[[Image:CIV-Marcus_Lucretius_Agricola.jpg|right]]Salve!
 
 
I'm a [[NovaRoma:WikiMagisters|Wikimagister]] here. If you have an "issue", please leave a note at [[NovaRoma:Admin_Requests]].
 
 
The school year in Japan starts on the April kalends. This year I am starting a new full-time post, so I won't have much time for wiki things until the next school holiday. More than that, I'll be offline while I move to a new apartment, get the phone turned on and get broadband hooked up. I should be back by the May kalends.
 
 
[http://www.novaroma.org/civitas/album?id=7619 My Album Gentium page] has more ways to contact me. I've also been lurking sometimes on the [[Market Day (Nova Roma)|Nova Roma chat]]. Even if it says I'm away, I might just be on another screen.

The Pontifical Council for Inter-religious Dialogue said, "Each religion, with its respective sacred books, places of worship and symbols, has the right to respect and protection. We are speaking about the respect to be accorded the dignity of the person who is an adherent of that religion and his/her free choice in religious matters." Sept. 2010


Latin English
M. Pomponius praetor senatum consuluit. M. Pomponius praetor consulted the Senate.
Quod verba facta sunt de philosophis et de rhetoribus, de ea re ita censuerunt: Whereas a report was made concerning philosophers and rhetoricians, the senators proposed as follows in regard to the said matter:
ut M. Pomponius praetor animadverteret curaretque, uti ei e republica fideque sua videretur, uti Romae ne essent. M. Pomponius praetor shall take measures and shall provide that no philosophers or rhetoricians shall dwell in Rome, if it appears to him to be in the public interest and in accordance with his own good faith.
