Antigua Via Latina / The ancient Via Latina

In the middle of the Roman periphery, between the modern Via Appia and Via Tuscolana, a section of the 3rd mile of the ancient Via Latina is preserved in perfect condition.

It has ancient origins: the natural route, already followed in prehistoric times, was used by the Etruscans to colonise Campania in the 8th-6th centuries BC.

Definitely laid out by the Romans around the IV-III centuries B.C., it connected Rome with Capua, maintaining its importance throughout Antiquity. In fact, even in the Middle Ages, it was preferred as an access road to Naples because of its better preservation compared to the Appian Way and the presence of a number of Christian places of worship along the route..

Entering the Archaeological Park of the Tombs of the Via Latina, it is now possible to walk along a section of the original paving of the street. With a pleasant walk you can admire the rich tombs dating back to the I-II century A.D. that overlooked the route, which still have perfectly preserved polychrome decorations on the façades and inside: vaults covered with painted plaster and stucco, walls frescoed with funerary scenes and rich mosaic floors are still substantially intact in their original context.

From the street it is also possible to reach the Basilica of S. Stefano, a rare example of an early Christian building erected under the pontificate of Leo the Great in the middle of the 5th century.

The Archaeological Park of the Tombs of the Via Latina was created in 1879 following the acquisition by the State of a vast area in which important remains from Roman times had been discovered.

BARBERINI TOMB

The so-called Barberini Sepulchre, or Sepulchre of the Corneli. The funerary monument, dating from the 2nd century AD, consists of two above-ground floors and a hypogeum in an excellent state of preservation. The upper floor is covered by a ribbed vault completely covered with plaster painted with a red background and stucco elements. Groups of figures, winged victories on chariots, love affairs, birds, marine animals, mythological themes and architectural backgrounds can be recognised.

TOMB OF THE VALERI

The Tomb of the Valeri. The richly decorated underground rooms dating from the mid-2nd century AD are preserved, while the elevation is a hypothetical reconstruction dating from the mid-19th century. An elaborate white stucco covering, articulated in 35 medallions and panels, adorns the lunettes and the barrel vault of the underground room. The medallions depict Dionysian themes, female figures and sea animals, while in the central tondo there is a delicate-veiled figure on the back of a griffin, representing the deceased being carried to the afterlife.

THE TOMB OF THE PANCRATII

The Tomb of the Pancratii. Much of the visible structure is a modern construction that protects the monument below by resting on the original 1st-2nd century AD walls, about a metre high. Upon entering the tomb, one can admire the beautifully decorated underground rooms, with mosaics on the floors and vaults and walls frescoed in bright colours and stucco in an excellent state of preservation. They depict mythological scenes, natural and architectural landscapes, images of women and animals. In the centre of one of the underground chambers is a large sarcophagus for two Greek marble depositions.

SHE'S CRAZY WITH THE HEAT — 1946 ft. The International Sweethearts of Rhythm

In 1946, William D. Alexander began the production of a series of one-reel shorts, half-hour featurettes and feature films that would serve a dual purpose. These black cast subjects would be released to theaters that welcomed African American audiences; concurrently, the music segments would be excerpted from the films and released as Soundies. Ultimately, sixteen of Alexander’s musical shorts reached the Panoram screen, spotlighting the bands of Lucky Millinder, Billy Eckstine, Henri Woode and the International Sweethearts of Rhythm. (Alexander actually produced four films with the Sweethearts, three ten-minute short subjects and one feature, although some of the performances turns up in more than one film; only three performances saw release as a Soundie.) The International Sweethearts of Rhythm grew out of a band formed in the 1930s at the Piney Woods Country Life School, an institution – in part an orphanage – for poor African American children. A member of the music department had apparently taken note of the success of Ina Ray Hutton’s Melodears and decided that an all-woman band composed of school members might lead to something special. While they performed locally, the ISR did not begin to hit its stride until it left Piney Woods and became a professional touring outfit in 1941. The band was certainly “international” in nature, and its ranks included African American, Latina, Chinese, Indian, White and Puerto Rican musicians. In 1941, Anna Mae Winburn joined the orchestra as front woman and featured vocalist. During the war years Maurice King joined the band as both arranger and band manager. Born Clarence King in 1911, King played reeds and later became a fine swing arranger. While here we recognize his composition and arrangement for the Sweethearts – he called this tune “She’s Crazy with the Heat ” – King is best known for his longtime association with Barry Gordy and Motown Records for which he served as director of artist development. He worked closely with vocal groups, teaching the singers how to voice and phrase together. “Maurice brought sophistication and class to Motown,” said session musician Johnny Trudell. By 1946, the Sweethearts was recognized as one of the finest African-American bands in jazz. They recorded for Guild and RCA Records, broadcast regularly for the Armed Forces Radio Service, and toured Europe entertaining the GIs. While much of the success was due to Maurice King’s arrangements, the band’s musicians were all strong, and a special nod must go to Viola Burnside, one of the most neglected tenor soloists of the 1940s. I chatted with my friend Roz Cron, a member of the Sweetheart’s reed section, shortly before her passing. When I thanked her for her contribution, she paused and said, “Yeah, we were one of the best, one of the very, very best.” (via Jazz on Film)

just wondering, any tips you'd recommend for learning latin? I've been thinking of learning it since it sounds pretty fun but I don't really know where to start with it

Tips:

When studying vocabulary, close your eyes and picture the meaning of a Latin word while saying it. So for dux, form a mental image of a leader leading his army. For monere, picture someone shaking their finger in warning. For sub, find an image that signifies the meaning to you--for me, it's a boat going under a bridge. Having an image will help your brain bypass the English word to think in Latin.

After translating a sentence, do the same thing. Reread it aloud, clearly picturing what is happening in the sentence. If it describes an action, you could try moving your body to mimic the action, or if it's a question, pretend you're asking a friend. Try different tones of voice and facial expressions to get the meaning across. Eventually, you should be able to understand some sentences on the first read, without translating.

If you ever have the opportunity to practice speaking Latin with someone else, do it! It's so good for your comprehension.

Getting started:

Most textbooks will assume you're starting from scratch. Here are some different options to suit different learning needs:

Latina Lingua per se Illustrata uses no English at all. It tells a story in Latin, starting out with very simple sentences and progressing to harder ones. I think it's brilliant, but it may be difficult if you don't have a teacher.

Via Latina has been recommended to me as a similar idea, but using Latin primary sources rather than a story. I haven't personally used it, but it sounds amazing.

Henle is a four-year course appropriate for high school or college students. It's the one I used, but I don't think it's the best course out there. It is available online though, and the companion grammar is excellent.

Wheelock is a one-year textbook appropriate for college students. I only used it briefly, but my husband loves it. It covers roughly the same material as Henle in just one book, so it's denser for sure.

Regardless of what you're using, it's always helpful to be able to ask someone for help when you're stuck, so try to track down a "Latin mentor" if you can!

Best of luck.

I have neglected this blog for a few weeks, but I will get back to queueing soon. I am not ignoring anyone.

I want to say one thing.

When David Duchovny endorsed Kamala Harris there were a lot of Trump supporters in his comments complaining and using Mulder (fictional fucking character btw) as a scapegoat for their hatred.

I want to make it exceptionally clear that this blog is run by a queer latina. I want to make it clear that if you are a Trump supporter, are anti-abortion, a misogynist, racist, a transphobe, a homophobe, a xenophobe, a zionsist, a climate change denier, an anti-vaxxer, or in any other way a right wing extremist you are not welcome on this blog.

And while Mulder is not real, he would absolutely NOT be a Trump supporter, it's actually canon via the revival if you knew jack shit about the show you claim to enjoy.

CARVILIO'S RING

EL ANILLO DE CARVILIO

L'ANELLO DI CARVILIO

(English / Español / Italiano)

The ring of Carvilius, found on the finger of a Roman matron during excavations on the Via Latina, bears witness to the profound pain and at the same time the great love of a mother for her son.

In 2000, on the Via Latina on the south-eastern outskirts of Rome, while excavations were being carried out to remove a pylon from a plot of land, steps leading to a sealed doorway were discovered. Beyond the door was a Roman tomb from the 1st century AD, still intact.

The tomb, measuring 9 square metres, houses two marble sarcophagi. In the first lies "Carvilio Gemello"; in the other, "Aebutia Quarta".

The bodies of the two deceased were well preserved, especially that of the young man, probably due to embalming and the favourable microclimatic conditions of the tomb.

In the sarcophagus of Aebutia, a wealthy Roman matron, only the skeleton has been found, but also the garlands of flowers (lilium, roses and violets) that adorned the deceased, the silk tunic she wore and the beautiful red wig she wore on her head, made of human hair, plant fibres and animal hair.

Neither of the deceased wore the traditional coin in their mouths, as was the custom in Rome, suggesting that Carvilius and Aebutia were followers of the Egyptian cult of Isis.

Wigs similar to the one worn by the Roman noblewoman have also been found in other burials, while the band ring worn by Aebutia on her finger is original and absolutely unique, a ring that has aroused great astonishment among archaeologists. An object of great beauty and incalculable value for its uniqueness and emotional value.

Under the bezel (part of the ring, or other jewel, where the gem is placed) of rock-crystal, worked "cabochon", is a mini-bust of Carvilius, who died at the age of 18 years and three months. The young man depicted has a bare torso; his curly hair, thin lips and aquiline nose are evident.

Due to the brightness caused by the glass lens, Carvilio's image gains depth when viewed.

Aebutia had had two children by different husbands. Carvilio was born of her first marriage to Titus Carvilio, of the Sergia family. From her second husband, however, she had a daughter, Antestia Balbina, who took care of his burial.

Aebutia died a few years after Carvilius, at the age of 40-45. In her sarcophagus there were also some baby bones, suggesting that she was pregnant at the time of her death.

The magnificent ring is now in the Archaeological Museum of Palestrina in Rome.

El anillo de Carvilio, hallado en el dedo de una matrona romana durante unas excavaciones en la vía Latina, atestigua el profundo dolor y al mismo tiempo el gran amor de una madre por su hijo.

En el año 2000, en la vía Latina, en la periferia sureste de Roma, mientras se realizaban excavaciones para retirar un pilón de un terreno, aparecieron unos escalones que conducían a una puerta sellada. Más allá de la puerta, una tumba romana del siglo I d.C., aún intacta.

La tumba, de 9 metros cuadrados, alberga dos sarcófagos de mármol. En el primero yace "Carvilio Gemello"; en el otro, "Aebutia Quarta".

Los cuerpos de los dos difuntos estaban bien conservados, sobre todo el del joven, probablemente debido al embalsamamiento y a las favorables condiciones microclimáticas de la tumba.

En el sarcófago de Aebutia, una rica matrona romana, sólo se ha encontrado el esqueleto, pero también las guirnaldas de flores (lilium, rosas y violetas) que adornaban a la difunta, la túnica de seda que vestía y la preciosa peluca roja que llevaba en la cabeza, hecha de cabello humano, fibras vegetales y pelo de animal.

Ninguno de los difuntos llevaba la tradicional moneda en la boca, como era costumbre en Roma, lo que sugiere que Carvilio y Aebutia eran seguidores del culto egipcio a Isis.

También se han encontrado pelucas similares a la que llevaba la noble romana en otros enterramientos, mientras que original y absolutamente único es el anillo de banda que lucía Aebutia en el dedo, un anillo que ha despertado gran asombro entre los arqueólogos. Un objeto de gran belleza y de incalculable valor por su singularidad y su valor emocional.

Bajo el bisel (parte del anillo, u otra joya, donde se coloca la gema) de cristal de roca, trabajado "a cabujón", hay un mini busto de Carvilio, que murió a la edad de 18 años y tres meses. El joven representado tiene el torso desnudo; son evidentes su pelo rizado, sus labios finos y su nariz aguileña.

Debido al brillo causado por la lente de cristal, la imagen de Carvilio gana profundidad al observarla.

Aebutia había tenido dos hijos de diferentes maridos. Carvilio nació de su primer matrimonio con Tito Carvilio, de la familia Sergia. De su segundo marido, sin embargo, tuvo una hija, Antestia Balbina, que se encargó de su entierro.

Aebutia murió unos años después de Carvilio, a la edad de 40-45 años. En su sarcófago había también algunos huesos de bebé, lo que sugiere que estaba embarazada en el momento de su muerte.

El magnífico anillo se conserva hoy en el Museo Arqueológico de Palestrina, en Roma.

L'anello di Carvilio, trovato al dito di un'ostetrica romana durante gli scavi sulla via Latina, testimonia il profondo dolore e allo stesso tempo il grande amore di una madre per suo figlio.

Nel 2000, sulla via Latina, nella periferia sud-est di Roma, mentre si effettuavano scavi per rimuovere un pilone da un terreno, apparvero dei gradini che conducevano ad una porta sigillata. Oltre la porta, una tomba romana del I secolo d.C., ancora intatta.

La tomba, che misura 9 metri quadrati, ospita due sarcofagi di marmo. Nel primo giace "Carvilio Gemello"; nell'altro, "Aebutia Quarta".

I corpi dei due defunti erano ben conservati, soprattutto quello del giovane, probabilmente grazie all'imbalsamazione e alle favorevoli condizioni microclimatiche della tomba.

Endel sarcofago di Aebutia, una ricca matrona romana, è stato ritrovato solo lo scheletro, ma anche le ghirlande di fiori (lilium, rose e viole) che adornavano la defunta, la tunica di seta che indossava e la bella parrucca rossa che portava in testa, fatta di capelli umani, fibre vegetali e peli animali.

Nessuno dei due defunti portava in bocca la tradizionale moneta, come si usava a Roma, suggerendo che Carvilius e Aebutia fossero seguaci del culto egizio di Iside.

Parrucche simili a quella indossata dalla nobildonna romana sono state ritrovate anche in altre sepolture, mentre originale e assolutamente unico è l'anello a fascia che Aebutia portava al dito e che ha suscitato grande stupore tra gli archeologi. Un oggetto di grande bellezza e di incalcolabile valore per la sua unicità e il suo valore affettivo.

Sotto il castone (parte dell'anello, o di un altro gioiello, in cui è inserita la gemma) di cristallo di rocca, lavorato "a cabochon", si trova un mini-busto di Carvilius, morto all'età di 18 anni e tre mesi. Il giovane raffigurato ha il busto nudo; sono evidenti i capelli ricci, le labbra sottili e il naso aquilino.

Grazie alla luminosità dovuta alla lente di vetro, l'immagine di Carvilio acquista profondità quando viene osservata.

Aebutia aveva avuto due figli da mariti diversi. Dal primo matrimonio con Tito Carvilio, della famiglia Sergia, nacque Carvilio. Dal secondo marito, invece, ebbe una figlia, Antestia Balbina, che si occupò della sua sepoltura.

Aebutia morì qualche anno dopo Carvilius, all'età di 40-45 anni. Nel suo sarcofago c'erano anche alcune ossa di bambino, il che fa pensare che fosse incinta al momento della morte.

Il magnifico anello si trova oggi nel Museo Archeologico di Palestrina a Roma.

I would not be surprised if Jacob Hopkins was actually descended from real life witch hunter Matthew Hopkins, and it’s part of the reason for his obsession; This idea that it’s “in his blood” and that he was “born special” because of it.

This adds to Jacob being a mundane Belos, both of them having the same beliefs and insincere delusions behind them; While he must’ve seen Gravesfield disavow witch hunting through Hunter’s eyes, he might’ve seen Jacob’s bullshit and used it as validation that these beliefs still exist, and them being reviled is just everyone else’s fault. Belos thinks he’s special because he’s a Christian white boy, and it ties back into how some of those “born special” tropes are rooted in eugenics.

And the way Belos was breeding as many Grimwalkers as possible, multiple at once, choosing the ones that looked most like Caleb and cultivating them to have ‘desirable’ traits… Treating people like plants, it makes me think of eugenics. The Puritans were forebearers for the U.S. and its issues the Nocedas struggle with, and the U.S. has had a history of eugenics…

After all, consider Belos’ outrage at Caleb having a child with a lesser species, creating a human-witch hybrid which to his racist mind is unacceptable. Consider that his outrage was motivated with the realization that a white man like him was now related to a witch; To Belos that’s a deep shame, and so he disavows and denies the Wittebane connection to the Clawthornes.

He denies Caleb, trying to replace him with a brother who doesn’t commit miscegenation, but of course he needs to make this Grimwalker as human as possible via a eugenics program, until out of the last two Grimwalkers, one has round ears after centuries of trying to remove that trait.

But it seems to have been a stillborn, whereas the other one Hunter wasn’t. It also seems to have been grown an adult, possibly a fluke or a way to figure out round ears before applying it to a younger clone. But eventually the portal was found, Belos plans to return to the human realm and discards the last one in anticipation of real (white) humans he doesn’t need to perfect. How fitting then that after rejecting this final Grimwalker, it gets its revenge by rejecting him as the undesirable trait.

Likewise, Belos ignores Hunter for Luz because at least she’s a human, even if she’s the only human and thus someone he has to settle for despite being Afro-Latina. His contempt for witches is undeniably based on concept of genetics and race, because he sees Luz as at least ‘redeemable’ but then admits to the Collector that he won’t extend the same to witches and demons for not being of the same species. Not only does it imply that Belos could save witches and demons, he just hypocritically doesn’t want to, but that he bases this distinction on their flesh, and it’s another reason why he devalues Luz’s status as a witch because she’s human, in a way infinitely contemptible to how that question started with Amity.

So given Belos’ obsession with how being a (white) human makes him so much better, it’s fitting his punishment is to have that (white) humanhood revoked; And instead of using this opportunity to realize how superficial the differences really are when some witches are more alike to humans than Belos himself is now, he makes exceptions for himself as convenient (no doubt fueled by the logic of “Well I used to be human/can turn back”), just as Belos selectively treats the Grimwalkers as human or witches based on what fits the current narrative.

Portavo i calzoni corti quando sentivo parlare in tv, sui giornali, nei programmi d'inchiesta, di quanto lavoro nero ci fosse nelle campagne in prov di Latina (come in mezza Italia). Centinaia, se non migliaia di italiani poveri e stranieri irregolari a lavorare nei campi per 2 mila lire l'ora, oggi per 3-4 euro l'ora. Una illegalita' diffusa gestita da un caporalato feroce e spietato. Si e' sempre saputo, eppure nessuno ha mai mosso un dito. Dx, centro, sx, hanno governato tutti ma mai nessuno ha fatto niente, se non "coccodrilleggiare" quando succedono fatti vergognosi, come quello che ha visto uno dei tanti imprenditori del posto caricare su un furgone un suo operaio che s'era amputato un braccio mentre lavorava scaricandolo davanti alla sua abitazione e lasciando l’arto staccato su una cassetta della frutta. Poi...wwroooommm, scappato via. Il lavoratore indiano e' morto, la sx dira' per un paio di giorni parole di circostanza e la dx fischiettera' come nulla sia successo. Questa e' gente che non rincorrera' mai nessuna di queste infamie per tutto il globo terracqueo.
