EDICTUM CONSULAREOath of ApparitoresEx Officio Consulis Senioris Caesonis Fabii Quintiliani Edictum Consulare CFQ III de Iusiurando Apparitorium (The Third Consular Edict Concerning the Oath of Attendants/Apparitores) There have been a discussion about oaths in Nova Roma that has convinced me that there is a need for a separate oath for Appiatores, as I do think that their positions certainly are serious, important and needed in their own way. It is my intention that this oath should be sworn by every Appiator in Nova Roma and that also other more informal "officials" could be required to swear this oath. I end by thanking Illustrus Decius Iunius Palladius, who provided me with the major part of this oath and my colleague Illusrtus Titus Labienus Fortunatus who supported me in this work. Oath for Apparitoria I, __enter Roman name here____________do hereby solemnly swear to uphold the honor of Nova Roma, and to act always in the best interests of __enter name of appointing magistrate here____ while I hold this office, except when such action would be illegal or unconstitutional. I, _____________________further swear to fulfill the obligations and Responsibilities of the office of ______________to the best of my Abilities while following the Roman virtues and ideals.
