Talk:De Natura Deorum

message: There is supposedly a quote, "No man was ever great without a touch of divine afflatus." -Cicero" This is supposedly from the work De Divinatione (see Afflatus). However, the translation of this: Negat enim sine furore Democritus quemquam poetam magnum esse posse, quod idem dicit Plato gives Democritus says that no one can be a great poet without being in a state of frenzy, and Plato says the same thing. I think the true quote is from De Natura Deorum

replies: text: The quote that starts "The consequence of which is that there are many things probable" has also been mistranslated.  Or, rather, there seems to be a mix-up in which two entirely different passages are presented, one in English and the other in the original Latin.

Talk:Moot hall

message: Although the article "Moot Hill <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moot_hill> " is longer it is part of the Scottish project and in my opinion should not be considered to be the main article for this page ("Moot Hall") which is the more general article. Neither article deals adequately with the subject of 'moots' I am not a specialist at all, but someone maybe can pick up on this
"Moot" is an old Anglo-Saxon word and involves a case that needs decision by a meeting of interested parties. Hence a moot... Frequently they were on neutral ground and were used to discuss and resolve boundary disputes. The one I first came across is a moot mound just outside a city boundary (or was outside the city in those days - Southampton has expanded since) and is known to have been used in the 12C. There is a lovely example in Leicestershire of 6 parishes arranged radially, like the spokes of a wheel, around central a moot mound which does not belong to any of them – it was noted in the Domesday book which was complied after the Norman conquest in 1066. Many of them were courts, many of them were directly responsible to the king and once their decisions were taken only the king himself could overturn the decision of a moot. There are more than 2900 known moot mounds in the British Isles as well as moot buildings and moot crosses - (sorry, I don't know my source for these statements) and it has been suggested that there were many more as there may have been a moot location (mound, hall, cross, well) associated with every "hundred"
As a final point, the difference in understanding between US and UK English needs to be emphasised as the meanings are in essence entirely opposite between the two countries

replies: text: Agree in part with what you say - see my comment at talk:moot hill - I challenge the latest version that begins "Moot hills in Scotland" (which is a recent edit).  It seems likely to me (as an innocent bystander) that the custom began with simple moot mounds - low rings of earth that people could sit on in a circle.  In England, development was towards moot halls whereas in Scotland it went to moot hills. In my view, the qualification "Scotland" should be removed from the intro and detailed sections on Scottish and English practice created - recognising that the Scottish section will be far more detailed. --John Maynard Friedman 12:21, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Perhaps there should be some coverage of the use of the term with reference to the meetinghouse of the gods, the Pantheon on Olympus perhaps being a typical example though it is really more a moot hill.

Talk:Siran Valley

message: Helo, I have removed wrong information that Gen Musharraf was the first head of state of Pakistan to visit here. Most people today seem to have little knowledge of the past but are quick to rush to print or post. In fact he was the fourth, although he was the only one who came here in official capacity. Other visitors were Liaquat Ali Khan (visit to Nawab of Amb and also to this locality,1949), General/President Ayub Khan (family holiday, 1963), Nawaz Sharif (election campaign visit for a local candidate 1992-93). Also, I feel this news item isnt very highly relevant to the topic, if you have something to say about Siran valley then give its history, present condition/population , other demographic and economic details etc, instead of promoting politicians and military dictators please.

Talk:Ship of State

message: The article claims that ‘The origins of the metaphor can be traced back to the lyric poet Alcaeus’, but surely this metaphor is much older than that; as far back as the Egyptian story of the Eloquent Peasant, lines 298–299, one finds the same metaphor of the state as a ship: ‘You are the rudder of the entire land; the land sails as you command.’ —Vorziblix (talk) 16:45, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origins 

message: ;Actual ocean liner
Beyond the political metaphor, in the 20th century, "Ship of State" became a term applied to ocean liners which were built to be floating symbols of a state's artistic and technological advancement; normally flagships of the country's most successful passenger shipping line, and the construction of which was often subsidised by the state government. Examples of liners considered Ships of State are the RMS Queen Mary (United Kingdom), SS Normandie (France), SS Rex (Italy), SS France (France), RMS Queen Mary 2 (United Kingdom), and SS United States (United States).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.159.166.27 (talk) 23:12, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Talk:De Legibus

message: The summary of book 3 contains quite a few interpretations, that are not unanimously accepted:
* Keyes 1922 proposed that limiting capital cases to the centuriate assembly only refers to captial cases in the assemblies, i.e. perduellionis.
* The minor magistrates are only identified by function. Quaestorship is interpreted as not being part of the "cursus honorum" because quaestors are nowhere refered to by name. Cicero only says, there shall be minor magistrates who are concerened with money, minting, punishment, and judging lites, and serving as lieutenants in the army. It is not clear from the text, whether Cicero only gives a summary or whether he imagines a single board of minor magistrates responsible for those things.
* The minor magistrates are also ordered to obey the senate, which might be interesting.
* Having been a consul was pbobably never a formal prerequisite for becoming censor, although other candidates wouldn't stand a chance. The article here is simply wrong.
* Censors being supposed to interprete laws, is already an interpretation. They are ordered to "recall to the laws". This could be as ordinary as checking circulating copies of the laws for correct wording. (See Rawson.)
* Missing from the article is the number of "moral laws" like "imperia iusta sunte", "duella iusta iuste gerunto". Even though, they do not fit our modern idea of law (and probably the standard interpretation of the word in Cicero's time) they are a central part of the text.
