Consular edict concerning the establishment of prior edicts at the beginning of the magistracy

I. In accordance with the Lex Arria de edictis, magistrates are required to confirm or revoke those edicta of their office predecessors before any new edicta can be issued. This edict is hereby issued to meet this legislative requirement. This comprehensive review has been conducted to not only ensure a high level of accuracy, it serves as a way to install confidence that the consuls place a high priority on good governance, but also to serve as a benchmark that will make it easier for current and future magistracies to understand all the current applicable law. We proclaim this edict prior to the calling of the Comitia Curiata.

II. The following consular edicta are considered “Lapsed”, no longer relevant, time expired, or overtaken by events. When considering an edict as lapsed, it does not nullify or revoke the original content but establishes that the edict is no longer active and enforceable. Lasped edicta become historical only, not part of a current body of law. It is not a requirement to articulate an edict as lapsed, but is done so for clarity and accuracy.
