When I channel the Romans they use a lot of body language when they speak. Many of their gestures I can guess what it means, but others are too exotic and needed some more pondering before I figure them out. You might spot even more body language in the channelings, I write down what the Romans are doing when they talk.
PALM OF THE HAND FORWARD
The most common gesture they use when we talk is that they put the palm of one hand forward on an extended rigid arm, the fingers of the hand are together and the four fingers are pointing upward. Often but not always it is accompanied by looking away with their head. The palm of the hand should be facing me. This is a sign of dismissal. It means that they don't care about what I am saying or who I am. But they also use it to add validity to what they are saying, and it can mean that what they are saying is non-debatable. They use it a lot.
ARM SWEEP
Another very frequently used gesture is when they hold the palm of one hand forward on a rigid arm, the fingers of the hand are pointing up, and then they sweep the arm in front of them, the arm starts in front of them and is sweapt from center and toward the outside usually toward the right side. The arm is sweapt in front of them always slowly. They seem to use it to add emphasis to what they have said, as if to add "wow" to what they said. It also seems to mean reverence, to what they said. You will have to look for the many examples in the channeled text to see examples of when it is used.
BEGGING HANDS
This one I first saw with Hortensia and her father Quintus Hortensius Hortalus. The person arches their back while leaning down toward the floor, and holds their arms forward thusly: the upper arm leans downward toward the floor, the arms are bent much at the elbows, and the forearms reach upward. Hands are with the palms of the hands facing upward, and fingers are kept spread apart and notably cramped, I call it "the fingers are cramped like crow's feet". This gesture is done to beg for mercy and pity and to show that the person is completely helpless, as if to show, "look, can you not see that there is nothing in my hands". It is a gesture made during times of utmost desperation. It looks like begging and pleading, however it means that one is completely humble and helpless and desperate.
CRYING WITH FINGERS ON EYES
What surprised me the most about Romans is that the men are not afraid to cry. One gesture that sometimes appears, is that a Roman is crying and puts the four fingers of each hand to cover the eyes, while the eyes are kept closed. The four fingers of the left hand on the left eye, and the four fingers of the right hand on the right eye. The hands are kept so that the palms of the hands are facing toward the face, and the fingers are pointing upward, and the palm of the hand and thumb are below the four fingers. You will have to look for examples of this gesture to try to read into what it means.
CRYING REAL TEARS
Roman body language seems to me sometimes theatrical. One time when Julius Caesar found out that I had been tolerant about Pompeius Magnus, then Caesar started to cry real tears and declared that he would have to have my head shaved, me sent to the slavehouse of Justus, and exiled from Rome, because Caesar had exiled Pompeius so I should not side with Pompeius and he thought that I had. Roman men cry real tears when it is expected. It does not signal any kind of weakness or lack of masculinity. Romans cry when the time is right.
PFFSTT!
You will notice that one of Sulla's favorite phrases is Pffsstt! which he likes to say with holding the palm of the hand forward on a rigid arm. But, I have encountered other Romans using Pffsstt! also! Plutarchus the soldier and Marcus Junius Brutus both also used Pffsst, so it must be some commonplace Roman way of expression. It seems to mean "Nonsense!".
PUSHING GROIN AND CHEST OUT
Roman men sometimes correct their posture by standing tall and inflating their chest real big and pushing their chest out, this seems to require hands on hips and legs standing wide apart. They do this when they are feeling challenged, and so they are asserting their position and showing that they are strong and indefeatable.
Sometimes they push out both chest and groin. It reminds me of spirits I have seen from the 1700's. Men in the 1700's were very aware of their groins, they even wore colorful clothing over their groin and the groin was by no means meant to be obscure in their clothing, it was a kind of awareness of their sexuality, rather than today when men have to hide their groin and bulge. Roman men do not display their groin by any means, since it is hidden in their clothing. However, there are times when a Roman man takes on a posture which is identical with the chest out posture but then to also push the groin out. Sulla does this gesture a lot, so you can read almost any channeling where Sulla speaks to see how he uses this gesture, and perhaps you can figure out what this means. Obviously something to do with his manhood and presumably about his sexuality, but I'm not entirely sure about what it means.
One is tempted to assume that he is acting sexy, but I am not so sure. I think it might mean that he is showing off his self confidence and strength, that he is showing to me that he does not feel threatened. Sulla does not tend to think of me as sexually appealing, he prefers his male lovers. In fact, when a Roman man has decided to want to have sex with me then they will simply part their toga to show me their parts, so pushing the crotch out is not a way to suggest that they are interested. I think it means that he is showing off as a man, as just another way of pushing out the chest, to look confident and have poise. I almost wish that men would do that still today, it's kind of funny.
THE SOLDIER VOICE
Romans, especially the ones who served in military, or only those who served in the military, they can summon a whole different voice and body language at times. In this, their face suddenly becomes dark, their eyes become deep and dark and murderous evil, they frown, they look very intimidating and dangerous on their face, and their voice when they speak uses a very distinct demanding roaring voice. The soldiers use this at times. You see Plutarchus using this often in the channeling. Many of the others use this too. They can then snap out of it as quickly as they had entered into it, and use their normal voice again and the face returns back to normal. This is something they have learned in military training.
FINGERS FOLDED DOWN
One of my favorites is when the Roman holds both hands forward, it looks just like when a cat is standing on its rear legs and has the front paws up and forward and is begging. So that the hands are up and the arms are folded at the elbows. The hands are set next to each other, so that thumb is against thumb, and the four fingers of the hands are facing forward horisontally. The Roman then folds the four fingers of the hands down. It is also a kind of dismissal, it seems to mean "you are boring".
YAWN
When a Roman's name is mentioned, that in itself means that he becomes more famous. A Roman who does an unforgivable act becomes "nameless", his or her name is not mentioned anymore. When I mentioned some names to Julius Caesar and it turned out to be persons that are not "important" in the Roman rank system, or when he mentions names of someone who has a particularly low rank, he makes a notable yawn. He will put one hand's four fingers against his mouth and then yawns notably, to show that the person is unimportant, or literally boring. I love when he does that, it's fun.
READY TO HIT
When a Roman man is irritated with me beyond his patience and tolerance threshold, he will raise one of his hands flat with the fingers pointing up, the arm is bent at the elbow, it is in the pose ready to hit. I've learned that Roman men can reprimand a woman by striking one hand across her face once. They are angry when they do this, but they can also hold the hand up to show that they are ready to strike, or to show that they are irritated. I only get this reaction when I continue to provoke them with persistent questions and I am really bothering them.
HAND IS A WALL
Julius Caesar and others have done this. The Roman man can put one of his hands up so that the palm of the hand is facing him, and so using the hand as a barrier to cut me off. It clearly signals "go away, I am not interested".
RUBBING THE FINGERS
Julius Caesar did this one. He holds one of his hands up a bit and rubs the thumb against the other fingers on that hand slowly. It means something, it is a clear signal of something, but I don't know what it means.
LAUGHTER
Did the Romans laugh? Yes they do! Sulla likes to laugh a lot. Then we have to ask ourselves, at what times do they laugh? I notice that Romans laugh at times when people today would not laugh. Marcus Junius Brutus laughs deeply when he talks about how badly he was hurt when he was raped by men, what should have been anger or sadness, in how a man would react to something like that today, instead Brutus laughs. I see many examples of the same, that at times of tremendous sadness or anger, the Roman man will instead laugh. The best way to study at what times the Romans laugh, is to read all of the Sulla chapters.
