Salvete Omnes,
The rogators have sent me the final results of the elections.
I wish to thank them for their hard work - the position of Rogator
is a 'behind the scenes' job which indeed gets too little mention.
I also wish to publicly congratulate our newly elected magistrates!
-Marcus Cassius Julianus
Consul
ELECTION RESULTS:
C Centuriata
Censor
Diocletianus 84
Vedia 46
Tied votes, decided upon by the gods:
Dio: wins 16 votes extra
Vedia wins 10 votes extra
This brings the total to: Diocletianus 100 and Vedia 56
** Diocletianus is elected CENSOR.
Consul:
M. Octavius Germanicus 97
L. Cornelius Sulla 94
** Both are elected, M. Octavius is senior.
Praetor: new elections necessary, but the results of these elections
are:
Pompeia 76 (not a mater familias, Fortunatus and Fabius are both PF)
Fortunatus 62 + 2
Fabius 47 + 2
The tied centuries were decided upon by the gods.
Gaius Geminius Germanus 1
Necessary Centuries to win: half of the voting centuries +1. 158
centuries voted, 80 centuries needed to win.
**No candidate has sufficient votes, so a second election will be
needed.
Lex Vedia de Tribuni
Yes 128
No (including Abstineo) 23
Lex Vedia de Liberus Civium
Yes 136
No (including Abstineo) 16
