The reports on weather.com I'm seeing for the weekend are rain late
afternoon Saturday and Sunday partly sunny. These reports change often
of course.

Well, as you know I was hoping to buy something but I don't know about
others.

I understand your view completely, and it's not a Nova Roma event so the
the presence is not required but you would be missed. Can you imagine
that, ME at Roman Days and not YOU? Usually it's the other way around
but this will be my first appearance.

I'm not going for the event so much as to meet other Nova Romans.

Salvete omnes,

Come now, act not like the perfumed haired Greek dandy court poets,
the eunichs of Cleopatra's Palace or the howling mobs in the
colosseum safetly in the bleachers howling advice to those about to
die. A little rainfall? Where is the spirit that made Rome master of
the world? Where is the stoicism preached by the great Marcus
Aurelius? Will you all be hiding in your tents cowering from the
thunder and shivering like barbarian women in a cold cave suckling
their young ones? You should let the show go on for Roman days.
Surely the motels must have saunas and massage therapies after a cold
damp day in the field!

Regards from Quintus Lanius Paulinus who is stuck in the gods
forgiven barbarian wilderness between British Columbia and Alaska
trodding in deep mud, being eaten alive by mosquitoes the size of
humming birds, dodging black bear and grizzely on his way to lunch as
well as being very jealous he cannot attend Roman days!

Here is a sight about the life of women gladiators posted on another

well done in my opinion. Enjoy!

Salve my friend Tiberi,

Amen to that! I sure hope they do a NR convention at Caesars Palace
in Vegas in the near future. Please do take a few drinks for me. When
I return to Edmonton I am going to make spiced Roman wines according
to Appicius' recepies, drink in your honour and report the taste and
buzz to my fellow Romans. Also there was an article on ancient
Egyptian wines on the learning channel a few days ago. Apparently
they dropped Lotus flower petals in the wine which greatly enhanced
it for energy and sexual potency. The combo they figured had similar
properties to Glinko Baloba. I can probably at least find lotus
leaves in China town and I'll see what they do to my brew. Perhaps
I'll have to discuss the results in the back alley if the claims are
true!

Here's a link to "Itinera Electronica":

http://pot-pourri.fltr.ucl.ac.be/itinera/

This site, maintained by Alain Meurant (D�partement d'etudes
grecques, latines et orientales, Facult� de philosophie, Universit�
catholique de Louvain), provides electronic tools for the study of
classical languages, a large collection of primary source e-texts,
philological and literary essays, and a very interesting discussion of
the application of statistical analysis to philological and literary
studies with reports of several such applications. The site is in
French, but can be viewed via Altavista's Babelfish machine
