At one point I thought it was a replica of that of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aule_Metele">Aulus Metellus</a> (The Orator) but the hand is in a different position plus my statue has a Pompeian type sword attached. Can not tell if it is a replica of something known, but being produced in the nineteenth century, is an exciting part of my collection.<br />

Before all else, I pray for your good health, which is my wish, since I revere you next to the gods; but this has troubled me, that I have very often written to you through Saturninus the signifer, likewise through Iulianus the son of Longinus and [[through Dios]], and not yet have you answered me concerning your health. But nevertheless, now that you have been asked, do you give your attention necessarily before all else to writing to me concerning your health. A number of times I asked Longinus, who brings you the letter, to take something for you, and he refused, saying that he was unable [to take anything]; but I want you to know that Domitius the armicustos(?) [took a long a basket in which] there was a . . . for you. Things are [going well for me. After] Sarapis [conducted me hither] in safety, while others . . . all day long were cutting building stones and doing other things, until today I endured none of these hardships; but indeed I asked Claudius Severus the consularis to make me a secretary on his own staff and he said, "There is no vacancy, but meanwhile I shall make you a secretary of the legion with hopes of advancement." With this assignment, therefore, I went from the consularis of the legion to the cornicularius. If then, you love me, you will straightway take pains to write me concerning your health and, if you are anxious about me, to send me linen garments through Sempronius, for merchants come to us from Pelusium every day. I shall take pains, as soon as the prefect (of the province?) begins to grant furloughs, to come to you immediately. Volusius Proclus salutes you, as do Longinus Paccius, Valerius Sempronius, Valerius Herma . . ., Iulius Priscus, Apollinarius . . . ion, and all their comrades. Salute Iulia my lady sister, likewise Sarapias and my mother, my grandmother Sambathion, Thermouthis and her children, the father of Paccius, and all your colleagues individually, and those at home. I pray for your good health. The 10th year of Trajan, our lord, Phamenoth 30.<br />I am grateful to Volusius and Longinus Barbarus. You will tell the firm of Aphrodas, the son of the condiment dealer, that they enrolled me in the cohort at Bostra. It lies 8 days' journey from Petra and . . .<br />(Verso) . . . soldier . . ."T.

It was one of the greatest Roman army disaster. Three legions, many cohorts of auxilary troops and squadrons of cavalry were destroyed in that battle against the alliance of the Germanic tribes. Around 15000 - 20000 Roman soldiers died including their commander P. Quinctilius Varrus. According to Suetonius, upon hearing of the defeat, the Emperor Augustus repeatedly shouting: "Quintili Vare, legiones redde!" (Quintilius Varus, give me back my legions!).<br />More details about the battle are in this article from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Teutoburg_Forest">Wikipedia</a>.<br /><br />A few years ago I found on the internet this poem about the battle. Unfortunately I don't remember the author.<br /><br /><strong>Deep in the forest the legions are lost!</strong><br /><br />"The clamor of armor and brass,<br />the joyful perfection of youth and geometry,<br />of order and open space, is muffled beneath<br />the obscure chaos of indifferent branches<br />and enveloping gloom: deep in the forest,<br />the legions are lost.<br /><br />How young we were,<br />and glorious, when in the full sun of<br />Roman days, we sought an Empire of Reason,<br />rather than a reason for Empire.<br />How old we are now, with arms too leaden<br />to embrace either a man or an ideal.<br /><br />The forest is inscrutable, and whispers<br />the foreign words of wind through insensible leaves.<br />An occasional messenger, lame and thin,<br />brings news of battles, but in another place,<br />sometime already past.<br /><br />His eyes are filled<br />with shadows. He says little we do not already know:<br />Deep in the forest, the legions are lost."T.

The fort, initially built of wood on stone foundations, was garrisoned with 5000 auxiliary troops transferred from Spain, Gaul and Britain. Even though the name Porolissum appears to be Dacian in origin, archaeologists have so far uncovered no evidence of a Dacian settlement preceding the Roman fort.<br />In the following decades, the fort was enlarged and rebuilt in stone (possibly under the reign of Marcus Aurelius), and a civilian settlement developed around the military center. When Hadrian created the new province Dacia Porolissensis (named for the now sizable city) in 124, Porolissum became the administrative center of the province. Under emperor Septimius Severus, the city was granted municipium, allowing its leaders and merchants to act independently. Although the Romans withdrew from Dacia in 271 under Aurelian and the city was abandoned by its founders, archaeological evidence shows that it remained inhabited for several centuries afterwards.<br />Even though the city was founded as a military center in the middle of a war, the garrison of Porolissum seems to have lived in peaceful coexistence with their Dacian neighbours - several Dacian villages that were apparently founded after the city of Porolissum have been uncovered by archaeologists on the surrounding hills. There are also some inscriptions mentioning city officials with Romano-Dacian names, indicating close cooperation on a political level.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>SPQR:</strong></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">Cohors I Brittonum Milliaria Ulpia Torquata Pia Fidelis Civium Romanorum.</div><div align="center">Cohors V Lingorum.</div><div align="center">Numerus Palmyrenorum Porolissensium Sagittariorum Civium Romanorum.</div><div align="center">( Ala Palmirenorum Porolissensium)</div><div align="center">Cohors I Palmirenorum Porolisensium.</div><div align="center">***</div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.dacia-novaroma.org/porolissum.htm"><span style="color:#660000;">Roman Days - Porolissum</span></a></div>T.

<strong>Roman God Mercurius.</strong><br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
Mercurius is the God of commerce. The guild of merchants honored Mercurius at his temple near the Circus Maximus on his festival on May 15. They also sprinkled themselves and their merchandise with sacred water in a ceremony at the Capena Gate. When Mercurius became identified with Hermes, he took on the duties of messenger of the Gods, Psychopompus who guides the souls of the dead through the Underworld, and God of sleep and dreams. He also became God of thieves and trickery, owing to a trick he had played on Apollo by stealing and hiding the Sun God's cattle. His serpent-twined staff, the caduceus, was originally a magician's wand for wealth (which may be why it is the symbol of the medical profession) but became identified later as a herald's staff. But Mercurius has many aspects, attributes, names and epithets...</div>

The praetorian prefect Cornelius Fuscus led five or six legions across the Danube on a bridge of ships and advanced towards Banat. The Romans were surprised by a Dacian attack at Tapae. Legion V Alaude was crushed and Cornelius Fuscus was killed. In the year 88, the Romans resumed the offensive. The Roman troops were now led by the general Tettius Iulianus. The battle took place again at Tapae but this time the Romans defeated the Dacians. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;"></span> </div><div align="left"><span

align="center">Each morning when he awakes<br />Fuscus fetches his armor,<br />Dutifully, as each and every time<br />Then, now, like any soldier.<br /><br />Then his eyes look over the field on which<br />Rocks and trees, arrows and stones lay<br />Ordered in a way so difficult to understand<br />Still the same, after so many years.<br /><br />The actant of an eternal ritual<br />Looking at his harsh hands, he comes<br />And stone by stone, rock by rock<br />He carefully places them where they belong in the mountain.<br /><br />And with every stone, every log<br />Another comrade shows himself from behind the clouds<br />And Fuscus’ heart beats faster and faster<br />While his soul mourns for them.<br /><br />Confident and fiery he carves his steps in the stones<br />Up and down and going up and down again<br />With his back bending,<br />His brow almost touching the earth.<br /><br />The dacians are used to his presence<br />They almost do not mind him,<br />They are as he is wandering shadows on a battlefield<br />Living their drama until the dusk.<br /><br />One winter they gave him a warm fur<br />To cover his body against the cold.<br />And they gave him a wood mace carved with ancestral signs<br />To be helpful on his never-ending path.<br /><br />And so tries Fuscus to rebuild his dream<br />With every stone he gives back to the mountain<br />The legion comes back to life and with their shields raised<br />They hail, friendly salute him.<br /><br />In the evening they gather there, strange shadows<br />All those with whom he had began his journey<br />And others come whom he doesn’t even know<br />Form his legion or maybe from Tetius’s.<br /><br />As in a perpetual legend everything is placed and settled<br />And each morning it begins again<br />A different Sisyphus here in the Valley of Cerna ,<br />The hero of a myth which he did not trust while being alive.<br /><br />Only one vision remains when in the evening<br />He sits down tired and

Julius Caesar formed a Legio XIII in 57 B.C. as part of his army to conquer Gaul. The legion fought with Caesar at Gergovia in 52 B.C. and, during the Civil Wars, at Pharsalus (48 B.C.), Uzita (47 B.C.), and Thapsus (46 B.C.). Caesar discharged his veterans from Legio XIII in 45 B.C. and gave them plots of land where they could enjoy a well deserved retirement.<br />Augustus, then only Octavian, re-formed Legio XIII in 41 B.C. with new recruits and some of Caesar's old veterans who remembered that Octavian was Caesar's heir. The legion campaigned with Octavian against Sextus Pompeius and was with Octavian for the final battle against Marcus Antonius and Cleopatra at Actium in 31 B.C.<br />After Actium, Octavian reorganized the Roman army. It was then that Legio XIII received its cognomen Gemina meaning that legionaries from several other units had been combined with it. Legio XIII kept its unit symbol, the lion, and still thought of itself as one of Caesar's finest.<br />XIII Gemina's first posting under Augustus was at Burnum (modern Kistanje) on the Adriatic coast of Croatia from 30-16 B.C. During Tiberius' campaign to conquer the Alpine regions, it moved to Emona (now Llubljana) in Slovenia. Between 6 and 9 A.D., XIII Gemina was part of the great Roman army assembled to crush the Pannonian and Illyrian uprising.<br />In 9 A.D., the Rhine frontier exploded when the German tribes ambushed a Roman expedition and destroyed Varus and his 3 legions. XIII Gemina left Emona and was transferred to Augusta Vindelica (Augsburg) in Germany to replace a legion sent to restore the Rhine frontier. From Augusta Vindelica, the legion moved to Vindonissa (now Windisch) in Switzerland in 16 A.D. to build a new base to protect the Alpine passes from any German threat.<br />Claudius invaded Britain in 43 A.D. with an army that included one legion from Pannonia. XIII Gemina was sent from Vindonissa to Poetovio (Ptuj) in Slovenia to replace that legion. This was XIII Gemina's home until 89 A.D. although the legion was part of the army that fought for Otho against Vitellius in Italy in 69 A.D., and afterwards campaigned along the Rhine under Cerialis to bring law and order to Germania.<br />In the 80's A.D., the Dacians and Sarmatians flooded across the Danube to loot and burn in Pannonia and Moesia. XIII Gemina moved from Poetovio up to the Danube and built the first Roman base at Vindobonna (Vienna) in Austria. The legion fought in the Sarmatian campaign in 92 A.D. and helped conquer Dacia for Trajan. Its reward was to be the principle garrison legion in the newly won province. XIII Gemina was then based at <a href="http://www.apulum.ro/en/istoria.htm"><span style="color:#990000;">Apulum </span></a>(Alba Iulia) in Romania from 106 A.D. until 268 A.D. From time to time, it was called upon to campaign in other provinces; against the Parthians under Trajan, and in Syria to put Septimius Severus on the throne in 194 A.D.<br />During the troubled times of the mid-3rd Century, the Emperor Aurelian decided that he could no longer hold Dacia against the constant attacks of the barbarian tribes. XIII Gemina had done its best to hold back the barbarian flood, but the odds were too heavy against it. The legions and the Romanized civilian population evacuated Dacia between 268 and 271 A.D. XIII Gemina, beaten and battered by years of warfare, was pulled back to Poetovio in Slovenia. There, it was reinforced and retrained. In 270 A.D., it returned to the Danube to Ratiaria (Artschav in modern Bulgaria) in the newly organized province of Dacia Ripensis.<br />XIII Gemina remained at Ratiaria until the end of the Roman Empire in the West. At the end, when the legionaries' pay and supplies had stopped coming somewhere around 400 A.D., the remnants of the legion melted away. The last of the old soldiers hung his armor on the wall and turned to farming to support his family.</span></div>T.

The theory, in this case, is represented by all historical facts, scientific accepted.<br />The study of these historical facts has a result: an opinion. Sometimes these opinions are subjective. In terms of restoration we can talk only about objectiveness. Because only being objective, this restoration is nearly historical truth.<br />And if this historical truth doesn't exist, sure, we can't talk about restoration.<br />To be more historical possible is not easy, but combined works can bring some results. These in case in which we keep the objectiveness about we have already spoken, and if we try to eliminate personal reasons.<br />Thus, from theory to practice is only a step and, they, who succeed to put the theory in practice, in fact, succeeding to give a material form of their vision.<br />Like in art !T.

More than a virtual community!<br />What a wonderful idea...especially when it has a real story: Roman society, with all that it means: constitution, laws, special interest groups, rights and duties.<br />All, with a noble and voluntary purpose: restoration of classical Roman religion, culture and virtues. A great possibility to communicate with other fans, and why not, a step for understanding the eternal question: Who we are and where we come from?<br />It's a truth that the development of this idea is in our hands. If we stay close to historical facts, all matters will work better. And historical facts, in this case, are the roman society with its institutions and laws.<br />Respect for that institutions and laws, gives the possibility of a proper society development. That is the only way in which a virtual community may become a real community in our soul.<br />But this is possible only with virtual discipline. And we can find this discipline in <a href="http://www.novaroma.org/nr/Category:Tabularium_%28Nova_Roma%29"><span style="color:#990000;">Tabularium</span></a>.T.
