Laws currently in force

The following laws, currently in force, were approved either by an assembly (comitia) or by a dictator. The legislative comitia are three : Comitia Centuriata, Comitia Tributa, and Concilium Plebis.

The order of the laws below is discontinuous, for the missing laws are no more in force, and have therefore been withdrawn of the present table. They may still be consulted in the list of all passed laws.

In this spirit, a few laws may be in an intermediary status, waiting to be moved to the "List of all passed laws" page. They may be identified in the right column by the mention "Repealed by...".

Notes

1. ↑ The names of Nova Roman laws follow ancient Roma practice, where the word "lex" (law) was followed by the feminine form of the nomen gentile of the proposing magistrate and a reference to the topic of the law.
2. ↑ 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.
3. ↑ The date in which the presiding magistrate presented the text of the law to the Comitia.
4. ↑ The date in which the presiding magistrate announced the approval of the law in question.
5. ↑ Number of votes in favor of the law versus the votes against. Could be a number of centuries, tribes or senatores.
6. ↑ After its approval, a law could be rescinded or modified by another law, or, in Nova Roma system by a technical modification edict issued by a praetor; if not, the law is considered as "in force".
