II.   Sovereign

Possessio is the Latin word equivalent to the ancient Holly Irish term of “seal” to describe the sacred condition of being custodian over something and therefore having some degree of control or use over it.

The Latin word custodian from custos meaning “guard, protector, keeper” itself is derived from the ancient Holly Irish term “cum” meaning “hold, keep” and “sto” meaning “to stand; to remain in position, stand firm; to persist; to continue”.

The Roman legal concept of Possessio recognized the same ancient Holly principle that no mortal man or woman may claim to “own” the land, only its use and right of use as a valid custodian.

The Roman legal concept of Possessio recognized the same ancient Holly principle that no one could physically seize possession of land already possessed by others. Therefore, possession had to be both legal and lawful.

The Roman legal concept of Possessio differed from the ancient tradition of seal and other forms of land possession with the introduction of the concept of occupatio whereby merely holding the land alone did not grant full ownership unless the possessor was also the occupier having legal title and occupation through registration.

Under Roman law, non citizens were deprived from the right to register Occupatio. Therefore non citizens continued to live on the land, but lost effective ownership of land under the control of the Roman Empire.

Under Roman law, Roman troops, officials and citizens were absolutely forbidden to take possession of sacred temples and sanctuaries, especially those sites considered sacred to the official cults. The penalty for any Roman troops, officials or citizens that desecrated a sacred temple or enclosed sacred space by forced entry and military possession were extremely severe, usually involving death and even the complete enslavement of families of disgraced officials.

The Roman Army did not breach the absolute rule of Roman Law forbidding entry or damage to sacred sites during the siege of Jerusalem. Instead, it was the Nazarenes that destroyed the most sacred Temple to Mithra in the ancient world on the exact day and month precisely six hundred and sixty six (666) years to the day of the destruction of the Temple to Satan by Nebuchadnezzar in 596 BCE.

The first time the desecration of sacred sites, enclosed sanctuaries occurred in any great number was through the various Khazar tribes that became Muslims such as the Umayyad, the Abbasid and later the Magyar founders of the Roman Death Cult being the greatest force in history for dishonor of sacred land and sacred sites and sacredness in general.
