I PROMISE YOU PANEM ET CIRCENSES !!

§ http://italia.novaroma.org/fac/index.htm §

What does this mean? It means I can offer you what you want like ancient
roman Magistrates did: growth of Nova Roma and entertainment !

PANEM:
In my opinion the growth of our Res Publica must proceed by engagement in
the academic, historical, reenatcment fields. We have to show Nova Roma as
the most important organization in the world for Classical Culture, able to
create and realize "live" projects. My goals are to  continue the jobs of
Quintilianus working on the project of restoration of famous ruins, like the
Temple of Magna Mater and the Library of Herculaneum.
We could do it by contacting the local institutions and the experts about
these subjects, making donations, and having an important role in this
field!
However we have to advertize Nova Roma and we can do it by entering ourself
in the reenactement člite. My first goal is to organize the 2nd European
Nova Roman Rally in Bologna (Italy - August 2003), inviting all the most
important reenactors and making it like an Ancient Roman live-Forum.

CIRCENSES:
During the last year I have served as Quaestor to our wonderful Curule
Aedile Caeso Fabius Quintilianus, the man who has changed the idea of
Magistracy and especially Aedileship. In this period I organized 4 Ludi
within virtual races; movies; cultural, military and fashion contests;
religious events; concerts and shows.
Now I would like to continue my job organizing more big and exciting games
for you all. My goal is to make Nova Roma the most exciting and fun
experience for a lover of Roma. How? First of all I'll increase the sport
event: Ludi Circenses (chariot races), Munera Gladiatoria (gladiatores fight
gladiatores), Venationes (gladiatores against animals), Naumachiae (virtual
naval battles) are a little part of what I can do. And at the end of the
year the most important event: the PROVINCIAL OLYMPIC GAMES !!!
Next, I would like to increase the culture and theatre in our community,
developing better and more movies, organizing cultural contests and maybe
being a bit satirical ;-) The best way to promote the culture and at the
same time to underline our faults is the Satire, just like our ancient
fore-fathers did it!

My last goal is about legal issue. This is a very important point because we
have to start managing our little economy. With my colleague Illustrus
Gnaeus Equitius Marinus (running for Curule Aedile too) and in accordance
with the next Praetor, I would like to improve the juridical and commercial
administration. Following tradition, the Curule Aediles have to check the
commerce of the Res Publica investigating faults, crimes, etc. I'm sure our
commercial citizens in the Macellum are hard-working as well as honest,
however we have to prevent problems and create a fixed juridical and
investigation system.
In the same way, the Curule Aediles have "to ensure order at public
religious events, to see to the maintenance of any real public facilities
that the State should acquire, and to administer the law". In collaboration
with the next Praetor, I would like to create a basis for legal
administration into which the future magistrates could build traditions upon
and where every citizen could ask for justice!
