Subject:	[novaroma] Lions, Elephants and other wild animals
From:	"Cl. Salix Davianus" <davius_sanctex@terra.es>
Date:	Sun, 21 Apr 2002 20:52:41 -0500

Salve Romani:

It seems that distribution of aniamal on mediterranean shores was very different 2000 o 2500 years ago (at that time populaton was aproximately 1/8 or 1/6 of actual). Just a couple of examples:

(1) General increase of population in Mediterranean Areas affected dramatically to animals on the top of food pyramid [biological and ecological arguments show that this type are most vulnerable of all because they have had no natural enemies for a long time]

(1a) GREECE AND ROME
Abaut BC 200, Lion and Leopard were no longer in Greece and other areas of Asia Minor, in which previously they have existed. Wolfs and Chacals were relagated to Mountain and/or low density areas. The roman games also contributed to massive extintions: during the 100 day consagration of Coliseum Romanum about 9000 caputred wild animals were sacrificed; 10000 in the celefration of the triumphus Traiani of the conquest of Dacia.
In the first centuries AD: elephant, rhinoceros and zebra become extincted from North Africa; Hippotamos in low Nile and the tiger in Persia and Mesopotamia.

(1b) AEGYPT
In the Nile Valley the extension of cultivated area, the dessication of swampy areas and hunting of animals provoqued the elimination and disappareance of many species. In the Ancient Kingdom (BC 2950 - BC 2350) animals such as elephants, rhinoceros and giraffes become extinct in the Valley.

(2) Other animals were brought to Hispania about BC 900 by phoenicians (in Middle East this animal had been a wild animal domesticated lately in Aegypt). Rabitt were unknow animals for Phoenicians. In Phoenicia existed daimans (similiar to rabbits in size, but without long ears); phoenicians called these daimans <spn-> and also gave this name to Rabitts of Spain (in fact the name Hispania derives form <*´ishapan> 'land of rabbits').

Subject:	[novaroma] Lex Cornelia de suffragiis tribuendis
From:	Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix <alexious@earthlink.net>
Date:	Sun, 21 Apr 2002 12:17:27 -0700

Avete Omnes,

It is my sincere pleasure to bring before you the last law for
consideration for this month. This law will specifically deal with the
revision of the Lex Vedia Centuriata (Section II)
http://www.novaroma.org/tabularium/leges/lex99073007.html. This law
served Nova Roma well in the first 4 years of Nova Roma. However, in
the 4 years Nova Roma has grown and prospered. In that time, many new
positions have been created (viator, Vigintisexviri and others). Also
in the non-political sphere entirely new organizations have been created
(Sodalitas and their officers). Many of these positions, within the
older law, have been undervalued or at worse not listed in terms of
civil service recognition. This law will correct that and will
hopefully serve as a solid foundation that gives recognition for
political, religious and social participation.

Before I post this law, for your consideration, I would like to take
this opportunity to thank Tribune M. Arminius for his valued assistance
in assisting me in preparing this law. His dedication in this has been
invaluable. Secondly, I would like to thank Caeso Fabius for his
assistance and feedback in tweaking this law so that it would be
workable, especially for provincia management while at the same time
would prevent the abuse of Century points abuse. I would also like to
thank my staff for their assistance, dedication and comments in regards
to the various laws, and ideas for laws, that get placed before them.

Very Respectfully,

Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix
Consul
_____

This Lex proposes to establish a method in which civil service is
rewarded within Nova Roma. This method will be referred as the Civil
Service Index. This Index will serve as the method in which
participation; involvement and length of citizenship will be measured
within Nova Roma. The Civil Service Index will be the new name for
Century Points.

I. MAGISTRATES ORDINARII (CURRENT/Past Service)

Censor:
60 CSI (first year of service)
120 CSI (second year of service)

Past Service: 30 CSI Per year of service.

Consul:
100 CSI

Past Service: 50 CSI.

Praetor
80 CSI

Past Service: 40 CSI.

Aedilis Curule, Aedilis Plebis, Quaestor
50 CSI

Past Service: 25 CSI.

Tribunus Plebis
70 CSI

Past Service: 35 CSI.

Apparitores:

Accensus, scriba of a Consul
25 CSI
Scriba of a Censor, Praetor, Aedile or Vigintisexviri: (Maximum of 4
scribes)
25 CSI

This does not prevent magistrates from appointing additional scribes,
however if this is done, it is the responsibility of the magistrate to
notify the Censors, which scribes are to be awarded the points by the
end of October.

Past Service: 10 CSI.

If a magistrate only serves part of his term as a suffectus or resigns
his/her office while in office they will only be awarded partially.
This will be based on increments of Quarters. However Past Service
points will be awarded in full.

The Senate shall have the authority to set limits on the number of
Provincial officials who receive points. Until the Senate acts the
limits shall be those limits stipulated in this law.

II. MAGISTRATES EXTRAORDINARII

Dictator:
100 CSI

Past Service: 50 CSI.

Magister Equitum:
50 CSI

Past Service 25 CSI.

III. SACERDOTES

Dialis, Flamen Martialis, Flamen Quirinalis), Vestal Maxima:
100 CSI

Pontifex, Flamines Minores (nine others from Carmentalis to
Volturnalis), Augur, Vestal
75 CSI

Other positons (Epulones, Arvales, Luperci, Salii, Fetiales, others of
this nature):
50 CSI

IV. PROVINCIAL POSITIONS

Gubernator (Propraetor, Actively Serving Proconsul)
60 CSI

Past Service: 3 CSI

Provincia Sarcerdos (1 individual)
20 CSI.

Past Service: 5 CSI

Viatores: (Up to 6 individuals)
7 CSI

Past Service: 1 CSI

This does not prevent magistrates from appointing additional scribes,
however if this is done, it is the responsibility of the
Propraetor/Proconsul to notify the Censors, which scribes are to be
awarded the points by the end of October.

The Senate shall have the authority to set limits on the number of
Provincial officials who receive points. Until the Senate acts the
limits shall be those limits stipulated in this law.

V. OTHER POSITIONS

Senator:
70 CSI

Sodalitates Positions:

Founders of an Officially Sanctioned Sodalitas (can be individuals or a
committee)
20 CSI

Persons of Authority in an Officially Sanctioned Sodalitas: (limit of 5

Each Patrician Mater/Paterfamilias who approves a new gens member
3 CSI per filius (filia)
Each Plebian Mater/Paterfamilias who approves a new gens member
5 CSI per filius (filia)

Cursus Honorum - (Quaestor- Praetor - Consul) (Tribune of the Plebs -
Praetor - Consul)
10 CSI

Pater Patriae -
25 CSI

VII. Senatorial awards:

The Senate with the approval of 2/3 vote may grant the award of extra
century points to individual citizens for reward of the completion of
tasks and special positions that are not covered in the above lex.

VIII.

This law will be retroactive. When the Censors recalculate the
allocations for the Comitia Centuriata all prior civil services will be
calculated based on the guidelines established by this lex. For
example, individuals’ serving as Consul in 2000 earns the same points as
being Consul in 2003.

Salve, Luci Corneli Sulla Felix.

First, I don't see the need for a completely new century point system,
even though I'm not satisfied with the current one. A couple of
amendments would work just as well, without having to come up with new
names for old concepts. The basic structure would be the same, anyway,
so keep the old and throw in some new, don't throw out the old and see
what new can be fitted into the empty space.

That said, on to the second, and more important, point: I'm strongly
opposed to the limits on supportive/administrative staff. Well, not
actual limits, but limits on how many "approved" assistants one may
have. Nothing prevents a governor from appointing two legatii or five
praefectii, but only one legatus and four praefectii will receive any
recognition for their efforts. Why not leave the exact numbers of
assistants to the magistrate/governor, as it is now? A governor who
abuses the system will not be prorogued by the senate, and a magistrate
who does will not receive a second mandate for office.

Why would anyone need more than four praefectus? I'll use my own
provincia for an example. We are composed of five different
macronations, each with their own language and customs, and hence in
need of a regional administrator, whom our propraetor has chosen to name
as regional legatii. There are, admittedly, not many provinciae composed
of so many macronations, but many contain a wide variety of subcultures,
each of whom should have the possibility of a contact they can interact
with on equal terms.

My point here is that we cannot know for sure how large the demand is,
much less how large it will be at a later point, and should therefore
not this severly limit the tools our propraetors have and use to
administer their provinciae.

And yes, yes...he CAN appoint more. But how will he explain to the fifth
regional praefectus that he won't get any century points/Civil Service
Index for his service, while they will? Is this a way to motivate the
fifth, and maybe sixth and seventh, regional administrators to render
service to Nova Roma?

Disclaimer: Any opinions expressed herein are my own, and not in any way

Salvete Quirites; et salve, consul Sulla.

I have a couple of questions about your latest legislative proposal, if
you don't mind.

What does it exactly mean "past service" in this context? How are these
points exactly awarded?

I am not sure why this proposal tries to establish a limit of the
official assistants of a magistrate. Surely, you will understand that
the number of assistants a certain magistrate might need can vary
wildly, depending on particular circumstances and on the actual
workload a specific magistrate wants to undertake.

I understand that you want to avoid free giving of these points. No one
wants to see how points are awarded to people that are not doing
anything. However, limiting the number of assitants of a magistrate is
not a good solution, because a magistrate can need *many* assitants.

My solution would be this: let each magistrate decide how many
assistants he needs. If a magistrate commited abuse on this issue,
well, that can be publicly denounced. A magistrate that does not behave
properly will find himself short of votes in the next election. And, if
the abuse were flagrant, the Consules or the Tribuni can always veto
his appointments.

Let's not fall in the mistake of making laws that are too rigid to be
of any good. Laws should be as lax and flexible as possible, because
laws, unlike computer programs or building structures, have to deal
with the complexity of human minds and human relationships.

Past service would mean that I have been a Censor for two years, thus I
would get 60 Points, because of holding office for two years. Caius
Marius Merullus, was censor for 1 year. Thus he would get 30 Points. I
hope this clears that up.

To prevent abuse.

Yes, that is exactly why I am inputting this in. And there is an
appeal clause that magistrates, can draft a petition to the Senate to
exempt them from the limitations contained therein.

That hasn't been done. And, I think most magistrates would be very
cautious to publicly denounce another magistrate acting in such a way.

Its not rigid at all. Because there is an appeal mechanism inplace. I
would completely agree with you if there was not such a method built
in. Let the magistrate send a petition to the Senate justifying an
increase of staff. I see nothing wrong with that.

I respectfully disagree, as I posted in my introduction the lex Vedia
that governed this is not adequate given the amount of growth Nova Roma
experienced since it was drafted during the Dictatorship of Flavius
Vedius.

Because, it has been suggested that such methods are needed. As you
are using your provincia as an example I shall also use it. Your
provincia has 30 citizens total. 16 of them are titled. This means
over 50% of your entire province has some kind of title. This is
excessive. (Yes I am aware there are a couple of citizens who hold
multiple titles) but given that situation it is overly bureaucratic. I
have already spoken with Propraetor Caeso Fabius and together we
compromised in trying to create a workable plan that wont lead the
system to be abused, but currently there is no check in preventing a
governor from appointing every citizen in his province to some position
or another. This major loophole must be stopped before we have an
incident.

Please see my above comments. In the plan I presented there will be 1
Provincial Legate and 4 Praefectus. I have explained to Propraetor
Caeso, that being a second in command (Provincial Legate) would get more
points because he/she would already be a Praefectus (over a region).
Also, if a provincia is so wide a variety of subcultures, then there is
always the option to have the Senate break up the provincia so that it
would be more manageable, as well as having the Senate grant an
exemption to increase the staff of the provincia as well.

It is for this very reason that I have included the following clause:

The Senate shall have the authority to set limits on the number of
Provincial officials who receive points. Until the Senate acts the
limits shall be those limits stipulated in this law.

I have answered this above, if a governor feels he/she needs additional
staff, he can petition the Senate justifying his need.
