In accordance with the leges of Nova Roma and after speaking with the Consuls, I stand in the Public Forum clad in toga candidata to stand for the office of Rogator. I have been a citizen since ante diem XII Kal. Nov. MMDCCLIV A.U.C. (October 20, 2001). I serve as Accensus Ordinarius in the Officina Aerarii of the Senior Consul, C. Fabius Quintilianus. I also work as a scriba for The Eagle under my noble cousin, T. Galerius Paulinus. I am a proud and happy member of the Gens Galera I am a practitioner of the Religio Romana and have presented classes on this subject at two pagan festivals. I am active on the mainlist and have participated in virtually every election or vote on new leges since I joined. I am currently doing research into the rites and duties of the Arval Brethren so that I might submit my name as a pontiff.
I am 43 years of age and hold degrees in history and communication arts. I am also a private businessman with stores in the physical and virtual worlds. I am married to a priestess of the Triple Goddess and am the step-father of three extraordinary persons, and grandfather of the most beautiful, intelligent, and divinely gifted little girl in the Nine Worlds. I have been a living historian for 28 years in the areas of Roman, medieval, 17th century, and American Civil War. I am a practitioner and believer in the Wiccan Mysteries, a Raven in Reformed Mithraism, and a student of other faiths & philosophies.
If Fortuna should favor me, I swear to fulfil the duties of Rogator in accordance with the leges of Nova Roma and in close cooperation with the Censors and other magistrates in all matters pertaining to voting and elections within the Republic. I welcome any support, public or private, for my candidacy and will answer any questions that anyone may have about what my expectations of service in this office will be.
May Di Immortales grant all that is appropriate, fortunate, and proper for the increase of our Republic and the People of Nova Roma.
Valete.
