acta

One of the earliest ancestors of the modern newspaper was the Acta Diurna Populi Romani, or “Daily Acts of the Roman People.”

Julius Caesar established the Acta Diurna to weaken his political opponents by revealing the proceedings of government.

The mountain Prion was called Lepre Acta; it overhangs the present city, and has on it a portion of the wall.

Smyrna therefore was situated near the present gymnasium, at the back of the present city, but between Tracheia and Lepre Acta.

These publications were called acta diurna urbis or acta diurna populi.

A full description of these instruments and of the calculations will be found in the Acta Reg Soc.

After acta had been sent to the honourable the central court, about fourteen days passed over before any answer was received.
