DEXTRARUM IUNCTIO : IULII -  SEVERA ET PROBUS.

The most important person from a roman wedding was the bride. In that day, she renounces at tunica " praetexta" and, she wears tunica "recta". Then, using a special comb, "hasta caelibaris", she will do a special hairdo, a loop of hair. To it she put an orange veil, "flammeum", and a "palla" will cover her shoulders. On the top of her head, a nice flowers coronet will be knitted.
After the augural sacrifice, the "tabulae nuptiales" is signed. Ten witnesses are present for that moment, and then, an old woman, married once, "univira", will unify the right hands of bride and groom. This is "dextrarum iunctio", the roman wedding solemn moment.
In these modern days the events are different. But the feelings are the same for two from our citizens, Iulius Probus and Iulia Severa. Today is "sponsalia" and tomorrow, "cena nuptialis". Let  wish them a happy wedding !
