COLLEGIUM PONTIFICUMNew Quindecimvir Sacris Faciundis: Lauria Maria CrispaIt is my pleasure to announce that Lauria Maria Crispa, has been accepted as Quindecimviri Sacris Faciundis. In ancient Rome, the Quindecimviri Sacris Faciundis had responsibility for interpreting the Sibylline Books at the request of the Senate in times of trouble. This office was of great importance to the continuance of the state. The College of Pontiffs is working with Lauria Maria to help restore what survives of the ancient Sibylline Books, so that our nation may again have direct guidance from the Gods if such is needed. I must say that Laura Maria's skills and dedication to the ancient ways have made her uniquely suited for such a post. This is an office we had little hope of filling before such an outstanding candidate chose to present herself. I hope that all Citizens will join me in congratulating Laura Maria Crispa as a new member of the Priesthood of Nova Roma!
