Indeed, you caught the word, sententia, which like many Latin words has several related meanings: The oath asks for judgment or determination. However, the word also means opinion, feeling or will.

Ancient Roman Metal Used for Physics Experiments Ignites Science Feud
Physicists prefer Roman-era lead ingots to recently mined metal for shielding particle experiments, but archaeologists want them preserved
Why the Search for Dark Matter Depends on Ancient Shipwrecks
Errant particles from everyday radioactive materials are a major obstacle for particle physicists. The solution? Lead from the bottom of the sea.

Santa probably also doesn't have people out to do him in (although these days one can't say for sure)

Imperial Roman fast food joint to reopen its doors after almost 2000 years of shutdown ...
(the dig began in 2019 but has now been completed)
Someone needs to copy the interior design and start a new chain.
(Maybe we can come up with a good name?)
As shown by the signs and residues found this was down to earth Roman fast food.
None of that nonsense about larks' tongues, otters' noses and Tuscany fried bats.

I guess the Romans have really done everything 'modern' already ... including cookie-cutter commercial constructionIt looks like it was built by the same firm that did the latrines at Housesteads on Hadrian's Wall, the design's basically very similar!

This video includes content from AFP. This partner has blocked the display of the video on this website or in this application.
Again one of the videos that are not allowed to be shown in Germany. I just wonder why every time?
The rest is visible and very interesting.

You have to click on the link "Watch on Youtube" in the black screen ... it's just embedding (in this case viewing while staying on cruxforums) that's disabled. I couldn't know that before posting ... it's AFP Deutschland and definitely works in Germany if you click through!
Thank you for the information.

The same 'opus caementicium' company? Pouring concrete food counters and latrines as well, using the same molds?It looks like it was built by the same firm that did the latrines at Housesteads on Hadrian's Wall, the design's basically very similar!

Lighten up on them. It's fast food--cost is the key factor.I guess the Romans have really done everything 'modern' already ... including cookie-cutter commercial construction

"Considered the foremost Latinist in the Vatican and possibly the world." Indeed a sad loss. But CruxForum's gain.

Not really a Roman resource, yet here's an article on the genre of “Toga Porn” [PDF] by Joanne Renaud.

Interesting video of what life in ancient Rome looked like. I'm not sure of the accuracy, but it was enjoyable - except that there wasn't one scene of a crucifixion!

Definitely not the city of Rome. Rome is several miles inland, not on the coast. The bridges over the Tiber weren't nearly that elaborate. Also, there are no high, craggy hills within the city. It's seems more like a fantasy composite of various city in Roman times including features such as the Colosseum from Rome and the Pharos lighthouse from Alexandria, while omitting other locations in Rome, particularly the Forum, the baths and the aqueducts.
And, there is a brief scene of a crucifixion, at about 2:20. In fact, I think I recognize it from a trailer for a version of the Assassin's Creed video game.
