Before I stick my neck out and volunteer for something, I like to know what
I'm getting myself into. It's not that I don't want to get involved in the
Nova Roma political system, necessarily, but from the descriptions of the
offices, it's nearly impossible to determine what's involved. (See
Vigintisexviri description above as a perfect example.) Would it be
possible for someone to provide a better explanation of what such positions
entail or maybe anecdotal descriptions of what they have entailed in the
past?

Gratias.

Lol! I wouldn't say that exactly... there are few enough of us of ANY stripe
that anyone is being lost in the crowd. The only real factor in this sort of
thing is whether or not a person/gens chooses to participate in conversation,
so it's good to see you posting. ;)

> I am writing this because I feel that Barbarians are

I heartily agree! One of the original plans for the Nova Roma website was to
have entire sections on Rome and other cultures, i.e.: "The Celtic-Roman
World", "The Egyptian-Roman World", "The Germanic-Roman World", or some such
titles. Each section would have an overview of how each culture participated
in Classical Roman civilization. Included would be such things information
on how religions and cultures were blended, Citizens who rose to political
prominence in the Roman world, etc. It is an important point that Rome was on
the whole inclusive rather than exclusive, and this is surely something that
could be good for Nova Roma to promote.

Unfortunately, there simply haven't as yet been enough people to generate all
the needed info, or the people to organize it and post it to the web. No
doubt it will be done at *some* point. We could well see a jump in
Citizenship when that happens - there are many people out there who have
connections to more than one ancient culture.

>In the days of Rome, the Barbarians
were supposedly conquered by Rome and eventually sacked the very city that
claimed rulership over them. My question is this, how can Nova Roma exist
without other cultures being involved as well? Toward that end, I introduce
myself. I may be a paterfamilias in Nova Roma, but I am also what you would
consider a barbarian. I do not hold allegiance to the Gods of Rome, but
neither do I willingly displease them. I am a follower of the Viking Gods,
and I seek other "barbarians" to join my Gens. I want Gens Virginia to
become the Barbarians Gens.

One of these days I've GOT to go through my books and make a decent listing
of the deities that were shared by both the Germans and Romans. There are a
multitude of inscriptions to such deities throughout Gaul and the Rhine, no
doubt from Germanic troops who became part of the Legions, (and of course the
towns where they were stationed and/or settled).

Very nice stuff! I'm sure that there are many ways that your artwork could
benefit Nova Roma. There are surely folks among us who are in need of deity
images, or historical scenes, etc. (I'll in fact be sending you a private
Email regarding a piece or two for the Julian Society!)

One thing you might definitely consider is adding some color to your artwork,
and vending prints through the Macellum. I'm quite certain that the Censors
would be more than pleased to accept you for the Ordo Equester once your
Citizenship has gone through... as a vendor you could provide Citizens with
specialty artwork unavailable elsewhere, make some money for yourself, and
also a bit for the Nova Roma treasury as well. (Ordo Equester members donate
10% of sales in return for being included in the Nova Roma website.)

Sulla: Nova Roma's point of historical reference goes from the Republic era
to the Imperial Era. With that in mind, it does incorporate the time frame
where citizenship was granted to everyone. Nova Roma is not a re-enactment
group. We are a micronation dedicated to establishing our sovernigty in
today's modern world. With that in mind, Nova Roma is striven to
incorporate all periods of Roman History, from 753 bce - 395 ce. As we all
know from history the term Roman has definately changed and evolved from the
time of the Early Republic til the time of Caracalla when he granted
citizenship to everyone in the Empire. There might be specific differences
in each one of us, but in the end what binds us all together is our love of
Roman Culture and Virtues. Nova Roma is very much like ancient Rome, we
have people of different religious beliefs, different cultures and different
norms....but our belief in the Res Publica and the Spirit that was and now
is Rome binds us together.

My record is unofficial, the official record of candidacy being in the
purview of the censores, but this is what I have, as of today:

- 2 candidates for consul, 2 vacancies
- 1 candidate for praetor, 2 vacancies
- 1 candidate for quaestor, 8 vacancies
- 1 candidate for tribunus plebis, 2 vacancies

There are many other offices to become vacant at the end of this year:
please see the list provided in Palladius' announcement, posted to this
list, as well as on the message board
(<a href="http://beseen4.looksmart.com/boardroom/j/17263/View?n=01601" target="_top" >http://beseen4.looksmart.com/boardroom/j/17263/View?n=01601</a>)

:Please reiterate the closing date for announcing candidatures.

The deadline to announce candidacy, as stated in Palladius' announcement,
is 1800 Roman time, November 30, ii Kal Dec. That's a couple of days from
now -- so please, all those who can, declare your candidacy now. I would
like to point out that people who hold provincial positions are not in any
way, shape or form barred from running for these offices in the central
administration. I would say, chances are that people who have been serving
in provincial capacities would do great in the central administration.

Furthermore, one person's declaration of candidacy for an office should not
be taken as a sign that others cannot run for that office. There's nothing
wrong with the voters having a choice.

:Maybe this will stir some more candidates.
:We can hope.

I hope so. If we don't see a flood of candidacy announcements within the
next couple of days, it means that all the vacancies will be left to the
Senate to fill next year by appointment.

Date:	Sun, 28 Nov 1999 21:01:01 -0500

Salvete Luna et alii

Since Nova Roma is still very new, all the offices are still being defined.
We do have a constitution, however, that defines the offices:

<a href="http://novaroma.org/aerarium_saturni/constitution_new.html" target="_top" >http://novaroma.org/aerarium_saturni/constitution_new.html</a>

The official descriptions of all offices are there.

Now I'll say a little bit about what I see each office entailing, all very
unofficial and neither here nor there, basically, but hopefully will help
answer your question:

Consules duo -- The joint chief executives, the magistrates that bring
business before the Senate and direct all the magistrates by virtue of their
power of intercessio, or veto, over just about everyone else's actions.
They also can convene the comitia centuriata, which is important because it
makes them the principal conduits, to put it crudely, through which laws
would come before the people in what seems to be Nova Roma's most important
assembly. Past/current consules (in no particular order)= people from whom
you could get specific answers to specific questions about the office = M
Cassius Iulianus, F Vedius Germanicus, Q Caecilius Metellus, L Equitius
Cincinnatus, D Iunius Palladius, L Cornelius Sulla

Censores duo -- Senior magistrates who do, seemingly, by far the most work
in Nova Roma. They approve new citizenship applications, form the tribes
and centuries and maintain various alba of citizens, gentes et cetera. This
has been a really critical office for Nova Roma, and we definitely need both
censores on the job. If noone steps up to fill this office, we'll feel some
effect rather quickly, I'm sure. Exempli = M Cassius Iulianus, F Vedius
Germanicus, D Iunius Palladius

Praetores duo -- This high office seems so far in NR to be defined mainly as
a stepping stone between lower office and the office of consul. Probably
because the chief function of the corresponding ancient office during much
of the Republic was maintaining procedures for legal resolution of disputes
among citizens, a very complicated function compared to those of other NR
magistracies. M Mucius Scaevola Magister drafted an edict, to become the
basis for NR civil law. I anxiously await its publication and reception
here. Exempli = L Equitius Cincinnatus, D Iunius Palladius, L Cornelius
Sulla, M Mucius Scaevola Magister, M Minucius Audens

Aediles curules duo -- Different interpretations have been applied to this
office: some have treated it as a web-development/maintenance function
(derived from the "physical plant" responsibilities of ancient aediles),
while more recently Fabius has stressed the entertainment function. Noone
has ever run for this office in an election -- it has so far only been
filled by senatorial appointment, and looks to continue to be that way
perhaps :(. Exempli = Iunia Cypria, M Martianus Gangalius, Q Fabius Maximus

Aediles plebis duo -- A Gryllus Graecus has stressed the organization of
public festivals, based on recreating traditional Roman festivals in
innovative ways, like the poetry and prose contests as part of the revived
Ludi Apollinares this year. Another example of someone who has held the
office is the winner of the first constitutional elections in the comitia
plebis tributa, G A Secundus Germanicus.

Tribunus plebis -- Voces populi, they are supposed to watch the actions of
the Senate and magistrates to make sure that everything is done in
accordance with the constitution and in the interest of the People, the
latter defined in the ancient Republic as the plebs, but inclusive of
everyone really in NR, since patricians and plebeians are basically in the
same boat here in NR. This office has proven controversial already in our
brief history, with a feirce contest for it last December, then allegations
of gross misconduct against one of those who came out victorious. Some
people want to scrap the office, along with the patrician/plebs distinction,
but I say, as with all the offices, let's define and serve in them
positively. Exempli = A Gryllus Graecus, Q Caecilius Metellus, Tullius
Callidus

Quaestores -- Assistants to high magistrates, with financial responsibility.
The office has been combined with other functions, then narrowed a bit, as
NR has developed and been re-tooled. Exempli = Patricia Cassia, Piperbarbus
Venator, L Cornelius Sulla, M Minucius Audens

Vigintisexviri -- This is a mixed basket of offices created by Germanicus to
answer specific needs of NR that had been served less than optimally under,
or had appeared in parrallel to, the old system of magistracies. They have
as a group (if not in function of course) precedent, at least in the
Augustan period, as an entry level into public service. In this group are
the webmaster/mistress (curator/trix araneae), list moderator (curator/trix
sermonum), newsletter editor (curator/trix differum) and voting officials
(rogatores duo). The nice thing about these offices from the perspective of
a new person is that they have relatively concrete objectives and duties --
in one of these offices, one need not worry about one should perhaps be
doing, just how exactly to get the job done. Exempli = Germanicus, Fimbria,
Audens, Fortunatus and me.

In addition to the above offices, people can serve as assistants to those
magistrates that need help, under such titles as scribus or accensus.

Since you indicate that you would like to know what you are getting yourself
into, I recommend that you consider one of the vigintisexviri positions --
how about counting the votes in next year's elections :)?

I'm game. I'd also be interested in helping out with the Eagle. I'm
already copy editor for one journal, but I don't know much about desktop
publishing, so I couldn't do the job myself. If someone wanted to take me
on as a sort of apprentice, however, I'd be willing.

So where does that put me?

It is my understanding from the past that some of the positions can not be
filled by appointment. If there is no one for that post, they will be left
empty
until next year at this time. I'm sure that some of the positions would be
filled
in some way. Posts like the overseer of the web, overseer of the conversation,

overseer of the news and the voting officials. (Palladius also listed these
positions
in his post. As yet no one has stood for those posts.)

Thank you, Merullus, for you helpful response to my question.

Bene vale.

C. Aelius Ericius.

I shall endevour to continue to do honor to my "duospiritae" as Roman and
Asatruar.

Salve Lucius Cornelius,

When I last looked, the Nova Roma Web site said that we were dedicated to
reviving the Roman values and virtues of the Roman Republic. When was
that expanded to include "all periods of Roman history?" Was this a
decision made by the Comitiae and the Senate or is this just one person's
reinterpretation of the charter?

I'm certain many here will eagerly await your clarification on this.

Vale,

L. Sergius Aust.

As much as I hate saying this, please read the www.novaroma.org/main.html.
The very first sentence states: NOVA ROMA is an organization dedicated to
the study and restoration of ancient Roman culture. From its legendary
founding in 753 BCE to 330 CE, when it ceased to be the center of Imperial
authority, Rome set the standard and laid the foundation for our modern
Western civilization.

I hope that answers your question.

L. Cornelius Sulla
Consul
