    Roman Cooking- in house link
        At the Subrostrani group right here in Rome, the members have started a board for Roman cooking. Although it has just begun, I'm sure it will soon be loaded with recipes, links, tips, etc.

    Come and visit HERE

    Roman State Religion
        There is a very interesting discussion starting on Roman State Religion at Religio Romana. I would especially like to point out this post on Greek and Roman (religious) festivals in March by Josephia Flavius. Very interesting and comprehensive - check it out!
        ~ Maximius Flavius
    The Evolution of a Dictator
        Julius Caesar had enormous impact on the history of Rome. His assassination basically ended the Republic, and paved the way for the Imperial Regime.

    At one of our most popular groups, Aedes Divii Julii, there is a great discussion going on about J.Caesar. Check it out, and pay particular attention to the posts about Caesar's Populares roots, like this one from Cimon Aristocratos.
        ~ maia Nestor
    Roman Women and Housing
        Two new, interesting discussions have started on the Subura board and added to the Roman History listing: Women in Antiquity and Roman Housing. These topics have been there only for a couple of days now, but already gathered a lot of interest. Do check them out!
        ~ Maximius Flavius
    Visual Arts and Music
        A new group for discussion on visual arts (paintings, mosaics, sculpture), music, as well as pottery and glass has been started: Ars Romana. It is under construction at the moment, but will most certainly be one of the most interesting Roman history boards!
        ~ Maximius Flavius
    Let's Talk Tacitus
        Over at the Brittania group, there is a very lively discussion going on about Tacitus, and a mention of the Gask Project. Interest piqued? You want to know just what the Gask Project is and what they are saying about Tacitus? Go check it out:
    Tacitus Discussion

    New Group in Rome
        and this one deals with women in antiquity. It's historical with some rp, and it's not limited to Roman women. The group, Vita Feminae Antiqua, was started by Roma's very own justina Cassius, and although at the time of my writing, it's about half an hour old and already attracting citizens! Come take a look at VFA!

    Aztec does Roman names!
        On the board, Roman names, created by our very own Maximius Flavius (known affectionately as Max the Glorious), Xolotl Huascar has been giving us the origins of the most famous Roman names. Cassius, Fabius, Livius, Caesar, even Scaevola- all these and more. And HERE it is!

    MORE Roman cooking
        For those with consuming (ack! Call the pun police!) interest in ancient cookery, check out Josephia Flavius’ latest contributions to Vita Feminea Antiqua’s thread about Ancient Cookery. From Apicus to sauces to Roman measurements, our Jo has certainly done her homework per usual. Her four posts, done appropriately enough on Easter Sunday, (is there anyone STILL hungry?) can be found On This Thread.


        ~ maia Nestor
    Pax Romana (27 BC - 193 AD)
        Please be sure to check out Pax Romana, a new Roman history group at AncientWorlds!

    Rome has many wonderful theme-based Roman history groups, but we also wish to foster discussion on events and time periods. The idea is that theme-based discussion is conducted in groups already in existence (such as groups for Roman law, or arts, or religion), but the Pax Romana is the second group (in addition to the Aedeis Divii Julii group) in a series of about four groups that will cover all the time periods of Roman history!


        ~ Maximius Flavius
    Cults of the Roman Military
       

    An interesting and active discussion of Epona on the Cults of the Roman Military section of Religio Romana.


        ~ Nantonos Aedui
    "Histories of History" - Discuss Roman Historiography, Especially Ancient
        A discussion on Histories of History has been started recently at the Fundamina Romae group. The idea is to discuss the classical historians, for example credibility and style, as well as more modern historiography. Do pay a visit to the board and add to the discussion!
