ADVENAE - (Newcomers)
Bruno Bado "Brunus Velius Badus" has joined our NovaRoma
Gens Velius. He is a Farmacologist and a true Roman from the
"Mother Country", in Milan Italy. His interests cover most all the
aspects of ancient Rome - religio, politics, culture, latin, reenactment
and history.
We extend to Brunus a welcome into Legion XXIV and NovaRoma.
John Hill from Woodbridge NJ has expressed interest in joining
with us. Being from Central New Jersey, and having previous
reenactment experience, he would be a valuable and welcome addition.

ROMAN DAYS ARE COMING ! - ALL ROMAN ! - ALL DAY !
The following is taken from the Legion XX Website and tells all.
Roman Days, is sponsored by our allied Legion XX, and is a display of
ancient military and domestic living history. It is the Twentieth Legion's
own attempt to get as many Romans together in one place as possible.
We will be joining Legion XX and several other groups to mass a total
of fifteen or more soldiers and at least a dozen civilians.
There are merchant booths and an ongoing cooking display.
Activities include tactical drill demonstrations, educational displays
(writing, architecture, etc.), and a fashion show.
Children's activities included making mosaics, writing in Greek, "Bean
the Barbarian", and learning how to march like a soldier. Celts, Greeks,
and other ancient types are also welcome. Civilians, teachers, wargamers.
If you have any interest in ancient history, please come! Be a participant
or just come and talk to everyone about our mutual passion.
Maximus and the Ludus will be on putting several gladiatorial lectures and exhibition fights during the day.
Remember that you do NOT need to be a reenactor or have period clothing to participate! Come and have fun!
The event is open to the public 10 AM to 4 PM, and admission is $5 per person. and free to reenactors in period attire. It is held at Marietta Mansion in Glenn Dale, MD (directions below).

This has always been a fun time, SCA fighting and trials, an evening campfire gathering, story telling, singing and good fellowship. The "Quest" on Sunday is a contest of groups trying to solve a puzzle by finding and gathering clues, much like an Easter Egg Hunt. The Barony has always made the Legion welcome.
As this a non-public event, there is fee of $9 dollars per adult per day.
$5 dollars per day per child. Children under 3 attend free.
A Society wide non-member surcharge is now in effect for adults. This charge is tacked on to your total site fee. Feast Fee is $6. Include Feast reservations with site reservations, sent to the address below.

PM JUNIOR ANTHROPOLOGISTS CAMP
"First Call" for the Penn Museum's Classical Week Summer Camp. Meera Patanker is coordinating the UPM's "Anthropologists in the Making" Summer Camp Program for 8 to 13 year old campers during the "Ancient Empires of Greece and Rome" session, which is from 7/14 - 7/18. She says that this session is generally the first one to fill-up.
We have been requested to set-up a legionary and gladiatorial
encampment for one of the days. Jeff Crean and Owen Hutchins attended
last year and were a real highlight... the kids were wide-eyed for days after
meeting them! The Museum is flexible on the specific day of the week.
Please! - Let me know, ASAP, which "week" day any of you can spare
during the week of July 14 thru 18 to take part in this worthwhile endeavor
for the kids, who are always among our most ardent admirers and possible
future classical reenactor prospects. The UPM was very good and
supportive of us in March and now it is our turn to support them.
Check out the event at http://www.museum.upenn.edu/new/edu/kids/summercamp.shtml
With my six scuta and the ones you would bring, we could make a nice size testudo and a gladiatorial bout would really get the kids wound-up!
Our Summa Palus Maximus has given his ascent to be there.
Please get back to me on this - yes or no - and dates you are available?
Let's do this for the kids!

FROM THE POST of our Summa Palus John "Maximus" Ebel ---
Ave to all Military and Infamia members of the Ludus Magnus Gladiatores!
I have ordered a Greek hoplite ash shaft, spear head, and butt cap, which
will be assembled and ready for our Hoplomachus fighter, Gaius of Macedonia.
Now we'll get to see the real Greek style!
Aulous of Antioch (Al Barbato) has a nifty surprise for everyone, which shall
remain undisclosed until "Roman Days."
Contact with the Collegium Gladiatorium in Hungary is going great guns.
Thanks to our esteemed Brother Aulous of Antioch, we are in contact with
them and their Opifex, a gentleman named Gustav Garas.
I will provide an update on my communications with this European group
at "Roman Days." I am certain that you will all be very pleased at their
reaction to us, and the width and breadth of our Unit's presence and
exposure WORLDWIDE (Yes, Gallio, I did shout that one out with pride)
due to the efforts of our Esteemed Praefectus Commander with the
development and maintenance of our Legio XXIV/Ludus Magnus website.
By the way, in the Roman Reenactor's links section of cyber-space,
guess which Unit is getting the most hits and been rated the best website?
US!, that's who!!!! BIG URAHHHHH!!!!
Get in shape, Gladiatores . . . our public awaits us in the fair provincia
Media Atlantia. This year, Roman Days sponsor, Cmdr. Quintus (Matt Amt) of
Legio XX has us slated for a 12:00 noon show lasting one full hour.
I want to have a preliminary presentation, followed by at least 4 different-style
engagements, with commentary by Senator Audens, our esteemed Procuratore.
A "high noon" performance means vigorous engagement at the peak of the
sun's rays and mid-day heat . . in June, in Maryland, that could be very intense.
Bring lots of water and drinks like "Gator Ade" and "Yoo Hoo" for energy and
electrolyte replacement. Heatstroke is no joking matter, gfladiatores.
I have been leveled by it twice, and it is no picnic. If you are stricken with it,
you will spend the rest of the weekend in a motel bed recovering with the chills
and shakes. Hydrate!!! Get Some Fat Off and Practice your Moves and do some Cardiovascular Work. Many a skilled combatant has been laid low on
a field of engagement, arena-oriented or otherwise, by such a debilitating
condition. Succumb to it, and your carcass will be processed in the
spoliarium and cut up for lion food. Cave!! Cave!!
As the event in June approaches, please contact me to note your intention to
attend "Roman Days." I remain,
Your Most Humble? and Obedient Servant,
Maximus Mercurius Gladius, Summa Palus

G. Iulius Scaurus Caesariensi salutem dicit.
Salve, Caesariensis.
Carsariensis scriptsit:
> Usually but not necessarily invariably. The Picti appear to have
been matrilineal. What Is usually suggested is that Prasutagas came
of a patriarchal tribe, but Boudicca's Iceni were matriarchal one
since she is the one in direct succession and he the stranger. So he
had no authority within tribal law to will anything anywhere. That is
the start of the clash.
I am curious about the evidence on which you assert that the Iceni
were matrilinear. The numismatic evidence suggests that rulership
among the Iceni was patrilinear. The first inscribed Iceni coin,
dated to the beginning of first century CE, bears the name CAN DVRO.
Circa 25 CE Iceni coins appear beaing the name ANTED[IOS], the Roman
client king with whom are also associated coins inscribed with the
tribal name (ICEN). By 45 CE rivals to Antedios began to issue coins,
AESV[NOS] and SAENV[VAX]. This numismatic evidence may point to the
origins of the Icenian war of 47 CE (Tacitus, Annales, xii.13).
Coinage of Prasutagus appears shortly thereafter bearing the
inscription SUB RI PRASTO ESICO FECIT (under king Prasutagus Esico
made it) and imitating Roman iconography. A nice photograph of the
coin with this inscription can be found at:
http://www.unc.edu/courses/art111/celtic/catalogue/boudica/coins.html
Jonathan Williams' contention that the die was flawed, i.e., the RI
should be read as ESU, and identification of the king's name as
IISVPRASV of the Corieltauvi has not been generally accepted by
numismatists and historians.
There is no inscriptional evidence of coins issued by Boudicca, and
the normal-face/horse types sometimes assigned to the Boudiccan revolt
(R.D. Van Arsdell, ÒThe Coinage of Queen Boudicca,Ó Numismatic
Circular 95 (1987)) are found in hoards some of which are as likely to
have occurred during the Claudian invasion and its aftermath. Even if
the Field Baulk deposit occurred in connection with the Boudiccan
revolt, there is no good reason to assume that all the coins found
there were minted in connection with the revolt. They are likely to
be of earlier provenance (and rather finer than one would expect with
rapid production of coinage to sustain a rebellion) and are associated
with the boar/horse type, of which type the coin with the inscription
CAN DVRO is an example. The normal-face/horse type of Iceni coins
features a moustached male profile on the obverse, which seems to ill
accord with the independent coinage of a queen of the Iceni.
BODVOC is a name inscribed on Dobunnic coins toward the end of the
first century BCE, and he is thought to have been the leader of the
northern Dobunni. There is reason to believe that the expanded form
of his name was Bodvoccus. It is speculative, but not unreasonable,
to suppose a relationship between a name found among the Dubonni and
the name of Prasutagus' wife. A connection to an element of the
Dubonnic nobility may explain the participation of some of the Dubonni
in the revolt of 60CE (the appearance of the name ANTED[...] in coins
of the Dobunni from early first century CE may also suggest an
alternative hypothesis that Bodvoc was a name shared with the Iceni).
I also do not dismiss out of hand the suggestion that Boudicca was
from the ruling family of the Trinovantes, which would help to explain
that tribe's ready participation in the revolt. While royal marriages
across tribes is little attested in the sparse evidence from Iron Age
Britain, there is good evidence of it occurring among the Gauls.
There doesn't seem to me to be much literary or numismatic evidence
that Prasutagus was just the consort of a sovereign Boudicca, but I'd
be glad to read evidence to the contrary.
Vale.

Thank you for the kind words, but I would much rather expand the
conversation about these things than incline others to silence. Many
years ago I studied with Eric Birley who instilled a love for things
Romano-British in me, and the bulk of what we know about the history
of early Roman Britain comes from numismatics, epigraphy, and
archaeology, since the literary sources are sparse and often coloured
by the authors' views on internal Roman politics.

Salvete gentlemen,
That proverb has lingered on our postings for a while so I couldn't
resist. Alas I have been on this remote location in our North West
Territories for a month now; moccasins begin to look like high heels!
Ah, perhaps I'm getting bushed but my relief is schedualed to arrive
on the 14 th. Mead and cold beer awaits my arrival and will surely
help to clear my head.

G. Iulius Scaurus S.P.D.
Avete, Quirites.
The discussion today about coins of the Iceni and Boudicca's revolt
suggested to me that some might be interested in a link to the Oxford
Celtic Coin Index:
http://athens.arch.ox.ac.uk/coins/ccindex.htm
This site, maintained by Dr. Philip de Jersey, provides an excellent
introduction to Iron Age British coins and also includes a link to the
Celtic Coin Index Online, a searchable database with images of coins
in the index.

Salve Illustrus Consul et Amice,
have a nice trip in Germany. Berlin is wonderful and I think you'll
like it (when I went in Berlin, I was reading the phanta-political
romances by Harris ...).
Please, can you confirm your partecipation to the Rally 2756 and of
your friends? Thank you again and I wait for you in Bologna! :-)
Vale bene

Avete omnes,
having read this message, I've begun a research on major Italian
newspapers to see if this news was true or not. I believe that at the
moment there's no mobilization at all in Italian architectural and
archaeological world, probably because this danger does not exist.
As some of you may know, I met less than a month ago (together with
other Italic citizens) D.ssa Irene Iacopi, chief of the Archeological
area of Palatine hill (and Roman Forum) about the Magna Mater
project. During this meeting nothing was said about something wrong
in the hill. D.ssa Iacopi also added that the works of restoration of
the south western side of the hill are almost completed and the site
was to be reopened later (before summer).
I have contacted also Professor Patrizio Pensabene of Rome
University "La Sapienza", he being the archeologist who's been
following the restoration in that area for the past 25 years, and he
didn't mention the fact. Instead he proposed us some important ways
of collaboration with Soprintendenza Archeologica, which will be
communicated to you by our Senior Aedile later as more information
and agreements are gained!

When I read the original French news article in Lucius Rutilius
Minervalis' main list post, I tried to meet his request for a quick
translation into English as a favour for a fellow civis. I deeply
apologise if inaccurate information has been circulated thereby. It
read like most any French newspaper article and I had no reason to
doubt it on its face. I'm not particularly following current
archaeological reports on the Palatine at this point, but I shall try
to do some fact-checking of my own before translating any future
"news" story for the main list again. I'd very much appreciate being
current on the arrangements our Italian citizens are making with the
archaeological authorities.
Vale.

Salve Quintus Fabius,
I remember a while ago now when you responded to a
certain King Gaiseric on the Main List that when the
Vandals reached Rome they were stuck outside the walls
for a period laying seige to the city and were
beginning to starve, as were their horses. I was
wondering if you could tell me the source for that bit
of information?

Salve,
I am excited to have found Nova Roma, as I have been wondering where to
find knowledgeable people who could help me with some short stories I have
been writing, which are set in the reign of Agustus. Although I'm focused
most on making the stories enjoyable to the average reader, I always hate
reading things that have obvious flaws that would have taken just a minute
to fix if only the author had taken the time to ask...
While I'd welcome any (constructive) criticism, I'm particularly eager to
hear about bad choices for names, awkward or just plain wrong Latin, and
historical anachronisms.
If this request is better suited for one of the sodalitates, let me know
which one and I'll gladly post it there.
Most replies should probably be sent to me directly at Mike@Elkins.com.
Sincere Thanks,
Mike Elkins (I haven't chosen a period name yet)

Salevete omnes !
It seems that information that I followed on this list is
inaccurate...
Please, excuse me to have sent this message of the AFP, which seemed
significant to me.
I am happy that the Palatine Mons is not in danger, and sad that the
AFP is not a serious office!!!
I propose to send to the AFP an official mail of protest in the name
of Nova-Roma, asking which were the sources of a so whimsical
information. Who agrees?

Salvete amici!
I have a really old (late 19th century) copy of an interlinear version of
Vergil's _Aeneid _. Ever since I bought the book, I always felt it was a
shame that it was not widely available -- Christians have access to
interlinear Greek New Testaments, English-speaking Jews have access to the
Kohlenberger interlinear Hebrew Tanach, but we followers of the religio have
few interlinear resources widely available for our important texts. So, I've
been scanning the pages and putting them into Adobe Acrobat format. Book 1 is
located in the Latinatis group's files at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Latinitas/files/InterlinearAeneid/
You'll need to zoom out to 100% inside of Adobe Acrobat in order to see
the scans at the best resolution. I'll be uploading more books of the
_Aeneid_ as I complete them. I apologize that some of the pages are difficult
to read, but some of the pages are old, yellow, marked-up, and brittle. I
tried my scanner's built-in hardware OCR to render the pages into text, as
well as Scanbridge, but neither produced satisfactory results, so I just
converted the pages to jpgs.
The problem is that the pdf file for each book is going to be about 5
megs, and there are 12 books, of course. So does Nova-Roma (or someone) have
an FTP site where I could upload these pdf files? There are only 20 megs of
space on the Yahoo groups file areas.
Some other tools for the Aeneid can be found on-line at:
Perseus Project's _Aeneid_
http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.02.0055
_Aeneid_ at The Vergil Project
http://vergil.classics.upenn.edu/workspace/display_frame.html
The Loeb edition (2 volumes) of the _Aeneid_ may also be handy.

Salve Illustrus Rutilius Minervalis,
don't ask apologies, your action was appreciable. The conservation of
out Cultural and Archeological Tresury is one of our most important
goals and we have to check all the news coming up.
I know AFP is a good office and remember that the words were spoken
by a politician. An italic citizen explained me the "political games"
playing in this period because there will the votation in the
Province of Rome soon.
Don't worry, IMHO you have done a wonderful job and it need to
protest against the french office. You have done your duties as Roman
and the we answered because we have seen with our eyes during the
project of Magna Mater. Don't worry, we are here in Italy to check
and vigile ;-)) (I hope LOL)

I don't believe that is not very authentic Roman (though possibly Caligula or Messalina? - no, she surely didn't wear anything). Somebody I know borrowed it from somebody else I know and it is /so/ approriate to a circular argument that's been going on elsewhere that I had it.
