this is way off subject(i think)
but i was thinking of our unity as a people. i know that in the past
several questions regarding sovreinty (sp?) have been raised.
this brought about thoughts of the jehova's witness' and assyrians.
these are peoples who exists as cultures with in many states; they also
retain seperate identities from those who surround them.

i was thinking that perhaps we should inbfluence the use of (and teaching
of) latin as a language for the use of nova romans.

and also the establishment (re-establishment of) roman ideals( ie. virtues)
and way of life as a nation with out a nation basis, as used by this
religion and culture......just one of my hair brained schemes though

let me know what you think

Subject: Military Augury
From: "Nicolaus Moravius" n_moravius@--------
Date: Sun, 03 Oct 1999 04:03:21 PDT
Salvete!

Question for our Augures and Miles:

Assuming that the building of military istallations were considered
sufficiently important by the inauguration of a templum, but that the
military (as always) tends to be rather mechanical in its official religious
obserance, does anyone know (or will anyone make an educated guess) whether
unfavourable auguries for the erection of (say) a fortress on a prime and
strategically critical site, were simply ignored, or (somehow) never
occurred?

I'm thinking about the potential conflict of two doctrines, here: that of
pietas religiosa versus military expediency.

Valete bene,

Vado.

Intriguing question.

Someone certainly either A) ignored the omens or B) uset the gods when the
fortress at Burrium (Usk) was built. It spent a lot of its existence
underwater from flooding. The move 10 miles downstream to Isca (Caerleon)
cured the problem.

Yes! And one of our magistrates, Antonius Gryllus Graecus, did something
great in that direction, and which I hope will be imitated innumerable times
in our future: the Ludi Apollinares. Marce Minuci, are you going to print
the winners from that contest soon?

Well, that's a lot harder to do than to study and promote the use of Latin
(not that the latter is without effort either). I think that you're on to
something though. I suppose that the beginnings of doing this entail
adhering to Lenin's maxim: Study, study and study once again!

Subject: Assyrians
From: dean6886@--------)
Date: Sun, 3 Oct 1999 11:02:09 -0500 (CDT)

Yes, the Assyrians do have a webpage somewhere out there that I've
seen. They are a persecuted minority and apparently the entire history
of the Assyrian people have been riddled by mass genocide. They are a
Christian minority in a predominantly Muslim world and they have some
kind of Calendar attatched to their website showing almost monthly
occurrences of atrocities.

I recall one story in particular which happened within the last few
years about a sheperd or herd farmer of some sort that caught three
Kurdish bandits killing his livestock and when confronted a fight
ensued. He killed at least one of the bandits and the survivor(s) went
back to their own village. The local magistrates wanted him tried for
murder of the bandits which would mean a death sentence based on what
the legal system actually means in that area.

The sheperds mother I believe convinced her son to give himself up
and come from out of hiding before the Kurds would come and kill
everyone in the village. Giving himself up, he was tried before a mob
and tied to a tree where he was hacked to death with axes from local
Kurdish women. I don't think I forgot anything from this story I read
about a year or so ago. Granted this is a story told by Assyrians, so it
does not come from a nuetral source. I tend to believe at least that the
man had less than a fair trial.

Salvete.

Yes. They are still around. Their homeland is in the modern state of Iraq,
there are many in California. A city in the San Joaquin Valley (the southern
branch of the Great Central Valley of California) has a huge Assyrian
population. I can't remember the name of it, though it is one of the ones that
I hear the name of often (not Fresno). Their religion is version of
Christianity. A legend/myth I got from a co-worker who is married to an
Assyrian says that they claimto have been converted to Christianity by one of
the Magi who visited the Assyrian king on the way back from the Nativity. [I
suggest nobody bothers to post any critique of this story. A religion's mythos
is what it is. Period.] There is a fine wines store (and booze too) store that
is run by Assyrians in my old neighborhood here in San Francisco. An Assyrian
last name is Yohannon. (I worked with him warehousing.) There is a gourmet
cook and restaurant critic in San Francisco whose name is Narsi David. The
local Assyrian community donated a statue of Assurbanibal to the San Francisco
Civic Center (i.e. forum). Below are two Assyrian sites I draged up with a
short search after I read Merullus's post.
