International
Affairs
Mongolians take Xian.
A revitalized Parthian empire
has renewed its assault to thelimits of the barbarian society.
The conflicts between the
barbarians and the imperial
government of China has lead to
a war between them. It has been
reported that through the last
years the Chinese government
has come up with the defeat of
barbarian groups near Xian,
previously called Changan.Xian is a cultural centre along
the Silk road and the capital
for 12 dynasties. It is also the
resting place of many Chinese
emperors, including the grand
mausoleum of Emperor Qin of
the Qin Dynasty. Not being
enough the international
conflicts that China have to
overcome, it has been pointed
out an internal conflict that
needs to be solved before this
dinasty comes to an end. More
specifically it has been reported
to this newspaper that Beijing,
the key military and trading
centre over the silk road in
China, has been conquered by
the mongolians along withJurchen Jin, and it has been
named Zhongdu, this leaves
China without a centre of
political, social and economic
command, increasing the
barbarian chances to conquer
China and acquire more military
power, a threat to the Roman
empire.
Barbarian Hostilities.
By hearing about the outbreak
of Barbarian hostilities in China
and in the limits of the RomanEmpire, the emperor has
decided to send his colleague
with orders to command the
legions stationed in the East to
face the invader. The war is
thought to have its start by the
end of this year. This important
war has been assigned to the
general Gaius Avidius Vero
Casio. It is hoped that when he
returns from his campaign,
barbarians leave the empire.
Potential Plague Threat
In other international affairs,
Britania has come up with a
plague known as the Antonine
Plague, or the Plague of Galen,
which threatens to spread
through the Roman Empire. The
disease turned into anuncontrollable pandemic variety
of smallpox and measles, and
has killed over a two thousand
people. An estimated of one
million people would die if the
plague spreads through Rome
during this year. Risk factors
that may contribute to the
transmission of the plague
include smoking and,
especially, not wearing
protection when working with
sick animalsthereby
increasing the likelihood of
subsequent hand-to-eye, hand-
to-nose or hand-to-mouth
transmission, then other people
breathe in the virus or touch
something with the virus on itand then touch their own face.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose
or mouth. Germs spread this
way.

Roman Empire Economics
The Roman Empire is marking
the end of the classical period
and the times of the feudalism
would begin. It is important to
know the importance of the
empire because in this times the
humanity are making a few
discoveries that will became
critical in a future period.
Despite the age of gold in the
Roman Empire the human race
is falling in the stage of the
feudalism. Consequently
humans do not see new
scientists advances thatprobably would be until the
beginning of another century.
There is a work social division
based in an interregional
commerce that built an
economy direct by an efficient
market system. The majority of
people think that the fall of
Roman Empire will be cause bycontinues attacks of the
barbarian tribes but it is not
completely true; the collapse of
the interconnected economic
will have a big relevance.
In the same way the social
welfare state (bread and circus)
supported by the Roman Empire
became weak the economic
save of all the Empire. The
reason of this is because the
roman emperors are worried
about the admiration of their
people and they do not think
about the way to carry a
continuous economy develop.
In addition the roman
government distributes free
food for all the roman citizens,
this situation cause that the
agriculture is not profitable
economically. For this reason
farmers have left land zones andhave moved to cities where the
food is free and they do not
have to work for getting it.
Consequently, the population in
most of roman cities is
increasing exorbitant.
Notably the poverty in some
cities raise and the output of
food decrease worrying.Consequently roman emperors
execute economy policies to get
better the circumstances; one of
this ways is to create inflation in
the empire economy to solve the
evils of the increase expense,
but it have a bad consequence
because the price of rations and
other goods of first necessity
increase prime. In this way the
political interventionist of the
emperor place maximums prices
in most of goods that
consequently is creating
shortage in the way of amplifies
the demand and decrease the
supply of it; these government
abuses create distortions and
inefficiency in markets. Now
the roman emperors have
established laws to prevent the
migration of farmers to the
cities, condition that laid the
foundations of the feudalservitude.
Briefly the trade in the Roman
Empire is destroying; the traffic
of grains and essential items
have disappeared. The citizens
have to move to the land to
grow their own food and not die
by the shortage of rations in the
cities. People are tired of taxesimposed by emperors and the
government interventionist. A
final point is that the Roman
Kingdom is unable to adjust it
moral code and it legal system
with the demands of the market
economy.

Breaking news INTERNAL POLITICS
The Great Flavius Theodosius has died of a vascular edema, the disease apparently
had pursued in recent years.
According to the medical
report, the governor died
in a farm located inMilan. Apparently,
before dying, the
governor of our Roman
Empire declared that the
empire would be splitted
out into two parts:
Leaving the East and the
Western Empire which
new capitals will be
Constantinople and
Rome respectively,
whose emperors are ment
to be his two eldest sons;
Arcadius will must rule
the empire of the
East while his brother
Honorius will rule the
empire of the West. With
this act, finally therelations between eastern
and western parts of the
empire have been
broken.
The question we all ask
at this point is: What will
happen now in our
empire of the West? The
new emperor FlaviusHonorius is just a 10
years old boy. The
Empire should not be in
the hands of a small child
because clearly he is not
ready to assume this
important position. In the
other hand there are
people who believe that
the general and the child
couple would be a
constructive team to
solve the issues Rome
currently has. However,
this leaves our empire in
a very worrying position,
because our enemies
seeing an Emperor so
young they will not
hesitate to attack us.
Secondly, our eastern
neighbor has Arcadio as
emperor, the eldest son
of Flavius Theodosius
not much older than his
younger brother.
The analysts are concern
of a major theme that is
the ambivalence felt by
prominent individuals
and the court parties that
formed and regrouped
round them towards
barbarians, which in
Constantinople are called
Goths.
It is expected that minor
rebellions and uprisings
will be common events
throughout the
government of the
Emperor Arcadio.
Conquered tribes or cities
could revolt, and the
legions would be
detached to crush the
rebellion. It has been
reported to this
newspaper that Greeks
and Jewish religious
tensions, are growing
with anti-taxation
protests and attacks upon
Roman citizens.
This pair of siblings will
have the difficult task of
not only protecting the
interests of the Roman
Empire, but also must
work in harmony
together to overcome
problems that have
received government of
Rome during the late
emperors, including the
government of their late
father, as investigators
analyze that The West
belonging to Arcadio will
be less urbanized and
less densely populated
because of the great
chances of epidemic and
territory problems. The
region might have
experienced an economic
decline throughout theLate Empire in some
provinces because of the
split up of the Empire.
Southern Italy, northern
Gaul (except for large
towns and cities) to some
extent Spain and the
Danubian areas have
been suffered. As time
goes by the East, has
been wealthier although
the big break up.
For now, we must honor
Flavius Theodosius, who
will be remembered as
the last emperor of a
unified Roman Empire.
The new governor of east empire, Flavio
Honorio.

Technology SECTION
Throughout the years,our army has been thetool to rule the world.
Mainly because theRoman militarytechnology is currentlythe more advanced.Given this introductionwe will present you thenewest weapondeveloped by ourintellectuals andphilosophers in Greece,which is the main point
to sustain the governmentover the empire. We aretalking about the Ballistaa device compound of anarch and a bucket.
The early ballista was
developed from two
weapons called oxybeles
and gastraphetes. The
gastraphetes ('belly-bow')
was a hand held
crossbow. It had a
composite prod and was
spanned with both hands,
with a ratchet preventing
it from shooting while
loading. The power
available was not
sufficient to be used
successfully against
armoured troops. The
oxybeles was a bigger
and heavier constructionemploying a winch, and
was mounted on a tripod.
It had a lower rate of fire
and was used as a siege
engine.
Since these weapons
delivered lighter
munitions (thus
delivering less energy on
impact) it is a widely
held opinion that our
army could used more as
an anti-personnel role, or
to destroy lighter
structures. A less
accurate weapon like an
onager or other single-
arm artillery could hit
with more force, and thus
would be the more useful
weapon againstreinforced wood or heavy
masonry.
So when you see it, you
can feel proud of the
Roman genius and
power.

GAMBLING!
News about the handball
championship
As you know our
handball championship
was ended by the news
than our beloved Roman
Empire had been divided
in two, the west RomanEmpire and the east
Roman Empire, so the
great championship was
canceled.
But now theres a new
hope because the two
emperors have decided
that theres going to be a
GREAT FINALMATCH BETWEEN
THE BEST PLAYERS
OF THE WEST AND
EAST ROMAN
EMPIRES!
Oh yes people, like the
rumors were saying,
theres going to be a
great final matchbetween our great
empires.
This match will be
divided in two matches,
one in Rome coliseum
and the other in the
hippodrome of
Constantinople.
The rules in this match
will be a little different;
we all know the rules of
the normal handball
game in which the
players are put in front of
a wall, then a ball is
given to them and the
point of the game is to
throw the ball to the walland then a player of the
other team using only the
palm of his hand must do
it again and so on until
someone loses.
Now the difference in
these new rules for this
especial game will be
that the players will be
gladiators and they have
to throw the ball WITH
THEIR SWORDS and if
they accidentally cut
another player, it is
allowed.
And finally the loser
team will be throw to
the lions!
So dont you miss this
especial games, the first
will happen in
Constantinople the first
day of November at the
dawn and the second one
will happen in the first
day of December at the
dawn, and in the next
dawn the losing team
will be throw to the lions.
The matches will last
from dawn to sunset so
bring food and water, and
see you then folks.
Gladiatorial combats
The combats continue
like always in the
coliseum at Rome, this
last day of the week we
will have two specials
besides the usual
gladiator vs. gladiator,
we will have tigers vs.
gladiators and in animal
combats we will have
bears vs. mastins.
You better dont miss the
show or youll regret it!

Science
EXPERTS SAY THAT
THE EMPIRE WAS
DIVIDED BECAUSE
OF SLAVERY
Scientists and
philosophers of the
empire surveyed over
1000 people in New
Rome to find a general
opinion about the
division of the kingdom.
"Now we live in New
Rome because the
Emperor Constantine the
Great promised new
schools for all citizens."
ensures Vespucio Greco,
a resident of 31 years
old.
According to the study,
about 71 percent of
people believe that
society is too dependent
on slaves, and they do
not use the slaves in a
complete form. The
study also found that the
animals were left to use
for work activities by 31percent, while the use of
water power machinery
grown only 5 percent.
"Slaves are more hired
than workers in the
estates, so many of us
have lost their jobs" says
Aristobulo Cartago,
which is sitting on a
bench in the square.
Although the emperor
authorized soldiers to notbring slaves and
promoted the use of mill
to grind wheat, economy
decreases at a significant
rate each year, with
increasing looting
pirates.
The researchers propose
the creation of moreacademies for young
people to study technical
because they have the
creativity to invent tools
for the empire, avoid
buying slaves and
employ qualified people,
it keeps the rich richer
and the poor poorer and
in this way the markets
will not continue to
decline and having a
fewer production.
"Otherwise, people will
soon feel the
consequences" says
Teofilo Theocrata, of the
Roman Academy.
PAUL OF EGINA
DESCRIBES NASAL
POLYPS AND
SYNOVIAL LIQUIDS
The famous doctor,
author of works such as"Epitome and
"Memorandum", and
author of several
volumes of
encyclopedias of
medicine, surgery and
obstetrics, has published
his latest work,
"Hypomnema" a
description of the nasal
polyp, synovial liquids
and also recounts the
surgical excision of ribs
for the treatment of
pleural emphysema, with
observations on the eyes
and tips for military
doctors.
"These must investigate
and prevent diseases, as a
nasal polyp or
emphysema may be so
severe as to cause asthma
and respiratory
problems," says the
famous doctor.
Among his more
controversial writings,
there is a description of
synovial fluid as
compared with the white
of an egg "should be a
little more liquid to
articulate better bones"

who are opposed to the
idea of Egina.His work can be

Exclusive!! First
lectisternio ever!!
One of the most amazing
events this year is the
celebration of the first
official lectisternio. Our
newspaper was right
there covering the event.
Let us see what we
found. This event was
named as lectisternio
due to the general
tendency for the guests
including gods- to lie on
beds while they are
celebrating.This
exclusive celebration
took place at the temple.
As we saw, one of the
most important things of
the event was the
presence of the deities:
Apolo and Latona, Diana
and Hercules, and,
Mercurio and Neptuno,
all of them attended in
couples. The purpose of
this celebration was to
honor the gods, and it
was done with a great
banquet, in which they
were invited to
participate, even, we saw
that there were beds for
them to be more
comfortable, great idea!
Wasnt it? .As every
good pagan ceremony
there was a priest, or as
they use to call him, an
epulon, and he was in
charge of the rituals
performed during thewhole celebration.
For our correspondents it
was really strange to see
gods statues lying in
beds, but they told us this
celebration was a
complete success, so
much so, it lasted about
eight days!! Its amazing
how much gods can
celebrate.
Evidently, the first
lectisternio was a great
party; we hope they
invite us to the next one.
