DISDAIN FOR PLEBS

https://piefed.social/c/roughromanmemes/p/2107545/disdain-for-plebs

To all the #authoritarian regimes and wannabe #dictators around the world: You can't disobey or redefine the #laws of #science and the rules of #mathematics like you do with statute laws.

These laws are not open to interpretation, so forget challenging them in your stacked courts. And they don't #discriminate between #plebs and you #elites, unlike your laws. So you're out of luck on that front too.

PS: If this resembles real life events, that's purely intentional.

Just got back from watching Tom Rosenthal do stand-up.

Yeah, you know. The guy from #FridayNightDinner and #Plebs etc.

His stand-up was good; odd, but good. Laughed a lot. And he addressed being called out by Baddiel for being a bad jew.

Funny stuff, can recommend.

Rex Sacrorum

In ancient Roman religion, the rex sacrorum (“king of the sacred things,” sometimes called rex sacrificulus) was a senatorial priesthood reserved for patricians. The rex sacrorum was based in the Regia.

During the Roman Republic, the rex sacrorum was chosen by the pontifex maximus (the chief high priest of the College of Pontiffs in ancient Rome) from a list of patricians (patricians were originally a group of ruling-class families in ancient Rome) submitted by the College of Pontiffs.

A further requirement was that he be born to parents married through the ritual of confarreatio. This was also the form of marriage he himself had to enter. His wife (the regina sacrorum) also performed religious duties specific to her role. Marriage was such a fundamental part of the priesthood that if the regina died, the rex had to resign. The rex sacrorum was above the pontifex maximus. Although he was more or less a powerless figurehead.

The rex sacrorum wore a toga, the undecorated soft “shoeboot” (calceus), & carried a ceremonial axe. As a priest of the archaic Roman religion, he sacrificed capite velato, with head covered.

The rex held a sacrifice on the Kalends of each month. Kalends is the 1st day of every month in the Roman Calendar. The word ‘calendar’ comes from this word. On the Nones (the Roman Calendar used by the Roman Kingdom & Roman Republic), he announced the dates of festivals for the month.

On March 24 & May 24, he held a sacrifice in the Comitium. The Comitium was the original open-air public meeting space of ancient Rome & had major religious & prophetic significance. In addition to these duties, the rex sacrorum seems to have functioned as the high priest of Janus.

In Rome, the priesthood was deliberately depoliticized. The rex sacrorum wasn’t elected. His inauguration was merely witnessed by a comitia calata, an assembly called for the purpose. The rex was barred from a political & military command. After the overthrow of the Roman kings, the office of rex sacrorum fulfilled at least some of the sacral duties of kingship, with the consuls assuming political power & military command, as well as some sacral functions.

As the wife of the rex sacrorum, the regina sacrorum (“queen of the sacred things”) was a high priestess who carried out ritual duties only she could perform. On the Kalends of every month, the regina presided at the sacrifice of a sow (porca) or female lamb (agna) to Juno. The reginas were equal to their male partners. These 2 priesthood were gender-balanced & had shared duties.

While performing her rituals, the regina wore a headdress called the arculum, formed from a garland of pomegranate twigs tied up with a white woolen thread. The rex & regina sacrorum were required to marry by the ritual of confarreatio, originally reserved for patricians. But after the Lex Canuleia of 445 BC, it’s possible that the regina could’ve been plebeian. Plebeians/plebs were the general body of the free Roman citizens who weren’t patricians.

The office of Rex Sacrorum wasn’t a highly coveted position among the patricians. Although the rex sacrorum was technically superior to the pontiffs, the rank conferred no real political gain. Because of this, there would be some years without a rex sacrorum at all.

By the time of Antony’s civil war, the office was entirely in disuse. But seems to have been revived later by Augustus, as there was mention of it during the empire until it was probably abolished by Theodosius I.

🚫 Oh, the forbidden fruit of parenting wisdom—apparently locked behind the elusive 403 wall. Who knew that the secret to creating the ultimate diaper-wearing prodigy was denied to us mere mortals? 🤷‍♂️ Guess we'll have to settle for average babies like the rest of the #plebs. 🍼

The TV show Plebs is on Tubi and while it is an awesome show I'm more fascinated by the Roman set it is filmed on. Great job Bulgarians! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nu_Boyana_Film_Studios

While going through work's mandatory anti-bribery training I've noticed one thing. What's considered bribery and very illegal for us plebs is ok and considered standard operating procedure for high-ranking gov. officials, the Supreme Court, large corporations, and the rich.

Dear Friends of #cakes (pan cakes that is), ​:ablobcatcoffee:​
As you may know, the easiest recipe is two #eggs and one mashed up banana (a recipe beloved of #Minions) 🍌
#Search for '2 ingredient one banana two egg pancakes', if you missed the recipe. I sprinkled it with #lime juice and had #strawberries and #grapes as a side delight. #Breakfast yum. Done. ✔️

So now to the less important and #impotent events. Managed to send a #federated #toot from my #apple #iphoney, without swearing and #ranting about having to use one #finger. Nigella #Ferengi Farage (UK) and Donna 'Nazi gal' T-Rump are still in the news? Why? Feed them to the #hogs. They will and have, us poor minions, #plebs and armchair #anarchists. ​:anarchy:​

And in #luvvly news:
- #Trees to be given the #vote (oh wait that was a #dream) 😇
- #Witched... eh #watched 3 episodes of 'The #Acolyte'. Good? Yes.
- Drinking a pot of black #tea and #spiced #turmeric teabags. With milk. Works. Good.

Have a wonderful #Sith, Sin, Sun, day. Be kind to everything... especially yourself. 🦋

I have lately been watching Plebs on ITVX... on season 4 now and it is so so hilarious.

I absolutely love the character named Grumio played by super fabulous Ryan Sampson. We have been greeting each other at home with Salve wifey, alright hubby and so on.

Wonder if there are any fans of the show here.

Eine Menschengruppe als #Plebs zu bezeichnen ist beleidigend und schmeichelt gleichzeitig der Bildung des Sprechenden, weil das Wort aus dem Lateinischen stammt. Dort wird es freilich nicht abwertend gebraucht. Lesen Sie mehr in unserer #Wortgeschichte: https://www.zdl.org/wb/wortgeschichten/Plebs

So you think not having search will discipline people into using hashtags? Or are you hoping to keep 'plebs' off of Mastodon?

...champion der Klasse (i.S.v. "Kaste") der #Plebs als Vorläufer von #Parteien zu sehen, halte ich für gewagt, v.a. wenn man sieht, wie das Amt in der späten #RömischenRepublik verkam, (#Gracchen, #Saturninus, Drusus), bis es der Diktator #Sulla extrem beschränkte.

Aber ich erhebe hier keinen Anspruch auf die alleinige Richtigkeit meiner Sichtweise. ;)

This is my one week this year that I’m playing #games almost every day. It was mostly a bunch of #DwarfFortress for the past couple of days. But now I also tried #Carrion.

It’s pretty cool, actually mostly somewhat chill. Though to understand that description and accept it you probably have to be able look past the fact that it’s technically a gore/horror game where you play as an amorphous flesh-blob tentacle monster with multiple mouths going around eating people, infesting a scientific/military facility, mind controlling humans and making them kill themselves, etc.

But it’s just the right level of difficulty for a #plebs gamer like myself. Plus the whole #pixelArt graphics vibe is really cool.
