Well, *that* was weird.
I would like to see a bit of info about Agrippina Augusta, not sparing the iffy parts. I can't speak for anyone else; but she's got a bit of an image problem in my corner, which I am willing to overcome, but only with good reason. You plainly think quite a bit of the lady. So do many of our Sodales, some of whom have taken her name. Some of us do not. That's fine; people do differ on these things; and we will not question the validity of your opinion if you do not question ours.
As for deifying her, forming a cult around her...most of us have our own religions, ones with fairly lengthy traditions in many cases. A look at the names hereabouts will reveal a tendency towards the Republican era, and Republican Rome declared no man (or woman) a God.
I'd be interested in a discussion of Roma's "feminine power and virtue", if you'd care to start one. I have not heard Roma described in these terms, and am curious to know what they mean.
I do hope you return to read this, mi Terti; we are not a 'discordant' lot, only ladies and gents who can agree to disagree. Welcome to our Forum; I hope you enjoy your stay!
In fide,

Thank you for your considered reply and especially your desire to lower the "polemic" tone of this correspondence. SVR values civic discourse.
I think that some of the misunderstanding arose because of the perception that you are advocating that Aggripina be deified by the Societas as a whole. I think, rather, that you are simply interested in finding whether there are sodales who would like to join you in recognizing her as divine and perhaps worshipping her. Am I right?
