{{Cultus Task Force|Member}}

==Neptunus article==
Cato rewrote the article with old, dated material material, Lentule can you give us the article after your last edit & without Cato's edits? There is really wrong info there...I'd read the latest study in Italian on this cultus...[[User:Marca Hortensia Maior|Marca Hortensia Maior]]

==Copyright Expiration==
Lentulus has the copyright for the Crapsey book expired? In the U.S it is the writer's life plus 70 years. What about Europe? Also Cato's articles need citations and are his photos ok? Meaning I upload mine via persmission of the Vroma archive.....

==Source for image?==

Lentule, you uploaded [[:Image:Templum Concordiae.jpg|this image]] but did not cite a source. We need to be careful about copyright, so could you add the source to the image description and mention why you think it is safe to use? Many thanks! [[User:M. Lucretius Agricola|Agricola]] 02:26, 18 October 2008 (CEST)

==Daily Photo==

Salve! You can't really edit Template:HU:DailyPhoto directly. It is created automatically every day, so any change you make will be lost. Instead, edit [[NovaRoma:DailyPhotoData]]. I think you can see how that page works... it holds the captions for every language. [[User:M. Lucretius Agricola|Agricola]] 02:43, 19 March 2008 (CET)

==How to do a summary include==

Salve! I see that on the aedes Concordiae page, you are pulling in the whole article [[Concordia]]. That is fine, but I want to show you an alternative that you might like. This is how to bring in only part of an article, and then to have a link to the entire article. First, use <nowiki> <onlyinclude> and </onlyinclude></nowiki> to mark the part of Concordia that you want to use. Instead of using '''<nowiki>{{:Concordia}} </nowiki>''' to bring in the whole article, use '''<nowiki>{{Include summary|Concordia}} </nowiki>'''. You will get just the part that you marked and there will be an automatic link to the entire article. We use this on all the Main Pages. Please feel free to use this or not, and if you have any trouble or questions, please contact me. [[User:M. Lucretius Agricola|Agricola]] 02:30, 2 March 2008 (CET)

==Please wait on the HU pages==

Salve Lentule! Please wait a bit before creating more HU pages. We have not created the HU namespace yet. So although it looks like you have pages in the HU namespace, you are actually creating pages in the MAIN namespace with titles that all befin "HU:". I know it is a subtle difference, but an important one. For example, the templates that are globalized so that they work in all namespaces won't work for Hungarian because the Hungarian pages are not actually "in" an HU namespace. [[User:M. Lucretius Agricola|Agricola]] 14:37, 21 December 2007 (CET)

==Fourfold way==

Salve! Thank you for helping, but please remember to follow all steps of the Fourfold Way:

== Changes of Language ==

Salve amice

I saw that you have changed pages, you have redirect to Category:ES:Apparitores (Nova Roma) but Category:Apparitores (Nova Roma) have not languagebar and is not translated I think that we need first translate the pages before redirect other to it.

Vale

--[[User:Marcus Curiatius Complutensis|Complutensis]] 09:18, 11 June 2008 (CEST)

THe problem is the redirections to uninesistent pages......we need check before, put the language bar, and the templates for translation It helps.

Vale

--[[User:Marcus Curiatius Complutensis|Complutensis]] 20:12, 12 June 2008 (CEST)

Salve

the original page was created with a space, after all pages create from it have the same space

Vale

==Uncapping Latin words==

Thank you for uncapping words in many articles. Please just add a little note in the summary, just "uncapping words" would be fine. Ago tibi gratias. [[User:M. Lucretius Agricola|Agricola]] 05:47, 18 July 2008 (CEST)

==Latin phrasebook==

Please take note of [[Latin for e-mail]] [[User:M. Lucretius Agricola|Agricola]] 09:40, 22 July 2008 (CEST)

I think it is best to put things in just one place each. We should think of the phrase book as a kind of "walking around" guide. If we put in everything we can think of it will become too large to be useful. The e-mail page is a tutorial, but the additional things can be added at the end. I'll do that tomorrow afternoon, right after I give my exams. o.v.! [[User:M. Lucretius Agricola|Agricola]] 11:29, 22 July 2008 (CEST)

==Magyar translation please==

Salve Lentule! Could you please write here the translation of "Ancient Rome" in Magyar? It is so I can create a category under Category:Magyar. Many thanks! [[User:M. Lucretius Agricola|Agricola]] 05:45, 8 August 2008 (CEST)

==Toga==

Lets put your discussion of the development of the toga at [[Toga]]. Keep the images as thumbs please and add whatever references you can. Thanks! [[User:M. Lucretius Agricola|Agricola]] 15:09, 18 August 2008 (CEST)

==Template==

Lentule, let me put your position open and position not open templates together. We can use a little bit of logic and a parameter so that you will only need one. Also notice that for example [[Template:Year_magistracy_NR]] has logic built in so that it automatically says ''nemo'' when no office holder is specified. Actually, we have a lot of this kind of [[:Category:Templates|template]] already, we may already have one that you can use. Tell me where you want to use it and I'll tell you if we have a suitable one. [[User:M. Lucretius Agricola|Agricola]] 16:40, 8 September 2008 (CEST)

==Priests==

I just looked at [[Priests (Nova Roma)]] and it is a disaster. Compare it with [[Collegium Pontificum (Nova Roma)]] and you will note that we already have the tables set up elsewhere. All of this needs to be sorted out so that the tables exist in exactly one place. For example, we can include more information about the flaminates in [[Template:Table Flamines]], and then include that whole thing in the Priests page. With a little planning we can create a system that uses [[Template:Global]] and [[Template:GlobalText]] so that we will only have to update this information in one place for all articles and all languages. (You can get an idea of how it works by looking at [[MMDCCLXI]] and [[FR:MMDCCLXI]] et cetera. They all include the magistrate info from one template. [[User:M. Lucretius Agricola|Agricola]] 17:11, 8 September 2008 (CEST)
:Well done! I'll look at all of the associated pages later and we can see if there are any things that we need to GLOBALIZE or that we need to link to the PORTAL. Ago tibi gratias! [[User:M. Lucretius Agricola|Agricola]] 00:08, 9 September 2008 (CEST)

== Latin plurals in English articles ==

I noticed that you changed "praetores" (nom.pl. and acc.pl.) to "praetorii" (dat.sg.) in the "Lex Popillia senatoria" article. I know only a very tiny fraction of the Latin you know, but I am curious: isn't "praetor" third declension masculine? If so, wasn't "praetores" correct, as it was basically being used as the accusative plural in "They shall sublect...praetor[es]"? "Praetorii" being the dative singular, correct? Maximas gratias tibi ago for your great work!
:Salve Ahenobarbe. Permit me to answer for Lentulus. He changed ''praetor, praetoris'' 3rd declention meaning a praetor, to ''praetorius, praetorii'', 2nd declension meaning one who has been praetor. The nom. plural is ''praetorii''. A former censor is censorius etc. [[User:M. Lucretius Agricola|Agricola]] 05:53, 27 September 2008 (CEST)

==Move better than Create and Delete==

Salve Lentule, Looking over the delete requests, I see sometimes a MOVE would have been better than creating a new page and deleting the old one. For example, "Fasti Censorii (Nova Roma)" should have been moved to "Fasti censorii (Nova Roma)". When you use delete and create, you also lose all of the old page history. If you can't do the move yourself, just contact me and I will do it. That is far simpler than using deletes. Also, a MOVE automatically leaves behind a redirect from the old title to the new one, so that links are not broken. I sometimes go through the redirects to fix the double redirects, but that is little trouble. Many thanks! [[User:M. Lucretius Agricola|Agricola]] 07:22, 29 October 2008 (CET)

== Style Guide ==

Amice, I don't know if you saw, but some months ago I posted to [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NRWiki the NRWiki mailing list] some thoughts on the [[NovaRoma:Style Guide|style guide]], since it hadn't been discussed in years. If you could review my comments there, as well as the examples I put in [[User:Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius Postumianus/Sandbox|my sandbox]], I think it could really help in keeping up academic quality and professionalism in the wiki. Plurimas gratias ago! -- [[User:Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius Postumianus|Q·CAEC·MET·POST]] 02:44, 4 November 2009 (CET)

==[[Mola salsa]]==

[[Spelt]] or emmer? I think emmer, actually. It is made difficult by the many vernacular terms in our many languages. /\⁄\ |_ ⁄·\ 23:32, 15 January 2010 (CET)

Neptunus

2010-04-15T19:21:51Z

Marca Hortensia Maior:

{{LanguageBar | Neptunus }}

'''Neptunus''' (Neptune) is the Roman God of the sea and still waters. His name is derived from the Etruscan Nepthuns. His major festival is the ''Neptunalia'', celebrated in ''[[Roman dates|Quintilis]]''. For a time he was paired with Salacia, the goddess of the salt water. At an early date (899 BC) he was identified with Poseidon, when the Sibylline books ordered a lectisternium in his honour (Livy v. 13). In the earlier times it was the god Portunes or Fortunus who was thanked for naval victories, but Neptune supplanted him in this role by at least the first century BC when Sextus Pompeius called himself "son of Neptune". Neptune is associated as well with fresh water, as opposed to Oceanus, god of the world-ocean. Like Poseidon, Neptune was also worshipped by the Romans as a god of horses, under the name ''Neptune Equester'', patron of horse-racing. The planet Neptune was named after the god, as its deep blue gas clouds gave early astronomers the impression of great oceans.

As god of the sea, it is likely that Neptunus was also connected to merchants and to trade generally. He is also found in the first ''[[lectisternium]]'', mentioned with [[Mercurius]], which also gives credence to this connection with trade and merchants.

==Festivals==

===Neptunalia===

The ''Neptunalia'' is celebrated {{Jul 23}}. Very little is known about the celebrations that took place on this day, or about the cult which would have celebrated it. About the celebrations of the day, Fowler <ref>Fowler, W. W. The Roman Festivals of the Period of the Republic: An introduction to the study of the religion of the Romans (ISBN 1402148577)</ref> says that huts or booths of foliage were set up by the ''cultores'', but this only to protect those who came to worship Neptunus on that day.

Its placement in mid-Summer suggests also the connection with trade, particularly trade by sea, from an astronomical view. In light of the fact that the Moon is at its farthest distance from Earth at this time, waves would have been significantly less than at other times of the year, which would be favourable to any sea-based trade. This would have been an optimal time to propitiate Neptunus in the hopes that he would continue to keep the waves minimised, allowing easier and more successful trade.

This also connects to agriculture. This festival is placed in enough time before the harvest to allow cultores to attempt to propitiate Neptunus such that, when the time comes, farmers will be able to harvest their crops successfully and use them at the markets to trade and barter. The favour of Neptunus would be essential to allow goods from other parts of the Mediterranean to reach Rome and all of Italy safely, something which the agricultural community of early Italy would have desired more than not.

==Temples, Priests, and Cult==

Just as there is little known about the ''Neptunalia'', there is just as little known about his cult at Rome and throughout Italy. There is no known priest of Neptunus as sponsored by the State (as, for example, the Flamines).
:During the Empire, there is evidence of ''un flamen'' at Henchir-Ouradi near Bizacena (modern Tunisia), ''sacerdotes Neptuni'' in Numidia , amd a ''cultor'' all from Africa, a ''sacerdos Neptuni'' at Corinth, and ''magistri Neptunales'' at Delos.

In popular religion Neptune protected men and women from dangers from the sea and lakes. And prayed to for ''salus'' - life, welfare and ''incolumitas'' - safety. Yet as the god of moving and still waters, he was also worshiped on the inland of Italy as numerous examples of epigpraphy attest.

He was also called upon by farmers so the running waters, streams, rivers,would not dry out during the hot season of summer and by fishermen. His epithets were ''Pater'' -venerable, ''Adiutor'' - helper, ''Redux'' - who brings men back. He probably was also seen as a god who promoted vegetation, and during Imperial times, called upon for sea victories.

Neptune, unlike Greek Poseidon was never associated with horses, though his inland worshipers may have associated him with fruitfulness ''pythalmios'' and earthquakes.
