CONSULEDICTUM CONSULARE DE DONATIONIBUS COLLIGENDIS PRO CASTRIS OVO
 +
 +
I. With this edict, I am authorizing quaestor Q. Caecilius Metellus Macedonicus to manage the government task of collectio donationum pro Castris Ovo.
 +
 +
II. The content of this extra duty of the quaestor is to organize and conduct the Senate-ordered Fundraising Campaign for Castra Ovum, the permanent auxiliary and legionary fortress of Nova Roma in Provincia Britannia, owned and managed by Park In The Past, and garrisoned by our Legio XX Valeria Victrix Devae Victricis.He has the right to act under consular power, with the force of my consular power, in this task, and he reports to both consuls, to the curator aerarii, and to the quaestores aerarii.
 +
 +
III. I shall mention in this edict, that quaestor Q. Caecilius Metellus Macedonicus is the citizen formerly known as L. Papirius Cursor, who underwent a name correction procedure, and with respect for his paramount performance of duties as quaestor and vigil officer, his substantial donations to Nova Roma fortress project, and for his already done preparations and the upcoming large scale work that he is undertaking now, I authorized the Officium Censorium to make an exception from under the rule (a decision which is legally in the consuls' power), and to allow him this name correction, which, according to the lex Apula Popillia I.B.4, makes him "regarded as if he or she had always had this name." Q. Caecilius Metellus Macedonicus pledged to revive this ancient branch of the Caecilii Metelli, attending their sacra privata and the cult of the Manes of the Metelli Macedonici, and this is important for Nova Roma, since one of our many important the goals is to continue the traditions of the most noble and excellent Roman families. We wish Q. Metellus Macedonicus success in performing his new special quaestorial assignment.

This joint edict of the consules M. Aurelius Cotta Iovius and C. Petronius Stephanus Turpilianus officially reprimands aedilis curulis D. Claudius Aquilinus for his recent public behavior when he urinated outdoors at a Roman festival of Nova Roma, next to the tent of our reenactment legionaries, which might have been visible to many visitors, reenactors or even to photographers.
 +
 +
This caused a deep resentment and internal problems in the relationship of Nova Roma with said reenactment soldiers.
 +
 +
Given the indignitas of this behavior of the aedilis, he was invited to step down from his office, but he choose not do so. Nor did he pay any financial amends or, for honor's sake, undertake any other mitigating action to compensate for his transgression. 
 +
 +
While D. Claudius issued an official apology in private to the offended legionary organizers, they did not find the content of this satisfactory.
 +
 +
In light of this, we, the consules, would also like to extend an apology to the offended legionaries on behalf of the magistracy of Nova Roma.
 +
 +
Nova Roma does not condone this behavior from any citizen. Indeed, we must hold magistrates, in their capacity as the elected leadership of Nova Roma, to an even higher standard of scrutiny and behavior.
 +
 +
Let this incident be a reminder and lesson to all citizens that their behavior at our events, and in official Nova Roman forums, reflects not only the individual but also the organization and our community as a whole. We expect all citizens to conduct themselves in a manner that reflects the highest virtues and most noble examples of Romanitas, one that extols the glory of the Mos Maiorum.

EXPLANATION AND JUSTIFICATION OF THE ROGATIO
 +
 +
 +
Although traditionally all collegia (previously sodalitates) have been granted recognition as official Nova Roman institutions by approval of the Senate, the lex Caecilia de collegis et sodaliciis clearly states that state sponsorship of a collegium may be granted by any one of the comitia. After lengthy discussion, the Collegium Iurisprudentium decided by unanimous vote to seek state sponsorship by vote of the Comitia Populi Tributa. While approval from the Senate is a much easier path to state sponsorship, the members of the Collegium Iurisprudentium believe that founding the collegium by vote of the Nova Roman people aligns with its core objective of helping all Nova Romans better understand the laws of our Republic.

Edictum consulare de reprehensione D. Claudi aedilis curulis

EDICTUM CONSULARE DE REPREHENSIONE D. CLAUDI AEDILIS CURULIS

This joint edict of the consules M. Aurelius Cotta Iovius and C. Petronius Stephanus Turpilianus officially reprimands aedilis curulis D. Claudius Aquilinus for his recent public behavior when he urinated outdoors at a Roman festival of Nova Roma, next to the tent of our reenactment legionaries, which might have been visible to many visitors, reenactors or even to photographers.

This caused a deep resentment and internal problems in the relationship of Nova Roma with said reenactment soldiers.

Given the indignitas of this behavior of the aedilis, he was invited to step down from his office, but he choose not do so. Nor did he pay any financial amends or, for honor's sake, undertake any other mitigating action to compensate for his transgression.

While D. Claudius issued an official apology in private to the offended legionary organizers, they did not find the content of this satisfactory.

In light of this, we, the consules, would also like to extend an apology to the offended legionaries on behalf of the magistracy of Nova Roma.

EDICTUM CONSULARE DE FUNERE CENSORIO A. TULLIAE SCHOLASTICAE AUGUSTAE

Pursuant to the Senatus Consultum de funere censorio A. Tulliae Scholasticae Augustae principis senatus and to honour the memory and service of the late A. Tullia Scholastica Augusta, the consuls have determined that:

I. The funus censorium of A. Tullia Scholastica Augusta, funerary ritual and sacrifice will be held at a.d. V Id. Mai. (11th May). The ritual and sacrifice will be officiated by pontifex Cn. Cornelius Lentulus on behalf of both consuls.

II. A state mourning is declared from a.d. VI Id. Mai. (10th May) to a.d. IV Id. Mai. (12th May). In accordance with the Senatus Consultum de funere censorio A. Tulliae Scholasticae Augustae those days are declared Dies Nefasti Publici (NP).

III. The consuls instruct the aediles to hold the Ludi Tullii memorial games in this period within one month of the state mourning period.

Edictum consulare de intercessione aedilicia

EDICTUM CONSULARE DE INTERCESSIONE AEDILICIA

I. I hereby confirm all consular edicts that are currently in force.

II. Within my higher consular potestas, I hereby issue a counter veto (intercessio) and overturn the intercessio of aedilis curulis D. Claudius Aquilinus over the Edictum aedilicium de curatore Ludorum Quinvicennalium of M. Caecilius Metellus Tocaiensis.

III. In the spirit of reconciliation in the middle, I specify that the curator Ludorum Quinvicennalium is strictly a protocol and clerical duties office from now on, no ludi activities, no decisions may be made by the curator, except creating and publishing the archives, and sending out the notifications as stated in the original edict.

Dated on the Kalends of February, in the consulship of M. Cotta and C. Petronius, 2777 A. U. C.

Valete,

To vote against the rogatio, “Rogatio Aurelia de Collegio Iurisprudentium condendo: ANTIQUO (A)”


Send the email to the cista (voting urn) at: cista2777@gmail.com


EXPLANATION AND JUSTIFICATION OF THE ROGATIO


Although traditionally all collegia (previously sodalitates) have been granted recognition as official Nova Roman institutions by approval of the Senate, the lex Caecilia de collegis et sodaliciis clearly states that state sponsorship of a collegium may be granted by any one of the comitia. After lengthy discussion, the Collegium Iurisprudentium decided by unanimous vote to seek state sponsorship by vote of the Comitia Populi Tributa. While approval from the Senate is a much easier path to state sponsorship, the members of the Collegium Iurisprudentium believe that founding the collegium by vote of the Nova Roman people aligns with its core objective of helping all Nova Romans better understand the laws of our Republic.
