| "remedium astrologi" |
| The slaves and I returned to the house with Barbillus as quickly as possible. Much blood was flowing from Barbillus' wound. Phormio, who was accustomed to heal wounded slaves, tore his own tunic; he tied part of the tunic around the shoulder of Barbillus. The slaves, who were carrying Barbillus, gently placed him upon the couch when they entered the bedroom. Two slave girls were standing near the couch crying. Phormio dismissed the slave girls from the bedroom and called the slaves to himself. "It is necessary for you," he said, " to find a great number of cobwebs. When blood flows, nothing is better than cobwebs." The slaves were hurrying through the whole house, seeking cobwebs; they were raising a great clamor. Phormio, after the slaves brought many cobwebs, put them into the master's shoulder. The astrologer saw the crying slave girls, and heard the shouting slaves. At once he erupted (burst) into Barbillus' bedroom, exclaiming: "surely I foresaw this? Oh terrible day! Oh unlucky master!" "Do you have a cure" I asked anxious. "I have a guaranteed (for certain) cure," responded the astrologer. "It is easy for me to heal Barbillus, because we astrologers are the true doctors. I am therefore able to compose a remedy for Barbillus. It is a remedy which the Chaldeans (from the Greek for Babylonians) handed (down) to us. First it is necessary for me to capture a black mouse. Then I want to cut up (dissect) the capture mouse. Lastly I want to place him in the shoulder of Barbillus. This alone is the remedy." Suddenly, Barbillus, who had heard the astrologer, opened his eyes. After he gave me a weak sign, he whispered in my ear, "find Petro, the good doctor!" Phormio, who knew Petro well, I at once sent from the house. And so (in this way) the overseer was seeking a doctor, the astrologer a mouse. |

IV. Culture. There are 7 hills in Rome: Palatine, Capitoline, Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, Cælian, and Aventine. The mnemonic for this is "Can Queen Victoria Eat Cold Apple Pie?" or "Cape QVC." Palatine was where the original settlement was located and later was the hill where Imperial Palaces were located. The word "palace" (and "palatial") came from the name of the hill Palatine. Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus on March 21st, 753 B.C. (the beginning of year one A.U.C. ) at the site where they had been rescued by the she-wolf after being thrown in the Tiber river. Their father was supposed to be Mars who had come to Rhea Silvia while she was imprisoned by her uncle in the Temple of the Vestals after overthrowing her father, the king. Their ancestor Æneas was supposed to be the son of Venus and the Trojan Anchises. All Romans ergo considered themselves to be "spiritually descended" from Venus and Mars. A.U.C. (sometimes written A.V.C.) stands for Ad Urbs Condita meaning from the founding of the city. Romans do not count "0" (that is why we count 1-10 not 0-9 and centuries 1-100 was the 1st century, etc.) Rome was founded March 21st, 753 B.C. which would be the year "0" with 1 A.U.C. being on the first anniversary of Rome's founding. The Romans called the Mediterranean Sea "mare nostrum" (our sea). The first highway was the Via Appia running from Rome southwest to Brundisium (Brindisi). This later gave us the saying “all roads lead to Rome.” The original first month of the Roman year was March. This is why February is the shortest month of the year. This was especially symbolic since March is named for Mars (the father of Romulus and Remus). Cæsar changed this during his term as dictator to benefit the recruiting of soldiers after Saturnalia and before the planting season began (around March). Even though the beginning of the year was changed many things were not: the numbered months are still based on March, many offices changed at the beginning of March, and even our Presidents originally changed (swearing in) in March until just this past century. Cæsar was a dictator not an emperor. He assumes the position of "dictator for life" to stop the cycle of civil wars and senatorial power struggles until assassinated by a group of senators (including Brutus) on the Ides of March (March 15, 44 B.C.) S.P.Q.R. is debated but basically means Senatus Populusque Romanus (The Senate and the Roman People) or Senatus Populusque Romanorum (The Senate and People of Rome). Either way it is still the official abbreviation used in Rome on public billboards, telephones and other articles under the control of the city's government (e.g. manhole covers, bus tickets, etc.). The first Emperor was Augustus (27 B.C. - 14 A.D.) who was Caesar's heir (and great nephew) as well as Marc Anthony's brother in law. His reign begins the Pax Romana. Rome's greatest Emperor. The last ("western" i.e. based in Rome) Emperor was Romulus Augustulus (475 A.D. - 476 A.D.) who surrenders to Odoacer to save Rome in 476 A.D. He leaves the Bishop of Rome in charge as "Pontifex Maximus" until he returns or order is restored. The bishop (nicknamed "poppa") is now the Pope. No one ever came to reclaim the throne legitimately so the Pope still holds the title (and power) today. Romulus Augustulus died in captivity at Ravenna. Rumors suggest he was strangled (or drowned) to finally end the threat of his restoring the Empire. The last "eastern" Emperor was Constantine XI Palæologus (1449-1453) who died in battle against the Turks defending Constantinople in May 1453. The Turks gained entry "accidentally" through an unlocked minor gate after a battle. The Emperor tried to push the intruders back, but when he realized the city was lost, tore off his insignia and charged into the Turkish forces followed by his generals. They were all beheaded (alive or posthumously) and their heads displayed. Roman government had three phases: Monarchy (753 B.C.) to Republic (509 B.C. - 27 B.C.) to Empire (27 B.C. - 476 A.D. (west = Rome) or 1453 A.D. (east = Constantinople) Rome was founded on March 21, 753 B.C. which is why the first month of the original Roman calendar was March. Cæsar moved the beginning of the year to January in the 1st century B.C. Rome fell on September 4, 476 A.D. Constantinople fell to the Turks on Tuesday May 29, 1453. ROMAN LIFE: city of Rome, e.g., Forum, Palatine Hill, Via Appia, Pantheon, Campus Martius; architectural structures and their functions, e.g., aquaeductus, thermae, circus, amphitheātrum, cūria, basilica; housing, e.g.,trīclīnium,

The exam capitalizes the first letter of sentences as if they were English so don’t be tricked or worry ... they are only doing because it is the first letter of a sentence. Double check to make sure if it is a proper noun...
esse = to be It is always irregular. After today’s discussion I thought I’d add a table showing all of the forms too.
“ne” added at the end of a verb always asks a question. Make sure to check the tense (for example “videsne” which is “vides” + “ne” means “do you see?” or “are you seeing”)
cupere = to want and is used like “volo” meaning it will be followed by an infinitive (for example “senator in Foro responder non cupit” = “The senator in the Forum does not want to respond”)

JCL Review Sheet MMX
I. Nouns You should be able to do the endings for singular and plural regular nouns from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd declensions. I have done the first one in each column for you. Remember the rhymes we made for many of these.
II. Verbs. You should be able to conjugate a regular 1st or 2nd conjugation verb in present, imperfect (past), perfect (past), and future tenses. I have done the first one in each column for you.
III. Dates/Famous events
IV. Culture. There are 7 hills in Rome: Palatine, Capitoline, Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, Cælian, and Aventine. The mnemonic for this is "Can Queen Victoria Eat Cold Apple Pie?" or "Cape QVC." Palatine was where the original settlement was located and later was the hill where Imperial Palaces were located. The word "palace" (and "palatial") came from the name of the hill Palatine. Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus on March 21st, 753 B.C. (the beginning of year one A.U.C. ) at the site where they had been rescued by the she-wolf after being thrown in the Tiber river. Their father was supposed to be Mars who had come to Rhea Silvia while she was imprisoned by her uncle in the Temple of the Vestals after overthrowing her father, the king. Their ancestor Æneas was supposed to be the son of Venus and the Trojan Anchises. All Romans ergo considered themselves to be "spiritually descended" from Venus and Mars. A.U.C. (sometimes written A.V.C.) stands for Ad Urbs Condita meaning from the founding of the city. Romans do not count "0" (that is why we count 1-10 not 0-9 and centuries 1-100 was the 1st century, etc.) Rome was founded March 21st, 753 B.C. which would be the year "0" with 1 A.U.C. being on the first anniversary of Rome's founding. The Romans called the Mediterranean Sea "mare nostrum" (our sea). The first highway was the Via Appia running from Rome southwest to Brundisium (Brindisi). This later gave us the saying “all roads lead to Rome.” The original first month of the Roman year was March. This is why February is the shortest month of the year. This was especially symbolic since March is named for Mars (the father of Romulus and Remus). Cæsar changed this during his term as dictator to benefit the recruiting of soldiers after Saturnalia and before the planting season began (around March). Even though the beginning of the year was changed many things were not: the numbered months are still based on March, many offices changed at the beginning of March, and even our Presidents originally changed (swearing in) in March until just this past century. Cæsar was a dictator not an emperor. He assumes the position of "dictator for life" to stop the cycle of civil wars and senatorial power struggles until assassinated by a group of senators (including Brutus) on the Ides of March (March 15, 44 B.C.) S.P.Q.R. is debated but basically means Senatus Populusque Romanus (The Senate and the Roman People) or Senatus Populusque Romanorum (The Senate and People of Rome). Either way it is still the official abbreviation used in Rome on public billboards, telephones and other articles under the control of the city's government (e.g. manhole covers, bus tickets, etc.). The first Emperor was Augustus (27 B.C. - 14 A.D.) who was Caesar's heir (and great nephew) as well as Marc Anthony's brother in law. His reign begins the Pax Romana. Rome's greatest Emperor. The last ("western" i.e. based in Rome) Emperor was Romulus Augustulus (475 A.D. - 476 A.D.) who surrenders to Odoacer to save Rome in 476 A.D.

vicesimus secundus mensis Februarius: review for tomorrow's test. Review the workbook section (XVI.X) on Fishbourne Palace. Extra help today during enrichment periods or after school. Homework: study for tomorrow's test. I made a review sheet for extra help today which I am pasting below in the box/table.

Chapter XVI Test review sheet Remember the chapter test will be next Tuesday as discussed today. The translation sentences will come from "rex spectaculum dat, parts I and II" by group. The essay will be about the Palace at Fishbourne. The vocabulary and derivatives will come from the end of chapter list on pagina XC (simplified list): edifice, auxiliary, consent, counsel, deinde, delectable, deride, dismiss, fugitive, fabric, floral, imperial, inter, iterate, meliorate, navigate, non, prepare, perish, postpone, post/hodiernal, punish, simultaneous, summit, superable, extol, and vertical. Part I: 1 and 2 (lines 1 – 8) The king was dining with many guests in the palace. Salvius and Quintus were reclining near the king. The Brits were praising the food, the Romans the wine. All the guests were giving thanks to the king. Suddenly Belimicus entered late. “Look! Our shipwrecked sailor enters,” exclaimed Dumnorix. “Surely you didn’t lose another ship?” The others derided Belimicus and applauded Dumnorix. Belimicus however responded nothing to Dumnorix, but sat down quietly. 3 and 4 (lines 9 – 15) The king announced a show (spectacle) to his guests. At once dwarves with dancing girls entered and delighted the guests. Then, when the king gave the signal, all exited. Salvius, whom the dwarves did not delight, clamored, “this dinner is good. Never have I consumed a better dinner. But the bear, who (which) dances, I want to see. This bear delights me much more than dwarves and dancing girls. Part II: 1 (lines 1 – 7) The king gave the slaves a sign. A slave, who was expecting this sign, at once entered with the bear and showed her to the guests. Belimicus, as soon as he saw this, got up and proceeded to the middle triclinium. “My Dumnorix!” he clamored. “It is easy for you to make jokes. But you do not dare handle the bear! I, whom you deride, dare to handle the bear.” 2 (lines 8 – 14) All were watching Belimicus astonished. Belimicus, who now (already) dismissed the German slave, led the bear to (towards) Dumnorix. “Surely you also want to handle the bear?” He asked insolently. “Surely you want to give the guests a show?” The fearless Dumnorix stood (got up) at once and derided Belimicus. “it is easy for me to handle this bear. “I am able to overpower (overcome) you too, little man.” 3 (lines 15 – 20 ending at "poterant") Then the others, who feared before, cackled strongly (loudly). Belimicus, when he heard the cackling, furiously punched the bear and pushed her towards Dumnorix. Suddenly the bear herself turned savage (a play on words “bear turned” as in turned and “turned” as in changed), and ferociously hit Belimicus. Then the terrified chiefs raised a great clamor and ran to the doors as quickly as possible. They were even fighting amongst themselves, because they were not able to exit. 4 (line 20 - end of story) The bear, which (whom) this clamor terrified, was running toward the couch, where the king was sitting. The king however, because he was lame, was not able to flee. Dumnorix threw himself at the bear in vain. Salvius was standing motionless. But Quintus a spear, which a slave was holding, seized. He quickly threw the spear and transfixed the savage beast. She fell dead.
Essay study questions are on page 40 in the workbook (related to the readings on pages 83 -88 in your textbook).

Story – translation sentences from parts I and II
Groups 1 and 2 are responsible for:
these lines from part I:
rex cum multis hospitibus in aula cenabat. Salvius et Quintus prope regem recumbebant. Britanni cibum laudabant, Romani vinum. omnes hospites regi gratias agebant. subito Belimicus tardus intravit. “ecce! naufragus noster intrat,” clamavit Dumnorix. “num tu aliam navem amisisti?” ceteri Belimicum deriserunt et Dumnorigi plauserunt. Belimicus tamen Dumnorigi nihil respondit, sed tacitus consedit.
Groups 3 and 4 are responsible for:
these lines from part I:
rex hospitibus suis spectaculum nuntiavit. statim pumiliones cum saltatricibus intraverunt et hospites delectaverunt. deinde, ubi rex eis signum dedit, omnes exierunt. Salvius, quem pumiliones non delectaverant, clamavit, “haec cena est bona. numquam cenam meliorem consumpsi. sed ursam, quae saltat, videre volo. illa ursa me multo magis delectat quam pumiliones et saltatrices.
from part II:
Group 1:
rex servis signum dedit. servus, qui hoc signum exspectabat, statim cum ursa intravit et hospitibus eam ostendit. Belimicus, simulatque hoc vidit, surrexit, et ad medium triclinium processit. “mi Dumnorix!” clamavit. “facile est tibi iocos facere. sed ursam tractare non audes! ego non timeo. ego, quem tu derides, ursam tractare audeo.”
Group 2:
omnes Belimicum spectabant attoniti. Belimicus, qui servum Germanicum iam dimiserat, ursam ad Dumnorigem duxit. “nonne tu quoque ursam tractare vis?” rogavit insolens. “nonne tu hospitibus spectaculum dare vis?” Dumnorigem impavidus statim surrexit et Belimicum derisit. “facile est mihi hanc ursam superare. te quoque, homuncule, superare possum.”
Group 3:
tum ceteri, qui antea timuerant, valde cachinnaverunt. Belimicus, ubi cachinnos audivit, furens ursam pulsavit, et eam ad Dumnorigem impulit. subito ursa saeva se vertit, et Belimicum ferociter percussit. tum principes perterriti clamorem magnum sustulerunt et ad ianuas quam celerrime cucurrerunt. etiam inter se pugnabant, quod exire non poterant.
Group 4:
ursa, quam hic clamor terruerat, ad lectum currebat, ubi rex sedebat. rex tamen, quod claudicabat, effugere non poterat. Dumnorix in ursam frustra se coniecit. Salvius immotus stabat. sed Quintus hastam, quam servus tenebat, rapuit. hastam celeriter emisit et bestiam saevam transfixit. illa decidit mortua.

“ludi funebres, part II” Far of in the sea was a huge rock. This rock was the changing (turning) point. The ships were rushing to the changing point. The Regnenses ship, which Dumnorix was directing, was first already. To the back Belimicus, the Cantiaci governor, was cursing his own sailors. Dumnorix, when he approached the rock, suddenly diverted the ship to the right. “Look!” said Dumnorix. “It is dangerous for us to sail near the rock, because many rocks lay under the waves. It is necessary for us to avoid the rocks.” Belimicus however, who was not knowing these rocks, was holding a direct course. “Comrades,” he said, “Look! We are able to win, because Dumnorix has gone away to the right. These Regnenses are timid; it is easy for us to win, because we are braver (stronger). The Cantiaci sailors were trusting (crediting) Belimicus. Soon they overtook the Regnenses ship and came to the changing point first. Belimicus, who did not see the perilous rocks, was deriding Dumnorix. Suddenly the Cantiaci ship crashed into the rocks. The terrified sailors clamored; water was completing (filling) the ship. Belimicus and the Cantiaci were able to do nothing; soon the ship was submerged. In the meantime Dumnorix, who was navigating with the greatest care, directed the ship around the changing point. The ship came to the shore safely. Many spectators lauded the victorious Dumnorix. The Regnenses were happy; the Cantiaci miserable. Then all were turning eyes to the sea. It was difficult for them to see the sailors, because they were swimming in the waves. All however were able to see Belimicus, because he was sitting high upon the rock. Soaked through he was adhering (clinging) to the rock and was postulating (demanding) help.

“ludi funebres, part I”
After the ceremony, King Cogidubnus conducted the procession to the seashore. There the Britons (British) celebrated funeral games. Also there were the Regnenses, Cantiaci, and other British tribes. The competitors were competing amongst themselves for a long time. The Cantiaci were most happy, because they were always winning. The Cantiaci athlete ran faster than the others. The Cantiaci fighter, who was most strong, easily overpowered the other fighters. The other Cantiaci athlete threw the discus farther than the others. After this contest, Cogidubnus announced a naval race between the Cantiaci and Regnenses. The Cantiaci sailors were preparing a cerulean (blue) boat, the Regnenses sailors a yellow boat. Dumnorix, the Regnenses chief, who commanded (was in charge of) the yellow boat, was a most skilled helmsman (governor). Belimicus, the Cantiaci chief, commanded the cerulean (blue) boat. He was a proud and insolent (rude) man. The sailors, after they prepared the boats, were awaiting (expecting) the signal intently. Suddenly a trumpet sounded. The ships at once leapt forward; they were rushing through the waves. The oars were pounding the waves vehemently. The spectators, who were standing on the shore, raised a great clamor. The Cantiaci were clamoring, “We favor Belimicus! Belimicus is able to win! Our sailors are the best!” The Regnenses however were favoring Dumnorix: “We have the best ship! We have the best governor! The Cantiaci governor is more stupid (“stupider”) than an ass!” |

Salvius: (angry) It is necessary for the precursors to remove the Britons from the road. It is not proper for Britons to impede Roman citizens. I want to go as quickly as possible. The king expects us. Varica, who was fearing the angry master, returned to the precursors. Varica: You asses! You have rods. Remove the Britons. Then the precursors at once were vibrating (waving) their rods. Many Britons jumped down into the ditches, because they were fearing the rods. Two juveniles however were standing firm in the road fearless. Near the juveniles was a cart, which was blocking the whole road. Varica: Why do block the road? It is necessary for my master to go to the palace. iuvenis primus: We also want to visit the king. But we are not able to move the cart. The cart has a fractured wheel. iuvenis secundus: Our friend, whom we expect, seeks another wheel. We ought to await our friend. Anxious Varica returned to Salvius again. Varica: The cart, which you see, master, has a fractured wheel. It is difficult for us to proceed, because this cart is blocking the whole road. Salvius: (angrier than before) Surely you are not deaf? Blockhead (idiot)! It is not convenient for me to remain in this location. I want to go as quickly as possible. Varica again returned to the precursors. Varica: Blockheads (idiots)! Remove this cart. Throw (it) down into the ditch. The precursors, after they heard Varica, threw down the cart into the ditch. The juveniles were resisting vehemently. Then the precursors threw down the juveniles into the ditch too. Salvius: (proceeding by road and laughing) The Britons are most bothersome. They always vex (annoy) us Romans.

The very long procession was proceeding to the palace. In the first (primary) part were going ten slaves. These slaves, who were holding long rods, were the precursors (forerunners). In the middle of the procession Salvius and Quintus were riding. After them were walking three slave girls, which (who) the urn and tripods were carrying. The other slave girls flowers and perfume were bringing (carrying). Lastly were proceeding twenty slaves. The procession, which was completing (filling) the whole road, was splendid. Many Britons too with their wives and children were going to the palace. A great (large) crowd was in the street. Then Varica, who with the precursors was riding, returned to Salvius.
