2004/02 Edictum Propraetoricium XX (VI Galaicum)

Gn. Salix Galaicus, propraetor Hispaniae salutem vobis dat:

The Lex Fabia de Oppidis et Municipiis supports the joint of local groups of Nova Roman citizens. This law demonstrates how the increase of Nova Romans' number and the increase of the activities they make, need necessarily the formation of local groups and a deeper presence in the organization of the provincial territory. Besides, the presence of local groups of nova romans helps the growth of the "not virtual" aspect of our Res Publica.

As prescript in the Lex Fabia, I recognize that the Foedus Oppidi presented by the cives of this local group has the legal requirements prescript by the law in the paragraph III.a

So I recognize that this local group has the prescripted requirements to obtain the official authorization.

Therefore I announce the birth of a new nova roman Oppidum: COMPLUTUM


FOEDVS DE CONSTITVTIONE OPPIDI COMPLUTENSIS
