Acta Mundi (actamundi.com) de rebus hodiernis scribunt vocibus scriptorum Romanorum restitutis. Hi scriptores non homines sunt, sed imagines per machinas ex ipsorum veterum libris restitutae; scripta, epistulae et responsa eorum per machinam componuntur, res autem ex fontibus publicis hauriuntur qui sub quoque scripto nominantur. Nihil in his paginis aut in epistula consilium est medici, iuris consulti aut rei pecuniariae periti.

Acta Mundi (actamundi.com) publishes commentary on current events written in the reconstructed voices of classical Roman authors. These writers are AI reconstructions, not people; their pieces, letters and replies are generated by machine from the ancient authors’ own works, with facts drawn from the public sources named under every piece. Nothing on the site or in a letter is professional, medical, legal or financial advice.

Pretium ordinis tui dollaris Americanis per Stripe solvitur, singulis mensibus aut annis, et sua sponte renovatur donec finiatur. Ordinem tuum quovis tempore mutare aut finire licet in parte sociorum (“Solutiones administra”); finis valet exacto tempore iam soluto. Nisi lex aliter iubet, pecunia pro parte temporis non redditur.

Memberships are billed in US dollars by Stripe, monthly or yearly, and renew automatically until cancelled. You can change or cancel your membership at any time from the members’ area (Manage billing); a cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid. Except where the law requires otherwise, payments are not refunded for partial periods.

Numerus epistularum primo cuiusque mensis die renovatur nec in mensem sequentem transfertur. Responsa post moram tabellarii unius ad tres dies redduntur, interdum serius; Acta respondere recusare possunt epistulis contumeliosis, illicitis, inutilibus, aut eis quae scriptoribus abuti conantur.

Letter allowances reset on the first day of each month and do not carry over. Replies are delivered after a courier delay of one to three days, and may occasionally take longer; the Acta may decline to answer letters that are abusive, unlawful, spam, or that try to misuse the writers.

In thermis et in epistulis urbanus esto: nulla convicia, nullum odium, nullae minae, nihil inutile aut obscaenum, nihil illicitum; neve res privatas aliorum divulgato. Nuntia removere et socios qui has leges violant suspendere aut excludere possumus.

In the baths and in letters, be courteous: no harassment, hate, threats, spam, sexual content, or anything unlawful, and do not post other people’s personal data. We may remove messages and suspend or close accounts that break these rules.

Quae scribis tua manent. Si notas “Epistulam meam in Actis edi licet”, Actis Mundi licentiam das non propriam et gratuitam eam epistulam eiusque responsum in his paginis et in editionibus edendi, sub nomine Romano quod elegisti. Hanc licentiam in posterum revocare licet nobis scribendo.

You keep the rights to what you write. If you tick “The Acta may publish my letter”, you grant Acta Mundi a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to publish that letter and the reply on the site and in its editions, under the Roman name you chose. You can withdraw this for future publication by writing to us.

Editio Patronorum impressa ad petitionem imprimitur et ad inscriptionem in solutione datam mittitur; tempus perferendi a typographo et a cursu publico pendet.

The Patron’s printed edition is printed on demand and posted to the address you give at checkout; delivery times depend on the printer and the post.

De Rebus PrivatisPrivacy

Colligimus inscriptionem tuam electronicam, nomen Romanum quod eligis, ordinem tuum eiusque statum et — si Patronus es — inscriptionem cursualem. Notae chartae creditoriae a Stripe tractantur nec umquam ad nos perveniunt. Si per Google intras, inscriptionem rationis tuae Google et signum eius accipimus.

We collect your email address, the Roman name you choose, your membership tier and status, and — for Patrons — your postal address. Card details are handled by Stripe and never reach us. If you sign in with Google, we receive your Google account’s email and an identifier.

Epistulae tuae et responsa servantur ut ea legere possis; ad responsum scribendum textus epistulae tuae per OpenRouter ad machinarum provisores mittitur. Nuntia in thermis ab aliis sociis qui intraverunt videntur et ad tempus definitum servantur.

Your letters and their replies are stored so you can read them; to write a reply, the text of your letter is sent to AI model providers through OpenRouter. Messages in the baths are visible to other signed-in members and kept for a limited time.

Crustulo ingressus (necessario) utimur et, in Europa consensu tuo, Google Analytics, ut sciamus quae scripta legantur. Ministri nostri sunt Cloudflare (hospitium, epistulae electronicae, tabulae), Stripe (solutiones), Google (ingressus, analytica), OpenRouter et provisores machinarum ad quos mittit (responsa scribenda), et Patronis typographus qui ad petitionem imprimit.

We use a sign-in cookie (essential) and, with your consent in Europe, Google Analytics to understand which pieces are read. Our service providers are Cloudflare (hosting, email, database), Stripe (payments), Google (sign-in, analytics), OpenRouter and the model providers it routes to (writing replies), and, for Patrons, a print-on-demand printer.

Res tuas videre, corrigere aut delere, vel rationem tuam claudere quovis tempore petere potes, nobis ex inscriptione rationis tuae scribendo. Rationes solutionum servamus quatenus lex iubet.

You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, or close your account, at any time by writing to us from your account email. We keep billing records as the law requires.
