"Beware the ides of March," said the Soothsayer

"He is a dreamer," says Caesar "let us leave him: pass."

Roman Iron Pugio Dagger Ca. 100-200 AD

A very rare hand forged iron pugio with a wide blade flaring at the end where the handle would have met the blade. The long tang once inserted into either a wooden, ivory, bone, or bronze handle. This is a rare and beautiful object, due to its iron content, the majority of these were lost to oxidation. The pugio was the standard military sidearm of the Roman legionary. Although arms and weaponry were stored collectively within a century, they belonged to the soldier individually.

L: 360mm / W:80mm; 354g.

Hi, curious as to how you feel about the interpretation of the tetragrammaton vs the pentagrammaton where instead of the demiurge interpretation of things it's supposed to be that IHVH enacts their wrath through the use of the four elements, represented by the four letters until the Holy Light/Spirit (Hebrew letter Shin) is introduced forming the pentagrammaton IHShVH which is when the more wrathful edges are softened. Idk I think it makes more sense than the whole "oh the old testament God is just a false evil God" idea and find it fascinating from a linguistic standpoint but I'm curious to know how you feel about it and if it's come up much in your research.

Oh man I just studied this. Tldr: "I find it academically interesting but morally repugnant."

Let me preface this by saying that I'm not Jewish, and I don't want to portray myself as an authority on Kabbalah. Its not my lane. My lane is all the bootleg knockoff derivations. So while I'm happy to discuss this corner of Christian esoterica, I wouldn't really consider this conversation complete without input from my Jewish colleagues.

SO

The Pentagrammaton comes from Johannes Reuchlin, from his book De Verbo Merifico. For some background on Reuchlin: He was the founder of Christian Hebrew studies. He's notable in that he was the first renaissance esotericist who could genuinely, read, and write, Hebrew. Like, Gershom Scholem calls him "first great Christian scholar of Hebrew" which is something. When you hear people talk about "Christian Cabbala" they're probably referring to something Reuchlin wrote.

I'm gonna be over-summarizing a complex concept here. The central idea of De Verbo is that through the use of esoteric techniques like gematria, one can derive the secret, esoteric name of Christ from the Tanakh, adding the letter "shin" to the center, thus proving that Jesus was secretly in the Tanakh the whole time, thus "completing" Judaism.

The idea behind all of this is that it was supposed to be a tool of conversion. The pentagrammaton was supposed to be this big mic drop conclusion that would totally convert them with facts and logic. It was just supersessionism, the Pugio Fidei in a slightly more verbose package. Personally, I find it academically interesting but morally repugnant.

Trick or treat! <3

(I know its not Halloween anymore, but I saw your post about how you wish you couldve done the inbox trick or treating. So, here I am! If you'll have me :3)

What a wonderful worm costume! Your treat is: the daggerblade grass shrimp (Palaemonetes pugio)

Alr there is not nearly enough Camp Jupiter appreciation (seriously, I feel like the only one who would choose it over CHB xd) (I love CHB but yea)

So here I am with Camp Jupiter/Roman demigods headcanons!

For starters I want you all to think about the fact that despite the traditions, those are still chaotic adhd kids/teens raised by literal wolves, thank you very much

While they might not have campfire songs, they do have more choir-ish, organised version. The Romans still liked art and also, there is no proper victory feast without singing, change my mind

Despite the rules and traditions, they still have fun. Think boarding school or even the military, they have fun sometimes too

Punishments for disobeying those rules and traditions are just stuff like extra training, cleaning, etc. because I just want them to have a happy childhood ok?

Cohorts actually create lifelong friendships, these people are each other's family

They (secretly) make fun of the rules and traditions, let's say, like the beginning of DPS

Siblings often just relax and chat in their parent's temple/shrine togheder, it's like when you and your sibling live away from each other but reunite at your mom's house xd

They have dyscalculia because their brains are hardwired for the roman numerals

Lupa's pack is like a family. Strict but loving (please just let the kids be happy)

Most of them still have some wolf-ish traits and behaviours

They have a fun Ides of March celebration where everyone carries their pugio (roman dagger) around the whole day and then they get together in the senate meeting and collectively stab a cake. Caesar's ghost is not very happy about this but he's dead so he can't really do much

They keep the tradition of having nicknames based on the person's character (which the Romans actually did)

They have history, culture, mythology, and latin classes/training/however you wish to refer to it

One of their horses is named Incitatus (you guessed it, after Caligula's favourite horse, which he planned to make a consul but sadly he was assassinated before he got to do it)

I'm not saying they have ea xylospongium, but I am saying it would be hilarious

Apollo kids often learn to play the lyre, lute, etc.

Idk if this is canon but New Rome should be mostly fireproof xdd

#roman demigods #camp jupiter #roman demigod headcanon #pjo hoo toa #heroes of olympus #percy jackon and the olympians #new rome #but the real question is: do they have the xylospongium?
