As a member of the provincia Gallia I would like to welcome you. Whatever question you have, fire it!
I have one for you: what part of Gallia are you from? I am from Gallia Borealis (Germania Inferior). To communicate with me privately - if you wish - you can always use Dutch or French (I am better at those languages than in English).

Salve Cai,
My experience with Nova Roma is very little but here's what I think concerning your message. It is true that families were something really important for any Roman. Before being a Roman citizen they were part of the family. I beleive the gens are very important because they represent the first and closest interaction a citizen has with other Novoromani.
As you suggested, I think that a few gens with a lot of people in it would be a good idea. By optimizing communication and organisation in it, and making sure paterfamilias are concerned in it, we would make life easier for a lot of new citizens.
I totally agree with you, except for one thing. I don't think taxes would be the right solution to make paterfamilias concerned about their gens. Instead of punishing them with taxes I suggest we think about how to promote paterfamilias who actually do a lot for their gens.
Vale,
Lucius Maximus Serranus

Ave!
I want to react on the message concerning the names. I would like to suggest to make it more difficult for new cives to have a free choice of nomen gentium. This is: after we have cheched all the patres and matres familiae as being "active" citizens or not (via the census), we can point out that it is better to have our gentes members increase than just the numbers of gentes. Now - and I confess, I myself did the same thing - you can choose whatever name you like. This results in a lot of familiae with only a pater/mater familias and no other members.
As for myself, I first wanted to join an existing gens sharing the same deities. I recieved no reaction and so finally created my own gens, consisting of myself and my wife.
Nevertheless I think it would be better if there could be larger gentes with increasing organisation and communication. THis can be realised by two things: in the application form the choice of the name has to be prioritarily 'which gens do you want to join' and not 'what is your roman name'. Secondly, we can notify all the existing patres and matres and the new ones they will have to pay taxes in order to keep their nomen gentilum. Exiting members who refuse to pay taxes but still want to be a citizen can be adopted by other gentes.
The advantage of an organisation based on gentes are multiple: first of all, the family was the basis of Roman society. Secondly, gentes are no macronational formations. The larger part of them is accepting members from all over the planet. This means that we would finally have reached a level on which we could be Romans in the first place and not Americans, Europeans, etc.
What do you think?

Censor Lucius Equitius Cincinnatus Quiritibus SPD
Great idea, Caius, sounds much like the proposal I have made for the
past few years, whereby each gens is 'registered' annually by paying
a 'tax' ($20-$25 per gens) and each gens member would be an
additional ($2-$5 a head). Those gens consisting of one member who
doesn't want to pay or those who don't want to pay the "fees" could
simply pettion to be adopted into alternative gens or gather together
and form a single gens or groups of gens, etc. Sorry to be a 'wise
guy' Caie, but I really did think of this first :-) (along with
solutions for some other recurring themes, since March 98)
As for new gens, Censor Sulla and I have drastically reduced the
number of new gens registered; however, those who apply for and are
accepted into an established gens are most often approved within a
day or two.
Note to "Lucius Maximus Serranus": I have not seen any notice from
Marcus Maximus Gaius, he needs to send approval to the Censores or
use the wonderful tool Marcus Octavius set up for Paterfamiliae to do
just that. That is what you are waiting for, not the Censores. I
cannot say how many times applicants have been frustrated, and blamed
the Censores, for having to wait to be approved as citizens because
we have not been informed or contacted in any way concerning
applications for citizenship to join their respective gens by
Patres/Matres.

PONTIFEX ANTONIVS GRYLLVS GRAECVS OMNIBVS SALVTEM
This is one of the dies comitiales (C), when committees of citizens can vote
on political or criminal matters.
Today, the 'mundus' is opened. The 'mundus' was a vaulted ritual pit,
divided into two parts and with a cover (possibly called 'lapis manalis')
which was removed three times each year: August 24, October 5 and November
8. With the lifting of the lid, which was regarded as the Gate to Hades
('ostium Orci': Festus, 115L), the spirits of the underworld ('manes')
emerged and could roam the streets of the city. But there is also a
reference that the 'mundus' belongs to Ceres ('Cereris qui mundus
apellatur', Festus, 126L). The day was considered 'religiosus' and the
following 'religiones' applied:
- It was not allowed to combat.
- It was not allowed to raise troops.
- It was not allowed to make troops march.
- It was not allowed to raise anchor.
- It was not allowed to marry or procreate.
Nevertheless, comitia and other public activities were allowed.
A complication arises from the fact that Romulus, when founding the city, is
said to have put first-fruits into a pit in the Comitium, together with soil
from the land from which each of his followers came. If the two pits were
the same, then Romulus may have offered the fruits at the 'mundus' to
appease the underworld. But there is also a possibility that there were two
pits, one leading to Hades and the other belonging to Ceres (the latter
being the one where Romulus offered the fruits).
Mensis November is sacred to Diana.

Ave omnes!
I am glad to receive so much approval conc. the item. I agree there is a lot of resistence dealing with the taxes. I must say I do not really understand why. An annual tax of 20-25$ is not the end of the world. Any organization you join today will ask for a little financial compensation. NR has set up an infrastructure for its people, has created websites, newsgroups, contacts with other people feeling the same way. I think that, certainly for those who dream of making NR a 'real' nation with territorial possibilities ('land for NR'), we should consider a low tax for its members, not on a voluntary basis. The opponents have in my opinion just two arguments: 1. tax as a punishment and 2. kicking on numbers.
1. given the small amount of money we're talking about and the considerable freedom we have as Romans in participating in politics and every sort of thing, I think it can rarely be seen as a punishment. I believe that every magistrate of the republic will pay taxes, even when they're doing more than the other cives (from the political point of view). Taxes should not be heavy, nor should they be reprimands against whatever, they should create funds to be able to work correctly. E.g. think of the census that was proposed: what is this going to cost to the individuals who are going to write cards, make phone calls etc. Isn't it more honest to refund these costs? I think so! But we need to have the means to do so!
2.Numbers. Anybody refusing to pay taxes can easily having him or herself adopted by another gens. This will reduce the number of gentes and will make sure that patres and matres are 'active' Romans. You'll be more concerned when it's something you've paid for, no?
Despite my defense of the taxes, I ask all of you: is there another way to make the number of gentes decline?

Yes, there is. Combine a policy that forces gentes to be registered yearly by
patres or matres familias with a policy that requires new gentes to be founded
by cives with at least 6 months in Nova Roma. Each year, those gentes which
consist of only an inactive pater or mater familias will simply disappear.
And, the creation of new gentes will be dramatically slowed as only cives who
really want their own gens despite having formed some bonds with an existing
gens will be allowed to form them.
This system does not require an active census, constitutional amendments, or
taxation. What Censor Equitius proposes is to attach taxation to registration,
which is not necessary.

Salvete!
This is a listing of upcoming Museum Exhibitions around the world
relating to the Ancient/Classical World. I found the information in the
calendar section of most recent edition of Minerva Magazine (The
International Review of Ancient Art & Archeology). Many of these events
would offer excellent opportunities for 'in-person' NR get-together. It
turned out to be a bit more serious undertaking than I had originally
thought, but after few hour and some sore fingers later, here it is!

extraordinarily rich number of finds, one of the best Roman military
collections in Britain.

Salvete T. Labiene Fortunate et omnes,
You talk about a policy that requires new gentes to be founded by cives with at least 6 months in Nova Roma.
Do you mean that those 6 months experienced cives would change their name to create their own gens and be paterfamilias of it ? If so, isn't there a problem, consequence of this change ?
I mean, let's say you join Nova Roma. You first have a nomen from an existing gens. With time being you meet people, and acheive things.. your name is becoming famous, maybe not in the whole respublica but at least in your cercle of knowings.
Roman names are already something which is a bit hard to get use of for new citizens. What if those names can changed ?
Valete,
Lucius Maximus Serranus.

Yes, there is. Combine a policy that forces gentes to be registered yearly by
patres or matres familias with a policy that requires new gentes to be founded
by cives with at least 6 months in Nova Roma. Each year, those gentes which
consist of only an inactive pater or mater familias will simply disappear.
And, the creation of new gentes will be dramatically slowed as only cives who
really want their own gens despite having formed some bonds with an existing
gens will be allowed to form them.
This system does not require an active census, constitutional amendments, or
taxation. What Censor Equitius proposes is to attach taxation to registration,
which is not necessary.

Salve Cai,
I beleive reducing the number of gentes is interesting since I'm waiting for my paterfamilas to send me acceiptance. As far as I experience it, I think a close implication and relation with other cives within the gens is crucial for any new citizen.
I just didn't get at first what was your idea concerning those taxes and thought they were only meant to be a sort of warning or punishment against people who didn't provide the responsibilities they were engaged in. I see you didn't think about taxes this way but in a more general way and I feel now more comfortable with it. As you said, any kind of organization which needs money has to get it somewhere and I think your solution could be interesting.
There might be two different issues : taxes and reduction of the number of gentes, even if one could solve the other, can be considered as two different concepts, because reduction of the number of gentes can be solved without taxes, and because Nova Roma might need money not only from patresfamilias.
I think about a maximum number of gentes, about a way to statisticly monitor the number of cives in a gens but I always reach the same question :
Since a citizen keeps his nomen... and has got to choose his gens or create his own before he really knows about these problems and understand about the reason of theses taxes, the responsibility of being paterfamilias has to be taken at first and before the understanding of all of it.
My point is I don't have any solution. I hope my thoughts about it could give you some ideas or raise problems you would thought differently about. It's a pleasure speaking to you and reading your messages. I hope those issues will soon find a solution.
I think your solution of taxing patresfamilias is good, except for the fact that those patresfamilias are new citizens and they might not understand why they have to pay something as they're not even in Nova Roma yet...
If the importance of gens is clearly stated and those taxes are understood without discouraging people who are just about to join Nova Roma, then I think it's a pretty good solution for reducing the number of gentes and therefore to give them more importance.
Vale,
Lucius Maximus Serranus

Ave omnes!
I am glad to receive so much approval conc. the item. I agree there is a lot of resistence dealing with the taxes. I must say I do not really understand why. An annual tax of 20-25$ is not the end of the world. Any organization you join today will ask for a little financial compensation. NR has set up an infrastructure for its people, has created websites, newsgroups, contacts with other people feeling the same way. I think that, certainly for those who dream of making NR a 'real' nation with territorial possibilities ('land for NR'), we should consider a low tax for its members, not on a voluntary basis. The opponents have in my opinion just two arguments: 1. tax as a punishment and 2. kicking on numbers.
1. given the small amount of money we're talking about and the considerable freedom we have as Romans in participating in politics and every sort of thing, I think it can rarely be seen as a punishment. I believe that every magistrate of the republic will pay taxes, even when they're doing more than the other cives (from the political point of view). Taxes should not be heavy, nor should they be reprimands against whatever, they should create funds to be able to work correctly. E.g. think of the census that was proposed: what is this going to cost to the individuals who are going to write cards, make phone calls etc. Isn't it more honest to refund these costs? I think so! But we need to have the means to do so!
2.Numbers. Anybody refusing to pay taxes can easily having him or herself adopted by another gens. This will reduce the number of gentes and will make sure that patres and matres are 'active' Romans. You'll be more concerned when it's something you've paid for, no?
Despite my defense of the taxes, I ask all of you: is there another way to make the number of gentes decline?

Salvete Consuls, Tribunus Plebis, Senators, Praetores:
I am not sure to whom I should direct this question, but, I had a
recent email exchange with a civie who had a question or two of me
regarding the elections for magistrates. Although this individual is
over 21, the subject came up of underage candidates, and the following
consideration:
I believe last year we had an incident where proper protocol was not
followed: a candidate declared himself and ran for office
successfully without *first* gaining from the Senate, an exemption
from the age requirement, and a formal 'go ahead' to run for office.
As far as I can see, since there has been no amending legislation to
the contrary, the burden is still on the candidate to request such
dispensation from the Senate prior to running for office, and that it
does not matter if you are electorially victorious, you are,
essentially, an illegal candidate.
Is there a magistrate who could add to this, and perhaps inform the
populace about a deadline for filing for such an age exemption for
this year, should there be young people out there interested?

The Senate will soon vote on two underage applicants; if anyone else

They can already be changed. We have several cives who have successfully
changed their nomen gentilis (and therefore their gens) for various reasons.
These cives felt that the change was worth the temporary loss of
recognizability. The idea, after all, is to reduce the number of gentes that
are formed either hastily or frivolously.
Also, note that currently in Nova Roma gentes are distinguished from each other
by both nomen and cognomen. There would be nothing to stop T Tidlipus from
founding Gens Tidlipa Secunda and retaining the essence of his name. If he
decided to found a gens with a different nomen then he would have to be willing
to accept that it would take a while for people to get used to his new
appellation.

The protocol hadn't been established at that time, and there was legitimate
debate upon when under-age candidates ought to present themselves to the Senate
in order to obtain its approval. The law was entirely silent on the point.

The Lex Vedia de Magistratum Aetate amended the law to require under-age
candidates to request the Senate's dispensation prior to standing for
election. So there was a change, though it was made to create the situation
you describe above; that is, it is illegal to stand for office as an under-age
candidate without first receiving the Senate's approval.

As M Octavius has pointed out, anyone wishing to stand for election as an under-
age candidate should present his or her petition to the Senate as soon as
possible.

Salvete Honoured Praetores:
Regarding your Intro to Civil Law and subsequent replies:
I am sorry my comments were not of any constructive use to you. I assumed
you were looking for comments, and my post regarding the punishments, and
some stuff which I felt might be beneficially addressed in a civil law code
were meant in good faith, and to be helpful. I am addressing you
collectively and from the vantage of your magisterial capacities as
praetores, and not personally.
My political comments to a public list are meant to be constructive, even
though they are not always useful. I am also sometimes terse, but
objective.
I fully admit that I am no lawyer and that I am not as learned as either of
you with respect to Roman Law. I can only evaluate the results of some
events which transpired here in NR last year, which caused a good deal of
awkwardness and grief in the absence of any laws by which these matters
could be more smoothly litigated.
Perhaps I shall feel better about your list of punishments when I see the
corresponding tortes to which they shall apply. Indeed, when one sees a
list of punishments, they all look extreme (especially banishment) until the
actual legal deviations are listed.
Perhaps it is just my lack of understanding all around, but I just found it
unusual, I guess, to present punishments in the absence of crimes. It's an
unusual opening statement...
And if the two of you are indeed planning to soon publish a civil law code,
you have my sincere and heartfelt apologies and civie and governor for
assuming otherwise, and posting to that effect.
Q. Fabi, you had indicated to me that I was the only one to say anything
negative about the Praetoral law intro; I have been reviewing the archives,
trying to recap on a few things, and sir, with respect, I was the "only one"
to render any kind of comment. Perhaps folks were tied up with the Census
debate/questions about the CC lex amendments, and didn't take the time to
respond.
Perhaps there will be more debate when further material is presented by
yourself and Praetor Dio.
I hope this clarifies my position on a couple of email exchanges on this

Salve,
Thank you for this list. I wish the United States was
included in this. I recently organized a Museum tour
right here in southern California which included The
Holy Land and The Etruscans exhibits and it was a
great way for us local Romans to get together. Let me
know there if a way to access a list like this for the
U.S.
Vale,
