter inferio et vinum libo. Accipite sacrificium meum, Vesta
Mater, quod humiliter inferio.
Ardeat ignis tuis in cordi Romae Sempiternae, quodque provenissent populares
sub oculis tuis vigilans. .
(In like manner I offer you cake and pour out a libation of wine to you.
MotherVesta, accept the sacrifice I offer in humility. (Pour out wine mixed
with water onto cake). May your fire burn brightly at the heart of Eternal
Rome, and may the people prosper under your watchful eye).
Teque invoco, Mars Pater, amator Sylviae Vestalis, pater Quirini, arbiter
armorum, de cuius sanguine natus est Romulus ergo insuper Roma, a te
principium Romano dicimus anno: primus de Marti Patrio nomine mensis.
(And you, Father Mars I invoke, lover of Sylvia the Vestal, father of
Quirinus, judge of war, from whose blood Romulus was born and therefore also
Rome, we name the first beginning of the Roman year from you: the first
month is called by the name of Mars Pater).
Mars Pater, te precor quaesoque uti sies volens nobis propitius, Novis
Quiritibus, domo familiaeque nostrae; quoius rei ergo te hoc sacrificio, uti
tu morbos visos invisosque, vidvertatem vastitudinemque, calamitatesque
prohibessis, defendas averruncesque, duisque bonam salutem valetudinemque
nobis, Novis Quiritibus, domo familiaeque nostrae. Harumce rerum ergo, macte
hoc sacrificio.
(Father Mars, I ask and pray that you will be favourable to us the citizens
of Nova Roma, to our homes and families; because of this, therefore, I
sacrifice to you, so that you may avert, repel and turn away all ills
visible and invisible, barrenness, blight, all calamity, and that you
procure health and well-being for us, the citizens of Nova Roma. For these
things, be honoured by this sacrifice.)
(Burn incense and pour wine mixed with water over cake).
Iuppiter Optime Maxime, ita Iuno Regina Coeli, patrona Rei Publicae, ita
Minerva sancta, tutela ab omnis inimicis, invoco vos. Propitii despicete,
Capitolini dii magni, accipiteque hunc oblationem parvum in verbis eoris
factus est, qui pacem deorum agere volunt.
(Iuppiter Best and Greatest, Iuno Queen of Heaven, protectress of the state,
holy Minerva, defender against all enemies, I call upon you. Look down in
favour, great gods of the Capitol, and accept this small sacrifice which we
make in the name of all those who would be partakers in the peace of the
gods).
Minerva Sollertissima, te coram thus cremo, crustum offero et vinum libo,
in adoratio gratiasque. Te placeat hunc sacrificium, ut per novus anno
appropinquo ab omnia iniuria protegas.
(Minerva most skilful, I burn incense, offer cake and pour out wine before
you, in worship and gratitude. May this offering be pleasing to you, and may
you safeguard us all from harm throughout the coming year. (Burn incense and
pour wine mixed with water over cake).
Iuno Regina, te coram thus cremo, crustum offero et vinum libo, in adoratio
gratiasque. Te placeat hunc sacrificium, ut super domi familiaeque nostrae
invigiles, quod fortunatem felicitatemque firmitatemque per novus anno
appropinquo habeamus .
.
(Queen Iuno, I burn incense, offer cake and pour out wine before you, in
worship and gratitude. May this offering be pleasing to you, and may you
watch over our homes and our families, that we may enjoy health, happiness
and prosperity throughout the coming year). (Burn incense and pour wine
mixed with water over cake).
Iuppiter Optime Maxime, rex deorum immortalem, te coram thus cremo, crustum
offero et vinum libo, in adoratio maxima cum reverentia gratiasque. Te
placeat hunc sacrificium, et nos semper faveas. Adiuva nos, dive maxime,
quod per novus anno appropinquo nominem Romanem digneamus in operibus
nostris.
(Iuppiter Best and Greatest, king of the immortal gods, I burn incense,
offer cake and pour out wine before you, in worship with the greatest
respect and gratitude. May this offering be pleasing to you, and may you
always be favourable to us. Help us, greatest god, that all we do throughout
the coming year be worthy of the name 'Roman'). (Burn incense and pour wine
mixed with water over cake).
Ita vultis, ita siet!

[Nova-Roma] March 2 Pompeii lecture at Worcester Art Museum |

Salvete cives
For those of you thinking of attending the Pompeii lecture In Worcester
tomorrow, the weather forecast is not very promising. Starting tonight
(March1), a storm will bring anywhere from 2-8 inches of snow/rain to the
area. The timing of this event is such that if one were to travel to the
museum to arrive at 1:30 pm then one would be out during the height of the
storm. Unfortunately, this latest storm will prevent me from attending the
lecture. I will continue to post news of additional events of interest in
Regio Massachusetts as they come up.

Is it customary to have games as part of a Nova Roma
anniversary celebration? I don't recall there being any
at this time last year, on the 4th anniversary of the founding
of our republic.
My Aedilean colleagues and I have planned our games around the
religious calendar as put forth on the NovaRoma.org website,
and the list of Ludi passed on to us by our predecessors in
the aedilean offices. Those games are coming soon, but not
yet. (In fact, we had intended to hold Ludi Sementivae in
January, but the College of Pontiffs never replied to our
requests concerning the dates of Semintivae this year. So
the first Ludi will come in April, with the Ludi Megalisia.)
However, had the Senate wished games in celebration of this
occassion, I'm sure something could have been arranged. If
you'd let us know in a timely fashion, Senator, I think that
all of my aedilean colleagues and I would have been willing
to work with you on this. Bringing the question up now,
when there is no time for planning, seems to serve no good
purpose.

No, however Livius tells in early Rome there was a yearly celebration.
Likely a Ludi.

Perhaps we should have the Senate to set aside KaL MAR as a special day for a
Ludi
While we are children of Rome, we are also Rome Reborn, and deserve a special
day of our own.
As you can see the Pontiffs have already made their offerings to the Gods on
this most
sacred of days.

Except that now we are aware, perhaps something can be done.
I will discuss this with my August members at a later date.
Thank you for your remarks, Aedile.
