Governors are '''special commissioners''' of the [[senate (Nova Roma)\|senate]], and their area of responsibility is called a '''''[[provinciae (Nova Roma)\|provincia]]'''''. Both the geographic area of responsibility and the operational area of a command over legions were called ''"provincia"'' in Roman legal terminology. Accordingly, there is no separation of civilian administration and military command in Nova Roma, either, regarding provincial management. This means that governors are always (reenactment) generals, provincial commanders-in-chief of the Nova Roman reenactment units within their province. However, not all chief commanders are governors. Special generals commanding certain troops can be appointed even outside the provincial structure, but these generals have the same constitutional position as governors.

		+	==Introduction==
		+
		+	A Nova Roman '''governor''' is a person appointed by the [[Senate (Nova Roma)\|senate]] to lead, manage and oversee the operation and administration of a [[provincia (Nova Roma)\|province]]. All provincial governors are subordinate to the [[Senate (Nova Roma)\|senate]] and to the central Nova Roma [[Magistracies (Nova Roma)\|magistrates]].

	==Titles==		==Titles==

−	~~The~~ governor of the province can be ~~variously termed,~~ ''consul'', ''proconsul'', ''praetor'', ''propraetor'', or ''legatus pro praetore''~~; the~~ title depends on previous ~~offices~~ held by the governor.	+	Ancient Romans didn't use the term "governor" or "gubernatorial" to articulate the appointed leaders of regions or provinces like the way it is done in the modern context. The title for a citizen who is governor of a Roman province can be one of any number of terms including: ''consul'', ''proconsul'', ''praetor'', ''propraetor'', or ''legatus pro praetore''. The title depends on the office or previous office held by the governor.

−	Currently-serving ''consules'' governing provinces ~~shall~~ be titled '''''consul'''''. Former ''consules'' who are continuing to govern a province after their term as ''consul'' ends ~~shall be~~ titled '''''proconsul'''''.	+	*Currently-serving ''[[Consul (Nova Roma)\|consules]]'' governing provinces are be titled '''''consul'''''. Former ''consules'' who are continuing to govern a province after their term as ''consul'' ends are titled '''''proconsul'''''.

''Praetores'' who continue to govern a province after their first term of office ends ~~shall be~~ titled '''''propraetor'''''.	+	*Currently-serving ''[[Praetor (Nova Roma)\|praetores]]'' governing a province are titled '''''praetor'''''. ''Praetores'' who continue to govern a province after their first term of office ends are titled '''''propraetor'''''.

−	~~The~~ "governor" of Italy ~~shall be~~ called '''''praefectus Italiae'''''. If a sitting ''consul'' or ''praetor'' resides in Italy and they serve as "governor" on behalf of the senate of Nova Roma they ~~shall be~~ called ''consul'' or ''praetor''.	+	*A "governor" of ''[[Italia_Nova_Romana\|Provincia Italia]]'' (Italy) is called '''''praefectus Italiae'''''. If a sitting ''consul'' or ''praetor'' resides in Italy and they serve as "governor" on behalf of the senate of Nova Roma, they are called ''consul'' or ''praetor''.

−	~~All other citizens appointed~~ by the ~~Senate to govern~~ a ~~province~~ of ~~Nova Roma shall be called~~ '''''~~legatus~~ pro praetore'''''.	+	*Currently serving ''[[Quaestor (Nova Roma)\|quaestores]]'' may be granted a temporary governorship by the will of the senate until a permanent successor is found. They will have the title of '''''quaestor pro praetore'''''.

−	~~==Powers==~~	+	*Special instances of a citizen acting as a chief-governor of a ''dioecesis'' (a cluster of provinces temporarily combined together for reorganization) is called a '''''dux'''''.
		+
		+	*All other citizens appointed by the senate to govern a province of Nova Roma are called '''''legatus pro praetore'''''.

−	The ''[[Lex Vedia Provincialis (Nova Roma)\|lex Vedia provincialis]]'' outlines the powers and duties of the provincial governors. These powers, as one would expect, are limited to the boundaries of the province. As in antiquity, a provincial governor has the honour of being preceded by six lictors. ''Edicta'' may be proclaimed on matters solely related to the day to day management of the province. They may also appoint provincial officials, but they must follow guidelines set out by the senate.	+	==Powers & Responsibilities==

−	~~==Legal precedence==~~	+	Articles V.C 1-5 of the ''[[Lex Cornelia Domitia de re publica constituenda (Nova Roma)\|lex Cornelia Domitia de re publica constituenda]]'' outlines the powers and duties of the provincial governors. These powers, as one would expect, are limited to the boundaries of the province.

−	~~Governors may be replaced at~~ any ~~time, and specially every year when~~ the ~~senate examines their annual activity. A~~ governor ~~has thus no interest to challenge the authority~~ of the ~~senate~~.	+	===Oath of Office===
		+	Before conducting or exercising any powers within the province, a governor must take an [[Oath of office (Nova Roma)\|oath of office]]. The oath is conducted in accordance with the ''[[Lex Iunia de iure iurando (Nova Roma)\|lex Iunia de iure iurando]]'' and ''[[Edicta_MMDCCLXXIV#Edictum_praetorium_Barosi_de_iure_iurando_Latino\|edictum praetorium Barosi de iure iurando Latino]]''.

−	~~This consideration let aside,~~ the ~~governors have a wide competency in their~~ province, ~~owning inside~~ the ''[[~~imperium~~]]'' ~~and~~ the ~~judicial competency for trials which involve two citizens of~~ the ~~province~~.	+	===Passing Local Laws===
		+	''Edicta'' may be proclaimed on matters solely related to the day to day management of the province. Governors are bound by the ''[[Lex Arria de edictis (Nova Roma)\|lex Arria de edictis]]'' that stipulates that when first appointed, they must first promulgate an ''edictum'' that confirms or revokes any ''edicta'' of their predecessors (when applicable). In accordance with the ''[[Lex Vedia de ratione edictorum (Nova Roma)\|lex Vedia de ratione edictorum]]'', all provincial edicts must be posted to the main Nova Roma forum the ''[https://groups.io/g/TheForumRomanum Forum Romanum]'' to be considered valid. ''[[Edicta_MMDCCLXXV#Edictum_consulare_de_regulis_edictorum_gerendorum_in_foro_praecipuo\|Edictum consulare de regulis edictorum gerendorum in foro praecipuo]]'' requires specific formatting when posting an edict to the forum.

−	~~Although they depend directly on the senate, governors are submitted to the higher~~ ''~~imperium~~'' of the ~~central magistrates, too: their local~~ ''~~imperium~~'' ~~applies as long as it does not enter~~ in ~~conflict with the higher ''imperium'' of the ''praetores''~~ or ''~~consules~~'' ~~of Nova Roma~~. ~~All governors obey any consular official request or a praetorian request, when~~ the ~~''praetor'' acts~~ in ~~the place of~~ the ''~~consules~~'' ~~or in~~ the frame of their own special administrative or judicial competencies whose execution is necessary in the concerned province. Similarly, the governor must apply every measure issued by any central magistrate, even if this magistrate has no ''~~imperium~~''~~, but works in a field which results of the application of Nova Roman law~~.	+	===Judicial Matters===
		+	The ''[[Lex Equitia de iurisdictione (Nova Roma)\|lex Equitia de iurisdictione]]'' allows the governor to manage and grant trials in any matter between citizens who live in that provincia (or in any matter between a citizen and a ''peregrinus'' who both live in that provincia or between ''peregrini'' who both live in that provincia. Governors are bound by the process and law defined in the ''[[Lex Salvia iudiciaria (Nova Roma)\|lex Salvia iudiciaria]]'' and the ''[[Lex Salvia poenalis (Nova Roma)\|lex Salvia poenalis]]''.

		+	===Citizen Data Privacy===
		+	Governors may be provided citizen data by the Office of the Censors to effectively administer their province. The ''[[Lex Galeria de privatis rebus (Nova Roma)\|lex Galeria de privatis rebus]]'' mandates the handling requirements of that data to aid in maintaining citizen data privacy. Within the province, only governors and directly appointed assistants (such as lietenant governors or provincial quaestors; normally first-rank officials) can have access to such data. Governors may also be given duties with the powers of the censors to carry out specific data tasks under the ''[[Lex Arminia de levandis censorum oneribus (Nova Roma)\|lex Arminia de levandis censorum oneribus]]''.

−	== ~~Current Governors~~ of Nova Roman ~~Provinces ==~~	+	===Forming Local Groups===
		+	As part of the objectives and mission of Nova Roma, governors should seek to partner with or establish local reenactment and living-history groups. The legilsation that governs the formal relationships Nova Roma can form with entities like Roman reenactment legions is documented in the ''[[Lex Aurelia de legionibus (Nova Roma)\|Lex Aurelia de legionibus]]''. Governors will also play a role in encouraging, overseeing and facilitating the founding of [[Municipalities (Nova Roma)\|municipalities]], with the framework for these local communities articulated in the ''[[Lex Fabia de oppidis et municipiis (Nova Roma)\|lex Fabia de oppidis et municipiis]]''.

		+	===Reporting===
		+	Governors are required to submit a formal report on the status of their province each year by the Kal. Feb. in accordance with the ''[[Senatus consultum de relationibus praesidum provinciarum\|senatus consultum de relationibus praesidum provinciarum]]''. The report must provide a detailed evaluation of activities and citizenhsip against key performance indicators as required by the ''[[Senatus consultum de provinciis ordinandis\|senatus consultum de provinciis ordinandis]]''.

−	~~{{:List of current governors}}~~	+	===Managing Provincial Apparitores===
		+	Governors are entitled to appoint provincial officials via an ''edictum'', but they must follow the guidelines set out by the senate and the applicable Nova Roman legislation. Not all provincial positions are ''[[Album Decuriarum Apparitoriarum (Nova Roma)\|apparitores]]'', but for those that are, the ''[[Lex Vedia apparitoria (Nova Roma)\|lex Vedia apparitoria (Nova Roma)]]'' governs the types available and the duties they perform. Governors should make sure they stipulate the necessary requirements documented in the ''lex'' in those ''edicta'' that appoint provincial officials and staff.

		+	As in antiquity, a provincial governor also has the honor of being preceded by a number of ''[[Lictor (Nova Roma)\|lictores]]'' depending on their rank of office. Twelve for governors with consular imperium, six for governors with praetorian imperium, and five for governors who are not holding their governorship as ''propraetors'' or otherwise haven't held the office of praetor.

		+	===Census Points===
		+	Under the ''[[Rogatio Arria de censu civium aestimando\|lex Arria de censu civium aestimando]]'', governors are awarded 50 [[Census points\|Census Points]] (CP) under article III.A.7.d.i when appointed. They are not entitled to more CP unless prorogued by the senate.

−	[[~~Category:Magistracies~~ (Nova Roma)]]	+	Governors are also given leverage to create activities, positions and awards that offer CP. Governors can facilitate local competitions that award CP under article III.D.2. Article III.F. defines the various tiers of award that governors can associate to some public reward for service or recognition internally. Note that all awards issued by a governor are subject to review and oversight of the censors and panel of quaestors as per article II.
		+
		+	*Note: The ''[[Rogatio Arria de censu civium aestimando\|lex Arria de censu civium aestimando]]'' is not technically fully released and in-force. As a stand-in measure, the ''[[Lex Fabia centuriata (Nova Roma)\|lex Fabia centuriata]]'' has been revived and is currently providing the framework for CP award.
		+
		+	===Website Province Pages===
		+	Governors have access to a set of pages on the Nova Roma official website that they can manage or direct the content thereof. These pages can list information about their provincial ''[[Praetorium (Nova Roma)\|praetorium]]'', the ''[[Cohors praetoria (Nova Roma)\|cohors praetoria]]'', local events, history, citizenry and links to any external website of forum that represents the province or governor.
		+
		+	==Legal precedence==
		+
		+	Governors may be replaced at any time and specially every year when the senate examines their annual activity. A governor thus cannot challenge the authority of the senate. While appointed, governors are entrusted to preside over their province based on their discretion and judgement. They have full power to command and make laws within the province, so long as they are bound by the existing Nova Roma legislation.
		+
		+	Although they depend directly on the senate, governors are submitted to the higher ''imperium'' of the central magistrates, too: their local ''imperium'' applies as long as it does not enter in conflict with the higher ''imperium'' of the ''praetores'' or ''consules'' of Nova Roma. All governors obey any consular official request or a praetorian request, when the ''praetor'' acts in the place of the ''consules'' or in the frame of their own special administrative or judicial competencies whose execution is necessary in the concerned province. Similarly, the governor must apply every measure issued by any central magistrate, even if this magistrate has no ''imperium'', but works in a field which results of the application of Nova Roman law.
		+
		+	Provinces are normally first given to sitting consuls and praetors, who may continue their governorship by prorogation of imperium from the senate or the comitia. When that is impossible or impractical, provinces are assigned to former consuls and praetors, whose imperium is renewed by the senate or the comitia. When no current or former consul or praetor can be found as the most suitable candidate for the governorship, the senate or the comitia can grant imperium and assign the province to another individual. No governor shall assume imperium and ''auspicia'' without a taking of office ceremony of the Religio Romana before, including an inauguration and taking the vows of imperium, the oaths and auspices for the term of office with a favorable result; a governor without these procedural steps may not legally exercise any powers of his office.
