I study the use of ritual, sacrifice, punishment, torture, and execution as Religious Social Control in the Roman Republic.

This is my favorite quote from the letter:
"Many idle reports have circulated unworthy the attention of any candid mind, but still the Trumpeters will do their duty and many take a delight in echoing their idle tales."

@bolddreamer.bsky.social may do something like that eventually, but right now...we're just trying to gather together all of the History and show people how remarkable these people were...especially the Ladies...because they were well educated, intelligent, and understood the politics and society.

True, Ann's sister, Elizabeth had 14 "lying ins" in the first 10 years of her marriage to LIttleton Dennis Teackle - of those, 2 were born alive, only one (her daughter) lived (Elizabeth's son died three hours after his birth.)
It is my theory that Ann's bout with Jaundice likely sterilized her.

Thank you kindly! Though my era is a bit earlier I love having things like this in my Library!
Let me know if you are looking for anything in particular. I will go through my articles/DLs for you. Tomorrow is a Dissertation writing day. As you know, PhDs don't earn themselves!

I think I own everything that Jörg Rüpke has published that I have access to. LOL. I'm torn between wanting to call him "The Standard that we should aspire to" and saying "Dr. Rüpke, would you be kind enough to save some scholarship for the rest of us?!" LOL

That's really fascinating! I'd love to read one of your papers. Where are you published? I study the use and manipulation of religion by wealthy elites as a means to control the greater populace in the Roman Republic.

Done, and passed on to my colleagues at University of North Texas.

Done. I will forward it, as well, to my colleagues.

The System isn't rigged against parties changing ideologies or focus or what-have-you. Historically speaking, it's happened numerous times over the last 248.5 years. Hell, it's a constant in various nations since Khufu became Pharoah. Biggest issue is familiarity: humans like consistency, not chaos.

This is the opening line in the passage and my favorite:
"With you, I grieve for the loss your country has sustained in the death of your great Hero. Few are the ages that produce such characters, but we shall hope, as America is yet in her infancy, that she will produce many who will emulate him."

Unfortunately, today I am caught in grading hell. I will get back to writing after the weekend.
