<br />
Founder of [http://www.facebook.com/aedesvenusgenetrix Aedes Venus Genetrix] and [http://www.facebook.com/groups/MysticSanctuary/ Mystic Sanctuary of Fortuna Primigenia] in Nashville, Tn.

<br />
L. Julia Aquila was born into a stoic familia that considers themselves "Roman," in addition to Italian, in both maternal and paternal ancestry; her paternal name is Aquila. She grew up proud of being Roman nourished by many hours of listening to stories and lore of her ancestors; her maternal northern Italian (inc. France and Switzerland) and paternal military Roman bloodlines that incorporated of best of the Roman antiquity. At an early age she was initiated into what is known as the Religio Romana through family lineage and has continued a lifetime of study and research in various Traditions, Philosophies and Orders.<br />
<br />
Julia holds an MSN (Nursing), BA (Psychology) and Ph.D. (Philosophy). She occasionally lectures and holds workshops on a variety of subjects, however she has taken an early retirement from a lucrative career in international Medical Marketing, PR and Sales preferring to express herself in a variety of Artistic pursuits using different mediums accepting commissions that include sculpture, carving, oils, acrylics and water colors etc.<br />
<br />
In her leisure time Julia enjoys reading the classics, poetry and other books on a variety of subjects - including an occasional well written and thought provoking novel. High interests include science, languages and martial arts. She enjoys creative writing and has been published in a local Medical Journals in the past. Julia often takes to wandering with her camera which she hopes to master some day.<br />
<br />
Julia's greatest joys are her family, esp. grandson, M. Iulius Aquila and friends.<br />

==Praetorium==<br />
<br />
The Praetorium is the office of the propraetor, or governor, of a Nova Roman province. The current Provincial Praetorium is located in Nasburgum, Tennesia (Nashville, Tennessee), Provincia America Austrorientalis, America Septentrionalis. The Propraetor America Austrorientalis is assisted by a staff like that of a present day government.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:prop_vex_aae.jpg]] <br />
<br />
==Cohors Propraetoris==<br />
The staff personnel of the Praetorium, Cohors Propraetoris, handle areas like the treasury, the military, interprovincial relations, and public games and gatherings. The Cohors Propraetoris consists of all the assistants (legati and scribae) of the Propraetor America Austrorientalis.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
All members (Legati and Consiliari) of the Consilium Provincia are part of the inner circle of the Cohors Propraetoris. All other officials appointed by the Propraetor are parts of the outer circle of the Cohors Propraetoris. This does not mean that they lack in importance. On the contrary, they each have an important field of responsibility.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The whole Cohors Propraetoris is the modern equivalent of the advisors of the provincial Governor of Roma Antiqua. The Propraetor's retinue in antiquity was in many respects a military one, today they are valuable advisors and administrative assistants.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As the governors of the old days, the Propraetor expects a certain loyalty, discipline and unity from the Cohors Propraetoris. The members of the Consilium Provincia should, as a kind of General's staff, set an example in this and all Roman behavior to the rest of the Cohors Propraetoris.<br />

America Austrorientalis (AAe) is one of the numerous Provinciae of Nova Roma, each of which has its own governor and organizes its own events and activities. America Austrorientalis has a strong Nova Roman community, which is held together largely thanks to our mailing lists and live events. Our citizens live all across the Southeastern United States.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Nova Roma has much to offer to all those interested in the many facets of Ancient Rome. We have many associations known as Sodalitates which are dedicated to studying a wide range of topics, including but not limited to the Roman military, the Latin Language, and various cultural arts. Provinces hold events to promote membership and encourage participation. Nova Roma is diverse enough to accommodate almost any field of interest in Ancient Rome, including the Religio Romana.<br />
<br />
<br />
For administrative purposes, the provincia of America Austrorientalis is also divided into five Regiones, geographically corresponding to modern political districts, each of which is assigned a Legate, who deals with the day-to-day running of his or her Regio. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Provincia America Austrorientalis is administered by a Propraetor appointed by the Senate of Nova Roma. The Propraetor has the power of imperium and can issue edicts (laws on the provincial level). The Propraetor can also appoint Legati and Scribae. All of these have different titles (see the Cohors Propraetoris).<br />

Veneralia
2012-04-08T20:18:00Z
<p>Lucia Iulia Aquila: </p>
<hr />
<div>{{LanguageBar|Veneralia}}<br />
<br />
On April 1st the festival of [[Venus Verticordia]] known as the [[Veneralia]] celebrates the chaste Goddess [[Venus]] who changes the human heart. On this day Roman women asked Mater [[Venus Verticordia]] for assistance in affairs of the heart, sex, betrothal and marriage. <br />
<br />
There are two legends for the [[Veneralia]]:<br />
In the first, as already noted, it was a time when there was a rash of licentiousness of Roman women and in hope of turning matrons and unmarried girls hearts to embrace chastity a vow was made in response to advice from a Sibylline oracle to [[Venus]] as the Changer of Hearts to dedicate a statue and a day, April 1st, in her honor. Much later in 114 BC [[Venus Verticordia]] was given her own temple to expiate the crimen incesti of the Vestal Virgins who broke their vows of chastity .<br />
Here the second legend comes in. On the journey home to Apulia after the Roman Games the virgin daughter of a Roman knight was struck by lightning and killed while on horse back. The state of her body, her tongue protruding and tunic pulled up to her waste and the accessories and body parts of her horse scattered about her was a dire prodigy. The Sibylline oracle was also consulted in this matter. The meaning became clear as three Vestals were guilty of unchaste conduct in collusion with many Equestrians. All, both male and female, were punished and a Temple to [[Venus Verticordia]] was built. The second legend however has more severe implications because the Vestals not only had to be chaste but also Virgins and the loss of virginity of even one Vestal could mean the collapse of the Roman state. A Vestal who broke her vow could not conceal it forever because the Gods would reveal the transgression through prodigies. The foundational story of the Temple of [[Venus Verticordia]] tells us that three of the six Vestals were found guilty of crimen incesti, in addition one of the Vestals had one lover but the other two had relations with numerous knights.<br />
<br />
Both legends according to Ovid resulted in both the statue and the Temple (and keeping of the festival) being offered in fulfillment of a vow to [[Venus Verticordia]] to assure correction of the wanton ways of Roman Matronae and unmarried women making them chaste with positive implications for the welfare of the Roman State. In this respect [[Venus]] is the Changer of Hearts.<br />
The statue of the Goddess was taken from her sacullum at the Temple to the baths, all accouterments removed and bathed in the warm waters as part of the ritual during the sacrificium, Her statue was dried, the gold necklaces restored, a wreath of myrtle to adorn her, and lavished in flowers, esp. roses. This assured the patronage of the Goddess and as Changer of Hearts the pudicitia of the matronae and umarried daughters of Roman citizens. Both women and men of all classes, married or unmarried, invoked [[Venus Verticordia]] for Her assistance in affairs of the heart, sex, betrothal and marriage. [[Venus Verticordia]] persuaded Romans to cherish the traditional sexual proprieties and morality known to please the gods and benefit the State<br />
The chaste matronae and brides of the cultus of Venus Verticordia revered the Goddess each year with festivals and rituals. The women drank a libation of crushed poppies with milk and honey: the potion that Venus drank on her wedding night.<br />
<br />
The [[Veneralia]] festival was an all-female affair; however there is no evidence that males were excluded as no explicit ritual prohibition existed in the all matronae Cult of [[Venus Verticordia]]. The purpose of the rituals of [[Venus Verticordia]] centers around the importance of both male and female in the physical relationship, so although males did not participate in the rituals they contributed to the fundamental ideology of the cult. As far as we know Vestals, while foundational for the cult, did not participate in the rite. [[Venus Verticordia]] ensured that the Vestals and Roman women obeyed the rules assigned to them by the Roman society. The Vestals returned their focus to their duties and as keepers of the flame guaranteed a flourishing society and Roman women set to the task of being chaste (faithful) wives, mothers and daughters.<br />

(Duly do ye worship the goddess, ye Latin mothers and brides, and ye, too, who wear not the fillets and long robe. Take off the golden necklaces from the marble neck of the goddess; take off her gauds; the goddess must be washed from top to toe. Then dry her neck and restore to it her golden necklaces; now give her other flowers, now give her the fresh-blown rose. Ye, too, she herself bids bathe under the green myrtle, and there is a certain reason for her command; learn what it is. Naked, she was drying on the shore her oozy locks, when the satyrs, a wanton crew, espied the goddess. She perceived it, and screened her body by myrtle interposed: that done, she was safe, and she bids you do the same. Learn now why ye give incense to Virile Fortune in the place which reeks of warm water. All women strip when they enter that place, and every blemish on the naked body is plain to see; Virile Fortune undertakes to conceal the blemish and to hide it from the men, and this she does for the consideration of a little incense. Nor grudge to take poppy pounded with snowy milk and liquid honey squeezed from the comb; when Venus was first escorted to her eager spouse, she drank that draught: from that time she was a bride. Propitiate her with supplications; beauty and virtue and good fame are in her keeping. In the time of our forefathers Rome had fallen from a state of chastity, and the ancients consulted the old woman of Cumae. She ordered a temple to be built to Venus, and when that was duly done, Venus took the name of Changer of the Heart (Verticordia) from the event.

<br />
On April 1st the festival of [[Venus Verticordia]] known as the [[Veneralia]] celebrates the chaste Goddess [[Venus]] who changes the human heart. On this day Roman women asked Mater [[Venus Verticordia]] for assistance in affairs of the heart, sex, betrothal and marriage. <br />
<br />
There are two legends for the [[Veneralia]]:<br />
In the first, as already noted, it was a time when there was a rash of licentiousness of Roman women and in hope of turning matrons and unmarried girls hearts to embrace chastity a vow was made in response to advice from a Sibylline oracle to [[Venus]] as the Changer of Hearts to dedicate a statue and a day, April 1st, in her honor. Much later in 114 BC [[Venus Verticordia]] was given her own temple to expiate the crimen incesti of the Vestal Virgins who broke their vows of chastity .<br />
Here the second legend comes in. On the journey home to Apulia after the Roman Games the virgin daughter of a Roman knight was struck by lightning and killed while on horse back. The state of her body, her tongue protruding and tunic pulled up to her waste and the accessories and body parts of her horse scattered about her was a dire prodigy. The Sibylline oracle was also consulted in this matter. The meaning became clear as three Vestals were guilty of unchaste conduct in collusion with many Equestrians. All, both male and female, were punished and a Temple to [[Venus Verticordia]] was built. The second legend however has more severe implications because the Vestals not only had to be chaste but also Virgins and the loss of virginity of even one Vestal could mean the collapse of the Roman state. A Vestal who broke her vow could not conceal it forever because the Gods would reveal the transgression through prodigies. The foundational story of the Temple of [[Venus Verticordia]] tells us that three of the six Vestals were found guilty of crimen incesti, in addition one of the Vestals had one lover but the other two had relations with numerous knights.<br />
<br />
Both legends according to Ovid resulted in both the statue and the Temple (and keeping of the festival) being offered in fulfillment of a vow to [[Venus Verticordia]] to assure correction of the wanton ways of Roman Matronae and unmarried women making them chaste with positive implications for the welfare of the Roman State. In this respect [[Venus]] is the Changer of Hearts.<br />
The statue of the Goddess was taken from her sacullum at the Temple to the baths, all accouterments removed and bathed in the warm waters as part of the ritual during the sacrificium, Her statue was dried, the gold necklaces restored, a wreath of myrtle to adorn her, and lavished in flowers, esp. roses. This assured the patronage of the Goddess and as Changer of Hearts the pudicitia of the matronae and umarried daughters of Roman citizens. Both women and men of all classes, married or unmarried, invoked [[Venus Verticordia]] for Her assistance in affairs of the heart, sex, betrothal and marriage. [[Venus Verticordia]] persuaded Romans to cherish the traditional sexual proprieties and morality known to please the gods and benefit the State<br />
The chaste matronae and brides of the cultus of Venus Verticordia revered the Goddess each year with festivals and rituals. The women drank a libation of crushed poppies with milk and honey: the potion that Venus drank on her wedding night.<br />
<br />
The [[Veneralia]] festival was an all-female affair; however there is no evidence that males were excluded as no explicit ritual prohibition existed in the all matronae Cult of [[Venus Verticordia]]. The purpose of the rituals of [[Venus Verticordia]] centers around the importance of both male and female in the physical relationship, so although males did not participate in the rituals they contributed to the fundamental ideology of the cult. As far as we know Vestals, while foundational for the cult, did not participate in the rite. [[Venus Verticordia]] ensured that the Vestals and Roman women obeyed the rules assigned to them by the Roman society. The Vestals returned their focus to their duties and as keepers of the flame guaranteed a flourishing society and Roman women set to the task of being chaste (faithful) wives, mothers and daughters.<br />

<br />
April is sacred to [[Venus]], Mother of the Roman people, the Goddess of joy, Supreme Goddess, love, beauty, fertility, chastity, the heavens, union and reconciliation, luck, myrtle, indulgence, grace, motherhood and domesticity, sexual morality of matronae, funerals and undertakers, the Blessed Isles and victory as patroness of soldiers. <br />
<br />
On April 1st the festival of [[Venus Verticordia]] known as the [[Veneralia]] celebrates the chaste Goddess Venus who changes the human heart. On this day Roman women asked Mater [[Venus Verticordia]] for assistance in affairs of the heart, sex, betrothal and marriage.<br />
Although the exact date is unknown, sometime in the late 3rd or early 2nd century a statue was dedicated to [[Venus Verticordia]] which may have been kept in a sacullum in the Temple of [[Venus Obsequens]] or [[Venus Erycina]] [1] until her own Temple was built. Chosen from amongst the final ten of the most chaste Roman matrons from a group of 100, most chaste Sulpicia, the daughter of Gaius Sulpicius Paterculus and wife of Quintus Fulvius Flaccus was deemed worthy to oversee the dedication of the statue of Venus Verticordia (Changer of Hearts):<br />
<br />
<br />
“ Merito uirorum commemorationi Sulpicia Serui Paterculi filia, Q. Fului Flacci uxor, adicitur. quae, cum senatus libris Sibyllinis per decemuiros inspectis censuisset ut Veneris Verticordiae simulacrum consecraretur, quo facilius uirginum mulierumque mens a libidine ad pudicitiam conuerteretur, et ex omnibus matronis centum, ex centum autem decem sorte ductae de sanctissima femina iudicium facerent, cunctis castitate praelata est.” Valerius Maximus 8.15.12<br />
<br />
(Sulpicia, daughter of Ser. Paterculus and wife of Q. Fulvius Flaccus, deserves to be added (among illustrious men). After the Sibylline books had been inspected by the Decemviri, the Senate ordained that an image of [[Venus Verticordi]]a be consecrated, the more easily to turn the minds of virgins and married women from lust to chastity; and that from all the matrons one hundred and from the one hundred ten chosen by lot should make the judgment, who was the most blameless of the sex. Sulpicia was placed above them all for her purity.) <br />
<br />
<br />
There are two legends for the [[Veneralia]]:<br />
<br />
In the first, as already noted, that it was a time when there was a rash of licentiousness of Roman women so in hope of turning matrons and unmarried girls hearts to embrace chastity a vow was made in response to advice from a Sibylline oracle [2] to [[Venus]] as the Changer of Hearts to dedicate a statue and a day, April 1st, in her honor.[3] Much later in 114 BC [[Venus Verticordia]] was given her own temple to expiate the crimen incesti of the Vestal Virgins who broke their vows of chastity .[4] <br />
<br />
Here the second legend comes in. On the journey home to Apulia after the Roman Games the virgin daughter of a Roman knight was struck by lightning and killed while on horseback. The state of her body, her tongue protruding and tunic pulled up to her waste and the accessories and body parts of her horse scattered about her was a dire prodigy. The Sibylline oracle was also consulted in this matter. The meaning became clear as three Vestals were guilty of unchaste conduct in collusion with many Equestrians. All, both male and female, were punished and a Temple to [[Venus Verticordia]] was built.[5] The second legend however has more severe implications because the Vestals not only had to be chaste but also Virgins and the loss of virginity of even one Vestal could mean the collapse of the Roman state. A Vestal who broke her vow could not conceal it forever because the Gods would reveal the transgression through prodigies. The foundational story of the Temple of [[Venus Verticordia]] tells us that three of the six Vestals were found guilty of crimen incesti, in addition, one of the Vestals had one lover but the other two had relations with numerous knights.<br />
<br />
<br />
“Three had known men at the same time. Of these Marcia had acted by herself, granting her favours to one single knight, and would never have been discovered, had not the investigation into the cases of the others extended and involved her also; Aemilia and Licinia, on the other hand, had a multitude of lovers and carried on their wanton behaviour with each other's help. At first they surrendered themselves to some few privately and secretly, telling each man that he was the only one favoured. Later they themselves bound every one who could suspect and inform against them to certain silence in advance by the price of intercourse with them, and those who had previously enjoyed their favours, though they saw this, yet had to put up with it in order not to be detected through a display of their vexation. So besides holding commerce with various others, now singly, now in groups, sometimes privately, sometimes all together, Licinia enjoyed the society of the brother of Aemilia, and Aemilia that of Licinia's brother. These doings were hidden for a very long time, and though many men and many women, both freemen and slaves, were in the secret, it was kept concealed for a very long period, until one Manius, who seems to have been the first to assist and cooperate in the whole evil, gave information of the matter, because he had not obtained freedom nor any of the other objects of his hope. And since he was very skilful not only at leading women into prostitution, but also in sowing slander and discord among them, . . .” Cassius Dio, ROMAN HISTORY Liber XXVI: 87<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Both legends according to Ovid resulted in both the statue and the Temple (and keeping of the festival) being offered in fulfillment of a vow to [[Venus Verticordia]] to assure correction of the wanton ways of Roman Matronae and unmarried women making them chaste with positive implications for the welfare of the Roman State. In this respect Venus is the Changer of Hearts.[6]<br />
<br />
The chaste matronae and brides of the cultus of [[Venus Verticordia]] revered the Goddess each year with festivals and rituals. The women drank a libation of crushed poppies with milk and honey: the potion that Venus drank on her wedding night.<br />
<br />
<br />
“cum primum cupido [[Venu]]s est deducta marito, hoc bibit; ex illo tempore nupta fuit.”<br />
<br />
(When [[Venus]] was first led to Her lusting husband, She drank this; She was a wife thereafter)<br />
Ovidus Fasti IV <br />
<br />
<br />
The statue of the Goddess was taken from her sacullum at the Temple to the baths, all accouterments removed and bathed in the warm waters as part of the ritual during the sacrificium, Her statue was dried, the gold necklaces restored, a wreath of myrtle to adorn her, and lavished in flowers, esp. roses.[7] This assured the patronage of the Goddess and as Changer of Hearts the pudicitia of the matronae and umarried daughters of Roman citizens. Both women and men of all classes, married or unmarried, invoked [[Venus Verticordia]] for Her assistance in affairs of the heart, sex, betrothal and marriage. [[Venus Verticordia]] persuaded Romans to cherish the traditional sexual proprieties and morality known to please the gods and benefit the State [8]<br />
<br />
The cultus of Roman matrons for [[Venus Verticordia]] also invoked the Goddess make them desirable and submissive to their husbands. The cultores adopted Dido in the sense of being the first worshipper of the cultus for [[Venus]]. [[Venus]], as Mother of Aeneas and thus of all Romans, enters into an agreement with Juno which results in a “marriage.” . In Virgil's Aeneid, Aeneas spends a night with Dido which is implied in the language of a confarreatio, (patrician marriage ceremony).<br />
<br />
<br />
The [[Veneralia]] festival was an all-female affair; however there is no evidence that males were excluded as no explicit ritual prohibition existed in the all matronae Cult of [[Venus Verticordia]].[9] The purpose of the rituals of [[Venus Verticordia]] centers around the importance of both male and female in the physical relationship, so although males did not participate in the rituals they contributed to the fundamental ideology of the cult. As far as we know Vestals, while foundational for the cult, did not participate in the rite.[10] [[Venus Verticordia]] ensured that the Vestals and Roman women obeyed the rules assigned to them by the Roman society. The Vestals returned their focus to their duties and as keepers of the flame guaranteed a flourishing society and Roman women set to the task of being chaste (faithful) wives, mothers and daughters.[11] <br />
<br />
<br />
Rites for the Goddess [[Fortuna Virilis]] (Bold Fortune) were also part of this festival with the rites being held at the same time. In the rites of both festivals women sought divine help in their relations with men. The Cult of [[Fortuna Virilis]] was the older of the two (and may have been Venus Fortuna Virilis earlier in history) however fell into disrepute. In general, wealthier Roman women sought the assistance of [[Venus Verticordia]] and lesser women or prostitutes sought the assistance of [[Fortuna Virilis]]. As in the rituals for [[Venus Verticordia]], The jewelry was removed from the statue of [[Fortuna Virilis]] and ritually washed, and then flowers and incense were offered to her. Those women and prostitutes, of the ordinary populace, in homage to [[Fortuna Virilis]] would strip naked and bath in the mens’ public baths wearing wreaths of myrtle on their heads. They would offer incense for the luck of promoting sexual union and the Goddess would conceal any defects of their bodies. [12]<br />

(Duly do ye worship the goddess, ye Latin mothers and brides, and ye, too, who wear not the fillets and long robe. Take off the golden necklaces from the marble neck of the goddess; take off her gauds; the goddess must be washed from top to toe. Then dry her neck and restore to it her golden necklaces; now give her other flowers, now give her the fresh-blown rose. Ye, too, she herself bids bathe under the green myrtle, and there is a certain reason for her command; learn what it is. Naked, she was drying on the shore her oozy locks, when the satyrs, a wanton crew, espied the goddess. She perceived it, and screened her body by myrtle interposed: that done, she was safe, and she bids you do the same. Learn now why ye give incense to Virile Fortune in the place which reeks of warm water. All women strip when they enter that place, and every blemish on the naked body is plain to see; Virile Fortune undertakes to conceal the blemish and to hide it from the men, and this she does for the consideration of a little incense. Nor grudge to take poppy pounded with snowy milk and liquid honey squeezed from the comb; when [[Venus]] was first escorted to her eager spouse, she drank that draught: from that time she was a bride. Propitiate her with supplications; beauty and virtue and good fame are in her keeping. In the time of our forefathers Rome had fallen from a state of chastity, and the ancients consulted the old woman of Cumae. She ordered a temple to be built to Venus, and when that was duly done, [[Venus]] took the name of Changer of the Heart (Verticordia) from the event. Fairest of goddesses, ever behold the sons of Aenas with look benign, and guard thine offspring’s numerous wives.)<br />

<br />
April is sacred to [[Venus]], Mother of the Roman people, the Goddess of joy, Supreme Goddess, love, beauty, fertility, chastity, the heavens, union and reconciliation, luck, myrtle, indulgence, grace, motherhood and domesticity, sexual morality of matronae, funerals and undertakers, the Blessed Isles and victory as patron of soldiers. <br />
<br />
On April 1st the festival of [[Venus Verticordia]] known as the [[Veneralia]] celebrates the chaste Goddess Venus who changes the human heart. On this day Roman women asked Mater [[Venus Verticordia]] or assistance with assistance in affairs of the heart, sex, betrothal and marriage.<br />
Although the exact date is unknown, sometime in the late 3rd or early 2nd century a statue was dedicated to [[Venus Verticordia]] which may have been kept in a sacullum in the Temple of [[Venus Obsequens]] or [[Venus Erycina]] [1] until her own Temple was built. Chosen from amongst the final ten most chaste matrons from a group of 100, most chaste Sulpicia, the daughter of Gaius Sulpicius Paterculus and wife of Quintus Fulvius Flaccus was chosen by Roman matrons as being worthy to oversee the dedication of the statue of Venus Verticordia (Changer of Hearts):<br />
<br />
<br />
“ Merito uirorum commemorationi Sulpicia Serui Paterculi filia, Q. Fului Flacci uxor, adicitur. quae, cum senatus libris Sibyllinis per decemuiros inspectis censuisset ut Veneris Verticordiae simulacrum consecraretur, quo facilius uirginum mulierumque mens a libidine ad pudicitiam conuerteretur, et ex omnibus matronis centum, ex centum autem decem sorte ductae de sanctissima femina iudicium facerent, cunctis castitate praelata est.” Valerius Maximus 8.15.12<br />
<br />
(Sulpicia, daughter of Ser. Paterculus and wife of Q. Fulvius Flaccus, deserves to be added (among illustrious men). After the Sibylline books had been inspected by the Decemviri, the Senate ordained that an image of [[Venus Verticordi]]a be consecrated, the more easily to turn the minds of virgins and married women from lust to chastity; and that from all the matrons one hundred and from the one hundred ten chosen by lot should make the judgment, who was the most blameless of the sex. Sulpicia was placed above them all for her purity.) <br />
<br />
<br />
There are two legends for the [[Veneralia]]:<br />
<br />
In the first, as already noted, it was a time when there was a rash of licentiousness of Roman women and in hope of turning matrons and unmarried girls hearts to embrace chastity a vow was made in response to advice from a Sibylline oracle [2] to [[Venus]] as the Changer of Hearts to dedicate a statue and a day, April 1st in her honor.[3] Much later in 114 BC [[Venus Verticordia]] was given her own temple to expiate the crimen incesti of the Vestal Virgins who broke their vows of chastity .[4] <br />
<br />
Here the second legend comes in. On the journey home to Apulia after the Roman Games the virgin daughter of a Roman knight was struck by lightning and killed. The state of her body, her tongue protruding and tunic pulled up to her waste and the accessories of her horse scattered about her was a dire prodigy. The Sibylline oracle was also consulted in this matter. The meaning became clear as three Vestals were guilty of unchaste conduct in collusion with many Equestrians. All, both male and female, were punished and a Temple to [[Venus Verticordia]] was built.[5] The second legend however has more severe implications because the Vestals not only had to be chaste but also Virgins and the loss of virginity of even one Vestal could mean the collapse of the Roman state. A Vestal who broke her vow could not conceal it forever because the Gods would reveal the transgression through prodigies. The foundational story of the Temple of [[Venus Verticordia]] tells us that three of the six Vestals were found guilty of crimen incesti, in addition one of the Vestals had one lover but the other two had relations with numerous knights.<br />
<br />
<br />
“Three had known men at the same time. Of these Marcia had acted by herself, granting her favours to one single knight, and would never have been discovered, had not the investigation into the cases of the others extended and involved her also; Aemilia and Licinia, on the other hand, had a multitude of lovers and carried on their wanton behaviour with each other's help. At first they surrendered themselves to some few privately and secretly, telling each man that he was the only one favoured. Later they themselves bound every one who could suspect and inform against them to certain silence in advance by the price of intercourse with them, and those who had previously enjoyed their favours, though they saw this, yet had to put up with it in order not to be detected through a display of their vexation. So besides holding commerce with various others, now singly, now in groups, sometimes privately, sometimes all together, Licinia enjoyed the society of the brother of Aemilia, and Aemilia that of Licinia's brother. These doings were hidden for a very long time, and though many men and many women, both freemen and slaves, were in the secret, it was kept concealed for a very long period, until one Manius, who seems to have been the first to assist and cooperate in the whole evil, gave information of the matter, because he had not obtained freedom nor any of the other objects of his hope. And since he was very skilful not only at leading women into prostitution, but also in sowing slander and discord among them, . . .” Cassius Dio, ROMAN HISTORY Liber XXVI: 87<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Both legends according to Ovid resulted in both the statue and the Temple (and keeping of the festival) being offered in fulfillment of a vow to [[Venus Verticordia]] to assure correction of the wanton ways of Roman Matronae and unmarried women making them chaste with positive implications for the welfare of the Roman State. In this respect Venus is the Changer of Hearts.[6]<br />
<br />
The chaste matronae and brides of the cultus of [[Venus Verticordia]] revered the Goddess each year with festivals and rituals. The women drank a libation of crushed poppies with milk and honey: the potion that Venus drank on her wedding night.<br />
<br />
<br />
“cum primum cupido [[Venu]]s est deducta marito, hoc bibit; ex illo tempore nupta fuit.”<br />
<br />
(When [[Venus]] was first led to Her lusting husband, She drank this; She was a wife thereafter)<br />
Ovidus Fasti IV <br />
<br />
<br />
The statue of the Goddess was taken from her sacullum at the Temple to the baths, all accouterments removed and bathed in the warm waters as part of the ritual during the sacrificium, Her statue was dried, the gold necklaces restored, a wreath of myrtle to adorn her, and lavished in flowers, esp. roses.[7] This assured the patronage of the Goddess and as Changer of Hearts the pudicitia of the matronae and umarried daughters of Roman citizens. Both women and men of all classes, married or unmarried, invoked [[Venus Verticordia]] for Her assistance in affairs of the heart, sex, betrothal and marriage. [[Venus Verticordia]] persuaded Romans to cherish the traditional sexual proprieties and morality known to please the gods and benefit the State [8]<br />
<br />
The cultus of Roman matrons for [[Venus Verticordia]] also invoked the Goddess make them desirable and submissive to their husbands. The cultores adopted Dido in the sense of being the first worshipper of the cultus for [[Venus]]. [[Venus]], as Mother of Aeneas and thus of all Romans, enters into an agreement with Juno which results in a “marriage.” . In Virgil's Aeneid, Aeneas spends a night with Dido which is implied in the language of a confarreatio, (patrician marriage ceremony).<br />
<br />
<br />
The [[Veneralia]] festival was an all-female affair; however there is no evidence that males were excluded as no explicit ritual prohibition existed in the all matronae Cult of [[Venus Verticordia]].[9] The purpose of the rituals of [[Venus Verticordia]] centers around the importance of both male and female in the physical relationship, so although males did not participate in the rituals they contributed to the fundamental ideology of the cult. As far as we know Vestals, while foundational for the cult, did not participate in the rite.[10] [[Venus Verticordia]] ensured that the Vestals and Roman women obeyed the rules assigned to them by the Roman society. The Vestals returned their focus to their duties and as keepers of the flame guaranteed a flourishing society and Roman women set to the task of being chaste (faithful) wives, mothers and daughters.[11] <br />
<br />
<br />
Rites for the Goddess [[Fortuna Virilis]] (Bold Fortune) were also part of this festival with the rites being held at the same time. In the rites of both festivals women sought divine help in their relations with men. The Cult of [[Fortuna Virilis]] was the older of the two (and may have been Venus Fortuna Virilis earlier in history) however fell into disrepute. In general, wealthier Roman women sought the assistance of [[Venus Verticordia]] and lesser women or prostitutes sought the assistance of [[Fortuna Virilis]]. As in the rituals for [[Venus Verticordia]], The jewelry was removed from the statue of [[Fortuna Virilis]] and ritually washed, and then flowers and incense were offered to her. Those women and prostitutes, of the ordinary populace, in homage to [[Fortuna Virilis]] would strip naked and bath in the mens’ public baths wearing wreaths of myrtle on their heads. They would offer incense for the luck of promoting sexual union and the Goddess would conceal any defects of their bodies. [12]<br />

(Duly do ye worship the goddess, ye Latin mothers and brides, and ye, too, who wear not the fillets and long robe. Take off the golden necklaces from the marble neck of the goddess; take off her gauds; the goddess must be washed from top to toe. Then dry her neck and restore to it her golden necklaces; now give her other flowers, now give her the fresh-blown rose. Ye, too, she herself bids bathe under the green myrtle, and there is a certain reason for her command; learn what it is. Naked, she was drying on the shore her oozy locks, when the satyrs, a wanton crew, espied the goddess. She perceived it, and screened her body by myrtle interposed: that done, she was safe, and she bids you do the same. Learn now why ye give incense to Virile Fortune in the place which reeks of warm water. All women strip when they enter that place, and every blemish on the naked body is plain to see; Virile Fortune undertakes to conceal the blemish and to hide it from the men, and this she does for the consideration of a little incense. Nor grudge to take poppy pounded with snowy milk and liquid honey squeezed from the comb; when [[Venus]] was first escorted to her eager spouse, she drank that draught: from that time she was a bride. Propitiate her with supplications; beauty and virtue and good fame are in her keeping. In the time of our forefathers Rome had fallen from a state of chastity, and the ancients consulted the old woman of Cumae. She ordered a temple to be built to Venus, and when that was duly done, [[Venus]] took the name of Changer of the Heart (Verticordia) from the event. Fairest of goddesses, ever behold the sons of Aenas with look benign, and guard thine offspring’s numerous wives.)<br />

A Roman Festival held from April 27th (28th according to Ovid) to May 3rd symbolizing the renewal of life.<br />
<br />
<br />
A temple was built to honor the goddess of flowers and blossoming plants, [[Flora]]. In 263 BCE it was dedicated on April 27 (April 28th according to Ovidus) to May 2nd or 3rd to the Goddess [[Flora]] and the festival of Floralia was first declared to solicit her protection, propitiousness of crops and flowers in gardens and fields and wealth. Favonius, the God of the West Wind had authority over plants and flowers and upon taking by force, the Nymph, Flora, into marriage He gifted that dominion to the Goddess as amends. [[Flora]] was honored as a fertility Goddess by the Sabines an old Italic tribe of the Apennines before the founding of Rome. The Goddess can avert the fungal disease of plants, particularly wheat, known as rust that causes iron colored growths.<br />
“Itaque iidem floralia iiii kal. easdem instituerunt urbis anno dxvi ex oraculis sibyllae, ut omnia bene deflorescerent. hunc diem Varro determinat sole tauri partem xiiii obtinente. ergo si in hoc quadriduum inciderit plenilunium, fruges et omnia, quae florebunt, laedi necesse erit.” “The same people also, in the year of the City 513, instituted the Floralia, a festival held upon the fourth before the calends of May, in accordance with the oracular injunctions of the Sibyl, to secure a favorable season for the blossoms and flowers. Varro fixes this day as the time at which the sun enters the fourteenth degree of Taurus. [April 28] If there should happen to be a full moon during the four days at this period, injury to the corn and all the plants that are in blossom will be the necessary result.” Pliny the Elder Natural History Plin. Nat. 18.103<br />
<br />
Ludi Florae: Great Banquets and Games were in abundance. Romans wore colorful garments and walked around clutching bouquets of flowers and wore wreaths of flowers around their neck or in their hair. They scattered the flowers of lupines, bean and vetch about. Romans attended bawdy plays where prostitutes and female actresses performed naked at the demand of the crowds, cheered and jeered at licentious farces and mimes, attended gladiatorial games and chariot races where chickpeas were thrown to the people and hunted the symbols of fertility; deer (or goats[1]) and hare. The festivities began in the morning with the rituals continuing as Romans danced, drank and surrounded themselves with flowers into the night.<br />
Floralia in ancient times was the quintessential nature festival earning moral judgments from Cato the Younger, Ausonius, Lactantius, and Augustine. However Floralia is recognized as a valuable festival and noted in good regard from Varro, Pliny, Ovid, Juvenal, Persius, Martial, Aulus Gellius and Valerius Maximas. At one time the Floralia was labeled superstitio and discontinued but it was revived again in 173 BCE when violent winds, hail and rain fell destroyed the blossoms and crops. The ancient Romans felt that this was Flora's wrath for neglecting Her festival (Ovid, Fasti, V). Floralia symbolizes the renewal of life.<br />
<br />
Modern Floralia: When I was still living at my Parent’s home fresh cut large purple Lilacs filled our home with the most wonderful scent around the time of the Floralia! Flowers, from my Mother's garden and also from the florist, were given to other family members, friends and placed on the graves of my ancestors. Beginning with Juno, Matronalia, on the kalends of March and honoring the Spring Goddesses such as Venus Mater, to whom I was dedicated, and Ceres, we continued our Spring celebrations honoring Flora. Floralia was special to my mother and we would honor Flora with ritual and offerings of milk and honey every May 1st - the month of my mother's birth- and have a mini- Floralia with family and friends the Sunday afterwards. I continue this tradition today - and like my Father I also incorporated chocolate animals and eggs (which we also got on “Eastre”, sometimes getting a jump on Floralia, so we would not feel so different from others - and on May 1st we would attend a "flower dance" and a Maypole celebration if one was available. This tradition of attending public “flower dances” I have occasionally continued after moving to the south, however when I was on business in Europe there were no lack of "flower dances" and Maypole celebrations. The main feast was held on the first Sunday of Floralia and included roasted Lamb, homemade breads, fresh and roasted spring vegetables, fruits, nuts and a variety of delicious pastries – although now more often than not we go to a restaurant.<br />
<br />
"They also set up a May-pole, drinking and dancing about it many days togaether, inviting the Indean women, for their consorts, dancing and frisking togither, (like so many fairies, or furies rather,) and worse practises. As if they had anew revived & celebrated the feasts of ye Roman Goddess [[Flora]], or ye beasly practieses of ye madd Bacchinalians.” Bradford, William (1856). History of Plymouth. Boston: Little, Brown and Company. pp. 237–238.<br />
Not as “Bacchanalian” as I had been in my youth, I still enjoy the indulgences of Floralia doing my part to keep the festival alive! Continue I the tradition of reading selections from Ovid’s Fasti Liber V to my ancestors’ descendants and adapt an ancient closing prayer into my ritual, personalized with my name in lieu of Ovid’s:<br />
<br />
“Mansit odor; posses scire fuisse deam. Floreat ut toto carmen Nasonis in aevo,sparge, precor, donis pectora nostra tuis.” “A fragrance lingered; you could know a goddess had been there. That Naso’s lay may bloom for aye, O strew, I pray thee, goddess, thy boons upon my breast!” Ovid Fasti (V. 376 - 378)<br />
<br />
The Goddess-Nymph [[Flora]] speaks to Ovidus:<br />
“Forsitan in teneris tantum mea regna coronis esse putes. tangit numen et arva meum. si bene floruerint segetes, erit area dives: si bene floruerit vinea, Bacchus erit; si bene floruerint oleae, nitidissimus annus, pomaque proventum temporis huius habent. flore semel laeso pereunt viciaeque fabaeque, et pereunt lentes, advena Nile, tuae. vina quoque in magnis operose condita cellis florent, et nebulae dolia summa tegunt. mella meum munus: volucres ego mella daturas ad violam et cytisos et thyma cana voco.' (nos quoque idem facimus tunc, cum iuvenalibus annis luxuriant animi, corporaque ipsa vigent.)” <br />
<br />
“Perhaps you may think that I am queen only of dainty garlands; but my divinity has to do also with the tilled fields. If the crops have blossomed well, the threshing-floor will be piled high; if the vines have blossomed well, there will be wine; if the olive-trees have blossomed well, most buxom will be the year; and the fruitage will be according to the time of blossoming. If once the blossom is nipped, the vetches and beans wither, and thy lentils, O Nile that comest from afar, do likewise wither. Wines also bloom, laboriously stored in great cellars, and a scum covers their surface in the jars. Honey is my gift. ‘Tis I who call the winged creatures, which yield honey, to the violet, and the clover, and the grey thyme. (‘Tis I, too, who discharge the same function when in youthful years spirits run riot and bodies are robust.)” Ovid Fasti (V. 261 – 274)</div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
In closing, a reminder to honor the Gods from Flora herself:<br />
<br />
“'nos quoque tangit honor: festis gaudemus et aris,<br />
:turbaque caelestes ambitiosa sumus.<br />
saepe deos aliquis peccando fecit iniquos,<br />
:et pro delictis hostia blanda fuit; <br />
saepe Iovem vidi, cum iam sua mittere vellet<br />
:fulmina, ture dato sustinuisse manum.<br />
at si neglegimur, magnis iniuria poenis<br />
:solvitur, et iustum praeterit ira modum.”<br />
“We, too, are touched by honor; we delight in festivals and altars; we heavenly beings are a greedy gang. Often by sinning has a man disposed the gods against him, and a sacrificial victim has been a sop for crimes. Often have I seen Jupiter, when he was just about to launch his thunderbolts, hold his hand on the receipt of incense. But if we are neglected, we avenge the wrong by heavenly penalties, and our wrath exceeds just bounds.”<br />
Ovid Fasti (V. 297 – 304)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[1] Ovid refers to deer as 1) Ovid (Ovid: Fasti) refers to deer as “capreae” while some translate this to “row deer (pl)” others translate it to “goats” as “caprae” is plural for female goats and “capreae” is the ancient name for the goat abundant Isle of Capri. Since this festival was not of wild vegetation and wild animals it might stand to reason that the animals were domesticated rabbits and goats rather than rabbits and deer as deer cannot truly be domesticated although they can, with difficulty, be penned but this is mainly a modern practice. Rabbits, while a general symbol of fertility are also specifically a symbol of female fertility and goats are a symbol of male fertility. Deer on the other hand are also a general symbol of fertility but they too are also specifically a female symbol of fertility. As symbols of fertility, the rabbit and the goat would be symbolic of a fertile union.<br />

'''Flora tells her tale to Ovidus:'''<br />
<br />
<br />
[183] “Come, Mother of Flowers, that we may honour thee with merry games; last month I put off giving thee thy due. Thou dost being in April and passest into the time of May; the one month claims thee as it flies, the other as it comes. Since the borders of the months are thine and appertain to thee, either of the two is a fitting time to sing thy praises. The games of the circus and the victor’s palm, acclaimed by the spectators, fall in this month; let my song run side by side with the shows in the circus. Tell me thyself who thou art; the opinion of men is fallacious; thou wilt be the best voucher of thine own name.”<br />
<br />
<br />
[193] So I spoke, and the goddess answered my question thus, and while she spoke, her lips breathed vernal roses: “I who now am called Flora was formerly Chloris: a Greek letter of my name is corrupted in the Latin speech. Chloris I was, a nymph of the happy fields where, as you have heard, dwelt fortunate men of old. Modesty shrinks from describing my figure; but it procured the hand of a god for my mother’s daughter. ‘Twas spring, and I was roaming; Zephyr caught sight of me: I retired; he pursued and I fled; but he was the stronger, and Boreas had given his brother full right of rape by daring to carry off the prize from the house of Erechtheus. However, he made amends for his violence by giving me the name of bride, and in my marriage-bed I have naught to complain of. I enjoy perpetual spring; most buxom is the year ever; ever the tree is clothed with leaves, the ground with pasture. In the fields that are my dower, I have a fruitful garden, fanned by the breeze and watered by a spring of running water. This garden my husband filled with noble flowers and said, ‘Goddess, be queen of flowers.’ Oft did I wish to count the colours in the beds, but could not; the number was past counting. Soon as the dewy rime is shaken from the leaves, and the varied foliage is warmed by the sunbeams, the Hours assemble, clad in dappled weeds, and cull my gifts in light baskets. Straightway the Graces draw near, and twine garlands and wreaths to bind their heavenly hair. I was the first to scatter new seeds among the countless peoples; till then the earth had been of but one colour. I was the first to make a flower out of Therapnaean blood, and on its petals the lament remains inscribed. Thou, too, Narcissus, hast a name in the trim gardens, unhappy thou in that thou hadst not a double of thyself.26 What need to tell of Crocus, and Attis, and the son of Cinyras, from whose wounds by my art doth beauty spring?<br />
<br />
<br />
[229] Mars, too, was brought to birth my contrivance; perhaps you do not know it, and I pray that Jupiter, who thus far knows it not, may never know it. Holy Juno grieved that Jupiter had not needed her services when Minerva was born without a mother. She went to complain of her husband’s doings to Ocean; tired by the journey, she halted at my door. As soon as I set eyes on her, ‘What brings thee here,’ I said, ‘daughter of Saturn?’ She set forth her journey’s goal, adding its reason. I consoled her with friendly words. ‘My grief,’ quoth she, ‘is not to be assuaged with words. If Jupiter has become a father without the use of a wife, and unites both titles in his single person, why should I despair of becoming a mother without a husband, and of bringing forth without contact with a man, always supposing that I am chaste? I will try all the drugs in the wide world, and I will explore the seas and the depths of Tartarus.’ Her speech would have flowed on, but on my face there was a sudden look of doubt. ‘Thou seemest, nymph,’ said she, ‘the to have some power to help me.’ Thrice did I wish to promise help, but thrice my tongue was tied: the anger of great Jupiter filled me with fear. ‘Help me, I pray,’ she said, ‘the helper’s name will be kept secret, and I will call on the divinity of the Stygian water to be my witness.31’ ‘Thy wish,’ quoth I, ‘will be accomplished by a flower that was sent me from the fields of Olenus. It is the only flower of the kind in my garden.’ He who gave it me said, ‘Touch also with this a barren heifer; she will be a mother.’ I touched, and without delay she was a mother. Straightway I plucked with my thumb the clinging flower and touched Juno, and she conceived when it touched her bosom. And now being with child, she passed to Thrace and left the shores of the Propontis; her wish was granted, and Mars was born. In memory of the birth he owed to me, he said, ‘Do thou also have a place in the city of Romulus.’<br />
<br />
<br />
[261] “Perhaps you may think that I am queen only of dainty garlands; but my divinity has to do also with the tilled fields. If the crops have blossomed well, the threshing-floor will be piled high; if the vines have blossomed well, there will be wine; if the olive-trees have blossomed well, most buxom will be the year; and the fruitage will be according to the time of blossoming. If once the blossom is nipped, the vetches and beans wither, and thy lentils, O Nile that comest from afar, do likewise wither. Wines also bloom, laboriously stored in great cellars, and a scum covers their surface in the jars. Honey is my gift. ‘Tis I who call the winged creatures, which yield honey, to the violet, and the clover, and the grey thyme. [‘Tis I, too, who discharge the same function when in youthful years spirits run riot and bodies are robust.]”<br />
<br />
<br />
[275] I silently admired her as she spoke thus. But she said, “Thou art free to learn the answers to any questions thou mayest put.” “Say, goddess,” I replied, “what is the origin of the games.” Scarce had I ended when she answered me. “The other instruments of luxury were not yet in vogue: the rich man owned either cattle or broad lands; hence came the name for rich, and hence the name for money itself.32 But already some amassed wealth from unlawful sources: it had become a custom to graze the public pastures, the thing was suffered long, and no penalty was exacted. Common folk had no champion to protect their share in public property; and at last it was deemed the sign of a poor spirit in a man to graze his cattle on his own land. Such licence was brought to the notice of the plebeian aediles, the Publicii33; till then men’s hearts had failed them. The case was tried before the people: the guilty were fined: the champions were praised for their public spirit. Part of the fine was given to me; and the winners of the suit instituted new games with great applause. With part of the fine they contracted for making a way up the slope, which then was a steep rock: now it is a serviceable road, and they call it the Publician road.” 34<br />
<br />
<br />
[295] I had thought that the shows were annual; the goddess denied it and added to her former discourse a second speech. “We, too, are touched by honour; we delight in festivals and altars; we heavenly beings are a greedy gang. Often by sinning has a man disposed the gods against him, and a sacrificial victim has been a sop for crimes. Often have I seen Jupiter, when he was just about to launch his thunderbolts, hold his hand on the receipt of incense. But if we are neglected, we avenge the wrong by heavenly penalties, and our wrath exceeds just bounds. Remember Thestiades: he was burnt by flames afar; the reason was that no fire blazed on Phoebe’s altar. Remember Tantalides: the same goddess detained the fleet; she a virgin, yet she twice avenged her slighted hearths.37 Unhappy Hippolytus, fain wouldst thou have worshipped Dione39 when thy scared steeds were rending thee asunder! ‘Twere long to tell of cases of forgetfulness redressed by forfeitures. I myself was once neglected by the Roman senate. What was I to do? By what could I show my resentment? What punishment exact for the slight put on me? In my gloom I relinquished my office. I guarded no the countryside, and the fruitful garden was naught to me. The lilies had dropped; you might see the violets withering, and the tendrils of the crimson saffron languishing. Often Zephry said to me, ‘Spoil not thine own dowry.’ But my dowry was worthless in my sight. The olive-trees were in blossom; the wanton winds blighted them: the crops were in blossom; the crop was blasted by the hail: the vines were promising; the sky grew black under the south wind, and the leaves were shaken down by a sudden shower. I did not will it so, nor am I cruel in my anger; but I did not care to ward of these ills. The senate assembled and voted an annual festival to my divinity if the year should prove fruitful. I accepted the vow. The consuls Laenas and Postumius celebrated the games which had been vowed to me.”<br />
<br />
<br />
[331] I was about to ask why these games are marked by greater wantonness and broader jests; but it occurred to me that the divinity is not strait-laced, and that the gifts she brings lend themselves to delights. The brows of wassailers are wreathed with stitched garlands, and the polished table is buried under a shower of roses. Maudlin the guest dances, his hair bound with linden bark, and all unwitting plies the tipsy art. Maudlin the lover sings at the hard threshold of his lady fair: soft garlands crown his perfumed locks. No serious business does he do whose brow is garlanded; no water of the running brook is quaffed by such as twine their hair with flowers: so long s they stream, Achelous, was dashed with no juice of grapes, none cared to pluck the rose. Bacchus loves flowers; that he delights in a floral crown, you may know from Ariadne’s clustered stars. Rakish stage fits Flora well; she is not, believe me she is not, to be counted among your buskined goddesses. The reason why a crowd of drabs frequents these games is not hard to discover. She is none of your glum, none of your high-flown ones: she wishes her rites to be open to the common herd; and she warns us to use life’s flower, while it still blooms: for the thorn, she reminds us, is flouted when the roses have fallen away.<br />
<br />
[355] But why is it that whereas white robes are given out at the festival of Ceres, Flora is neatly clad in attire of many colours? Is it because the harvest whitens when the ears are ripe, but flowers are of every hue and every shape? She nodded assent and at he motion of her tresses the flowers dropped own, as falls the rose cast by a hand upon a table.<br />
<br />
<br />
[361] There yet remained the lights, the reason whereof escaped me; when the goddess thus removed my doubts: “Lights are thought to befit my days either because the fields do glow with purple flowers; or because neither flowers nor flames are of a dull colour, and the splendour of both attracts the eye; or because nocturnal licence befits my revels. The third reason comes nearest the truth.”<br />
<br />
<br />
[369] “There is yet a small matter about which it remains, with thy leave, to put a question.” “thou hast my leave.” Said she. “Why, instead of Libyan lionesses, are unwarlike roes and shy hares pent in thy nets43?” She replied that her province was not woods, but gardens and fields, where no fierce beast may come.<br />
<br />
<br />
[375] Her tale was ended, and she vanished into thin air. A fragrance lingered; you could know a goddess had been there. That Naso’s lay may bloom for aye, O strew, I pray thee, goddess, thy boons upon my breast!<br />

<br />
A temple was built to honor the goddess of flowers and blossoming plants, Flora. In 263 BCE it was dedicated on April 27 (April 28th according to Ovidus) to May 2nd or 3rd to the Goddess Flora and the festival of Floralia was first declared to solicit her protection, propitiousness of crops and flowers in gardens and fields and wealth. Favonius, the God of the West Wind had authority over plants and flowers and upon taking by force, the Nymph, Flora, into marriage He gifted that dominion to the Goddess as amends. Flora was honored as a fertility Goddess by the Sabines an old Italic tribe of the Apennines before the founding of Rome. The Goddess can avert the fungal disease of plants, particularly wheat, known as rust that causes iron colored growths.<br />

“Itaque iidem floralia iiii kal. easdem instituerunt urbis anno dxvi ex oraculis sibyllae, ut omnia bene deflorescerent. hunc diem Varro determinat sole tauri partem xiiii obtinente. ergo si in hoc quadriduum inciderit plenilunium, fruges et omnia, quae florebunt, laedi necesse erit.”<br />
“The same people also, in the year of the City 513, instituted the Floralia, a festival held upon the fourth before the calends of May, in accordance with the oracular injunctions of the Sibyl, to secure a favorable season for the blossoms and flowers. Varro fixes this day as the time at which the sun enters the fourteenth degree of Taurus. [April 28] If there should happen to be a full moon during the four days at this period, injury to the corn and all the plants that are in blossom will be the necessary result.”<br />

Ludi Florae: Great Banquets and Games were in abundance. Romans wore colorful garments and walked around clutching bouquets of flowers and wore wreaths of flowers around their neck or in their hair. They scattered the flowers of lupines, bean and vetch about. Romans attended bawdy plays where prostitutes and female actresses performed naked at the demand of the crowds, cheered and jeered at licentious farces and mimes, attended gladiatorial games and chariot races where chickpeas were thrown to the people and hunted the symbols of fertility; deer (or goats[1]) and hare. The festivities began in the morning with the rituals continuing as Romans danced, drank and surrounded themselves with flowers into the night.<br />
<br />
[[Floralia]] in ancient times was the quintessential nature festival earning moral judgments from Cato the Younger, Ausonius, Lactantius, and Augustine. However Floralia is recognized as a valuable festival and noted in good regard from Varro, Pliny, Ovid, Juvenal, Persius, Martial, Aulus Gellius and Valerius Maximas. At one time the Floralia was labeled superstitio and discontinued but it was revived again in 173 BCE when violent winds, hail and rain fell destroyed the blossoms and crops. The ancient Romans felt that this was Flora's wrath for neglecting Her festival (Ovid, Fasti, V). Floralia symbolizes the renewal of life.<br />

<br />
<br />
Modern [[Floralia]]: When I was still living at my Parent’s home fresh cut large purple Lilacs filled our home with the most wonderful scent around the time of the Floralia! Flowers, from my Mother's garden and also from the florist, were given to other family members, friends and placed on the graves of my ancestors. Beginning with Juno, Matronalia, on the kalends of March and honoring the Spring Goddesses such as Venus Mater, to whom I was dedicated, and Ceres, we continued our Spring celebrations honoring Flora. Floralia was special to my mother and we would honor Flora with ritual and offerings of milk and honey every May 1st - the month of my mother's birth- and have a mini- Floralia with family and friends the Sunday afterwards. I continue this tradition today - and like my Father I also incorporated chocolate animals and eggs (which we also got on “Eastre”, sometimes getting a jump on Floralia, so we would not feel so different from others - and on May 1st we would attend a "flower dance" and a Maypole celebration if one was available. This tradition of attending public “flower dances” I have occasionally continued after moving to the south, however when I was on business in Europe there were no lack of "flower dances" and Maypole celebrations. The main feast was held on the first Sunday of Floralia and included roasted Lamb, homemade breads, fresh and roasted spring vegetables, fruits, nuts and a variety of delicious pastries – although now more often than not we go to a restaurant.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"They also set up a May-pole, drinking and dancing about it many days togaether, inviting the Indean women, for their consorts, dancing and frisking togither, (like so many fairies, or furies rather,) and worse practises. As if they had anew revived & celebrated the feasts of ye Roman Goddess Flora, or ye beasly practieses of ye madd Bacchinalians.” <br />
Bradford, William (1856). History of Plymouth. Boston: Little, Brown and Company. pp. 237–238.<br />
<br />
Not as “Bacchanalian” as I had been in my youth, I still enjoy the indulgences of Floralia doing my part to keep the festival alive! Continue I the tradition of reading selections from Ovid’s Fasti Liber V to my ancestors’ descendants and adapt an ancient closing prayer into my ritual, personalized with my name in lieu of Ovid’s:<br />
<br />
“Mansit odor; posses scire fuisse deam. Floreat ut toto carmen Nasonis in aevo,sparge, precor, donis pectora nostra tuis.”<br />
“A fragrance lingered; you could know a goddess had been there. That Naso’s lay may bloom for aye, O strew, I pray thee, goddess, thy boons upon my breast!”<br />
Ovid Fasti (V. 376 - 378)<br />
<br />
The Goddess-Nymph speaks to Ovidus:<br />
<br />
“Forsitan in teneris tantum mea regna coronis<br />
esse putes. tangit numen et arva meum.<br />
si bene floruerint segetes, erit area dives:<br />
si bene floruerit vinea, Bacchus erit;<br />
si bene floruerint oleae, nitidissimus annus, <br />
pomaque proventum temporis huius habent.<br />
flore semel laeso pereunt viciaeque fabaeque,<br />
et pereunt lentes, advena Nile, tuae.<br />
vina quoque in magnis operose condita cellis<br />
florent, et nebulae dolia summa tegunt. <br />
mella meum munus: volucres ego mella daturas<br />
ad violam et cytisos et thyma cana voco.'<br />
(nos quoque idem facimus tunc, cum iuvenalibus annis<br />
luxuriant animi, corporaque ipsa vigent.)”<br />
“Perhaps you may think that I am queen only of dainty garlands; but my divinity has to do also with the tilled fields. If the crops have blossomed well, the threshing-floor will be piled high; if the vines have blossomed well, there will be wine; if the olive-trees have blossomed well, most buxom will be the year; and the fruitage will be according to the time of blossoming. If once the blossom is nipped, the vetches and beans wither, and thy lentils, O Nile that comest from afar, do likewise wither. Wines also bloom, laboriously stored in great cellars, and a scum covers their surface in the jars. Honey is my gift. ‘Tis I who call the winged creatures, which yield honey, to the violet, and the clover, and the grey thyme. (‘Tis I, too, who discharge the same function when in youthful years spirits run riot and bodies are robust.)”<br />
Ovid Fasti (V. 261 – 274)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In closing, a reminder to honor the Gods from Flora herself:<br />
<br />
“'nos quoque tangit honor: festis gaudemus et aris,<br />
:turbaque caelestes ambitiosa sumus.<br />
saepe deos aliquis peccando fecit iniquos,<br />
:et pro delictis hostia blanda fuit; <br />
saepe Iovem vidi, cum iam sua mittere vellet<br />
:fulmina, ture dato sustinuisse manum.<br />
at si neglegimur, magnis iniuria poenis<br />
:solvitur, et iustum praeterit ira modum.”<br />
“We, too, are touched by honor; we delight in festivals and altars; we heavenly beings are a greedy gang. Often by sinning has a man disposed the gods against him, and a sacrificial victim has been a sop for crimes. Often have I seen Jupiter, when he was just about to launch his thunderbolts, hold his hand on the receipt of incense. But if we are neglected, we avenge the wrong by heavenly penalties, and our wrath exceeds just bounds.”<br />
Ovid Fasti (V. 297 – 304)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[1] Ovid refers to deer as 1) Ovid (Ovid: Fasti) refers to deer as “capreae” while some translate this to “row deer (pl)” others translate it to “goats” as “caprae” is plural for female goats and “capreae” is the ancient name for the goat abundant Isle of Capri. Since this festival was not of wild vegetation and wild animals it might stand to reason that the animals were domesticated rabbits and goats rather than rabbits and deer as deer cannot truly be domesticated although they can, with difficulty, be penned but this is mainly a modern practice. Rabbits, while a general symbol of fertility are also specifically a symbol of female fertility and goats are a symbol of male fertility. Deer on the other hand are also a general symbol of fertility but they too are also specifically a female symbol of fertility. As symbols of fertility, the rabbit and the goat would be symbolic of a fertile union.<br />

<br />
'''Flora tells her tale to Ovidus:'''<br />
<br />
<br />
[183] “Come, Mother of Flowers, that we may honour thee with merry games; last month I put off giving thee thy due. Thou dost being in April and passest into the time of May; the one month claims thee as it flies, the other as it comes. Since the borders of the months are thine and appertain to thee, either of the two is a fitting time to sing thy praises. The games of the circus and the victor’s palm, acclaimed by the spectators, fall in this month; let my song run side by side with the shows in the circus. Tell me thyself who thou art; the opinion of men is fallacious; thou wilt be the best voucher of thine own name.”<br />
<br />
<br />
[193] So I spoke, and the goddess answered my question thus, and while she spoke, her lips breathed vernal roses: “I who now am called Flora was formerly Chloris: a Greek letter of my name is corrupted in the Latin speech. Chloris I was, a nymph of the happy fields where, as you have heard, dwelt fortunate men of old. Modesty shrinks from describing my figure; but it procured the hand of a god for my mother’s daughter. ‘Twas spring, and I was roaming; Zephyr caught sight of me: I retired; he pursued and I fled; but he was the stronger, and Boreas had given his brother full right of rape by daring to carry off the prize from the house of Erechtheus. However, he made amends for his violence by giving me the name of bride, and in my marriage-bed I have naught to complain of. I enjoy perpetual spring; most buxom is the year ever; ever the tree is clothed with leaves, the ground with pasture. In the fields that are my dower, I have a fruitful garden, fanned by the breeze and watered by a spring of running water. This garden my husband filled with noble flowers and said, ‘Goddess, be queen of flowers.’ Oft did I wish to count the colours in the beds, but could not; the number was past counting. Soon as the dewy rime is shaken from the leaves, and the varied foliage is warmed by the sunbeams, the Hours assemble, clad in dappled weeds, and cull my gifts in light baskets. Straightway the Graces draw near, and twine garlands and wreaths to bind their heavenly hair. I was the first to scatter new seeds among the countless peoples; till then the earth had been of but one colour. I was the first to make a flower out of Therapnaean blood, and on its petals the lament remains inscribed. Thou, too, Narcissus, hast a name in the trim gardens, unhappy thou in that thou hadst not a double of thyself.26 What need to tell of Crocus, and Attis, and the son of Cinyras, from whose wounds by my art doth beauty spring?<br />
<br />
<br />
[229] Mars, too, was brought to birth my contrivance; perhaps you do not know it, and I pray that Jupiter, who thus far knows it not, may never know it. Holy Juno grieved that Jupiter had not needed her services when Minerva was born without a mother. She went to complain of her husband’s doings to Ocean; tired by the journey, she halted at my door. As soon as I set eyes on her, ‘What brings thee here,’ I said, ‘daughter of Saturn?’ She set forth her journey’s goal, adding its reason. I consoled her with friendly words. ‘My grief,’ quoth she, ‘is not to be assuaged with words. If Jupiter has become a father without the use of a wife, and unites both titles in his single person, why should I despair of becoming a mother without a husband, and of bringing forth without contact with a man, always supposing that I am chaste? I will try all the drugs in the wide world, and I will explore the seas and the depths of Tartarus.’ Her speech would have flowed on, but on my face there was a sudden look of doubt. ‘Thou seemest, nymph,’ said she, ‘the to have some power to help me.’ Thrice did I wish to promise help, but thrice my tongue was tied: the anger of great Jupiter filled me with fear. ‘Help me, I pray,’ she said, ‘the helper’s name will be kept secret, and I will call on the divinity of the Stygian water to be my witness.31’ ‘Thy wish,’ quoth I, ‘will be accomplished by a flower that was sent me from the fields of Olenus. It is the only flower of the kind in my garden.’ He who gave it me said, ‘Touch also with this a barren heifer; she will be a mother.’ I touched, and without delay she was a mother. Straightway I plucked with my thumb the clinging flower and touched Juno, and she conceived when it touched her bosom. And now being with child, she passed to Thrace and left the shores of the Propontis; her wish was granted, and Mars was born. In memory of the birth he owed to me, he said, ‘Do thou also have a place in the city of Romulus.’<br />
<br />
<br />
[261] “Perhaps you may think that I am queen only of dainty garlands; but my divinity has to do also with the tilled fields. If the crops have blossomed well, the threshing-floor will be piled high; if the vines have blossomed well, there will be wine; if the olive-trees have blossomed well, most buxom will be the year; and the fruitage will be according to the time of blossoming. If once the blossom is nipped, the vetches and beans wither, and thy lentils, O Nile that comest from afar, do likewise wither. Wines also bloom, laboriously stored in great cellars, and a scum covers their surface in the jars. Honey is my gift. ‘Tis I who call the winged creatures, which yield honey, to the violet, and the clover, and the grey thyme. [‘Tis I, too, who discharge the same function when in youthful years spirits run riot and bodies are robust.]”<br />
<br />
<br />
[275] I silently admired her as she spoke thus. But she said, “Thou art free to learn the answers to any questions thou mayest put.” “Say, goddess,” I replied, “what is the origin of the games.” Scarce had I ended when she answered me. “The other instruments of luxury were not yet in vogue: the rich man owned either cattle or broad lands; hence came the name for rich, and hence the name for money itself.32 But already some amassed wealth from unlawful sources: it had become a custom to graze the public pastures, the thing was suffered long, and no penalty was exacted. Common folk had no champion to protect their share in public property; and at last it was deemed the sign of a poor spirit in a man to graze his cattle on his own land. Such licence was brought to the notice of the plebeian aediles, the Publicii33; till then men’s hearts had failed them. The case was tried before the people: the guilty were fined: the champions were praised for their public spirit. Part of the fine was given to me; and the winners of the suit instituted new games with great applause. With part of the fine they contracted for making a way up the slope, which then was a steep rock: now it is a serviceable road, and they call it the Publician road.” 34<br />
<br />
<br />
[295] I had thought that the shows were annual; the goddess denied it and added to her former discourse a second speech. “We, too, are touched by honour; we delight in festivals and altars; we heavenly beings are a greedy gang. Often by sinning has a man disposed the gods against him, and a sacrificial victim has been a sop for crimes. Often have I seen Jupiter, when he was just about to launch his thunderbolts, hold his hand on the receipt of incense. But if we are neglected, we avenge the wrong by heavenly penalties, and our wrath exceeds just bounds. Remember Thestiades: he was burnt by flames afar; the reason was that no fire blazed on Phoebe’s altar. Remember Tantalides: the same goddess detained the fleet; she a virgin, yet she twice avenged her slighted hearths.37 Unhappy Hippolytus, fain wouldst thou have worshipped Dione39 when thy scared steeds were rending thee asunder! ‘Twere long to tell of cases of forgetfulness redressed by forfeitures. I myself was once neglected by the Roman senate. What was I to do? By what could I show my resentment? What punishment exact for the slight put on me? In my gloom I relinquished my office. I guarded no the countryside, and the fruitful garden was naught to me. The lilies had dropped; you might see the violets withering, and the tendrils of the crimson saffron languishing. Often Zephry said to me, ‘Spoil not thine own dowry.’ But my dowry was worthless in my sight. The olive-trees were in blossom; the wanton winds blighted them: the crops were in blossom; the crop was blasted by the hail: the vines were promising; the sky grew black under the south wind, and the leaves were shaken down by a sudden shower. I did not will it so, nor am I cruel in my anger; but I did not care to ward of these ills. The senate assembled and voted an annual festival to my divinity if the year should prove fruitful. I accepted the vow. The consuls Laenas and Postumius celebrated the games which had been vowed to me.”<br />
<br />
<br />
[331] I was about to ask why these games are marked by greater wantonness and broader jests; but it occurred to me that the divinity is not strait-laced, and that the gifts she brings lend themselves to delights. The brows of wassailers are wreathed with stitched garlands, and the polished table is buried under a shower of roses. Maudlin the guest dances, his hair bound with linden bark, and all unwitting plies the tipsy art. Maudlin the lover sings at the hard threshold of his lady fair: soft garlands crown his perfumed locks. No serious business does he do whose brow is garlanded; no water of the running brook is quaffed by such as twine their hair with flowers: so long s they stream, Achelous, was dashed with no juice of grapes, none cared to pluck the rose. Bacchus loves flowers; that he delights in a floral crown, you may know from Ariadne’s clustered stars. Rakish stage fits Flora well; she is not, believe me she is not, to be counted among your buskined goddesses. The reason why a crowd of drabs frequents these games is not hard to discover. She is none of your glum, none of your high-flown ones: she wishes her rites to be open to the common herd; and she warns us to use life’s flower, while it still blooms: for the thorn, she reminds us, is flouted when the roses have fallen away.<br />
<br />
[355] But why is it that whereas white robes are given out at the festival of Ceres, Flora is neatly clad in attire of many colours? Is it because the harvest whitens when the ears are ripe, but flowers are of every hue and every shape? She nodded assent and at he motion of her tresses the flowers dropped own, as falls the rose cast by a hand upon a table.<br />
<br />
<br />
[361] There yet remained the lights, the reason whereof escaped me; when the goddess thus removed my doubts: “Lights are thought to befit my days either because the fields do glow with purple flowers; or because neither flowers nor flames are of a dull colour, and the splendour of both attracts the eye; or because nocturnal licence befits my revels. The third reason comes nearest the truth.”<br />
<br />
<br />
[369] “There is yet a small matter about which it remains, with thy leave, to put a question.” “thou hast my leave.” Said she. “Why, instead of Libyan lionesses, are unwarlike roes and shy hares pent in thy nets43?” She replied that her province was not woods, but gardens and fields, where no fierce beast may come.<br />
<br />
<br />
[375] Her tale was ended, and she vanished into thin air. A fragrance lingered; you could know a goddess had been there. That Naso’s lay may bloom for aye, O strew, I pray thee, goddess, thy boons upon my breast!<br />

“We, too, are touched by honor; we delight in festivals and altars; we heavenly beings are a greedy gang. Often by sinning has a man disposed the gods against him, and a sacrificial victim has been a sop for crimes.

[1] Ovid refers to deer as 1) Ovid (Ovid: Fasti) refers to deer as “capreae” while some translate this to “row deer (pl)” others translate it to “goats” as “caprae” is plural for female goats and “capreae” is the ancient name for the goat abundant Isle of Capri. Since this festival was not of wild vegetation and wild animals it might stand to reason that the animals were domesticated rabbits and goats rather than rabbits and deer as deer cannot truly be domesticated although they can, with difficulty, be penned but this is mainly a modern practice. Rabbits, while a general symbol of fertility are also specifically a symbol of female fertility and goats are a symbol of male fertility. Deer on the other hand are also a general symbol of fertility but they too are also specifically a female symbol of fertility. As symbols of fertility, the rabbit and the goat would be symbolic of a fertile union.<br />

'''Flora''' is the roman godess of flowers and spring. Her festival the Floralia was held in April or early May and symbolized the renewal of the cycle of life, marked with dancing, drinking, and flowers. She is the wife of [[Favonius]].<br />
<br />
Floralia, The Goddess Flora April 27 - May 3<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
“Incipis Aprili, transis in tempora Maii: <br />
alter te fugiens, cum venit alter habet.<br />
cum tua sint cedantque tibi confinia mensum,<br />
convenit in laudes ille vel ille tuas.<br />
Circus in hunc exit clamataque palma theatris;<br />
hoc quoque cum Circi munere carmen eat.”<br />
"You start in April and cross to the time of May<br />
One has you as it leaves, one as it comes<br />
Since the edges of these months are yours and defer<br />
To you, either of them suits your praises.<br />
The Circus continues and the theatre's lauded palm,<br />
Let this song, too, join the Circus spectacle."<br />
Ovid, Fasti (V.185-190)<br />
<br />
“Mater, ades, florum, ludis celebranda iocosis”<br />
“Come, Mother of Flowers, that we may honor thee with merry games”<br />
Ovid, Fasti (V.183)<br />
<br />
Flora: A temple was built to honor the goddess of flowers and blossoming plants, Flora. In 263 BCE it was dedicated on April 27 (April 28th according to Ovidus) to May 2nd or 3rd to the Goddess Flora and the festival of Floralia was first declared to solicit her protection, propitiousness of crops and flowers in gardens and fields and wealth. Favonius, the God of the West Wind had authority over plants and flowers and upon taking by force, the Nymph, Flora, into marriage He gifted that dominion to the Goddess as amends. Flora was honored as a fertility Goddess by the Sabines an old Italic tribe of the Apennines before the founding of Rome. The Goddess can avert the fungal disease of plants, particularly wheat, known as rust that causes iron colored growths.<br />
<br />
“Itaque iidem floralia iiii kal. easdem instituerunt urbis anno dxvi ex oraculis sibyllae, ut omnia bene deflorescerent. hunc diem Varro determinat sole tauri partem xiiii obtinente. ergo si in hoc quadriduum inciderit plenilunium, fruges et omnia, quae florebunt, laedi necesse erit.”<br />
“The same people also, in the year of the City 513, instituted the Floralia, a festival held upon the fourth before the calends of May, in accordance with the oracular injunctions of the Sibyl, to secure a favorable season for the blossoms and flowers. Varro fixes this day as the time at which the sun enters the fourteenth degree of Taurus. [April 28] If there should happen to be a full moon during the four days at this period, injury to the corn and all the plants that are in blossom will be the necessary result.”<br />
Pliny the Elder Natural History Plin. Nat. 18.103<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Ludi Florae: Great Banquets and Games were in abundance. Romans wore colorful garments and walked around clutching bouquets of flowers and wore wreaths of flowers around their neck or in their hair. They scattered the flowers of lupines, bean and vetch about. Romans attended bawdy plays where prostitutes and female actresses performed naked at the demand of the crowds, cheered and jeered at licentious farces and mimes, attended gladiatorial games and chariot races where chickpeas were thrown to the people and hunted the symbols of fertility; deer (or goats[1]) and hare. The festivities began in the morning with the rituals continuing as Romans danced, drank and surrounded themselves with flowers into the night.<br />
<br />
Floralia in ancient times was the quintessential nature festival earning moral judgments from Cato the Younger, Ausonius, Lactantius, and Augustine. However Floralia is recognized as a valuable festival and noted in good regard from Varro, Pliny, Ovid, Juvenal, Persius, Martial, Aulus Gellius and Valerius Maximas. At one time the Floralia was labeled superstitio and discontinued but it was revived again in 173 BCE when violent winds, hail and rain fell destroyed the blossoms and crops. The ancient Romans felt that this was Flora's wrath for neglecting Her festival (Ovid, Fasti, V). Floralia symbolizes the renewal of life.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Modern Floralia: When I was still living at my Parent’s home fresh cut large purple Lilacs filled our home with the most wonderful scent around the time of the Floralia! Flowers, from my Mother's garden and also from the florist, were given to other family members, friends and placed on the graves of my ancestors. Beginning with Juno, Matronalia, on the kalends of March and honoring the Spring Goddesses such as Venus Mater, to whom I was dedicated, and Ceres, we continued our Spring celebrations honoring Flora. Floralia was special to my mother and we would honor Flora with ritual and offerings of milk and honey every May 1st - the month of my mother's birth- and have a mini- Floralia with family and friends the Sunday afterwards. I continue this tradition today - and like my Father I also incorporated chocolate animals and eggs (which we also got on “Eastre”, sometimes getting a jump on Floralia, so we would not feel so different from others - and on May 1st we would attend a "flower dance" and a Maypole celebration if one was available. This tradition of attending public “flower dances” I have occasionally continued after moving to the south, however when I was on business in Europe there were no lack of "flower dances" and Maypole celebrations. The main feast was held on the first Sunday of Floralia and included roasted Lamb, homemade breads, fresh and roasted spring vegetables, fruits, nuts and a variety of delicious pastries – although now more often than not we go to a restaurant.<br />
<br />
"They also set up a May-pole, drinking and dancing about it many days togaether, inviting the Indean women, for their consorts, dancing and frisking togither, (like so many fairies, or furies rather,) and worse practises. As if they had anew revived & celebrated the feasts of ye Roman Goddess Flora, or ye beasly practieses of ye madd Bacchinalians.” <br />
Bradford, William (1856). History of Plymouth. Boston: Little, Brown and Company. pp. 237–238.<br />
<br />
Not as “Bacchanalian” as I had been in my youth, I still enjoy the indulgences of Floralia doing my part to keep the festival alive! Continue I the tradition of reading selections from Ovid’s Fasti Liber V to my ancestors’ descendants and adapt an ancient closing prayer into my ritual, personalized with my name in lieu of Ovid’s:<br />
<br />
“Mansit odor; posses scire fuisse deam. Floreat ut toto carmen Nasonis in aevo,sparge, precor, donis pectora nostra tuis.”<br />
“A fragrance lingered; you could know a goddess had been there. That Naso’s lay may bloom for aye, O strew, I pray thee, goddess, thy boons upon my breast!”<br />
Ovid Fasti (V. 376 - 378)<br />
<br />
The Goddess-Nymph speaks to Ovidus:<br />
<br />
“Forsitan in teneris tantum mea regna coronis<br />
esse putes. tangit numen et arva meum.<br />
si bene floruerint segetes, erit area dives:<br />
si bene floruerit vinea, Bacchus erit;<br />
si bene floruerint oleae, nitidissimus annus, <br />
pomaque proventum temporis huius habent.<br />
flore semel laeso pereunt viciaeque fabaeque,<br />
et pereunt lentes, advena Nile, tuae.<br />
vina quoque in magnis operose condita cellis<br />
florent, et nebulae dolia summa tegunt. <br />
mella meum munus: volucres ego mella daturas<br />
ad violam et cytisos et thyma cana voco.'<br />
(nos quoque idem facimus tunc, cum iuvenalibus annis<br />
luxuriant animi, corporaque ipsa vigent.)”<br />
“Perhaps you may think that I am queen only of dainty garlands; but my divinity has to do also with the tilled fields. If the crops have blossomed well, the threshing-floor will be piled high; if the vines have blossomed well, there will be wine; if the olive-trees have blossomed well, most buxom will be the year; and the fruitage will be according to the time of blossoming. If once the blossom is nipped, the vetches and beans wither, and thy lentils, O Nile that comest from afar, do likewise wither. Wines also bloom, laboriously stored in great cellars, and a scum covers their surface in the jars. Honey is my gift. ‘Tis I who call the winged creatures, which yield honey, to the violet, and the clover, and the grey thyme. (‘Tis I, too, who discharge the same function when in youthful years spirits run riot and bodies are robust.)”<br />
Ovid Fasti (V. 261 – 274)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In closing, a reminder to honor the Gods from Flora herself:<br />
<br />
“'nos quoque tangit honor: festis gaudemus et aris,<br />
turbaque caelestes ambitiosa sumus.<br />
saepe deos aliquis peccando fecit iniquos,<br />
et pro delictis hostia blanda fuit; <br />
saepe Iovem vidi, cum iam sua mittere vellet<br />
fulmina, ture dato sustinuisse manum.<br />
at si neglegimur, magnis iniuria poenis<br />
solvitur, et iustum praeterit ira modum.”<br />
“We, too, are touched by honor; we delight in festivals and altars; we heavenly beings are a greedy gang. Often by sinning has a man disposed the gods against him, and a sacrificial victim has been a sop for crimes. Often have I seen Jupiter, when he was just about to launch his thunderbolts, hold his hand on the receipt of incense. But if we are neglected, we avenge the wrong by heavenly penalties, and our wrath exceeds just bounds.”<br />
Ovid Fasti (V. 297 – 304)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
The ''Ludi Novi Romani'' was created three years ago to commemorate the annual anniversary of Nova Roma's founding. This year we are following that tradition and celebrating with the big number "XIII". A day for each year that Nova Roma has been in existence. This set of Curule Aediles and their Aedilician Cohors have worked extremely hard to present their fellow citizens and friends with activities and spectacles in mass bounties. We have had many pitfalls within the last year of our Republic, and we as one tribe have overcome that dark storm of sorrow. We ask all citizens from every walk of life to rejoice and celebrate in Nova Roma's next phase of life, with contests and quizzes galore, gladiatorial combats, a magnificent tribute to the Sea, and listen to myths retold by the fireside. <br />
<br />
In the end we simply encourage you all to Carpe Diem and LET US ALL HAVE FUN!<br />

<div>'''Minerva''', Goddess of wisdom and learning, meditation, inventiveness, accomplishments, the arts, spinning and weaving, and commerce. ''Minerva'' was identified with ''Pallas Athene'', bestower of victory, when Pompey the Great built her temple with the proceeds from his eastern campaigns. ''Minerva'' and ''[[Mars]]'' are honored Quinquatras, five days at the Spring equinox. <br />
[[Image:Minerva courtesy of Vroma.jpg|right|frame]]<br />
<br />
''Minerva'' has many aspects, attributes, names and epithets.<br />
<br />
'''Minerva: the Goddess of a Thousand Works''' (Ovidus Fasti III)<br />
<br />
<br />
“O Minerva, You have always come to my aid with Your counsels, witness to the existence of my works”<br />
Cicero De Domo sua ad Pontifices 144<br />
<br />
<br />
Minerva is wisdom, She is a goddess of many attributes, She is the guardian of life, preserving the intellectual and spiritual principle through Her protective power and under the providence of divine intelligence. <br />
<br />
We have come to know Minerva as having shared characteristics with the Greek Athena, including Her parentage. Minerva’s father was thought to be Pallas the Giant (although Pallas could be a variety of mentors or figures) or the daughter of Metis and Iuppiter (Tinia) springing from His head, reminiscent of Athena; tales of how She came to be are many and varied.[1] <br />
Some scholars believe She, Menrva, came from Falerii, now known as Civita Castellana, then a small hamlet on the right side of the Tiber. There She was worshipped as the protectress of handicraft and also of the working man, a very important aspect to the Ancient Roman people. The Etruscans brought this Goddess to Rome as part of the Capitoline Triad of Iuppiter, Iuno and Minerva. <br />
Under the reign of the last King of Rome, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, a Temple was constructed to rever them on Capitoline Hill; Aedes Iovis Optimi Maximi Capitolini. There were three separate chambers for these most important Deities; Iuno Regina on the Left, Iuppiter in the center and Minerva on the right. This was the second Capitoline Triad, the first predated the Roman Republic and came to be known as the Archaic Triad of Iuppiter, Mars and Quirinus. Tuscan craftsmen built the magnificent Etruscan Temple of Minerva and to honor them the area where they lived, at the foot of the Capitoline, was named for them in perpetuity; the Vicus Tuscus.[2,3] <br />
<br />
<br />
Minerva is not just a symbol of divine intellect but She gifts humans who seek Her guidance and induces meditations of intellectual illumination; wisdom.<br />
<br />
<br />
“Come now, golden haired Minerva, to favor the task I've begun”<br />
Ovidus Fasti 6.652<br />
<br />
<br />
She is a God of the people, revered by patricians and plebians alike, Her sense of fairness and equity endears Her to those who talents, rather than birth, set them apart from others.<br />
Minerva’s Temple on the Aventine in the 3rd century was host to the collegium of scribae and histriones who were dramatic authors and actors and where their archives were held. As a result of this an entire community of poets, including Ennius, took up residency on the Aventine, the traditional home of the plebs, close to Her Temple.[4] In Mid March plebian festivals were celebrated at the sanctuary of Minerva. These were guild festivals held during the Quinquatrus (March 19-26) to celebrate the anniversary of the consecration of Her Temple on the Aventine and included all the arts and trades sacred to Minerva: sculptors, painters, physician, teachers, weavers, fullers, dyers and cobblers.[5] The Temple of Minerva Medica on the Esquiline also was very much of the celebration with four days of sacrifices and competitions, mostly gladiatorial. Outstanding teachers were rewarded with the title “minerval” which is still continued today in various societies. [6,7] <br />
<br />
<br />
"After a one day interval, the rites of Minerva are performed, which take their name from the sequence of five days. The first day is bloodless, and sword fights are unlawful, because Minerva was born on that very day. The next four are celebrated with gladiatorial shows, the warlike goddess delights in naked swords. Pray now you boys and tender girls to Pallas: he who can truly please Pallas, is learned. Pleasing Pallas let girls learn to card wool, and how to unwind the full distaff. She shows how to draw the shuttle through the firm Warp, and close up loose threads with the comb. Worship her, you who remove stains from damaged clothes, Worship her, you who ready bronze cauldrons for fleeces. If Pallas frowns, no one could make good shoes, Even if he were more skilled than Tychius: and even if he were cleverer with his hands Than Epeus once was, he'll be useless if Pallas is angry. You too who drive away ills with Apollo's art, bring a few gifts of your own for the goddess: and don't scorn her, you schoolmasters, a tribe so often cheated of its pay: she attracts new pupils: nor you engravers, and painters with encaustics, nor you who carve the stone with a skilful hand. She's the goddess of a thousand things: and song for sure: If I'm worthy may she be a friend to my endeavors. Where the Caelian Hill slopes down to the plain, at the point where the street's almost, but not quite, level, you can see the little shrine of Minerva Capta, which the Goddess first occupied on Her birthday. The source of the name is doubtful: we speak of `Capital' ingenuity: the goddess is herself ingenious. Or is it because, motherless, she leapt, with a shield from the crown of her father's head (caput)? Or because she came to us as a `captive' from the conquest Of Falerii? This, an ancient inscription claims. Or because her law ordains `capital' punishment for receiving things stolen from that place? By whatever logic your title's derived, Pallas, Shield our leaders with your aegis forever." <br />
Ovidus, Fasti III; 809-848<br />
<br />
<br />
In the Eleusinian mysteries it is Minerva herself who preserves the very heart of Bacchus protecting the freedoms He represents and also His mysteries which gifts his cultores with possession and empowerment directly by the God’s divine self. Although this article is about Minerva I mention Bacchus and the mysteries (incl. Orphic) because She is inextricably tied to Bacchus as His birth, the rising sun, is the rising of intellectual light and its manifestations and therefore under her dominion. Her connection with Bacchus is thusly immortalized in the following poem:<br />
<br />
<br />
“To Minerva” by Proclus (3rd Century C.E.)<br />
<br />
“Daughter of ægis-bearing Jove, divine,<br />
Propitious to thy votaries’ prayer incline;<br />
From thy great father’s fount supremely bright,<br />
Like fire resounding, leaping into light.<br />
Shield-bearing goddess, hear, to whom belong<br />
A manly mind, and power to tame the strong!<br />
Oh, sprung from matchless might, with joyful mind<br />
Accept this hymn; benevolent and kind!<br />
The holy gates of wisdom, by thy hand<br />
Are wide unfolded; and the daring band<br />
Of earth-born giants, that in impious fight<br />
Strove with thy fire, were vanquished by thy might.<br />
Once by thy care, as sacred poets sing,<br />
The heart of Bacchus, swiftly-slaughtered king,<br />
Was sav’d in Æther, when, with fury fired,<br />
The Titans fell against his life conspired;<br />
And with relentless rage and thirst for gore,<br />
Their hands his members into fragments tore:<br />
But ever watchful of thy father’s will,<br />
Thy power preserv’d him from succeeding ill,<br />
Till from the secret counsels of his fire,<br />
And born from Semelé through heavenly sire,<br />
Great Dionysus to the world at length<br />
Again appeared with renovated strength.<br />
Once, too, thy warlike ax, with matchless sway,<br />
Lopped from their savage necks the heads away<br />
Of furious beasts, and thus the pests destroyed<br />
Which long all-seeing Hecaté annoyed.<br />
By thee benevolent great Juno’s might<br />
Was roused, to furnish mortals with delight.<br />
And thro’ life’s wide and various range, ’t is thine<br />
Each part to beautify with art divine:<br />
Invigorated hence by thee, we find<br />
A demiurgic impulse in the mind.<br />
Towers proudly raised, and for protection strong,<br />
To thee, dread guardian deity, belong,<br />
As proper symbols of th’ exalted height<br />
Thy series claims amidst the courts of light.<br />
Lands are beloved by thee, to learning prone,<br />
And Athens, Oh Athena, is thy own!<br />
Great goddess, hear! and on my dark’ned mind<br />
Pour thy pure light in measure unconfined;—<br />
That sacred light, Oh all-protecting queen,<br />
Which beams eternal from thy face serene.<br />
My soul, while wand’ring on the earth, inspire<br />
With thy own blessed and impulsive fire:<br />
And from thy fables, mystic and divine,<br />
Give all her powers with holy light to shine.<br />
Give love, give wisdom, and a power to love,<br />
Incessant tending to the realms above;<br />
Such as unconscious of base earth’s control<br />
Gently attracts the vice-subduing soul:<br />
From night’s dark region aids her to retire,<br />
And once more gain the palace of her sire.<br />
O all-propitious to my prayer incline!<br />
Nor let those horrid punishments be mine<br />
Which guilty souls in Tartarus confine,<br />
With fetters fast’ned to its brazen floors,<br />
And lock’d by hell’s tremendous iron doors.<br />
Hear me, and save (for power is all thine own)<br />
A soul desirous to be thine alone.”<br />
<br />
<br />
We see the connection of Bacchus and Minerva again in the celebration of the elderly Goddess, Anna Perenna on March 15th. Mars became enamored of the virgin Minerva’s beauty and asked Anna Perenna to intercede on his behalf, like most ancient tales it took an unexpected turn. Anna Perenna disguised Herself as Minerva on the wedding day but Mars found out just in time and the wedding never happened.[8] Anna Perenna is a Goddess of “the turning of the years” or circle of life and also as a fertility procuring entity. Because of these attributes the festival of the fertility god Liber Pater, later equated with Bacchus, included a remembrance of Anna Perenna as elderly women donning ivy crowns offered sacrifice to the fertility god and through these venerable women the requests of their younger counterparts for children was channeled.[9,10,11] <br />
In the context of the Orphic mysteries Minerva reveals the rhythmical dance of the celestial bodies [12] and while she remains with Iuppiter she is wisdom but when she is in the company of the Dii Consentes she also reveals the power of Virtue. [13]<br />
<br />
The fiery Minerva as a Novensides is known to hurl thunderbolts,[14]to be a Goddess of Victory,[15]Patron Goddess of Domitian as Minerva Chaldica forever immortalized on his coinage,[16]and interpreted by the stoics to be a moon element.[17] The anniversary of Mens (Intelligence) on June 8 finds, at the end of a long day and night of celebration, flute players drunk, in masks and other disguises arrive at the Temple of Minerva in reverence to the Goddess who invented their flutes and their music.[18,19] She is worshipped at Luceria in Apulia as Minerva Achaea, where cultores leave votive gifts. Preserved at this Temple were arms purported to be those of Diomedes himself.[20] Sacred to Her are the Owl and Olive. <br />
<br />
In Rome she is also known as the Goddess of Warriors, of strategic defense in War, depicted wearing armor, a helmet and carrying a spear.<br />
<br />
<br />
“Proud, warlike Goddess, great honor and wisdom of Your Father, powerful in war are You, on whom the grim helmet is borne with its frightful decoration, speckled with the Gorgon's blood that glows more violent with increasing rage, never has Mavors or Bellona with Her battle spear inspired more ardent calls to arms on the war trumpets than You. May You with Your nod accept this sacrificial offering. Whether You come from Mount Pandion to our rites by night, or from dancing happily in Ainian Itone, or from washing once more Your hair in the waters of Libyan Triton, or whether the winged axle of your war chariot, with its paired pure-bred horses carries you astride its beam, shouting aloud, now, to You, we dedicate the shattered spoils of virile men and their battered armour. Should I return to my Parthaonian fields, and upon being sighted Martian Pleuron should throw open wide her gates for me, then amid her hills, at the center of the city, I shall dedicate to you a golden temple where it may be your pleasure to look upon Ionian storms, and where Achelous tosses about his flaxen hair to disturb the sea where it leaves behind the breakers of Echinades. In here will I display accounts of ancestral wars and the death-masks of great hearted kings, and affix the arms of the proud in the rotunda that I have returned with myself, taken at the cost of my own blood, and those, Tritonia, that you will grant when Thebes is captured. There a hundred Calydonian virgins will serve in devotions at your altar, shall duly twine the Actaean torches, and weave from Your chaste olive tree purple sacrificial fillets with snow white strands of wool. At nightly vigils an aged priestess will tend your altar's fire, and never will she neglect to safeguard your modesty, attending in secret to the rites of your boudoir. To you in war, to you in peace, the first fruits of our labors shall be borne, without offence to Diana.”<br />
Statius Thebaid 2.715-42<br />
<br />
<br />
There is no way in this brief treatise can I cover the scope of this Great Goddesses attributes, tales of Her accomplishments and experiences and countless songs and poetry in her honor but I implore anyone to go in search of these many jewels for a rewarding experience. <br />
I shall end with a very important aspect of Minerva with a piece of history and a finally a touching poem.<br />
<br />
Inscribed plaques dedicated to Minerva the Mindful fashioned by a Roman Matron, Tullia Superiana commemorating the sacrifice of a white cow made in fulfillment of a vow by a slave for the recovery of his sight and a votive display of gratitude for restoring her hair:<br />
<br />
<br />
“Felix Asianus, public slave of the pontiffs, gladly and sincerely discharged his vow of a white heifer to rustic Bona Dea Felicula (Good Goddess Felicula) for the restoration of his eyesight. He had been given up by the doctors, but after ten months he was cured by the favor of the Mistress and her remedies.” (CIL 6.68) [21]<br />
<br />
“In payment of her vow Tullia Superiana dedicates this plaque willingly and deservedly to Minerva the Mindful for having restored her hair.” [22]<br />
<br />
<br />
“In Vita Minerva”<br />
Oliver Wendell Holmes<br />
<br />
"Vex not the Muse with idle prayers,--<br />
She will not hear thy call;<br />
She steals upon thee unawares,<br />
Or seeks thee not at all.<br />
<br />
Soft as the moonbeams when they sought<br />
Endymion's fragrant bower,<br />
She parts the whispering leaves of thought<br />
To show her full-blown flower.<br />
<br />
For thee her wooing hour has passed,<br />
The singing birds have flown,<br />
And winter comes with icy blast<br />
To chill thy buds unblown.<br />
<br />
Yet, though the woods no longer thrill<br />
As once their arches rung,<br />
Sweet echoes hover round thee still<br />
Of songs thy summer sung.<br />
<br />
Live in thy past; await no more<br />
The rush of heaven-sent wings;<br />
Earth still has music left in store<br />
While Memory sighs and sings."<br />
<br />

{{AedileSectionHeader|HISTORICAL SECTION}}<br />
{{PortalBox | title=''Aediles in Roma Antiqua'' | content=<br />
The name "''aedile''" is said to come from their having the care of the temple (''aedes'') of [[Ceres]]. The first ''aediles'', created in 494 BC, were plebeian ones. They were the assistants of the tribunes in such matters as the tribunes entrusted to them, including the hearing of causes of smaller importance.<br />
<br />
The ''aediles curules'', who were also two in number, were originally chosen only from the patricians, afterwards alternately from the patricians and the plebs, and at last indifferently from both (Liv. 7,1). The office of ''aediles curules'' was instituted B.C. 365, and, according to Livy on the occasion of the plebeian ''aediles refusing'' to consent to celebrate the ''ludi maximi'' for the space of four days instead of three; upon which a ''senatus consultum'' was passed, by which two ''aediles1' were to be chosen from the patricians. From this time four ''aediles'', two ''plebeii'' and two ''curules'', were annually elected (Liv. 6,42). <br />
<br />
They had the general superintendence of buildings, both sacred and private: under this power they provided for the support and repair of temples, ''curiae'' etc, and took care that private buildings which were in a ruinous state were repaired by the owners, or pulled down. The superintendence over the supply and distribution of water at Rome was, at an early period, a matter of public administration: this was the duty of the ''censores''; but when there were no ''censores'', it was within the province of the ''aediles''. The care of each particular source or supply was farmed to undertakers, and all that they did was subject to the approbation of the censors or the ''aediles'' (De Aquaeduct. Rom. lib. ii).<br />
<br />
The care of the streets and pavements, with the cleansing and draining of the city, belonged to the ''aediles'', and the care of the ''cloacae''. They had the office of distributing corn among the plebs. The ''aediles'' had to see that the public lands were not improperly used, and that the pasture-grounds of the state were not trespassed on; and they had power to punish by fine any unlawful act in this respect. The fines were employed in paving roads, and in other public purposes. <br />

We are pleased to announce our International Project and share the following information:<br />
<br />
Project: Sodalitas proDIIS - A temple for the Gods in Rome<br />
<br />
More than 1600 years after their public worship had been forbidden by Theodosius I. in 391-392 / 1144 ab urbe condita:<br />
The Gods are coming home!<br />
<br />
There are over 1000 Churches in Rome; the centro storico, the historical center itself, has 320 churches but not a single public temple open for the worship of the Roman Gods for the Cultus Deorum! <br />
Without the Roman Gods there would be no Rome!<br />
Rome is the urbs; it is the place to honor the gods and it will ensure the rebirth of Romanitas.<br />
<br />
Our sodalitas is embarking on a long term initiative to provide a temple/templum to the Roman Gods for the public worship in Rome. <br />
When the temple has been built the followers of the Cultus Deorum (Religio Romana) will finally have direct access to visit a Roman temple dedicated to the Roman Gods when in Rome with the ability to pay personal homage or take part in religious rites. <br />
Article 18 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone has the right to “to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.” This initiative will someday enable followers of the Cultus Deorum to have a temple for the Gods in Rome where they belong.<br />
<br />
By making this group open to the public we offer honesty and responsibility to all those involved. <br />
Our objectives:<br />
• Promote Religious Tolerance<br />
• Raise Capital<br />
• Buy Land<br />
• Construct the Temple<br />
• Consign the Temple under the auspices of the Cultus Deorum Romanorum<br />
• Maintain the Temple<br />
• Provide a legitimate cultural and religious presence in the world for the followers of the Religio Romana, as well as extending this cultural and religious legitimacy to the followers of the Roman-Hellenic pantheon.<br />
<br />
Our approach:<br />
<br />
Take the farmer, for example, he does not wake up one morning and on a whim purchase a field and then decide where to plant his crops, how to get the irrigation, what his customer base is and what crops to rotate in the coming year. He constructs a well thought-out, stable and researched plan; without this he knows he is doomed to fail. <br />
This process is truly Roman! The Roman way, the model for today’s western society, will be our approach as well and thus we had written a Business Plan.<br />
It is of the utmost importance to keep realistic expectations and to realize that the implementation will not happen overnight – even a year is nearly an impossibility. <br />
<br />
Thus our plan -and these plans always have a tentative factor- will be projected for three years if Fortuna smiles upon us. <br />
<br />
The gathering of Information and the document preparation phase of the project is being projected for one year.<br />
Please join us in our work, make suggestions and feel free to ask any questions you might have.<br />
<br />
We will leave you with this thought - imagine walking up the stairway of the Roman temple, a temple that is not a museum, but a living religious center of the Cultus Deorum in all its glory to the Gods! <br />
Can you imagine this?<br />
We can and thus we have founded the sodalitas proDIIS. <br />
We do hope for your support.<br />

We are pleased to announce our International Project and share the following information:<br />
<br />
Project: Sodalitas proDIIS - A temple for the Gods in Rome<br />
<br />
More than 1600 years after their public worship had been forbidden by Theodosius I. in 391-392 / 1144 ab urbe condita:<br />
The Gods are coming home!<br />
<br />
There are over 1000 Churches in Rome; the centro storico, the historical center itself, has 320 churches but not a single public temple open for the worship of the Roman Gods for the Cultus Deorum! <br />
Without the Roman Gods there would be no Rome!<br />
Rome is the urbs; it is the place to honor the gods and it will ensure the rebirth of Romanitas.<br />
<br />
Our sodalitas is embarking on a long term initiative to provide a temple/templum to the Roman Gods for the public worship in Rome. <br />
When the temple has been built the followers of the Cultus Deorum (Religio Romana) will finally have direct access to visit a Roman temple dedicated to the Roman Gods when in Rome with the ability to pay personal homage or take part in religious rites. <br />
Article 18 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone has the right to “to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.” This initiative will someday enable followers of the Cultus Deorum to have a temple for the Gods in Rome where they belong.<br />
<br />
By making this group open to the public we offer honesty and responsibility to all those involved. <br />
Our objectives:<br />
• Promote Religious Tolerance<br />
• Raise Capital<br />
• Buy Land<br />
• Construct the Temple<br />
• Consign the Temple under the auspices of the Cultus Deorum Romanorum<br />
• Maintain the Temple<br />
• Provide a legitimate cultural and religious presence in the world for the followers of the Religio Romana, as well as extending this cultural and religious legitimacy to the followers of the Roman-Hellenic pantheon.<br />
<br />
Our approach:<br />
<br />
Take the farmer, for example, he does not wake up one morning and on a whim purchase a field and then decide where to plant his crops, how to get the irrigation, what his customer base is and what crops to rotate in the coming year. He constructs a well thought-out, stable and researched plan; without this he knows he is doomed to fail. <br />
This process is truly Roman! The Roman way, the model for today’s western society, will be our approach as well and thus we had written a Business Plan.<br />
It is of the utmost importance to keep realistic expectations and to realize that the implementation will not happen overnight – even a year is nearly an impossibility. <br />
<br />
Thus our plan -and these plans always have a tentative factor- will be projected for three years if Fortuna smiles upon us. <br />
<br />
The gathering of Information and the document preparation phase of the project is being projected for one year.<br />
Please join us in our work, make suggestions and feel free to ask any questions you might have.<br />
<br />
We will leave you with this thought - imagine walking up the stairway of the Roman temple, a temple that is not a museum, but a living religious center of the Cultus Deorum in all its glory to the Gods! <br />
Can you imagine this?<br />
We can and thus we have founded the sodalitas proDIIS. <br />
We do hope for your support.<br />

[[Image:prae_vex_aae.jpg]] <br />
<br />
==Praetorium==<br />
<br />
The Praetorium is the office of the propraetor, or governor, of a Nova Roman province. The current Provincial Praetorium is located in Ala Provinciorum I (Brunson, S.C) Carolina (NC/SC), Provincia America Austrorientalis, America Septentrionalis. The Propraetor America Austrorientalis is assisted by a staff like that of a present day government.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:prop_vex_aae.jpg]] <br />
<br />
==Cohors Propraetoris==<br />
The staff personnel of the Praetorium, Cohors Propraetoris, handle areas like the treasury, the military, interprovincial relations, and public games and gatherings. The Cohors Propraetoris consists of all the assistants (legati and scribae) of the Propraetor America Austrorientalis.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
All members (Legati and Consiliari) of the Consilium Provincia are part of the inner circle of the Cohors Propraetoris. All other officials appointed by the Propraetor are parts of the outer circle of the Cohors Propraetoris. This does not mean that they lack in importance. On the contrary, they each have an important field of responsibility.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The whole Cohors Propraetoris is the modern equivalent of the followers of the provincial Governor of Roma Antiqua. The Propraetor's retinue was in many respects a military one; they all acted in a foreign country that could be hostile. We will also act in a non-Roman country, but let's hope that it isn't a hostile one ;-)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As the governors of the old days, the Propraetor expects a certain loyalty, discipline and unity from the Cohors Propraetoris. The members of the Consilium Provincia should, as a kind of General's staff, set an example in this and all Roman behavior to the rest of the Cohors Propraetoris.<br />

__NOTOC__ __NOEDITSECTION__ <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:prae_vex_aae.jpg]] <br />
<br />
==Praetorium==<br />
<br />
The Praetorium is the office of the propraetor, or governor, of a Nova Roman province. The current Provincial Praetorium is located in Ala Provinciorum I (Brunson, S.C) Carolina (NC/SC), Provincia America Austrorientalis, America Septentrionalis. The Propraetor America Austrorientalis is assisted by a staff like that of a present day government.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:prop_vex_aae.jpg]] <br />
<br />
==Cohors Propraetoris==<br />
The staff personnel of the Praetorium, Cohors Propraetoris, handle areas like the treasury, the military, interprovincial relations, and public games and gatherings. The Cohors Propraetoris consists of all the assistants (legati and scribae) of the Propraetor America Austrorientalis.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
All members (Legati and Consiliari) of the Consilium Provincia are part of the inner circle of the Cohors Propraetoris. All other officials appointed by the Propraetor are parts of the outer circle of the Cohors Propraetoris. This does not mean that they lack in importance. On the contrary, they each have an important field of responsibility.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The whole Cohors Propraetoris is the modern equivalent of the followers of the provincial Governor of Roma Antiqua. The Propraetor's retinue was in many respects a military one; they all acted in a foreign country that could be hostile. We will also act in a non-Roman country, but let's hope that it isn't a hostile one ;-)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As the governors of the old days, the Propraetor expects a certain loyalty, discipline and unity from the Cohors Propraetoris. The members of the Consilium Provincia should, as a kind of General's staff, set an example in this and all Roman behavior to the rest of the Cohors Propraetoris.<br />

==Opening of the Ludi Megalenses==<br />
<br />
''Ædilis Curulis P. Annæus Constantinus Placidus omnibus civibus, peregrinisque bonæ voluntatis salutem plurimam dicit.''<br />
<br />
''Salvete omnes!''<br />
<br />
This week we honor the Sacred Protectress of Rome.<br />
Today is the start of the Ludi Megalesia in honor of the Great Mother, the Magna Mater, the Mother of all living creatures and the less tame aspects within nature. Over the next 7 days with the last day being April 10th we will have games in the honor of She who in antiquity was worshipped from the highest mountaintops to the depths of her beloved virgin forests of pine, fir and maple. She was honored in 5 Temples in Rome<br />
In ancient times the arrival of the statue of the Goddess was celebrated in a glorious procession, lectisernia and games! Citizens and visitors alike crowded Rome to lay gifts at the feet of the Great Mother on the Captitol.<br />
<br />
This is the time of great rejoicing, participation in games and feasting for all Novi Romani! Our games will include theatric and scenic themes of ancient Roman and Nova Roman life in keeping the spirit of the games of antiquity when pastoral plays were held in on the Palatine in front of Magna Mater's temple and also in the theaters.<br />
<br />
This is a time of good will for all Novi Romani, for getting along with our fellow citizens and for joy and happiness! Let us all enjoy this feast and join in the games forgetting for a least a little while the mundane!<br />
<br />
Without any further delay I offer to you all a warm and heartfelt WELCOME to this new edition of the LUDI MEGALESES!<br />
<br />
Hereby I do declare the Ludi Megaleses of Nova Roma OPEN!<br />
<br />
''Optime valete omnes!''<br />
<br />
'''P. Annæus Constantinus Placidus'''<br />
<br />
''Ædilis Curulis Novæ Romæ''<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Invocation to Magna Mater'''<br />
<br />
''Hail Great Goddess, Magna Mater, safe in the womb of Your sacred forests I, L. Iulia Aquila, praise Thee with voice lifted to the highest mountains! Draw near, hear, and accept these sacrifices of milk and honey, of the sweetest incense, in Your honor! I humbly implore You, Great Mother, to protect and bring propitious blessings, harmony and happiness to the citizens of Nova Roma, to the sacred city of Rome and to all those who remember Your name this holy week of Your joyous festival!''<br />
<br />
<br />
From Precatio Terrae 15-24:<br />
<br />
Merito vocaris Magna tu Mater deum, <br />
pietate quia vicisti divom numina; <br />
tuque illa vera esd gentium et divom parens, <br />
sine qua nil maturatur nec nasci potest: <br />
tu es Magna tuque divom regina es, dea.<br />
Te, diva, adoro tuumque ego numen invoco, <br />
facilisque praestes hoc mihi quod te rogo; <br />
referamque grates, diva, tibi merita fide. <br />
exaudi me, quaeso, et fave coeptis meis; <br />
hoc quod peto a te, diva, mihi praesta volens.<br />
<br />

==Opening of the Ludi Megalenses==<br />
<br />
''Ædilis Curulis P. Annæus Constantinus Placidus omnibus civibus, peregrinisque bonæ voluntatis salutem plurimam dicit.''<br />
<br />
''Salvete omnes!''<br />
<br />
This week we honor the Sacred Protectress of Rome.<br />
Today is the start of the Ludi Megalesia in honor of the Great Mother, the Magna Mater, the Mother of all living creatures and the less tame aspects within nature. Over the next 7 days with the last day being April 10th we will have games in the honor of She who in antiquity was worshipped from the highest mountaintops to the depths of her beloved virgin forests of pine, fir and maple. She was honored in 5 Temples in Rome<br />
In ancient times the arrival of the statue of the Goddess was celebrated in a glorious procession, lectisernia and games! Citizens and visitors alike crowded Rome to lay gifts at the feet of the Great Mother on the Captitol.<br />
<br />
This is the time of great rejoicing, participation in games and feasting for all Novi Romani! Our games will include theatric and scenic themes of ancient Roman and Nova Roman life in keeping the spirit of the games of antiquity when pastoral plays were held in on the Palatine in front of Magna Mater's temple and also in the theaters.<br />
<br />
This is a time of good will for all Novi Romani, for getting along with our fellow citizens and for joy and happiness! Let us all enjoy this feast and join in the games forgetting for a least a little while the mundane!<br />
<br />
Without any further delay I offer to you all a warm and heartfelt WELCOME to this new edition of the LUDI MEGALESES!<br />
<br />
Hereby I do declare the Ludi Megaleses of Nova Roma OPEN!<br />
<br />
''Optime valete omnes!''<br />
<br />
'''P. Annæus Constantinus Placidus'''<br />
<br />
''Ædilis Curulis Novæ Romæ''<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Invocation to Magna Mater'''<br />
<br />
''Hail Great Goddess, Magna Mater, safe in the womb of Your sacred forests I, L. Iulia Aquila, praise Thee with voice lifted to the highest mountains! Draw near, hear, and accept these sacrifices of milk and honey, of the sweetest incense, in Your honor! I humbly implore You, Great Mother, to protect and bring propitious blessings, harmony and happiness to the citizens of Nova Roma, to the sacred city of Rome and to all those who remember Your name this holy week of Your joyous festival!''<br />
<br />
<br />
From Precatio Terrae 15-24:<br />
<br />
Merito vocaris Magna tu Mater deum, <br />
pietate quia vicisti divom numina; <br />
tuque illa vera esd gentium et divom parens, <br />
sine qua nil maturatur nec nasci potest: <br />
tu es Magna tuque divom regina es, dea.<br />
Te, diva, adoro tuumque ego numen invoco, <br />
facilisque praestes hoc mihi quod te rogo; <br />
referamque grates, diva, tibi merita fide. <br />
exaudi me, quaeso, et fave coeptis meis; <br />
hoc quod peto a te, diva, mihi praesta volens.<br />

Julia: You'll have to catch me first!<br />
<br />
If you choose to include a pastoral scene then you can include short descriptions between "actors" dialogue.<br />

<br />
<br />
[[Image:prae_vex_aae.jpg]] <br />
<br />
==Praetorium==<br />
<br />
The Praetorium is the office of the propraetor, or governor, of a Nova Roman province. The current Provincial Praetorium is located in Ala Provinciorum I (Brunson, S.C) Carolina (NC/SC), Provincia America Austrorientalis, America Septentrionalis. The Propraetor America Austrorientalis is assisted by a staff like that of a present day government.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:prop_vex_aae.jpg]] <br />
<br />
==Cohors Propraetoris==<br />
The staff personnel of the Praetorium, Cohors Propraetoris, handle areas like the treasury, the military, interprovincial relations, and public games and gatherings. The Cohors Propraetoris consists of all the assistants (legati and scribae) of the Propraetor America Austrorientalis.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
All members (Legati and Consiliari) of the Consilium Provincia are part of the inner circle of the Cohors Propraetoris. All other officials appointed by the Propraetor are parts of the outer circle of the Cohors Propraetoris. This does not mean that they lack in importance. On the contrary, they each have an important field of responsibility.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The whole Cohors Propraetoris is the modern equivalent of the followers of the provincial Governor of Roma Antiqua. The Propraetor's retinue was in many respects a military one; they all acted in a foreign country that could be hostile. We will also act in a non-Roman country, but let's hope that it isn't a hostile one ;-)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As the governors of the old days, the Propraetor expects a certain loyalty, discipline and unity from the Cohors Propraetoris. The members of the Consilium Provincia should, as a kind of General's staff, set an example in this and all Roman behavior to the rest of the Cohors Propraetoris.<br />

America Austrorientalis (AAe) is one of the numerous Provinciae of Nova Roma, each of which has its own governor and organizes its own events and activities. America Austrorientalis has a strong Nova Roman community, which is held together largely thanks to our mailing lists and live events. Our citizens live all across the Southeastern United States.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Nova Roma has much to offer to all those interested in the many facets of Ancient Rome. We have many associations known as Sodalitates which are dedicated to studying a wide range of topics, including but not limited to the Roman military, the Latin Language, and various cultural arts. Provinces hold events to promote membership and encourage participation. Nova Roma is diverse enough to accommodate almost any field of interest in Ancient Rome, including the Religio Romana.<br />
<br />
<br />
For administrative purposes, the provincia of America Austrorientalis is also divided into five Regiones, geographically corresponding to modern political districts, each of which is assigned a Legate, who deals with the day-to-day running of his or her Regio. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Provincia America Austrorientalis is administered by a Propraetor appointed by the Senate of Nova Roma. The Propraetor has the power of imperium and can issue edicts (laws on the provincial level). The Propraetor can also appoint Legati and Scribae. All of these have different titles (see the Cohors Propraetoris).<br />
<br />
<br />
The current Propraetor America Austrorientalis is Gaius Aquillius Rota. He resides in Ala Provinciorum I (Brunson, South Carolina), the current Praetorium (HQ, Propraetors residens, Capital) of America Austrorientalis.<br />

America Austrorientalis (AAe) is one of the numerous Provinciae of Nova Roma, each of which has its own governor and organizes its own events and activities. America Austrorientalis has a strong Nova Roman community, which is held together largely thanks to our mailing lists and live events. Our citizens live all across the Southeastern United States.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Nova Roma has much to offer to all those interested in the many facets of Ancient Rome. We have many associations known as Sodalitates which are dedicated to studying a wide range of topics, including but not limited to the Roman military, the Latin Language, and various cultural arts. Provinces hold events to promote membership and encourage participation. Nova Roma is diverse enough to accommodate almost any field of interest in Ancient Rome, including the Religio Romana.<br />
<br />
<br />
For administrative purposes, the provincia of America Austrorientalis is also divided into five Regiones, geographically corresponding to modern political districts, each of which is assigned a Legate, who deals with the day-to-day running of his or her Regio. <br />
<br />
<br />
*'''Regiones:''' [[Regio Carolina (Nova Roma)|Carolina (NC/SC)]] | [[Regio Florida (Nova Roma)|Florida (FL)]] | [[Regio Georgia (Nova Roma)|Georgia (GA/AL)]] | [[Regio Mississippi (Nova Roma)|Mississippi (MS/LA)]] | [[Regio Tennessee (Nova Roma)|Tennessee (TN/AR)]]<br><br />
<br />
<br />
Provincia America Austrorientalis is administered by a Propraetor appointed by the Senate of Nova Roma. The Propraetor has the power of imperium and can issue edicts (laws on the provincial level). The Propraetor can also appoint Legati and Scribae. All of these have different titles (see the Cohors Propraetoris).<br />
<br />
<br />
The current Propraetor America Austrorientalis is Gaius Aquillius Rota. He resides in Ala Provinciorum I(South Carolina), the current Praetorium (HQ, Propraetors residens, Capital) of America Austrorientalis.<br />
