Passed laws

The following laws were approved either by an assembly (comitia) or by a Dictator. The legislative comitia are three : comitia centuriata, comitia populi tributa, and comitia plebis tributa.

Notes

1. ↑ Number of the law, by order of approval. The laws are numbered in this tabularium to avoid any confusion between two laws whose name is similar. This number generally has not been approved as a part of the law, at least till MMDCCLX.
2. ↑ The names ("nomen" in latin) of Nova Roma laws follow the usage in ancient Rome, when the word "lex" (law) was followed by the latin name of the proposing magistrate and topic of the law.
3. ↑ Here is the constitutional authority was has approved the text. It is, as in ancient Rome one of the three comitia (centuriata, populi tributa, plebis tributa). In case of a constitutional modification, the vote by the comitia centuriata must be confirmed by the Senate, by a senatus consultum (abbr. above 'SC'). At last, during a dictatorship, the dictator acts with legislative powers, as an assembly. Her/his acts are confirmed by the Senate, by a senatus consultum.
4. ↑ The date in which the presiding magistrate presented the text of the law to the Comitia.
5. ↑ The date in which the presiding magistrate announced the approval of the law in question.
6. ↑ Number of votes in favor of the law versus the votes against. Could be a number of centuries, tribes or senatores.
7. ↑ After its approval, a law could be rescinded or modified by another law, or, in Nova Roma system by a technical modification edict issued by a praetor; if not, the law is considered as "in force".
