Salvete, Quirites


In this month, at 19 aprilis, will be the Cerealia, a Nefastus Publicus (Public Festival) in honor to the godess Ceres, a favorite divinity of the Plebeian Order; and in 21 aprilis, will be the Parilia/Roma Conditio, anniversary of Foundation of the City.

To commemorate this important dates, we, the Aediles Plebis, issue a Festival. These festival will consist in a contest, in the ten areas defined by the Colleges of the Sodalitas Musarum, a oficial association (Sodalitas) of Nova Roma. The rules of the contest will soon be issued, after this announcement.

I invite the Augures of Nova Roma to take the auspices for the festivities, and the Pontifices to accept this as a official festivity of Nova Roma.

Perhaps in the next festival we can do more:
- participation of another Sodalitas (as the Sodalitas Munerum, with "real" gladiatorial combats; perhaps one day we can see the Tribune Fortunatus, the Defender of the Plebs, against Consul Vedius, the Champion of the Patricians, with bamboo swords, or something innofensive; truly, the fight of the century! :-) ).
- ask the Senate to give Century Points to the winners;
- virtual/internet roman games, like chariot races or gladiator fights (we need volunteers);
- adequate the type of activity accordingly with the old Republican Roman Calendar.

We ask all the citizens of Nova Roma to contribute, with suggestions and participation.

From: Prima Lucilla Cornelia Fortunata <LucillaCornelia@-------->
Date: Sun, 1 Apr 2001 22:15:12 -0700 (PDT)
Salve Inaestimabile ProConsul,

I humbly request that you consider me for the position
of Cornicularis for Provincia Nova Britannia.

I have had extensive experience in positions which
have prepared me for the role of Cornicularis, namely
several Scriba positions (Scriba Militaria, Legio VI
Victrix; Scriba ad Sermonem Curatrix; Scriba Censorum)
which have given me an appreciation for the
intricacies of Provincial as well as Micronational
government, as well as a realistic perspective on the
requirements of the position.

I am an articulate, enthusiastic and devoted
spokesperson, one who enjoys functioning as a team
member in getting the job done -- and I'm not adverse
to rolling up my sleeves and getting my hands dirty.
Further, I share your vision of joint ventures with
adjacent Provincia and hope to be of service in
bringing that portion of your Plan to fruition.
Indeed, I hope to have the privilege and honor of
working toward making the vision delineated in your
Plan a reality for Nova Britannia.

It is my hope to move my household to Nova Britannia
at some point in the very near future. However, I
have no set plans as of this moment; this is a
short-term goal of mine.

I had thought to submit an application for Provincial
Religio Advisor, but deferred to the idea that Marcus
Cassius Iulianis, our Pontifex Maximus, would be your
ideal candidate.

I had also wished to apply for the position of
Provincial Aedile, as I have a deep affinity for the
responsibilities of Activities Advisor, as I believe
my activities with Legio VI Victrix in that capacity
demonstrate, as well as my collaboration with C.
Minucius Hadrianus in engineering face-to-face
meetings in Nova Britannia last month. I understand
you had wanted to fill this position with a Nova
Britannia resident; in absence of a suitable candidate
from the Provincia for this position, I humbly ask
that you consider me for this appointment. If you
deem I am unsuitable, may I humbly suggest that this
position be offered to C. Minucius Hadrianus? I can
think of no more excellent candidate for this office.

I am happy to assist you in any capacity. As regards
the preceding, I will defer to your decision in
assigning me to which office, if any, you feel I can
discharge most honorably and effectively on your
behalf and in the best interest of Provincia Nova
Britannia.

Gratias multas for your time and consideration.

Vale bene,
Lucilla

Subject: [novaroma] ATTN: Edictum Praetoricium
From: "Matthias Stappert" <3s@-------->
Date: Mon, 02 Apr 2001 06:55:14 -0000

Edictum Praetoricium
de Iurisdictio Praetoris

After consultation in the Nova Roma Law Committee,
the following edictum is hereby enacted:

I. Item of this Edictum

A. This Edictum covers procedures for civil suits
at the Court of the issuing Praetor.

B. Civil suits in the sense of this Edictum have
as their object solely legal relations between
citizens of Nova Roma (contracts, torts and
other civil matters).

C. Claims against Nova Roma, Magistrates in their
official function, the Nova Roma Senate, the
Nova Roma provinces or those Sodalitates that
have been approved by the Senate are not regulated
by this edictum. Furthermore, the iurisdiction of
the Praetor does not cover claims between citizens
of Nova Roma and members of the Ordo Equester, if the
claim relates to merchant trades.

II. Entitlement to action, formal requirements,
scope of a civil suit

A. Opposing Parties

1. Each citizen of Nova Roma has the right, without
discrimination as regards status, reputation or duration
of citizenship, to seek a remedy at the Praetor´s court
as plaintiff in civil suits.

2. Plaintiff and Defendant may be represented by another
citizen (advocate). To appoint an advocate a party has
to submit a written notice to the Praetor. This notice
may be part of the statement of claim. The notice has
to relate to all hearings and procedures.

B. The written statement of claim has to be transmitted
to the Praetor directly, via e-mail or other suitable ways,
with the following formal requirements:

1. The reference line of the statement of claim has to
start with "ATTN: Claim".
2. Plaintiff, Defendant, advocates and witnesses have to
be identified with full legal roman name.
3. The statement of claim must consist of the facts of the
case, the offering of available proof, the applicable law,
supporting arguments for the application of law on the
facts of the case.

C. The plaintiff may rely on written law (lex) or legally
binding Nova Roman custom (mos) for his claim. He may sue
the defendant for the fulfillment of an obligation, for
the confirmation of a legal right against the defendant
or for the confirmation of a legal relation with the
defendant.

III. Admissibility of claim

A. The Praetor acknowledges the receipt of the claim
to the plaintiff.

B. The Praetor rules by public edict on the admissibility
of the claim, taking into account the applicable law, the
facts of the case and the proofs presented. A claim may
only be rejected for obvious lack of a judicial basis
for the claim. Formal errors may be corrected by the
plaintiff within a time limit set by the Praetor. If
this time limit is neglected or if the corrections
are insufficient, the claim may be rejected by the
Praetor due to formal errors. A rejected claim cannot
be filed again, unless substantial new evidence is
presented which is material to the claim itself.

C. If the Praetor approves the claim he forwards it
to the defendant. The defendant is then obliged to
"make an appearance". To comply with this obligation
the defendant has to transmit an answering statement
with the same formal requirements as for the plaintiff's
statement to the Praetor within two weeks after its
receipt. If the defendant so applies, the Praetor may
prolong the time limit for the transmission of the
statement.
By failing to transmit a statement within the prescribed
time limit the defendant automatically loses the case.
The Praetor will then render a judgement confirming
the claim of the plaintiff without first appointing
a Iudex.

D. The defendant may acknowledge the claim. In this
case the Praetor confirms it by a publically certified
settlement. The settlement has to be announced to the
parties and both parties then have to swear a written
oath on the settlement. The publically certified
settlement and the written oath will be entered into
a public record.

E. If the plaintiff withdraws his claim before judgement,
he or she loses the right to address the Praetor's Court
with the same case in perpetuity. If the plaintiff
presents new evidence, which is material to the claim
itself, the Praetor decides, by his discretion, if the
presented evidence are sufficient enough to approve the
claim again.

IV. The Iudex

A. If the claim is admitted, the Praetor appoints an Iudex
for the trial by edict, during a period of two weeks after
the statement of the defendant is submitted. The iudex may
decline to serve by notifying the praetor of his desire.

B. The Iudex has to be citizen of Nova Roma. He or she has
to be qualified for the task of iurisdiction by his or her
education or experience. He or she is not allowed to hold
the office of Tribunus Plebis, Aedile Curule, Aedile Plebeian,
Praetor, Consul or Censor at the time of his appointment.
He or she is further not allowed to be a member of the same
gens as one of the opposing parties. If plaintiff and
defendant agree on a certain Iudex in a common application,
the Praetor shall appoint this Iudex, even if he is a
member of the same gens as one of the opposing parties.

The appointment of the Iudex by edict is final and ends
only by resignation or with judgement about the claim.

C. The Iudex investigates the case "ex officio" and in
a unbiased way, based on the statements of the plaintiff
and the defendant.
He or she shall obtain statements from the plaintiff and
the defendant, and may obtain statements relevant to the
facts of the case from the nominated witnesses.

He or she may also inquire for and accept all legal
evidence for the trial that seems suitable for the
investigation of the case. Citizens of Nova Roma are
obliged to testify truthfully in a trial. If plaintiff
and defendant agree on a certain fact of the case, the
investigation is restricted to the controversial facts of
the case.

D. The Iudex reports to the Praetor on request about the
progress of the investigation. He or she finishes the
investigation about the facts of the case and the applicable
law by a written final report to the Praetor.
The Iudex therein makes a proposal for the judgement. If the
Praetor deems the report incomplete or inconsistent he or she
may return the final report to the Iudex and oblige him or
her to continue with the investigation or to complete the legal
opinion.

V. Judgement

A. Based on the proposal by the Iudex, the Praetor formulates
the judgement. The judgement shall be issued in written form
and shall be headed as "Judgement". It has to be announced to
all parties. The Praetor's judgment may deviate from the
judgement proposed by the Iudex, but the deviation has to be
well-reasoned in writing. The judgment and its legal reasons
have to be announced to the public. The establishment of the
facts are announced only to the opposing parties.

The judgement is incontestable.

Plaintiff and defendant are then obliged to swear a written
oath on the observance of the judgement. The written oath
will be entered into a public record.

VI. Execution of Judgements

To execute an incontestable judgement or a publicly certified
settlement, the Praetor may, on application of a party, call
on all legal expedients available to him. He may also call on
the help of all Magistrates of Nova Roma, who shall render
such assistance as they are reasonably able to do so. The
violation of an oath falls under the jusrisdiction of the
collegia of the priesthood.

VII. Other Regulations of Procedures

A. Groups of Persons

Groups of persons may act as plaintiff and defendant. The
admission of groups as plaintiff and defendant lies in the
discretion of the Praetor, by observation of the following
regulations:

1. Plaintiffs may unite in a group if they the pursue the
same case, i.e. assert the same claim or sue the defendant
for the confirmation of the same right or the same legal
relation.
2. The group shall be notified to the Praetor by separate
written statement. It may also be part of the statement of
claim.

VIII. Effective Date of this Edictum

This Edictum becomes effective immediately and will be in
effect until formal legislation, as is currently being put
together in the civil law committee, is enacted by the Comitia.


April 2nd, in the year of the Consulship of Flavius Vedius
Germanicus and Marcus Cassius Iulianus, 2754 AUC.

and shall be headed as "Judgement". It has to be announced to
all parties. The Praetor's judgment may deviate from the
judgement proposed by the Iudex, but the deviation has to be
well-reasoned in writing. The judgment and its legal reasons
have to be announced to the public. The establishment of the
facts are announced only to the opposing parties.

The judgement is incontestable.

Plaintiff and defendant are then obliged to swear a written
oath on the observance of the judgement. The written oath
will be entered into a public record.

VI. Execution of Judgements

To execute an incontestable judgement or a publicly certified
settlement, the Praetor may, on application of a party, call
on all legal expedients available to him. He may also call on
the help of all Magistrates of Nova Roma, who shall render
such assistance as they are reasonably able to do so. The
violation of an oath falls under the jusrisdiction of the
collegia of the priesthood.

VII. Other Regulations of Procedures

A. Groups of Persons

Groups of persons may act as plaintiff and defendant. The
admission of groups as plaintiff and defendant lies in the
discretion of the Praetor, by observation of the following
regulations:

1. Plaintiffs may unite in a group if they the pursue the
same case, i.e. assert the same claim or sue the defendant
for the confirmation of the same right or the same legal
relation.
2. The group shall be notified to the Praetor by separate
written statement. It may also be part of the statement of
claim.

VIII. Effective Date of this Edictum

This Edictum becomes effective immediately and will be in
effect until formal legislation, as is currently being put
together in the civil law committee, is enacted by the Comitia.


April 2nd, in the year of the Consulship of Flavius Vedius
Germanicus and Marcus Cassius Iulianus, 2754 AUC.

Caius Flavius Diocletianus
Praetor

The Civil Law Committee is made up of those magistrates with the
responsibility to administer the legal system, as well as selected others
(most of whom are on the committee because of their knowledge of Roman law).
The committee itself is not any sort of formal apparatus of the government
but more an unofficial "think-tank", and members of the committee are
appointed by myself. For the moment, I think we're pretty well-stocked with
members, but if you or anyone else has an extensive knowledge of Roman law
and would like to serve, please email me privately
(germanicus@--------).

The job of the committee is to come up with a coherent and comprehensive set
of civil law code and procedures, which will be presented to the comitia for
vote later this year. (Creation of just such a civil law code and procedure
was, of course, a major issue in last year's magisterial elections.) Our
good Praetor Caius Flavius Diocletianus' edictum is an initial step, and
will doubtless undergo more revision before it is finally presented to the
people for a vote (particularly with input from the broader community and as
more elements of the law code are sorted out in the committee, thus
requiring modification to make the whole thing consistent).

I hope that answers your question. If you have any other questions, please
don't hesitate to ask.

Next year in the Forum!

Oh yes Consul, thanks for this reply. My knowledge of Roman law needs

Certainly if you are elected to the office of Tribune, you will be brought
onto the committee's email list (even though the Tribunes don't currently
have the Constitutional mandate to administer the law, that's an oversight
which will hopefully be corrected when the Comitia Centuriata is called
later this year). And naturally anyone, at any time, is more than welcome to
send ideas along, either to me privately or here on the main list.

The civil law system is one of the most important projects in NR. It
requires a huge amount of work, and of very "dry" and sometimes boring
judicial work. The quite virtual nature of our nation makes the work not
easier. Indeed, we want to grow into a real macronation, that´s our
vision, but today we need a sufficient civil code, suitable and
managable for online-communities.

Since contracts have a quite macronational nature, the more important
area of interest are the torts. What are torts in NR? What are
sufficient compensations for torts? And where are the boundaries between
compensation for torts and penalties for crimes? These are only a few
questions from many.

Our honoured Consul started an ambitious project. I´m looking forward to
it´s further development.

An initial step necessary, the first step in the right direction. I´m
aware that we don´t have basic legal definitions for torts and the legal
relationships in contracts, but we have a quite crude, but basic common
practice in some relationships between citizens. Slander e.g. is a tort
which could be negotiated on a Praetors court. Today the admission of
the claim is in the discretion of the Praetor, in future there might be
a written law about this.

Modifications are necessary, I´m sure. But this is necessary for all
written law. And I´m sure when we have a civil code, we need more than
one modifications for it.

>From today, we have civil procedures, we have a starting point and a
first component (as a prototype, of course) for our civil law system.
This defines the importance of the edictum.

Salvete Illustrus Senator et Consul Flavius Vedius Germanicus et Omnes!

I have had a very busy period, so my comments about these issues are a bit
behind the time schedule, but I will only comment shortly.

>1) Change the Citizenship section to allow for children to be Citizens

I find this absolutely OK!

>2) Change the provinces and governors section to make it more flexible.

I really appreciate this. I have thought about this section and I think
this wil free some energy. Very Good!

>3) Clean up the gens section.

OK!

>4) Clean up the Tribunis Plebis section.

I look forward to this I think that the last discussion about the Comitia
Plebis Tributa and the proposed laws in the middle of January have to
produce some constructive result! Good!

I have to admit that this is the area that interests me the most. The
legislation about constitutional things, I will try to find time to be more
active in this area the future!

I don't know about anyone else here, but I don't usually save my
tracking number and wouldn't think to. Maybe we should think about
people filling out their email address on the voting page so the
tracking number could be sent there, or something along those lines?
