Access to the [[patrician (Nova Roma)\|patrician]] order is by selection of a stirps (nomen-cognomen combination) considered patrician in the ancient Roman Republic or by adoption into an existing Nova Roman patrician family. In both cases, new citizens must articulate their willingness and dedication to uphold the ancestral traditions of these patrician family names and their commitment to study and research the lineage.

		+	Enacted under the [[Lex Arria de patriciis Romanis (Nova Roma)\|lex Arria de patriciis Romanis]], patrician status is ultimately determined by the Onomastic Office of the censors, but is influenced by the following:
		+
		+	*if there is published, academic evidence in research and scholarship demonstrating the patrician status of the stirps.
		+	*in uncertain cases where modern scholarship is undecided, the determining factor shall be what the ''communis opinio'' is about the family in the extant ancient Roman authors.
		+	*stirpes with consuls until the consulship of L. Aemilius Mamercinus and L. Sextius Sextinus Lateranus shall be regarded as patricians even if there is no clear evidence about their status in scholarship or in the Roman authors.
		+	*for a stirps that is identified as patrician, but is found as plebeian in later history (an example would be the Iunii Bruti, patricians at first but plebeians in the late republic), it shall be possible to choose between the patriciatus and the plebs.

	Regarding rights and privileges, functionally there is almost no difference between patricians and plebeians, however, patricians can not participate or vote in the [[comitia plebis tributa (Nova Roma)\|''comitia plebis tributa'']], and can not be elected [[Tribunus plebis (Nova Roma)\|''tribunus plebis'']] and [[Aedilis plebis (Nova Roma)\|''aedilis plebis'']], offices open only to plebeians.
