Decimus Iunius Silanus: I am uncomfortable granting exemptions of this kind based on 'who' someone knows. Certain conditions would certainly warrant an exemption, this is not one of them. Franciscus Apulus Caesar: I give my approvation because the name of Pontifex Gaius Modius Athanasius is an assurance for me. But I hope these exemptions wouldn't be considered in the future. Gnaeus Equitius Marinus: Uti Rogas with the understanding that this is an exceptional and rare circumstance. Gnaeus Salvius Astur: Since I believe that this procedure is not necessary, I do not see any reason to deny an exemption from it. Lucius Equitius Cincinnatus Augur: I agree with others who have said it's an unnecessary requirement in any case.

Decimus Iunius Silanus: Sounds like a great project that will raise Nova Roma's profile. Emilia Curia Finnica: As a plebeian senator I'm very happy to see a capable and active Aedilis Plebis. This contest is a small but important step towards a wider recognition of Nova Roma. Franciscus Apulus Caesar I strongly support this item, the project by Aedile Constantinus Serapio could give credits and promotion to NR outside improving the number of active citizens. Gnaeus Equitius Marinus: With thanks to Aedile Serapio for his initiative Gnaeus Salvius Astur: With my best wishes for its success. Julilla Sempronia Magna: It's hard to imagine a better activity to promote Roman culture, and I commend Manius Constantinus Serapio for taking the initiative Patricia Cassia: Manius Constantius has been a consistent and dedicated Citizen and I look forward to reading the results of this event!

This recognition to be announced on the Nova Roma mailing lists and entered into the Senate's records. Item was passed as follows: Senator Item 5 Franciscus Apulus Caesar VR G. Popillius Laenas VR Alexander Iulius Caesar Probus Macedonicus VR Antonius Gryllus Graecus AB Appius Tullius Marcellus Cato VR Caeso Fabius Quintilianus VR Caius Flavius Diocletianus AB Decimus Iunius Silanus AB Decius Iunius Palladius Invictus AB Emilia Curia Finnica VR Gaia Fabia Livia AB Gaius Marius Merullus NV Gnaeus Equitius Marinus VR Gnaeus Salvius Astur VR Julilla Sempronia Magna VR Lucius Arminius Faustus VR Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix NV Lucius Equitius Cincinnatus Augur AN Lucius Sergius Australicus AB Lucius Sicinius Drusus NV Manius Constantinus Serapio VR Marcus Arminius Maior VR Marcus Cassius Julianus NV Marcus Iulius Perusianus AB Marcus Minucius-Tiberius Audens VR Marcus Octavius Germanicus NV Patricia Cassia VR Pompeia Minucia-Tiberia Strabo VR Quintus Fabius Maximus AN Titus Labienus Fortunatus VR VOTE ABREVIATIONS TOTALS VR = VTI ROGAS (Yes) 16 AN = ANTIQUO (No) 2 AB = ABSTINEO 7 NV = NOT VOTING 5 Results PASS SENATOR'S COMMENTS: Appius Tullius Marcellus Cato: I sincerely thank my Senate collegues for their support of this item. Caeso Fabius Quintilianus: I am very happy to see that the Academia Thules have been able to engage this truly dedicated individual and that the course has been met with such interest and satisfaction. Decius Iunius Palladius Invictus: I was going to approve this, but in light of recent information that this person may have resigned his citizenship, I will abstain. Emilia Curia Finnica: It's great to see the work of Academia Thules being noticed in Nova Roma. Franciscus Apulus Caesar: Congratulations to Illustrus Piscinus and to the Academia Thule Gnaeus Equitius Marinus: With most sincere thanks for the great gift provided Gnaeus Salvius Astur: I hope that this will be only the first of many fruitful courses. Julilla Sempronia Magna: The citizenship status of Marcus Horatius Piscinus is immaterial to me. This was an excellent course -- a well-balanced mix of lecture, reading and exercises. I believe that this course, if repeated, will go far to further understanding and practice of the Religio Romana. Offering appreciation for out- standing effort of any kind, from anyone, should be the rule -- not the exception. Lucius Equitius Cincinnatus Augur: Antiquo on account of this being someone who has resigned his citizenship. I am EXTREMELY tired of the ongoing debate concerning 'resignations'. This has been a totally absurd waste of time and effort. I guess some people just don't take it seriously,... therefore they ought not be entrusted with positions of authority, and certainly not given a reward of any note. Additionally, the revolving door policy detracts from our Dignitas, Gravitas, Honestas, Pietas, Nobilitas, Patientia et Virtus. Quintus Fabius Maximus: This person left Nova Roma. why should we reward that? cura ut valeas, Domitius Constantinus Fuscus, Tribunus Plebis 18 February 2758 </div>
