Salvete Quirites!
According to my watch, only a few hours remain to declare my
candidacy. I do so now: I am ready to serve Nova Roma as a Quaestor.
I did not step forward earlier because I hoped I could postpone it
a year and collect experience "from the second row". But since we
do not have enough people willing to run for this office, I feel I
have to throw myself into the breach. The reason for my candidacy
is not lust for power. Nova Roma _needs_ people who get involved.
I believe this is my task now.
I have been a Nova Roman citizen for two years minus two weeks now
- I admit I was not very active. I am already changing that: I have
recently been approved as Scriba Propraetoris by Censor Diocletianus
and I am going to work in Senator Quintilianus' future staff.
Personally, I would be content with that, but Nova Roma's urgent
need for candidates overrides my personal preferences.
I do not have a big program to advertise: I just promise to fulfill
my future tasks the best I can. - And since I'm a student of Latin,
I will do all I can to prevent bad Latin in official texts ;-)
Please give me the possibility to prove myself.
Thank you.
Gnaeus Octavius Noricus
