       I am very pleased to announce my candidacy for Tribunus Plebis. 
As Tribunus, I will take the oath that is required of me. And an oath 
to the people of Nova Roma. Which is my honor to show the dedication 
that I have for my fellow Plebs. 
        I humbly await any questions. And would be happy to answer 
them. 
                           Dii te ament

Salve, 
 
I have a quick question.  In regards to the following section of the 
proposal: 
 
> X.  During the period of time when there is no paterfamilias in the 
> Gens, the Gens will remain static.  No new admissions may take place. 
> Nor can there be any individual leave the Gens until a new paterfamilias

Is there any current lex that states that a member of a gens *cannot* leave 
their gens of their own free will?  I understand there may be some genses 
<sp?> that do things this way and I also understand that it may be customary 
and historical.  What I am curious about is whether this is a law or not. 
 
Thanks in advance!

Salvete, 
 
I announce hereby my intention to candidate for Tribunus Plebis. 
 
I intend to defend everywhere and always the freedom of all Roman 
Citizens be they Plebeian or Patrician. 
 
In collaboration with the other tribunes I intend to elaborate and 
propose to you laws that explicit the freedom  granted to all citizens, 
specially the freedom of speech. 
 
Valete, 
 
Manius Villius Limitanus.

  Ave Priscilla Vedia et al, 
 
  I have a quick question.  In regards to the following section of the 
  proposal:

  Is there any current lex that states that a member of a gens *cannot* leave 
  their gens of their own free will?   
 
  Sulla:  No.  There is no current law.  However, I know that the Praetors are working on some adoption procedures.  
 
  I understand there may be some genses 
  <sp?> that do things this way and I also understand that it may be customary 
  and historical.  What I am curious about is whether this is a law or not. 
 
  Sulla:  Yes it is both customary and historical.  Being apart of a gens is being apart of a family.  I dont think it should be so easy to break up a family.  However, I am currently working on a compromise with Tribune Salix that would satisfy his reservation regarding the limitation of citizens being allowed to leave the gens if a paterfamilias has not been accepted.  So, to answer your final question, this is not a law yet.  I have proposed it to the People of Nova Roma to discuss.  In the next two weeks the Comitia Centuriata and the Comitia Populi will be summoned and the final revision of this law will be put up for a vote.   
 
  Respectfully, 
 
  Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix

---Salvete Omnes: 
 
Some thoughts based on my recent reading, with respect to the  
legislation.  
 
First off, I like the idea of insisting on some accountability and a  
small degree of activity from our familia heads.  Even today, we  
register ourselves and our families, macronationally. I don't have a  
problem with registration at all.  However, there are some concerns  
about possible contravention of existing rights as spelled out in our  
own consitution, particularily when it comes to what to do with the  
resultant 'foundlings' of a nonregistered pater.  After considering  
all that I have read from various parties, I offer the following  
comments. 
 
Just to augment the discussion a bit between Priscilla and Consul  
Sulla....In antiquita, upon death, the Paterfamiliasship and  
concommitant patriaprotestas was automatically bestowed on the next  
eldest familia member....(well, son back then) 
 
In our res publica, this eligible individual has really no  
obligation, that I can see, to accept this position (although in  
Republican Rome such would be unheard of, as a usual course). 
 
To digress, there are examples of emancipation and manumission from  
the Pater's powers, as well as adoption into another gens, if agreed  
upon by the Pater.  The details will be spelled out in the Praetoral  
civil law code, which will deal with gens relationships. It wasn't  
until the early principate that laws were instituted to protect the  
filias from abuse. However, there are cases of a Praetor extending  
monies to a filias written out of a will by his paterfamilias, in  
republican Rome. So, in the absence of clear, cut legislation, the  
respublica tried to make wrongs right in certain cases. 
 
 
What I propose, with respect to this Registration lex, is  that if  
the next in line does not wish to be pater/mater, this opportunity is  
passed on to the next in line.  If nobody wants to be head of their  
own familia, I would consider the gens in question, for all practical  
purposes, without a headship, and without membership.  The gens is  
closed, and the name is fair game for future citizens. The filia  
should be considered manumitted from the obligations of their gens 
(familia) and former Pater/Mater, and are free to join another gens.  
This way, every effort is made to preserve the gens, but when all  
efforts are exhausted, the citizens in question may move on. 
 
 
 
 
Mind you, the adoptees are subject to the rules of the Familia (gens)  
they join. 
 
Such citizens in limbo, so to speak, shall have the wardship of the  
Pontifex Maxmimus (who presided over adoptions/manumissions and  
emancipations, giving a religious recommendation as to whether the  
actions in question were appropriate)  Since the Praetors were  
involved, they could be wards of the Praetors, or even the Comitia  
Centuriata. I am not sure yet, in other words :) 
 
Either way, by whatever body we choose above, we are stating that  
their rights as citizens are protected under the consitution, for a  
specified period of time, by the respublica, in the absence of  
belonging to a gens, which is currently a constitutional must. In  
other words, they are covered for say, a month, until they find a new  
home. It cannot be assumed that it is  the filias' fault that a  
Pater/Mater has failed to uphold their responsibilities. *They were  
the ones abandoned by the familia head) 
 
I will also be producing a modified code of Patriaprotestas, for the  
examination of my colleague, advisors and Senate. (believe me, you do  
not want the unmodified version :))  I like the idea of the  
Paterfamilias having headship in his gens, and if modified and well  
detailed, I think this is a viable aspect of Antiquita Res publica  
worth keeping. 
 
Further, I will be working on a judicial means by which a famila  
filius (filia) may apply for manumission/emancipation for reasons of  
maltreatment or incompatibility within a gens.  Although I do not  
wish to see a flippant activity of musical gentes, I do feel that, on  
occasion, there are  serious problems which require the attention of  
a tribunal, which, in antiquita, was often established by the  
Paterfamilias.  In Nova Roma, quite often the pater shall be  the  
defendant, and thusly cannot act as an impartial selector of  
advisors. I believe the praetors should handle this.  I would welcome  
the Tribunes, perhaps one or two, to be on such a tribunal. 
 
I would like to see such a tribunal accessible to Paters who are  
entertaining the expulsion of one of their filiae. 
 
The problem with getting comitia involved with gens problems is that  
there is an obvious lack of privacy for any sensitive issues, plus  
the religious observances make things a little slower to progress. 
 
I hope this enlightens you as to where I am coming from, with respect  
to the legislation in question, possible scenerios and amendments,  
and what I am doing with respect to the Praetoral affairs.

Salve Lucius Cornelius, 
 
In regards to the Lex on Pater/Mater annual Registration, I think it is a wonderfully sensible law and I highly support it  as it actually works to solve a problem, not seeking to flog everyone in Nova Roma for the errors of a few. However I have one question on it...what happens if a  Mater/ Pater is going to be out of the country and therefore incommunicato during the period of Gens registration. Can they apply to register early so that they may maintain their Mater/Pater status? I will be out of the country May 11- 27, 2002 which is a large portion of the registration period. I have the worst timing for an anniversary sojurn to Italy and Greece! 
But my personal problems aside I applaud your lex. 
Bene vale,

Ave Lucia Valeria Secunda et al, 
 
According to the proposed lex there is an 8 week timetable ending at the 
end of June (per item II).  I believe that 8 weeks should be sufficient 
to register with the Censors in regards to your status of 
Materfamilias.   If you are going to be gone during the entire 
registration process you could always appoint a representative (as per 
item IX), within your gens, to act for you during the time-frame.  In my 
honest opinion, that notification can be given to the Censors, and your 
appointed designate, prior to the actual registration process.  I hope 
that either of these alternatives would be able to meet with your 
needs.  Finally, thank you for your support in my efforts to fix a 
longstanding problem in Nova Roma. 
 
Have a wonderful trip to Italy and Greece, I am so jealous! 
 
Respectfully, 
 
Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix 
Consul

I, Marcus Scribonius Curio Britannicus, declare my candidacy for  
Aedilis Plebis.   
 
My main priorities as Aedile would be working with the other Aediles  
to create enjoyable Ludi, and also to do more to encourage activity  
in those Sodalites which I am a part of, perhaps even working with  
people from these Sodalites to enhance the Ludi.

Avete Omnes, 
 
This is the latest revision of the proposed lex.  The main difference 
between this revision and other revisions is that there is a procedure 
and deadline built in during a time a gens has to replace a 
paterfamilias who has failed to register.  This was added based on the 
recommendation of Tribune Gn. Salix. 
 
Respectfully, 
 
Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix 
Consul 
____ 
 
Pursuant to the Constitution of Nova Roma (II.D.1 and II.D.3) The People 
of Nova 
Roma, via the Comitia Populi Tributa hereby enact this lex in regards to 
the registration of Gentes and Paterfamiliae and Materfamiliae with the 
Office of Censors. 
 
(The use of the word paterfamilias is, for the purpose of this lex, will 
include both Paterfamilias and materfamilias.) 
 
I.  Each Gens shall be registered with the office of the Censors every 
year. 
 
II.  Registration of Gentes must be completed by the last day of June. 
 
III.  The censors must announce the opening of the registration period 
at least 8 weeks before the deadline on the official Nova Roma email 
list. 
 
IV.  Patresfamilias are responsible for contacting the Censores using 
any of these methods: 
 
A.  Send an email to the Censors via the official email address of the 
Office of the Censors, which is censors@novaroma.org at the time of the 
passage of this lex. 
B.  Mail a written statement to the Nova Roma post office box. 
C.  Complete a form on the Nova Roma web site, the address of which 
shall be specified by the Censores at the beginning of the registration 
period. 
 
V.  The current official address of all Nova Roma Mail Correspondence 
is: 
 
Nova Roma 
P.O. Box 1897, 
Wells, ME 04090 
 
At the time of the passage of this lex, the above address is the 
official address, if the official address changes in the future, the new 
mailing address should be utilized. 
 
VI.  When the deadline is reached, the Censors must publish a list of 
Gentes that have failed to register with the Office of Censors.  This 
list must be published on the official Nova Roma email lists, are 
currently located at novaroma@yahoogroups.com and 
novaromaannounce@yahoogroups.com. 
 
VII.  A Gens that has failed to register with the office of Censors is 
considered to have NO Paterfamilias.  If there are other members of that 
gens the Censors must work with the Gens to select a new Paterfamilias. 
 
VIII.  A Gens that has failed to register with the office of the 
Censors, and which has no member other than its paterfamilias, shall be 
removed from the Album Gentium.  Its former members shall be considered 
to belong to no Gens, and shall be given the nomen "Nemo".  The nomen 
formerly used by that Gens will be considered unused and available for 
future applicants. 
 
IX.  Patresfamilias who are unable to communicate with the office of 
Censors may appoint a designate within the Gens to act as 
Paterfamilias.  However, notification must be on file in the office of 
the Censor(es). 
 
X.  During the period of time when there is no paterfamilias in the 
Gens, the Gens will remain static.  No new admissions may take place. 
 
XI.  While a Gens is still trying to pick a new paterfamilias, that gens 
will be listed as closed for new citizens recruitment.  The new 
paterfamilias must notify the Censors, upon receipt of the position of 
Paterfamilias if he/she wants to reopen the gens for new members. 
 
XII.  The following are procedures that must be followed before 
individual(s) of a gens may be allowed to change gens affiliations due 
to inactive and non responsive Paterfamilias as a result of the 
registration process. 
 
A. Once a Pater has failed to respond, the Censores contact the other 
members of the gens and see if there is any of them willing to be a 
paterfamilias.  The deadline for this process to begin is two weeks from 
the end of the registration period. 
 
B.  If there is just one responsive candidate, he is appointed as the 
new Paterfamilias.  And the gens is then registered. 
 
C. If there are more than one responsive candidates, a decision must be 
taken as to who the new Pater would be, the exact process for this would 
be left up to the gens to decide.  If member of the gens report to the 
Censors that they are at an impasse the following two factors may be 
used to break the impasse: 
 
1.  If there is a tie between two members who would become the new 
Paterfamilias the Century point totals of the candidates would be used 
as the tie breaker. 
2. If there is a tie in century points then the length of citizenship 
would then be utilized to break that tie. 
 
D.  After the two-week period has expired, and no responsive candidate 
has come forward, those remaining gens members will be given the Nomen 
“Nemo.”  Each Gens member will be asked to either create a new Gens or 
join an existing gens.  The nomen formerly used by that Gens will be 
considered unused and available for future applicants.

M. Octavius Germanicus Quiritibus SPD, 
 
It is an unfortunate fact of life that some citizens, after an initial 
period of enthusiasm and dedication, will abandon Nova Roma, due to 
a lack of time or a lack of interest.  We have had elected magistrates 
who have neglected their duties or become incommunicado within months  
of the election, never to be heard from again.  We have also had  
magistrates who completed their term, fulfilling all that was expected  
of them; only to vanish afterwards. 
 
And we have Senators who have reguarly failed to participate in  
Senate debates, or to vote in the Senate or the Comitia.   
 
I believe that a Senator who neglects his responsibilities tarnishes 
the dignity of the Senate as a whole.   There are many fine citizens 
who have done much good work for the Republic who are not yet in  
the Senate; it is discouraging to them to be unrewarded, while the 
purple stripe is worn by some citizens who don't even vote. 
 
We do not want a "revolving-door" Senate, where citizens are Senators 
only while holding a senior office.  That is not historical.  But 
the other extreme is equally undesireable - a Senate populated by 
empty shells, persons who are citizen in name only, who have not 
participated in our public life for years. 
 
The Constitution grants the Censores the ability to add and remove 
Senators according to qualifications established "by law".  There has 
never been a law specifying conditions for removing Senators.   
According to one interpretation of the Constitution, this would mean  
that the Censores cannot act at all until a law exists; according to 
another interpretation, they can act with complete freedom until  
restricted by such a law. 
 
Last month, the Senate issued its advice on the matter in the 
form of a Senatus Consultum.  As this is not a "law", it is not  
binding on the Censores.  While it establishes advisory guidelines,  
at present we are still faced with the Constitutional question 
of whether a right granted to a magistrate can be exercised in the 
absense of a law detailing specifics. 
 
Thus, I present the following law.  The text is taken, with only 
minor alterations, from the Senatus Consultum that was recently 
passed, accepted by a majority vote of the Senate. 
 
LEX OCTAVIA DE SENATORIBUS.  
	 
I.  Membership in the Senate of Nova Roma shall be for life, so long  
    as a Senator maintains a minimum level of activity, as defined  
    herein. 
 
II. Level of Activity Required. 
 
    A. A Senator is required to cast votes in at least one third of 
    the sessions of the Senate during any calendar year.  Should he  
    or she fail to do so, he or she may be removed at the option  
    of the Censores. 
 
    B. Voting by proxy shall be considered acceptable for satisfying  
    these requirements, if and only if the right of proxy is granted 
    during the discussion period of the session for which proxy  
    is granted. 
 
III. Removal of a Senator. 
 
    A. The Censores are empowered to use their judgement when considering 
    the removal of a Senator who has failed to maintain the minimum 
    level of activity, and to either retain or remove that Senator 
    at their option.  The Censores should consider whether a valid 
    excuse for failing to remain active has been offered. 
 
    B. The Senator to be removed has sixty days to appeal his or  
    her removal to any magistrate capable of convening the Senate.   
    A 2/3rds supermajority of the Senate, excluding the Censores, 
    is required to override the Censores and halt the removal. 
    
    C. An ex-Senator who has been removed may be later restored 
    to the Senate by the Censores. 
  
IV.  Exemptions. 
 
    A. Censores, Consuls, and Praetores are exempt during their year 
    in office, regardless of their participation level the previous  
    year.  Any Senator appointed less than six months before the end 
    of the preceding year is exempt.   
 
    B. In recognition of their service to the Republic, any Senator who  
    has completed a full term as Consul or Censor may be removed  
    from the Senate if and only if he or she fails the test  
    described in Section II for four consecutive years.   
 
    C. Any Senator who has served in the Senate for ten years is 
    forever after exempt from removal for reason of inactivity. 
 
V.  This law shall go into effect on the Kalends of Ianuarius  
    MMDCCLVI auc (1 January 2003). 
 
 
I would like to see this lex brought to a vote this month. 
 
Vale,  
M. Octavius Germanicus, 
Consul.

Salvete Omnes: 
 
Just to let those in question know, I have heard from A. Claudius  
Petrus, the Curule Aedile et Legatus Canada Orientalis a few minutes  
ago. 
 
He apologizes for being out of the loop, but he has had major  
computer problems and other distractions. 
 
He hopes to be back soon. 
 
Bene vale, 
Pompeia Cornelia

fine and my best wishes for his efforts!
