Album Civium

The late L. Equitius Cincinnatus Augur was a censorial and consular senator, in fact the first non-founding citizen appointed to the Senate. He was the flamen Martialis of Nova Roma, pontifex and augur, and the founder of the Nova Roman patrician gens Equitia. L. Equitius was one of the most important religious leaders of the early Nova Roma, and a widely respected prominent citizen. In his macronational life, he was a US Navy war veteran, military diver for 17 years.

Cincinnatus was known as the first person to actually use the Nova Roman sestertius (the "Declaratio" coin) as real money in a business transaction with M. Cassius Iulianus at Roman Days in Maryland USA.

He was elected consul for the year L. Equitio Dec. Iunio cos. ‡ MMDCCLII a.u.c.; however, this election was later ruled invalid by dictator Fl. Vedius Germanicus.

On a.d. X Kal. Mar. ‡ M. Moravio T. Iulio cos. ‡ MMDCCLXI a.u.c., during the restructuring of the leadership of the Nova Roman priesthood, and internal Nova Roman trial was initiated against him. He lost the trial, and as part of the verdict, L. Equitius was stripped of all his titles and even his assiduus status, being demoted to the status of capite census, resulting from an internal trial initiated by pontifex and censor K. Buteo Modianus, for refusing to admit the latter to official Nova Roman mailing lists owned by L. Equitius. This was the famous Cincinnatus-trial which set the topic of public discourse for the upcoming years, and which contributed to the starting causes of the Second "Civil War" of Nova Roma.

The praetores issued a judgement against L. Equitius, and they added an additional fine to the sentence due to his refusal to participate in the trial. Censor Ti. Galerius Paulinus, as advocatus for L. Equitius, demanded the right of provocatio. Cn. Iulius Caesar also became an outspoken advocate of justice for Cincinnatus, which based his rise as the leader of the opposition and eventually as the ruler of Nova Roma two years later.

L. Equitius was affected by a serious disease in April C. Claudio T. Domitio (II) cos. ‡ MMDCCLXXI a.u.c., and was on rehabilitation for over two years, but he could never return to full health.
