Salve,
I have just paid my yearly $12 (This year it differs by country) taxes to
Nova Roma for the 2nd year in a row. I strongly encourage ALL of my fellow
Nova Romans to make the commitment to help Nova Roma grow by paying their
taxes.
Vale,
Iulius Titinius Antonius

Ides Martius
This day (NP), is for special religious observance.
The month of March belongs to the warlike Mars, the deity who personifies the protection of the state and the productivity of the community. This is the fifteenth day of the Festival of Mars. The daily spectacle of the priests of Mars leaping and dancing through the streets of Rome would continue this day.
This day, of course, has acquired infamy due to the public murder of Julius Caesar, the originator of this Julian version of the Roman calendar. The conspiratorial attempt to restore the archaic Republic failed and resulted in years of carnage and destruction.
This day was also the Festival of Anna Porenna, the deified image of an old woman who either represented the flowing river (amne perenne) or who had baked bread to feed Roman soldiers near Bovillae. This was a picnic day, and the Romans would travel out and set up tents and camps around the first milestone of the Via Flamina.
On this day in 45 BCE Caesar won the final victory over Pompey's troops, defeating his two sons at Munda. The Pax Romana truly began this day.
Today is a dies nefastus publicus (NP), a day for special religious
observance when legal business cannot take place.
The Idus of every month are sacred to Iuppiter. An white ewe is sacrificed
to Iuppiter by the Flamen Dialis.
This day belongs to Anna Perenna. Anna Perena is probably the deified image
of an old woman who either represents the indefinitely renewed years, and
hence Macrobius says that offerings were made to her "in order to be
permitted to forever pass the years agreeably" [Macrobius, Saturnalia,
1.12.6]. He also says that people went to sacrifice to her both publicly and
privately. Lydus says that public sacrifice and prayers were offered to her
to secure a healthy year [Lydus, De Mensibus, 4.49].
Anyway, the feast of Anna Perenna was held in her grove near the Tiber, in
the first milestone of the Via Flaminia. Ovidius tells us how the romans
celebrated this day [Ovidius, Fasti, III.523 seq.]:
"On the Ides is held the jovial feats of Anna Perenna not far from thy
banks, O Tiber, who comest from afar. The common folk come, and scattered
here and there over the green grass they drink, every lad reclining besides
his lass. Some camp under the open sky; a few pitch tents; some make leafy
huts of boughs. Others set up reeds in place of rigid pilars, and stretching
out their robes place them upon the reeds. But they grow warm with sun and
wine, and they pray for as many years as they take cups, and they count the
cups they drink. There shall you find a man who drains as many goblets as
Nestor numbered years, and a woman who would live to Sibyl's age if cups
could work the charm. There they sing the ditties they picked up in the
theatres, beating time to the words with nimble hands; they set the bowl
down, and trip in dances lubberly, while the spruce sweetheart skips about
with streaming hair. On the way home they reel, a spectacle for vulgar eyes,
and the crowd that meets them calls them 'blest'. I met the procession
lately; I thought it notable; a drunk old woman lugged a drunk old man."
As a curiosity, an obscure passage in Martial seems to refer that some
sexual license took place in the grove of Anna Perenna, for he says that
Anna's grove "the fruit-bearing grove of Anna Perenna delights in virginal
blood" ("uirgineo cruore gaudet Annae pomiferum nemus Perennae.") [Martial,
EPIGRAMMATON, 4.64.16 seq.].
This was also the day of the procession of the canophori (reed-bearers) of
the cult of Magna Mater. They came from the border of the Almo and entered
Rome to go to Her temple on the Palatine Hill. From today until the Dies
Sanguinis (9 days later), the woshipers of Magna Mater abstained from some
types of food.
The month of March belongs to Mars, who personifies the protection of the
state and the productivity of the community.
Bene Omnius Nobis
Valete, Lucius Equitius

The Annual Membership Fee page has been updated with this year's

rates for various countries.
Please go here to make your payment:

Salve Censor,
There is an error on the updated page. It states
"Citizens under eighteen years of age are exempt.
Citizens who joined Nova Roma after December 1st 2001
are exempt."
This shold read December 1st 2002, not 2001, and it
could cause confusion for citizens who joined between
December 1st, 2001 and November 30th 2002.

I've removed the statement entirely. With the change to the
law in December, new citizens are now Capite Censi from the
start, and therefore are eligible to pay immediately.
There are a handful of citizens - those who were approved
between Dec 1st & Dec 15, 2002 - after the old exemption
date but before the start of the election that approved
the Lex Cornelia Octavia de Assidui et Capite Censi. But
everyone else (over 18) should pay.
Thanks for noticing the error.
Vale, Octavius.

I agree that this type of advertising is inappropriate for the NR mainlist although there was certainly some interracial marriage going on in the Empire.
>
I didn't realise it was an open enough list to let these spammers in. They crop up in other places too and I happen to find them personally offensive. They can only come from people who perceive inter-racial relationships as exotic, weird, queer or otherwise abnormal enough to need advertisement as a 'feature'. My first real girlfriend came from Guyana and I admit to a preference for old gold skin ever since, at least to look at. The kind of people who classed us as some kind of oddity are the kind I very much wish to keep as far away from as possible.

Subscription to the Venationes in past editions
created several troubles to participants. While we are
trying to allow citizens to subscribe Venationes
through a form in next editions, the current one still
requires your patience. We are sorry!
However, we tried to simplify it a bit all the same.
Each participant will buy a fighter with his/her own
sestertii (the ones we give you or the ones you won in
past Venationes). You will also use these sestertii to
introduce your fighter into a gladiatorial gymnasium
(Ludus) up to the following edition of the Venationes.
Those citizens which already have a fighter will not
be able to buy another one.
Then each fighter will be assigned at random to one or
more wild animals he/she will have to fight against in
the Arena.
At the end... you just have to wait for the winner!
The man or the beast?
Also, if your fighter wins, you will get a sestertii
award from the gymnasium your fighter trains in!
These venationes will take place in the Circus
Flaminius, an important event, so each gymnasium
offers SH 25,000 to be divided among its winning
fighters!
Do you want to take part to the Venationes? Well, this
time all you need is sending a message at
mcserapio@yahoo.it (mcserapio @ yahoo.it) writing
"Venationes" in the subject line. Just remember to
write your Roman name too!
Then you will be contacted to complete your
subscription.
Hurry up! We only accept 10 participants!!!
See you soon in the Arena!!! ;-)
