Societas Via Romana - Discussion Archives

Salvete amici! It has been a while since I last visited this forum and I feel I have been away from these nice people here for too long. I would like to apologize for that, and I would like to say that I am now planning to stay active here. What has happened? Well, in September 2005 I graduat...

Salvete! This is what I found on the internet: Eisinger, J., "Lead and wine: Eberhard Gockel and the 'colica Pictonum' ", Medical History, 26 (1982): 278-302. It's from a bibliography on "Lead and the fall of Rome": http://www.nipissingu.ca/department/history/MUHLBERGER/ORB/LEAD.HTM ...

Salvete! "The first black Roman emperor", it could be the title of a new 'book' by Von Däniken... Some points that we should take in consideration when discussing this matter: * The original inhabitants (Berbers) of the North African coasts were 'civilized' by Phoenicians from the cities of...

Salve Menci! dude.... :? Your post is of rather contradictory nature... sigh :wink: You say that you wouldn't put the label Roman music on it, and then you state that it's the closest you can get to Roman music. Hence my :?: ... How do you know that???? Agreed, I should have added 'p...

Salve Tergeste!

Many many congratulations!!!

I wish the little one all the best in life!

Vale bene

Salvete! So, Mus, do you like David Marshall's CD or not? You left us without a recommendation! Well, I find it very difficult to judge the cd... I like the music and singing on the cd, but there is so much 'guessing' involved that one can not be sure that this is how Roman music really sou...

Salvete! This CD sounds very interesting, too. But it's very very expensive - 25 Euros!!! Usually a CD shouldn't cost more than 15 Euros, unless it is a double album. I have this cd at home. For us, Belgians, this is not at all that expensive... But I must confess that I also order most of m...

Gegroet mijne heren!

Ik ben terug present, na de thesiswerkzaamheden, de examens, Graspop en enkele dagen bekomen van Graspop (met helaas een kleine buikgriep of zoiets...).

Valete!

Salvete! Does anyone here know where (part of) the famous votive inscriptions from the temple of Asklepios in Epidaurus are published (with the dreams and how the people were cured by the god)? I need a book or a part of a series to use as a reference in a footnote. Thanks in advance Valete...

Salve Draco! http://www.theoi.com/Okeanos/Glaukos.html This site has translations to (all?) classical authors who wrote about the deity. Thanx to our friend Orcus, who once directed me to this wonderful site. BTW, I have one of Dan Simmons' books at home (in Dutch). The title is simply 'Hyp...

Salve Quinte!

Thank you very much for the information!!

Vale bene

Salvete!

Can someone tell me which classical author(s) left us the story on Bellerophon and Pegasos, and the story of Ino and Melikertes?

Thank you all in advance!

Valete bene

Salvete! I am searching for the text and translation of a papyrus called Feriale Duranum = P.Dur(a) n° 54 = Corpus Papyrorum Latinorum n° 324. I tried Google, but I did not find the text and translation. I also tried the papyri database at Perseus, but the text is not there either (although...

Salvete! Besides my notes for the upcoming exam on Medieval culture, there a lot of books on my desk and near my bed: - Ian Christe: "Sound of the beast, the headbanging history of heavy metal" - Mick St. Michael: "Heavy metal" (in a Dutch translation) - John Fordham: "Jazz" (in a Dutch transl...

Salvete! Publius Dionysius Mus speaking, also known as Dennis Temmerman. I live in Evergem, a town just north of the beautiful medieval city of Ghent. I study History at the university of Ghent (specializing in Classical History of course..., and loving it!). I am now in my last year, and I am...

Salvete! After taking a course this year about Babylonian, Sumerian and Akkadian religion, I would go for the beauty of these languages. As an example, I give you the first lines of "Enuma Elish", also called "The History Of Creation", in a translation by L.W King (1902). The complete text can...

Gegroet!

Valete bene

Salvete! Censor Quintus Claudius Locatus Barbatus has asked me to pass this message to the Societas: as you may know, he is in Berlin for four months for school. But until now, he still hasn't got any internet access, so he is not able to follow the Societas forum and perform his duties. But he h...

Salvete And it keeps going down with me... I am very sorry to announce that there will be no more gladiator games this year. I have trouble finding enough time to organise them. But I promise we will be back next year, hopefully for a year full of gladiator action. To Curio: you warrior fro...

Salvete! As you may have noticed, there are still no gladiator games... I have to apologize for this, but this week I simply don't have the time to organise these games. I am currently very busy organising a swimming contest in our local pool, and this takes up almost all of my spare time. But...
