Salvete Illustrus Consul and Domitianus,

this is not the final version of the website, there are several
errors and the prices aren't correct. We're waiting the last news
from some chiper hotels and about the organization of the days.
Please wait for the official announcement in a couple of days.

Salvete, omnes.

Modern forensic methodology depends to an extraordinary degree on
detailed examination of the crime scene. Neither literary nor
archaeological sources disclose how the curia Pompeii was internally
structured, where exactly the statue of Pompeii was located or where
precisely Caesar was in relation to it. Without that knowledge the
sort of forensic analysis the television provided is mere speculation.
Furthermore, the literary sources are not entirely mutually
compatible and my view is that the producers picked and chose such
evidence from those sources as concurred with their hypothesis without
explaining in any detail why they excluded those elements which ran
counter to it. The assassination of Caesar has been one of the most
studied events in all of history and it's going to take rather more
than an hour of "Forensic Files Meets Roman History" to persuade me
that the scholarly consensus is wrong.

Valete.

Avete, Quirites.

Here's a link to the UniversitŽ de Caen's "Virtual Reconstruction of
the Ancient Rome" website:

http://www.unicaen.fr/rome/anglais/index2.html

The structures which have been virtually reconstructed thus far
include the Flavian Colosseum, the Horologium, the Ara Pacis, the
Curia, the Temple of Venus and Rome, the Temple of Hadrian, the Forum
Boarium, the Temple of Portunus, and the Basilica Aemilia. The site
also includes a tour of Paul Bigot's plaster model of Rome in the
fourth century C.E.

It is now official, I am a Quaestor! :-) I have posted my pic and the
pic of a gens brother on the Quaestor list. Who should I e-mail them
to to get my picture and my gens brother's pic placed on our page,
and myself listed with the other Quaestors.

On a side note...it is VERY nice to see everyone talking to each
other on the main list, and not trying to chomp each other's head
off! :-)

We all know the men of ancient Rome, but what about the women?
Empresses, aristocrats, priestesses, businesswomen, and domestic slaves
alike all played a vital role in the sophisticated and multicultural
urban milieu of ancient Rome, and their lives and artistic
representations are examined through an eight-week seminar.

AllLearn.org welcomes members of NovaRoma to participate in eClavdia,
a personal enrichment course combining reading, Web-based discussion,
and multimedia lectures on CD-ROM. Click on the link below to get a

Subject: [Nova-Roma] Ludi Florales Trivia Contest -- Day 1
From: Bill Gawne <gawne@cesmail.net>
Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2003 10:41:26 -0400
Attention! This is the first installment of the Ludi Florales Trivia
Contest. To participate in the contest, you must send the answers to
the following five trivia questions to: gawne @ cesmail . net
(I've added spaces between the items in that address so that Yahoo's
address munging scheme won't hide it from you, in case you read the
Nova-Roma list via the Yahoo website.) Please include
"Ludi Florales Trivia Contest" in the subject line.

Anyone who posts answers to the Nova-Roma list will be disqualified
immediately. Furthermore, if anyone does post the answers then all
replies for that day's questions will have to be disqualified. I hope
that makes it sufficiently clear that the answers are not to be
posted by anyone but me, the contest conductor.

The contest will begin today, and will last through Sunday May 4th.
There will be daily winners, and an overall cumulative winner.

And now! The questions for today:

1. What was the distinctive footwear of Roman Senators in the late Republic?

2. What city did Rome fight against in the Punic wars?

3. Which city was furthest from Rome: Alexandria on the Nile, Gades, or
Palmyra?

4. In what year were the first Curule Aediles elected?

5. What was the distinctive mark of a member of the Ordo Equester?

Salve Illustrus Quaestor,

sorry for the delay, I received your private e-mail but I hadn't the
time to answer. Now I have it! :-)

To publish your name in the list of Magistrates I think you have to
contact the Illustrus Curator Araneum Octavius Pius or Illustrus
Marcus Octavius Germanicus.
For the pics, please send me them with your ID numebers, I'll
publish them tonight.

Yes, I agree, this should be the best way to discuss. I hope it will
continue for a long time :-)
