DECRETUM PONTIFICUM DE IUSTITIA ET DE C. PETRONIO DEXTRO

Enacted on: Id. Sept. C. Claudio T. Domitio (II) cos. ‡ XXI ANRC et MMDCCLXXI AUC, Anniversario XX Novae Romae Conditae, Anno Sacro Concordiae (In the year of the consulship of C. Claudius and T. Domitius (II), 13rd September, 21 ANRC / 2771 AUC / 2018 AD, in the 20th Anniversary of the Founding of Nova Roma, the Sacred Year of Concordia)

I. The senate has issued the following senatus consultum ultimum: “The purported expulsion in MMDCCLXVII (2014 C.E.) of C. Petronius Dexter from the Collegium Pontificum, and his offices as Pontifex Maximus and Flamen Portunalis, is declared to have been illegal and, accordingly, null and void. It is requested that the Collegium Pontificum reaffirm the religious offices of C. Petronius Dexter, status quo ante.”

II. As instructed by this senatus consultum ultimum, which has invalidated the unconstitutional intervention of the senate into the membership composition of the Collegium Pontificum as of January Sta. Cornelia C. Aemilio, the Collegium Pontificum reaffirms C. Petronius Dexter as Pontifex Maximus and Flamen Portunalis, effective immediately, restoring T. Iulius Sabinus to his previous position as Pontifex.

His appointment as Pontifex will be reviewed within 12 months and he will be removed from this position if he didn’t prove to be a useful addition to the Collegium Pontificum. Pontifex M.
