<p> To think on our ancient annual rythmn is not unuseful, for it let us remind of the origin of some festivals and special days on our current Roman calendar. Thus on the Lupercalia on last Mid February, or on the mobile day of Fornicalia which were both closing the previous old year, specially along with the Quirinalia and Feria Stultorum, the Festival of the Mads. Thus also on Equirria, which announce the close Kalends of March, and the renewing of the year, of the spring, of the strenghts of individuals and of Roman communities, from the family to the State. And naturally, March is placed under the sign of... Mars, the god of war. Inside the ancient god triad Jupiter-Mars-Quirinus, Mars and Quirinus were their mirror each other, they were complementary of a global whole deity whose Jupiter, Dius Pater, was the joining and embrassing meeting point and pot.</p>

    Salvete Galli!

    July has passed with its first summer activities, its new family events.

    Sextilis is coming with holidays, specially in Europe and Gallia.

    But Sextilis will overall be the month of the Conventus Novae Romae. Last year scheduled in Spain (Hispania) and finally cancelled, the yearly event has been organized by our dynamic friends of Dacia, the current Rumania.

    The Conventus will thus take place from the 30th of July to the 4th of August, mainly in Baile Herculane, a beautiful village in the western part of Rumania, near the Serbian border and the Danube.

    Though the Dacian organizing team lead by Leg. pp. T. Iulius Sabinus seems having well organized things and specially the housing and the visits, meeting other Novaromans will be the most important time of the Conventus. Rumanians and Hungarians will be there, along with Italians and Finnish, a few U.S. citizens, including our Consul Marcus Moravius Piscinus, and M. Lucretius Agricola, coming from Japan.

    Both consuls will be there, one tribune, two aediles, several senators... : here a good cast to have interesting discussions.

    This is why these kind of events are precious, for meeting physically people is the best way understanding each other and being able to build and develop projects together.
