Societas Via Romana - Discussion Archives

I hereby announce my candidacy as rogator. This is a vital position for the continued health of the Societas and one which I plan to fulfil with dedication and attention to detail. I have just served as praetor last year; that has been my only office since I joined SVR.

Welcome Danielle! I am enjoying your erudite posts!

Vale,

My supporting two candidates is part of my scheme to sow confusion among the Dionysian ranks! They will so weaken themselves through infighting that other gentes will sail to victory!

Support all candidates of the gens Aurelia: We are your only bulwark against the evil Dionysians!!!

I declare my support for the candidacy of Gn. Dionysius Draco Invictus as Consul!

More congratulations to my teammate!

Callidus' sponsor, Tergestus

I would think that today's GOP (Grand Old Party, or Republican party for anyone unfamiliar with the nickname) are closer to the "optimates" than the "populares". Maybe a good discusssion for the History Collegium.

I don't know of any off hand, but I suggest that you go to the following site for latin inscriptions and search for "gallos", "galli", etc. Best of luck!

Salve Piscine,

Congratulations on your promotion to Tribunus Augusticlavus!

Incidentally, Ferrill's book is not among Luttwak's references, so it may have been published later. Luttwak's book is quite old, having first been published in 1976.

Thanks Piscine. I was unaware of Ferrill's book and will look it up.

Really Alexander, a portrait of a mere Macedonian as your avatar? Actually a Roman copy of a portrait of a mere Macedonian? Surely you could do better, especially after your recent trip to your homeland?
