G. Iulius Scaurus S.P.D.

Avete, Quirites.

Here's a link to "Lepcis Magna: The Roman Empire in Africa":

http://www.alnpete.co.uk/lepcis/

In 1997 the Society for Libyan Studies and a consortium of British
universities began
excavation of this Roman city in Tripolitania. The site includes a
virtual museum of artifacts
recovered by the digs and a library of dig reports and publications
regarding Lepcis Magna.

Valete, Quirites.

For anyone who may be interested;

Wih this "early" weekend starts my reenactment "campaign" year -- 2003.
I will be gone for the majority of the weekends and a number of weekdays
during the Spring, Summer and Fall until the middle of Nov.

I will try to keep up with what is going on here, but I undoubtably will
be somewhat "behind the wave" in doing so.

As I indicated previously, I have been greatly honored by being
appointed a "Brevet- Lieutenant - Colonel" in the reenactment New
England Federal Brigade, and on the military staff of General U.S.
Grant, 2nd New Jersey Federal Brigade -- (American Civil War -- about
1200+ members all inclusive), and while it was a great honor to be so
appointed, it brings with it some additional responsibilities.

Respectfully;

Marcus Minucius Audens

Honored Senate Fathers;

In association with my earlier "Away" message, I should like to assign
my vote in the Senate for coming Senate calls, which I may miss due to
these activities, to Senior Consul Quinntillianus by proxy, so as not to
miss any more Senate votes by my frequent "Away" condition.

I do this in preference to withdrawing from NR for a given period, as I
do not wish to do that at this time. However if a majority of the
Senate membership objects to this request, then you may consider my
determination to withdraw from NR actively for the season, to end in
November. I do NOT surrender either my citizenship or my Senate
position by so doing.

Respectfully;

Marcus Minucius Audens

Gaius Popillius Laenas Quiritibus salutem plurimam dicit,

We are approaching what WILL be the last run-off election for the
final position of Tribune of the Plebs and I come before you a final
time asking for your support.

The vital responsibility of the Tribune is to protect the interests
of the people by insuring that the Constitution and Laws up Nova
Roma are upheld and administered fairly. You have seen this
responsibility carried out this year by our already elected
Tribunes. It sees to me, valued attributes for a Tribune would be
fairness and an ability to work well with a variety of people. I
believe I have this attributes.

I served as Consular Quaestor for the "conservative" Consul Lucius
Cornelius Sulla Felix, and I currently serve as Accensus for
the "moderate" Consul Titus Labienus Fortunatus.

I have also enjoyed the endorsement / support of a fairly wide
ranger of cives as noted below (some even Partrician :-0 )

L. Equitius Senator, Consular, past Censor
Patricia Cassia, Senator
Pompeia Cornelia Strabo
L. Suetonius Nerva
Manius Constantinus Serapio, Quaestor
Sextus Apollonius Scipio, Quaestor

(If I have forgotten anyone, or neglected to include a title, please
forgive me).

So I ask once again and the final time for your vote.

Remember to vote, but more importantly remember to vote Laenas!!! ;-
O

Valete,
Gaius Popillius Laenas
Propraetor America Austrorientalis

Salvete Omnes,

I close officially the subscriptions for the Floreales Ludi
Circenses.
The deadline was 1st May and we have now 16 players.

As you can see below, this Ludi seems to be dominated by the
Praesinae aurigae. A very low number of Reds chariots and blues will
try to stop the incredible Albata.
In the list I read several VIPs like Consul Labienus, Aedile Arminius
Faustus, Quaestor Serapio, etc. They will able to use their game
skills like their political skills?
Two sweet and beautiful women will run tomorrow, Julilla Sempronia
Magna and Roscia Annaea Pia. Please, don't hurt them, be gentlemen ;-)

Unofficial news: I heart that two players will try to sabotage the
other chariots. So, open your eyes and keep attenction to the un-know
people in the Circus.

Let's see who will be protected by Flora ... maybe our Illustri
religious men could help us to understand ... or maybe we have only
to wait for tomorrow ;-)

The followinf list is the start grid.
Enjoy Floreales Ludi!!!

I must add that according to the Constitution there are only two
Questores that serve the central Treasury as assistants of the
Consuls and those are Illustrus Sextus Apollonius Scipio and
Illustrus Gnaeus Octavius Noricus. You work shall be done at the
Staff of the Senior Plebeian Aedile.

From:	Bill Gawne <gawne@cesmail.net>
Date:	Thu, 01 May 2003 16:04:57 -0400

This is the second installment of the Ludi Florales Trivia
Contest. To participate in the contest, you must send the answers to
the following five trivia questions to: gawne @ cesmail . net
(I've added spaces between the items in that address so that Yahoo's
address munging scheme won't hide it from you, in case you read the
Nova-Roma list via the Yahoo website.) Please include
"Ludi Florales Trivia Contest" in the subject line.

Anyone who posts answers to the Nova-Roma list will be disqualified
immediately. Furthermore, if anyone does post the answers then all
replies for that day's questions will have to be disqualified. I hope
that makes it sufficiently clear that the answers are not to be
posted by anyone but me, the contest conductor.

The contest began yesterday, and will last through Sunday May 4th.
There will be daily winners, and an overall cumulative winner.

And now! The questions for today:

1. Due to what event did the Roman empire become christian?

2. Most of the Roman Emperors who expanded the Empire had something
(nongenetic) in common concerning their fathers, what was that?

3. In 1806 CE, aka 2559 auc the Roman title emperor was lost, this
because another Emperor in Europe wanted so. Who was this other
Emperor?

4. In what year did the Patricians pass a law, Lex Canuleia, which
for the first time allowed Patricians and Plebeians to marry one
another?

5. In what year was the office of Praetor created?

-- Gnaeus Equitius Marinus
Curule Aedile

After the first day of the Ludi Florales Trivia Contest, we have a four
way tie for first place! These four citizens each have a perfect score:

Lucius Equitius Cincinnatus
Gaius Iulius Scaurus
Gnaeus Salix Astur
Quintus Cassius Calvus

Congratulations to all four winners! May Flora look kindly on you.


And now, the answers!

1. What was the distinctive footwear of Roman Senators in the late Republic?

"Calceus ruber" red boots with crescent shaped ivory fasteners


2. What city did Rome fight against in the Punic wars?

Carthage


3. Which city was furthest from Rome: Alexandria on the Nile, Gades, or
Palmyra?

Palmyra


4. In what year were the first Curule Aediles elected?

Either 366 or 367 BCE, sources disagree on the exact year, so either
of those two answers is acceptable. (Your Curule Aedile was thinking
of 366 BCE when he wrote the question.)


5. What was the distinctive mark of a member of the Ordo Equester?

Narrow purple stripe on his tunic

Salve

I have a question on Nova Roman Constitutional Law. Does the Veto held by the magistrates pertain only to official acts of other magistrates or can they veto the actions of an individual citizens.

I think I know the answer but better safe than sorry.
