Salvete,
The Summer is getting nearer, and now, my fellow Romans, it is the
time to make reservation to your calendars about the absolute
highlight of the Summer 2002: The Nova Roman Rally in Europe 2002!
The Rally is the only official all Novaroman gathering in Europe
during year 2002. It may be your only chance of seeing citizens from
other provinces and make life-long friendships with other Novaromans
during this year, so you don't want to miss it.
The Rally is held in Tongeren, Belgium at the weekend of 9th - 11th
of August. We have pre-arranged all sorts of program with Roman
theme, including a dinner, visit to the places of Roman remains,
including the Sanatorium of Pliny the Younger. And what is most
important, the weekend includes a lot of time to be together with
other Novaromans!

of Nova Roma, save for those exceptions listed below. They are
empowered to use all moderation features provided, subject to
Constitutional free speech guarantees, Tribunician intercessio, and
any leges explicitly setting list policies. They may delegate such
authority to their appointed scribae.
The Praetores are empowered to create and enforce policies of
acceptable behavior in the public fora.

include the general discussion mailing list (currently
"novaroma@yahoogroups.com"), the announcements mailing list

Item III: Lex Cornelia de Censo
Pursuant to the Constitution of Nova Roma (II.A. 4 and IV.A.1.b) the
following law is hereby enacted to determine the accurate numbers of
citizens who make up Nova Roma.
I. A Census of all citizens of Nova Roma should be done every 2 years.
This would be the responsibility of the Censors.
II. The Nova Roma Census will last for a period of 8 weeks, and must be
completed by the Ides of September. The start and end of the census period
will be announced by the Censors on the NR website, official lists, and in
the major forums. The official lists are currently located at
novaroma@yahoogroups.com and NovaRoma-Announce@yahoogroups.com.
Notification must also be published on the Nova Roma Message board.
III. The Census will consist of the following:
A. Active citizens are those citizens that do not need to be contacted by
the Censors to determine if they are apart of Nova Roma:
1. Those citizens who voted in the main election (in December) shall be
considered "censi."
2. Those citizens who have paid taxes for the current calendar year shall
be considered "censi".
3. Paterfamiliae who have successfully responded to the yearly registration
of the Lex Cornelia de Tabulis Gentium Novaromanarum Agendis shall be
considered “censi”.
4. Persons who became citizens during the current calendar year shall be
considered "censi".
IV. Inactive citizens are those citizens who fail to meet at least one of
the conditions in IV A. The following will lay down some of the procedures
to contact inactive citizens. Inactive citizens are those citizens who will
need to be contacted by the National Census. The following methods will be
used to contact inactive citizens:
A. Bulk Email. At least two attempts should be done to contact citizen
via this avenue.
B. Individual email. If a Citizen email bounces back as invalid from the
bulk email, the Censors shall send them an individual email to verify there
was not a problem with an email service filter.
C. Phone calls. If a Citizen is unreachable due to an invalid email
address, the Censors shall attempt to contact them by phone. This may be
done on the Provincial level under the direction of the Censors if possible.
D. Surface mail. "Inactive" Citizens who are unreachable by email or
phone shall receive a mailing from the Censors. This may also be done on the
Provincial level if possible. Surface mail information should be forwarded
to whatever official NR address is specified by the
Censors. Surface mail information must reach the Censors before the Ides
of September.
The Current Official address of all Nova Roman 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 address
should be utilized.
E. A temporary banner and link will be put on the main NR website for the
duration of the Census, where individual citizens may input their
information to comply with the Census.
V. All communicated information pertaining to the Census shall be noted in
a database on the Nova Roma Website, the address of which will be specified
by the Censores at the beginning of the Registration Period. Citizen
information may be inputted into this database by the Censores, their
appointed assistants, or by the individual citizens.
VI. By the Ides of August, the Censors should post a list to the official
email list of Nova Roma displaying the names of those citizens who have
failed to respond.
VII. If a citizen fails to respond to the contact attempts, that person
will no longer be considered a citizen of Nova Roma. His name will be
stricken from the Album Civium and if he/she is a Pater/Mater, the Censors
will abide by the Constitution, any laws, and any Censorial edict if the
appointment of a paterfamilias is necessary. However, the Censors have the
discretion to waive this clause if both Censors feel there are legitimate
reasons for the citizen to remain incommunicado.
VIII. If a citizen who knows of an extended period of unavailability that
will coincide with the census, he may contact the censors up to 3 months
before the census is to begin to inform them of his active status and his
desire to be counted in the census. Such contact will be considered by the
censors as having fulfilled the citizen's duty to reply during the census
period. Proxies are not permitted during the National Census effort.
IX. A former citizen may appeal to the Senate to have his removal from the
Album Civium reconsidered. Such an appeal must be filed with the consuls
within 90 days of the former citizens removal from the Album Civium. A
2/3rds vote of the Senate is needed to overturn the decision of the censors.
X. A budget is to be provided for the Censors' Office to offset costs for
conducting the census. This budget is to be included only for the years that
a Census takes place. The amount to be set aside would be established by
the Senate of Nova Roma.
XI. The First Census will take place during the Consulship of Marcus
Octavius Germanicus and Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix (2755 AUC).
==============================
Comitia Centuriata
Item I: Lex Octavia de Centuriata
Paragraph II.E.2 of the Constitution is hereby amended to read as follows:
2. There shall exist a number of centuries, said number to be set by law
enacted by the Comitia Centuriata and not to exceed one hundred ninety three,
into which the censors shall divide all of the citizens. Until such
a law is passed, the number of centuries shall be one hundred ninety three.
The exact composition of these centuries shall be determined by law passed
by the comitia centuriata, but shall be weighted in favor of
those citizens who have shown the greatest commitment to Nova Roma.
The existing text that shall be replaced is this:
] 2.There shall exist one hundred and ninety-three centuries,
] into which the censors shall divide all of the citizens. The exact
] composition of these centuries shall be determined by law passed
] by the comitia centuriata, but shall be weighted in favor of

That happened so recently, that I did not want to delay the current
