Edictum censorium de relatione census sex. Lucilio et a. Tullia cos. (2775 AUC, 25 ANRC, 2022 AD)

With the completion of census registrations and the celebrations of the ceremonies of the Lustrum, we, the censores, Q. Arrius Nauta and P. Annaeus Constantinus Placidus, hereby officially edict, declare, proclaim and announce the Census of the Nova Roman People of the Quirites and the Nova Roman Republic completed and closed. The Nova Roman People, all of our citizens who registered on the census, have been ritually purified and lustrated and renewed for a new period in this 25th year of Nova Roma, and propitious blessings from the gods immortal of the Roman people are now being received for the lives of our citizens and for new works in our mission to restore the Roman nation, state and culture. This edict contains the "Relatio Census Sex. Lucilio Tutore II et A. Tullia Scholastica II consulibus" (Census 2022 Report) which reports the census period that started on a.d. III Kal. Iun. Sex. Lucilio II A. Tullia II cos. (30 May, 2022) and was completed on Id. Oct. Sex. Lucilio II A. Tullia II cos. (15 October, 2022).

Census 2022 Report by Censores Q. Arrius Nauta and P. Annaeus Constantinus Placidus

The current census was completed and managed by the Officium Censuale (Census Office), directed by the scriba magister census, praeco ad censum, Cn. Cornelius Lentulus, quaestor. Important assistants of the work were quaestor and praeco of the Officium Rei Informaticae, scriba of the Officium Administrationis Publicae C. Marcius Augustinus; quaestrix T.

The following is the detailed Report of the Census Sex. Lucilio Tutore II A. Tullia Scholastica II consulibus:

I. Summary and Introduction

The censors conducted a census of all citizens of Nova Roma from a.d. III Kal. Iun. Sex. Lucilio II A. Tullia II cos. (30 May, 2022), opening the census with the EDICTVM CENSORIVM DE LEGIBVS CENSVI CENSENDO. That edict contained the legal basis and regulation for the current census. This present edict contains some more regulations that were not previously proclaimed.

I.A. The Management of Officium Censorium conducting the Census consisted of the following:

Popillia Laenas; scriba programmator situs internetualis of the Officium Rei Informaticae C. Amatius Structus; and praeco ad censum and scriba censorius C. Sempronius Scepsis Agricola. We thank all governors who assisted in the process and effectively promoted the census in their provinces.

I.B. General information about the census

I.B.1. The last complete census, officially called the Census Q. Arrio P. Annaeo cos. MMDCCLXXII (2019), was held for a longer, interrupted period, between a.d. V Id. Mar. Q. Arrio P. Annaeo cos. – a.d. XIII Kal. Ian. Q. Arrio II T. Domitio III cos. (11 March 2019 – 20 December 2020), with the lustrum being conducted, and thus the census completely closed on prid. Kal. Ian. Q. Arrio II T. Domitio III cos. (31 December 2020).

I.B.2. The current lustrum was performed on the last day of the census, on Id. Oct. Sex. Lucilio II A. Tullia II cos. (15 October, 2022), in Roman forum of Aquincum, by censor Q. Arrius Nauta, assisted by two pontifices Cn. Cornelius Lentulus and C. Petronius Stephanus Turpilianus, and one flamen, M. Aurelius Cotta Iovius, and was attended and praetor C. Cornelius Barosus, the same M. Aurelius Cotta Iovius as aedilis curulis, the same Cn. Cornelius Lentulus as quaestor, T. Popilliae Laenas as quaestor, the same C. Petronius Stephanus Turpilianus as tribunus plebis, Ti. Caecilia Sabina as tribuna plebis, A. Fabricius Pardalas as tribuna plebis. The ceremonies were instructed by pontifex Cn. Cornelius Lentulus.

I.B.3. The census was closed both by the registrations deadline and the lustrum, having been held that same day, on Id. Oct. Sex. Lucilio II A. Tullia II cos. (15 October, 2022). By censorial administrative order, late registrations were accepted until the Nones of December (5 December) from old citizens, and arriving new citizens of Nova Roma were included until the Ides of December (13 December).

II. The results of the Census

II.A. The results of the census of the Nova Roman People is the following: at the moment of the closing of the census, there are 739 citizens registered in the census, and we have 5,832 Nova Roman citizens of different legal statuses in total. The number of people who have ever been citizens of Nova Roma, together with those who passed away or renounced their citizenship, is 6,173 according to the present statistics and calculations of the Censorial Office.

II.B. Before the start of the census, there were 1,107 active cives censi (census registered citizens), accumulating since the last completed census in Q. Arrio II T. Domitio III cos. (2020).

II.C. The total number of Nova Roman citizens (census registered, active citizens, and unregistered, disappeared citizens) is 5,832, out of which number 739 are currently registered good standing citizens, and 3,561 failed to answer this or any of the past censuses of Nova Roma. Out of the current 5,060 unregistered citizens, the number of those formerly census registered citizens who haven’t answered the current census is 518; the others didn’t respond to previous censuses. The difference (589) between the number of active citizens at the start of the census (1,107) and the number of those who have disappeared during this census (518) is the number who are continuing their active status since the last census. The surplus difference (150) between them, and the final list of citizens registered on the census (739) comes from the combined number of new citizens who joined Nova Roma since the start of the census (including 38 citizens acquired by the incorporation of the Municipium Res Publica Canadana Romana Internationalis) and returning disappeared citizens who were not registered before this census (who failed to register on previous censuses) but who returned now hearing the call to register on the census.

II.D. At the moment of the closing of the census, Nova Roma has 15 probationary citizens who can become full right citizens in any moment, and 62 pending citizens who haven’t yet confirmed their intention to join or haven’t yet decided on their name, or who possibly still ponder joining Nova Roma, and 6 incoming applications for citizenship.

II.E. At the moment of the closing of the census, the number of all citizenship applications that the Censorial Office has ever received for Nova Roman citizenship is 17,119, out of which 10,890 are kept among the records of the Censorial Database of the Album Civium. A percentage of these 17,119 applications were repeated applications by the same applicants. There have been, according to the statistics and calculations of the Censorial Office, which are part based on hypotheses as many censorial records and decisions of policy from the first years of Nova Roma are no longer available, at least 11,169, but possibly any mount between 11,169 and 15,919) individual applicants for citizenship have been made since the founding of Nova Roma. 4,996 of all applicants have never completed their process of obtaining citizenship. 6,229 rejected or duplicate applications were deleted by the previous administrations. According to the statistical estimations of the Censorial Office, approximately 1,200 applications out of the total 17,119 ever made might have been duplicate applications: the ones which are more recent, are still kept in the archives.

Edictum censorium de filiatione civium

STATUS: In-Force
ORIGINALLY ENACTED: a.d. XII Kal. Ian. ‡ Sex. Lucilio (II) A. Tullia (II) cos. ‡ MMDCCLXXV a.u.c.
OFFICIAL POST: Forum Romanum #98965

Edictum censorium de filiatione civium

According to the tradition of our forefathers, in official statements and documents of the res publica, it is necessary for all Nova Romans that filiation (father's, praenomen) be included in their name, as a mark of citizenship and true Romanitas, reverence of parents: true Roman pietas and ancestral worship. Since the parents and ancestors of most Nova Romans have not joined Nova Roma with full citizenshio, and have not established their Roman names, most Nova Romans are currently not able to use a filiation in ceremonial and official formulas, even though, by law, the parents and ancestors of all citizens of Nova Roma are considered Nova Romans, as well, Nova Roman ethnicity without citizenship. The censors are now providing a practical and sensible solution for this problem to assist citizens to act as full Roman citizens with a complete Roman citizens's title and name.

I. Whenever the formal need arises, all Nova Roman citizens may be referred to with their full, long and complete titular citizen name with tribal and ancestral filiation: usually put between the nomen gentile and the cognomen: "son/daughter of (praenomen of the father/mother), form the (name of the tribe) tribe", in Latin: "filius/filia (praenomen of the father/mother in genitive), (name of the tribe in ablative) tribu".

A. The simple version contains only the father's praenomen and/or the tribe, e.g.: Gaius Flavius Marci filius Esquilina tribu Sabinus.

B. The longer version may contain the grandfather's praenomen, too, e.g.: , e.g. Gaius Flavius Marci filius Titi nepos Esquilina tribu Sabinus.

C. The most ceremonial and solemn version might be extended to the praenomen of the great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather, as well. Longer forms were not in use, e.g.: , e.g. Gaius Flavius Marci filius Titi nepos Publii pronepos Lucii abnepos Esquilina tribu Sabinus.

D. The mother's praenomen is used if the citizen is in the stirps and domus of his or her mother, i.e., uses the same nomen-cognomen combination as the mother, e.g. Lucia Tullia Aulae filia Scholastica Flaviana (real example from Nova Roma).

II. Citizens who want to decide by themselves the praenomen of their father, grandfather, great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather for filiation shall contact the Censorial Office and send these names for registration. Upon contact, the Censorial Office will give advise and guidance, as well. We also encourage everyone to register their parents and their entire family as citizens of Nova Roma, if it is possible, and to have them choose their own Roman praenomen: but when it is not convenient or possible, the present edict will give a solution.

III. If someone does not identify as a multi-generational Roman but wants to emphasize that he or she is first, second or third (etc.) generational New Roman, coming from a different nationality and ethnic background, those may send the real name of their fathers and ancestors to the Censorial Office for creating a formula that fits this identification. First generational Romans in ancient Rome marked the barbarian praenomen of their fathers, for example: "Gaius Iulius, son of Dumnorix, Orgetorix", in Latin: "Gaius Iulius Dumnorigis filius Orgetorix". A modern example would a name like: "Gaius Iulius, son of John, Timothy", in Latin: "Gaius Iulius Iohannis filius Timothaeus".

IV. For those citizens who have not registered the names of their ancestors up to great-great-grandfather, the censores register Roman praenomina automatically, according a system that honors both Nova Roma and Roman tradition at the same time, and which is not random but symbolically meaningful:

A. The filiatio of these citizens shall be according to praenomina of the consuls and censors of the year when they received Nova Roman citizenship:

1. Father's praenomen: the first consul's praenomen

2. Grandfather's praenomen: the second consul's praenomen

3. Great-grandfather's praenomen: the first censor's praenomen

4. Great-great-grandfather's praenomen: the first censor's praenomen

6. Special cases:

a. If in a year there was only one consul, then the praenomen of that consul shall be the grandfather's praenomen.

b. If in a year there was only one censor, then the praenomen of that censor shall be the great-great-grandfather's praenomen.

c. If there is no censor in a year, the praenomen of the first praetor shall be the great-grandfather's praenomen, and the praenomen of the second praetor shall be the great-great-grandfather's praenomen.

d. For the year when there were tribuni militum consulari potestate instead of regular magistrates, their praenomina shall be used for in order of seniority in office: the first consular tribune's praenomen shall be the father's praenomen, the second consular tribune's praenomen shall be the grandfather's etc.

e. In place of an irregular praenomen of a magistrate the praenomen "Gaius" shall be used which was considered to be the most generic praenomen by the Romans (see: "Ubi tu Gaius, ego Gaia").

f. In case of cives nobiles by ancient Roman nobilitas, in place of a praenomen that is traditionally not used in that stirps (dynasty), and it shall be replaced with a praenomen that is acceptable in that Roman dynasty. For this, the list of consules ordinarii of ancient Rome shall be used. This does not contain all praenomina used by a stirps, but it allows for a quick and simple process.

i. If there is a praenomen among the four NR magisterial praenomina selected by the regular process which cannot be found in the list of ancient Roman consules ordinarii, that praenomen shall be replaced with the praenomen of the most recent consul ordinarius prior of ancient Rome from the stirps.

ii. If there are more praenomina to replace, the next one shall be praenomen of the previous consul from that stirps (in cases when both consuls were from the same family that might be the junior colleague of the consul whose praenomen was used first). This process shall be repeated until needed.

iii. If there were not enough consules ordinarii from that stirps to produce all the praenomina needed, the process should be repeated from the beginning, and the praenomina that were already used should be re-used. If all four NR magisterial praenomina need to be replaced and there were only two consules ordinarii in ancient Rome from the stirps, then for the third filiation praenomen the first will be reused, for the fourth the second will be used; if there was only one ancient Roman consul ordinarius from the stirps, all four filiation names will be filled by that one praenomen.

B. For future citizens, when it will be deemed practical and implementable by the curator rei informaticae, the citizenship application page should offer the four praenomina of ancestors at the time of application for citizenship, with the current magistrates' praenomina set as default offerings for the newcomer if the applicants do not wish to choose themselves.

V. It shall remain possible, by petition to the Censorial Office, to change the default ancestral praenomina that were automatically assigned to the citizen by this edict.

VI. At a convenient time, the Censorial Office shall contact all citizens to encourage them to select their own self-chosen ancestral praenomina.

Edictum censorium de maximis punctibus activitatis censis (II)

I. The lex Arria de censu civium aestimando instructs the censors to issue Activity Census Points to recognize accomplishments "increasing the reputation of Nova Roma" (III.E.4). The lex cites examples which kinds of achievements may be recognized: "a publisher of a high quality website on Roman studies, an author of book, film, renown blog, high quality production, or program. This recognition shall be given to citizens whose association to Nova Roma can make Nova Roma more famous and more respected. Such recognition shall be entirely within the judgement of the censors collegiately."

II. The censors give 30 Activity Census Points to the following citizen in addition to the previous edictum in this topic:

L. Calpurnius Bestia, archaeologist, for being the author of a long series of books promoting the study of history in general and Roman history, with books like "Il trionfo di Vespasiano. Cremona 69 dc," Rome 2015; "Roma contro Roma.

Edictum censorium de moribus et operibus publicis

Edictum censorium de moribus et operibus publicis

We, the elected censors of Nova Roma, with authority granted to us by the lex Cornelia Domitia de re publica constituenda, have the duty to safeguard the public morality, virtue, honor and decency through public admonition, and to review, evaluate and set the direction of the public works, properties and finances of the state between two censuses. To fulfill our legal duties and to finalise our work as censors in this elected term, we have evaluated the public works, properties and finances of Nova Roma as part of the current census, and as part of the closing acts of the Census, we proclaim the following edict:

I. Morals.

I.A. We, the censors, are happy to find that the exercise of public Roman virtues and morals in Nova Roma underwent great positive development since the last Census. Our fellow citizens are pious, dutiful, they help each other in calamities; they are brave and heroic. There is a strong sense of comradery and benevolence in Nova Roma.

I.B. As censors, it is our responsibility to make steps to ensure that the good tendencies are maintained and increased. Nova Roma suffered incredible amount of damage and many years of setback due to some irresponsible, hot-headed, foul mouthed, aggressive debaters, some intolerant, impatient and rude citizens who did not pay attention to the patron goddess of Nova Roma, Concordia, and to our founding principle, the unity among New Romans. As we are entering the next Sacred Year of Concordia, the 25th Anniversary of the Founding of Nova Roma, closing a quarter of a century in Roman revivalism, we, the censors, empowered to regulate the morals in Nova Roma, are calling the attention of the Nova Roman Senate and People, that the corner stone and foundation of public virtues and morals of Nova Roma is Concordia, the sense of unity, agreement and concordance. Without the basic agreement that we are fellow citizens, comrades in Roman reconstruction to each other, united for one goal, there will be no progress, and, eventually, there will be no Nova Roma. The Roman virtue of concordia is completed and accompanied with several other cohesive public virtues which were always part of the morals and good manners of a well-educated Roman citizen: in one word, we can summarize it as politeness. We, the censors, determine and prescribe that politeness shall be the standard public behaviour in Nova Roma: each citizen shall publicly act in the supposition that every fellow citizen is here in good will and for the common good, the common goal. In this spirit, we are instructing the government of Nova Roma to enforce the following principles until review in the next Census:

I.B.1. Public civil discourse in all official or public forums of Nova Roma shall always be polite, respectful, amicable and good spirited. Strong disagreement is natural and healthy in the public debates of a republic, but it always shall be phrased in a respectful and kind manner in Nova Roma.

I.B.2. Stronger, especially emotionally sensitive religious, philosophical, ethical or political disagreements, whenever possible, should be discussed privately between citizens, or in private forums, within private circles. When they are discussed publicly (which should be allowed only if there is a very wide and intense public demand for their public discussion), hurtful and offensive statements shall be managed according to rigorous but fair moderation policies.

I.B.3. All activities and discussions that separate rather than unite the fellow Nova Roman citizens shall be pursued in private. Nova Roma shall provide a place for activities and discussions that facilitate cohesion and productivity, to build Nova Roma, and not to provide a place for self-serving debates and confrontation of views which do not advance the causes and mission of Nova Roma.

I.C. Government officers who will not enforce these principles, and notorious offenders of this set of rules, will face rigorous reprimands in form of censorial notae and other forms of retribution. Citizens acting in this spirit will be praised and awarded, those acting against this spirit will be chastised and punished.

II. Finances.

II.A. We, the censors, are happy to report that the original Nova Roma PayPal treasury and the official Nova Roma bank account was restored to the control of our Republic by Cn. Cornelius Lentulus. The accounts are now under the safe watch of P. Porcius Licinus, curator aerarii, and of the quaestores aerarii.

II.B. It can be reported that the total reclaimed financial reserves amounts to $11,440.21 USD, and besides this, the Nova Roman Aerarium has two subsidiary treasuries, one managed by the curator aerarii P. Porcius Licinus with approximately $1000 USD and another managed by quaestrix aerarii T. Popillia Laenas with approximately $4,000 USD.

II.C. We find the official treasuries of Nova Roma to be fiscally healthy and growing positively. There have been minimal outgoing expenditure and expenses since the last census. The only reported transactions occurring were to maintain our registered legal representative in Maine and the cost of website maintenance.

II.D. We, the censors, encourage that Nova Roma should use its accumulated treasury for meaningful expenditures and to not allow it to just sit idly, losing value and use. Nova Roma has a mission to accomplish and saved funds should be invested where we can advance our mission. We instruct the government of Nova Roma to work out policies to invest the funds of Nova Roma primarily in these areas until the the next Lustrum:

II.D.1. to support official state sacrifices, ceremonies and rituals financially which are public and for the benefit of all of Nova Roma.

II.D.2. to support the provinces to organize high quality events, and where possible, in support of reenactment. We define reenactment as the use of historically authentic Roman clothing and engaging in Roman activities, including: rituals, celebrations, military drills, gladiatorial or other theatrical-spectacular performances, banquets or even simple community moments and face-to-face meetings in historically authentic Roman clothing.

II.D.3. to support our legions and other reenactment groups who promote Nova Roma in return.

II.D.4. to establish one European and one North American central stock of ceremonial vestments, equipment and tools which magistrates, governors, priests and officers of Nova Roma can borrow and use. A similar one in Australia could eventually be established once the region has a larger number of active magistrates and priests, and a greater number of affiliated groups supporting more public events.

II.F. Our magistrates shall implement and execute these financial policies, within these conditions and observing these principles. They shall make proposals to the senate for cases when senate approval is needed.

III. Properties.

III.A. Nova Roma has a main website, a Facebook page, a main official forum through Groups.io, a public forum through the Facebook group and Discord server, and an official Twitch Channel. Nova Roma also has a number of unofficial pages and forums (for example: Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, YouTube etc.) for publicity, for special interest groups, for our legions and other reenactment groups or for provincial purposes. These unofficial pages and forums are not under our purview.

III.B. We, the censors, instruct the magistrates and the government to continue the enhancement towards unified guidelines and moderation policies in all of our forums.

III.B.1. In keeping with our points in the Morals section of this edict, the aediles and all forum managers shall continue and strengthen the policy that all online discussion platforms, remain free from internal politics (with exception for the Forum Romanum), macronational politics, and any unpleasant or poorly toned debates.

III.B.2 The government shall review and evaluate the many unofficial pages and forums of Nova Roma and integrate them into the official system wherever it is permissible and logical to do so.

III.B.3. The moderators of all forums of Nova Roma shall be integrated into the Nova Roma ceremonial military system, as public servants, because they are the equivalent of police officers in Nova Roma for online safety and security. The aediles shall employ the “cohortes vigilum,” the consular and praetorian offices shall employ the “cohortes praetoriae,” the praefectus rei publicae shall employ the “cohortes rei publicae”.

III.C. In keeping with our points in the Finances section of this edict, the magistrates, the governors and the senate of Nova Roma, shall develop the details of how to store the new authentic Roman vestments and accessories, which are public property, so that they can be easily accessible. They are to develop a financial assurance framework and system of cautions to issue and investigate those citizens who borrow them and fail to return them or pay for damaged property.

IV. Public projects and works.

IV.A. We, the censors, stipulate that the main direction of public activity, projects and works should focus on Roman living-history and Roman reenactment. Within the frame of these objectives, it is possible to conduct all activities desired by Nova Roma: festivals, rituals, ceremonies, celebrations, social meetings, educational and cultural programs and banquets. Since all ceremonial occasions of Nova Roma require Roman attire and authentic choreography, all of our public appearances fit in the category of living-history and reenactment. Another reason for this main direction is that these spectacular aspects of our public activities have the potential to be the best recruitment tool, and to become a reception of support by macronational authorities and institutions. This priority in our public works is further justified by the nature of the mission of Nova Roma which requires us to conduct Roman historical education, for which purpose living-history and reenactment have scientifically been demonstrated to be the best method. In light of this:

IV.A.1. we instruct our government, the aediles and governors in particular, that they do everything they can to make Nova Roma part of as many public Roman festivals as possible in our provinces and in Italy.

IV.A.2. we instruct the government of Nova Roma to support Roman camp, village or city building projects, which promote Nova Roma in return, with priority given to those that are managed or owned within Nova Roma itself.

IV.A.3. we instruct the government of Nova Roma to continue and expand our cooperation with Templum Project and to look for similar opportunities globally.

IV.A.4. we instruct the government of Nova Roma to develop a comprehensive Latin educational program within Nova Roma which would offer Latin education for citizens and non-citizens, and which could be used to generate revenue for Nova Roma and for employed teachers.

IV.A.5. we instruct the government of Nova Roma to support and give priority to Nova Roma media outlets, for example, to projects like our Twitch Channel. These are the best type of tool for fulfilling our mission of public education, recruitment and engaging our existing members.

IV.A.6. we instruct the government of Nova Roma to support the investment in more media attraction for Nova Roma. With the necessary financial approvals and senate oversight, the following four main audiences should be targeted with our media public service: Roman cultors, Roman reenactors, Latinists and classicists, and Roman history and archaeology enthusiasts.

IV.B. In order to achieve the status of "Rome Reborn" which Nova Roma was founded for, we need to be the best example of Roman reconstructionism in the world. With this in mind, we instruct the government of Nova Roma to make the extra effort so that all of our Roman ceremonial vestments, reconstructed garments, armor, all of our reconstructions, living-history, and reenactment programs always undergo continuous improvement with the goal to become the best in the world, which is echoed through the approval of the wider public.

Edictum censorium de curiis et gentibus

Preamble

As mandated by the lex Arria de veteribus tribubus et curiis, the censors hereby establish the order of gentes within the 30 curiae and 3 ceremonial old tribes, the Ramnes, Tities and Luceres. This institution serves the religious community life of Nova Roma, especially the practice of the Numa Tradition, the oldest and most ancient religious practices, but it also serves the boost of grassroots community activity within these sacred and most ancient frames of the curiae.

According to the law, we, the censors, could allocate only those gentes in the curia Acculeia, curia Faucia, curia Foriensis, curia Hersilia, curia Rapta, curia Tifata, curia Titia, curia Veliensis, curia Velitia which were originally founded during the Roman Kingdom. As mandated by the law, we had to place the gentes of Latin origin into the Tribus Ramnensis (where the members are denominated as "Ramnes"), the gentes of Sabine origin into the Tribus Titiensis ("Tities"), and the gentes of Etruscan origin into the Tribus Lucerensis ("Luceres"). Gentes of other origin, or dubious or uncertain origin had to be placed into the ceremonial tribes according to the date of their founding in Nova Roma: those in the first year of Nova Roma (1998-03-01 - 1999-02-28) had to be placed among the Ramnes, those founded until the Completion of the Founding of Nova Roma (1999-03-01 - 2017-10-15) among the Tities, and those who came afterwards (2017-10-16 - ...), among the Luceres.

The final result is based on academic works in the subject, but it is not considered final and irreversible, but rearrangements of gentes into other curiae may be expected in the coming years as we conduct more research and refine our knowledge.

We, the censors, would like to give thanks for the enormous work and research made by our scriba primicerius Cn. Cornelius Lentulus, member of the Onomastic Office, and to quaestor T. Popillia Laenas, for helping in the research and categorization of all the current, existing gentes of Nova Roma.

I. Status of gentes

Only "gens censa", an "active gens" which currently has cives censi (census registered active citizens) can be a member of the curiae. A gens which does no longer have cives censi in Nova Roma is termed as a "disappeared gens" or "gens incensa." If the youngest person (a disappeared citizen) in a disappeared gens would be 100 year old according to his or her NR ID data, the gens shall be declared an "extinct gens", and any new person taking the same nomen gentile will be regarded as the new founder of another, new re-embodiment of the gens, with a new administrative date of founding.

II. The date of the founding and the founder of a gens within Nova Roma

A. The censors define that the administrative date of the founding of a gens in Nova Roma is the date of the registration of citizenship of the earliest member of the gens.

B. If an existing citizen changes his or her gens, not by adoption, but by administrative name changing process, any connection to his or her original gens is eliminated, and all records shall show only the new gens, and the citizen has to be regarded as if he or she had always been the member of the new gens. This type of name change is classified as "name correction", not a real name change, and it is done on the assumption that the new gens was always the one that the citizen intended, but he or she made a mistaken decision at the time of the application for citizenship.

1. When this name change gives a new gentilis (gens-member) to the gens who is an earlier citizen than the founder of the gens, the founder shall keep the right to be regarded as the founder of the gens, but the founding date of the gens will be re-dated to the date of citizenship of the new gentilis who is an earlier citizen than the founder of the gens.

a. The founder of a Nova Roman gens is defined as the first citizen historically who registered that gens within Nova Roma.

b. When the founder is unknown and cannot be investigated, the actually earliest member of the gens will be regarded as the founder of the gens (subject to change, as described in I.B.2). If this person is no longer an active citizen of Nova Roma, then the gens is considered no longer to have a founder alive or active, and privileges granted to the founder are taken up by the collective of the patres familiarum of the gentes who can exercise their privileges by vote.

2. The founder of the gens shall have the power to decide the ceremonial founding anniversary of the gens which can be used to celebrate the existence of the gens in Nova Roma. This date, by default, is always the date of citizenship of the earliest member of the gens, and is subject to change if an earlier citizen becomes part of the gens through name correction process.

3. The founder of the gens shall have the right to petition the Censorial Office to change the administrative founding date of the gens in Nova Roma. The request will be judged on a case by case basis by the Censorial Office.

III. Addition of new gentes to the curiae

It shall be the duty of the Officium Onomasticum of the Censorial Office to investigate the historical origin of each new gens registered in Nova Roma, and to allocate them into one of the curiae, according to the rules of the lex Arria de veteribus tribubus et curiis. Each new gens shall be added to a curia within a year of its inclusion to Nova Roma, and it shall be approved by the Comitia Curiata.

IV. Addition of returning old gentes to the curiae

A. Those old disappeared gentes of Nova Roma which are not part of the current curiate arrangement, upon return, shall be added to the curiae by the Censorial Office, and it shall also be approved by the Comitia Curiata.

B. If a current active gens becomes disappeared, but later returns, it shall be automatically returned to the same curia where it was, without any ceremonies or any approval by the Comitia Curiata. Steps of approval and involvement of the Comitia Curiata is only necessary if the returning gens would be allocated to a different curia than where it was originally.

C. Extinct gentes, upon revival, shall be treated as new gentes.

V. Curiate approval for the composition of the three ceremonial tribes and thirty curiae

This and any subsequent arrangement of the gentes into curiae and tribes shall be approved by the Comitia Curiata.

A. The Censorial Office shall maintain a list of new gentes and a list of returning disappeared gentes, and shall periodically communicate it to the Collegium Pontificum and to the curio maximus.

B. It is recommended that new gentes and returning disappeared gentes be approved in batches, periodically, not one by one, because it would result in too frequent session of the Comitia Curiata. The Comitia Curiata should be convened to approve the inclusion of new gentes at least once or twice every year.

VI. Primordial Nova Roman distribution of the gentes censae into the three ceremonial old tribes and curiae

We, the censors of Nova Roma, Q. Arrius Nauta and P. Annaeus Constantinus Placidus, in the 25th year of Nova Roma, 5 years after the Completion of the Founding of the Nova Roman People, preparing for our 25th Anniversary, as part of the last touches of the ceremonial and ritual founding of the Nova Roman People, proclaim the following distribution of the currently existing gentes of Nova Roma among the ceremonial old tribes, the Ramnes, Tities, Luceres, and among the thirty curiae, and we instruct the Officium Rei Informaticae of Nova Roma, with the involvement and supervision of the Collegium Pontificum, to facilitate its technological aspects and arrange the election of our first curiones, the curio maximus, the appointment of the flamines curiales and the new lictores curiati:

EDICTUM CENSORIUM DE LEGIBUS CENSUI CENSENDO

I. We, Q. Arrius Nauta and P. Annaeus Constantinus Placidus, censores of the Nova Roman People of Quirites, by this edict, decree the official inception of the census of the Nova Roman citizens.

II. The census opening sacrifices auspices have been made by pontifex Cn. Lentulus in the name of both censors, and now they are announced to the Nova Roman people that they were favorable.

III. We, Q. Arrius Nauta and P. Annaeus Constantinus Placidus, censores appoint Cn. Cornelius Lentulus and C. Sempronius Scepsis Agricola as praecones for the census.

IV. According to the mos majorum, reviving and observing the ancient formulae of our Roman forefathers, I, censor Q. Arrius Nauta, upon receiving the favorable auspices, give the following order to the praeco Cn. Cornelius Lentulus:

“Quod bonum, fortunatum, felix salutareque siet renascenti populo Romano Quiritibus populoque Novo Romano Quiritibus reique publicae populi Novi Romani Quiritium mihique collegaeque meo, fidei magistratuique nostro: Omnes Quirites, pedites armatos privatosque, curatores omnium tribuum, si quis pro se sive pro altero rationem dari volet, voca inlicium huc ad me."

(“May this be good, fortunate, happy, and salutary to the renascent Roman people, the Quirites, to the Nova Roman people of the Quirites, and to the republic of the Nova Roman people of the Quirites, and to me and my colleague, to our honesty and our office: Call hither to me to assemble all the Quirites, armed and private citizens, the spokesmen of all the tribes, in case anyone for himself or for another wishes a reckoning to be given.")

V. The census of the Nova Roman People shall follow the procedures mandated by the lex Lucilia de censu.

V.A. The citizens’ registration period of the census shall be open from today a.d. III Kal. Iun. ‡ Sex. Lucilio (II) A. Tullia (II) cos. (30 May, 2022) until the Kalends of September (1 September). The census will be concluded by the lustrum of the Nova Roman People.

V.B. The method of registration:

VI.B.1. Citizens who wish to register in this census online shall send an email, no later than 1 September, to the Census Office at the following address:

novaromacensus@gmail.com

and shall state any change in their contact information since 2019-2020 (when the last census was held).

VI.B.2. The following individuals are automatically registered on the census, and they do not have to send an email to the Census Office:

VI.B.2.a. Citizens who obtained citizenship after a.d. XIII Kal. Ian. Q. Arrio (II) T. Domitio (III) cos. (December 20, 2020).

VI.B.2.c. Magistrates of the current calendar year and any current officers or priests of Nova Roma, excepting senators.

VI.B.3. If a citizen knows of an extended period of unavailability that will coincide with the census, the citizen can entrust a personal representative to register him or her on the census. The personal representative can be anyone the citizen selects, but this representative must produce evidence (for example an email) of being chosen as a citizen's representative for the census.

VII. Failure to register on the census is considered a dereliction of the one and only obligatory civic duty, and it involves all census points and civic rights in Nova Roma. Citizens who fail to register on the census will formally retain their citizenship or the type of their allied status, but their rights will be suspended. It will be possible for such citizens to register themselves later, between two censuses, at which time their rights will be reinstated, but their census points will be restored only partially and gradually.

VIII. Instructions to officers of Nova Roma

VIII.A. We mandate the censorial praecones to advertise the census and the method of registration across all websites and forums of Nova Roma. They shall contact all citizens of Nova Roma, assisted infrastructurally by the Officium Rei Informaticae, with the call to registration on the census via email at least once.

VIII.B. We instruct all governors to repeat the announcements on the provincial level and to contact all provincial citizens by e-mail, traditional postal mail, or by telephone, regardless of any other contact from the central Census Office. Provincial governors can register those provincial citizens in their name on the census who answered their census call. In all procedures and matters of the census, the governors shall obey the orders of the censors.

IX. This edict is effective immediately.

Edictum censorium de Officio Censorio

I. With this edict, I rescind all of the previous censorial edicts still in force, which action removes all apparitores of the Censorial Office. This edict determines the apparitores who will remain in office, or will be appointed, and the regulations that will apply to the Censorial Office of censors Q. Arrius and P. Annaeus. I hereby establish the following departments of the Censorial Office:

A. The Census Office (Officium Censuale), under the direction of the sciba magister census during a census period, and under the direction of the chief scribe of the Censorial Office between censuses. Officers assigned to the Census Office will be in charge of administering the census in a census period, and, between censuses, the to maintain the Album Civium and the Album Equitum, the membership of the tribes and curiae, classes and centuries, the equestrian order, the treasury tribunes and all tasks normally related to the census, according to the laws that regulate these powers and duties, and in accordance with the higher officers.

1. All tribes, centuries and classes shall be updated during census under the guidance of the censors. Besides the census, centuries and classes of the citizens and shall be updated during each comitia centuriata, before the commencement of voting; the same rule applies to the tribes, but only if the comitia that are convened are one of the tribal comitia. When there are no censors in office, updating all tribes, centuries and classes shall be done under the guidance of the praefectus rei publicae administrandae.

2. The updated lists of centuries and classes shall be published on the website.

3. Registration as assiduus, tribunus aerarius equestris and eques equo privato shall be done continuously and progressively, in cooperation with the Officium Rei Informaticae, as the tax payments arrive. When the tables of tribes and centuries are published, the current list of assidui, tribuni aerarii equestres and equites equo privato shal always be updated, as well, therefore those occasions serve as fix deadlines for the updating of the list of assidui, tribuni aerarii equestres, and equites equo privato as they currently stand. The lists of assidui, tribuni aerarii equestres and equites equo privato shall also be published at the end of the the tax payment period, as well.

4. For a clear terminology in this edict and in the legal system of Nova Roma, the "tax period" of Nova Roma shall be defined as consisting of a "tax payment period", a "tax payment grace period", and a "tax payment penalty period", according to these intervals:

a. The first part of the calendar year belongs to the previous tax period as its extension, and it is called "tax payment penalty period", which lasts until the day which the senate designates as the first day of the new tax payment period. This period closes the previous tax period of Nova Roma. More on this period at I.A.4.d.

b. The next part of the year is the "tax payment period", which opens a new tax period of Nova Roma, and lasts until the day which was set as the deadline for submitting taxes. Taxes can be paid in a reduced amount during this period.

c. The third part of the year is the first extension to the new tax period for late payers, the "tax payment grace period". Taxes must be paid in an increased amount during this period, but paying during this period does not cause any loss of offices or titles.

d. The last part of the year is the second extension to the new tax period for late payers, the "tax payment penalty period", which spans to the first part of the next calendar year. Taxes must be paid in an increased amount during this period. Citizens who pay in this period has already been stripped of their status, offices and titles, but by making the late payment they can restore some of those, as specified by law. This period closes any current tax period of Nova Roma.

5. The status of an assiduus, tribunus aerarius equestris or eques equo privato, obtained during the last tax period, remains until the last day of the tax payment grace period of the current tax period. From that day on, the status is lost. A new status of assiduus, tribunus aerarius equestris or eques equo privato, obtained during the current tax payment period, shall be updated when the payment is made if the status is higher than the one inherited from the previous tax payment period, but it shall be updated only after the last day of tax payment period, if it is a lower status than the previous.

6. By this same edict and regulation, I also confirm and approve the decision of the curator rei informaticae, in his Edictum curatoris rei informaticae de ratificatione legis Arriae de censu civium aestimando, regarding the method of calculating partial census points. The current technological circumstances make it impossible to count partial census points the way it is prescribed in the lex, therefore the one quarter of the Past Service Points as an extra addition to all officers who served only a partial term of office will not be assigned temporarily, and points will also be given for more than one subordinate office appointed by the same magistrate, and not only for the highest one. This is a censorial decision made according to II.D of the lex Arria de censu civium aestimando, answering a doubt regarding the "functioning and mechanisms of the Census Point system", providing a temporary solution for a temporary problem.

B. The Citizenship Registry Office (Officium Petitionum Civitatis), under the direction of the chief scribe of the Censorial Office. Officers assigned to the Citizenship Registry Office will be in charge of administering the citizenship applications.

C. The Onomastic Office (Officium Onomasticum), also referred to as the "Triage", a long standing tradition started by censor Cn. Equitius Marinus Censorius, under the direction of the scriba primarius Officii Onomastici.

1. Officers assigned to the Onomastic Office shall be selected from among Roman onomastic experts, Latinists or otherwise qualified by their studies, and shall work as expert and professional advisers to the censors and the directors of the Censorial Office regarding the applicability of Roman names.

2. The decision of the Officium Onomasticum is made by a vote of its members, and can only be overturned by the censors, or by the praefectus rei publicae administrandae when there are no censors in office.

D. The Office of Public Works (Officium Operum Publicorum), under the direction of the aediles. Besides the censors and the aediles, any censorial or aedilician apparitors can be added by the censors and the aediles. The mission of this office is to review, evaluate and set the direction of the public works, properties in cooperation with the aediles.

II. Appointments and dismissals

A. By honorable discharge, and with much praise and thanks for his invaluable service, I hereby relieve Ap. Curius Rullus from his office as scriba censorius.

B. I hereby appoint C. Sempronius Scepsis Agricola as scriba censorius (scriba censoris Q. Arri Nautae) to serve in the Officium Censorium in any works that will be assigned to him, but particularly in processing citizenship applications (member of the Officium Petitionum Civitatis), and to administer the census and citizen status updates (member of the Officium Censuale).

C. Scriba censoria A. Tullia Scholastica is renewed and she is hereby appointed scriba primaria Officii Onomastici, and Cn. Cornelius Lentulus as scriba to the Officium Onomasticum, the Officium Operum Publicorum, both scribae censorii as scribae censorum Q. Arri Nautae et P. Annaei Constantini Placidi.

Edictum consulare de comitiis tributis convocandis

I. The Nova Roman People is hereby called to attend the Comitia Populi Tributa in the electronic main forum of Nova Roma, according to emergency procedure, described in lex Tullia de comitiis habendis.

II. Justification for the emergency session: The comitia is conducted according to emergency process as described by the lex Tullia. Due to our timing mistake, the consuls are in great delay with holding the election of quaestors.We still have time for the other magistrates but quaestors take office on December 5. Because quaestorship is not very high decision maker. There is not so much political race for it, I decided that we hold the quaestor election now separate in form of emergency session so we can work down the delay.And we will have more time for normal slow election process of higher magistrates. For this goal I convene now emergency shortened Comitia Tributa according to the emergency procedure which leaves the length of time for the consul to decide, can be just few hours too, and we will hold the election of quaestor according to emergency process after the contio.

Auspices have been taken in my name by pontifex Cn. Cornelius Lentulus in my name upon the standing authorization of augur C. Claudius Quadratus with respect to these elections and legislation and were favorable.

B. LEGISLATION

ROGATIO LUCILIA DE CENSU

The lustrum and the accompanying census was the cyclic renewal of the ancient Roman people, spiritually and materially. The Nova Roman people enacts the following law to regulate this vital and most Roman institution in Nova Roma according to the current needs of the republic, rescinding the lex Fabia de censu.

I. Conducting the census

A. The census of the Nova Roman People shall last for at least three months. The start and end of the census period shall be announced by the censors on the website and all official and public forums of Nova Roma. Once announced, the provincial governors shall publish the same announcements on all of their provincial websites and forums.

B. The census shall consist of the following: (1) the re-registration of all existing citizens, (2) classification and evaluation of citizens, and (3) the ceremony of lustrum

II. Definitions

A. Citizens who register themselves on the census are called cives censi (registered citizens, i.e. citizens registered on the actual census):

1. The following individuals are automatically registered for the census:

a. Citizens who obtained citizenship after the conclusion of the last census.

b. Citizens who have paid taxes for the current calendar year.

c. Magistrates of the current calendar year and any current officers or priests of Nova Roma, excepting senators.

2. All other individuals have to register for the census personally or by an official or by a personal representative:

a. Official representatives can ex officio assess the availability, responsiveness and attendance of a citizen regarding the census, and they can ex officio report the registration of a citizen. The following persons qualify as an official representative: the pater familias (or mater familias) of the individual, the provincial governor of the individual, or an officer of the Censorial Office.

b. Personal representatives are personally entrusted by the citizens. If a citizen knows of an extended period of unavailability that will coincide with the census, the citizen can entrust a personal representative to register him or her on the census: this type of personal representative is distinct from the official representative at II.A.2.a. The personal representative can be anyone the citizen selects, but this type of representative must produce evidence (for example an email) of being chosen as a citizen's representative for the census.

B. Citizens who fail to register for the census are called cives incensi (unregistered citizens, disappeared citizens). Failure to register on the census is considered a dereliction of the one and only obligatory civic duty, and it involves loss of certain rights and other consequences.

1. If a citizen fails to respond to the contact attempts within the defined period of the census, that person will be classified as a "civis incensus" (unregistered/disappeared citizen). They will formally retain their type of citizenship (civitas optimo iure, civitas sine suffragio, civitas Latina) or the type of their allied status (socius or amicus), but their exercise of the rights attendant thereto will be suspended, and they will not be counted among the active citizens or allies. Disappeared citizens may not exercise any of their rights in Nova Roma until they register themselves at the Censorial Office.

2. It shall be possible for disappeared citizens to register themselves between two censuses, at which time their rights shall be reinstated immediately, but this act will not constitute a "registration on the census", but only an extraordinary reinstatement to civic rights.

III. Registration of all existing citizens

A. At the beginning of the census, the censors shall publish their edictum de legibus censui censendo in which they set the all and any rules for the current census, deadlines and mechanisms of registration.

B. After the edictum is published, the censors shall advertise the census across all websites and forums of Nova Roma. They shall contact all citizens of Nova Roma with the call to registration on the census via email at least once.

C. The censors shall instruct the governors to repeat the announcements on the provincial level and to contact all provincial citizens by e-mail, traditional postal mail, or by telephone, regardless of any other contact from the central Census Office. Provincial governors can register those provincial citizens in their name on the census who answered their census call. In all procedures and matters of the census, the governors shall obey the orders of the censors.

D. All communicated information pertaining to the census (changes of home address, telephone number, e-mail address etc.) shall be updated and noted in the Censorial Database of the Album Civium.

E. Registration of allies

At the time of the census of Nova Roman citizens, the census of the cives Latini, socii and friends of Nova Roma shall also be conducted.

1. The censors shall contact the leaders of those communities where such associate citizens and partners of Nova Roma are registered and ask the leaders of those communities to report about the actual roll of members.

2. In case of those Latin or allied citizens, friends and allies who do not belong to a community which integrated into Nova Roma, the censors shall contact them individually, as part of the general process of the census of Nova Roman citizens.

F. Failure to register on the census will lead to the consequences discussed under II.B.

IV. Classification and evaluation of all citizens

As part of the census, the censors shall classify the citizens distributing them across the classes, they shall arrange the tribes, shall perform the recognitio et probatio equitum (the revision of the membership of the official, public Equestrian Order) and the lectio senatus (the revision of the membership of the senate), and shall publicly praise and reprimand citizens and current customs according to their function as guardians of public morals, good traditions and Roman virtues. Censorial awards shall be distributed at this time.

V. Lustrum

Upon the conclusion of the registration of the citizens, the recognitio equitum and the lectio senatus, the censors shall perform the lustrum to purify the Nova Roman people and Nova Roma. Only after the performance of the lustrum is the census completed.

Edictum praetorium de revisione apparitorum et praesidum provinciarum

As praetor, through this edict, I declare the following interpretations on the lex Vedia apparitoria and the senatus consultum de relatione provinciali requirenda. This edict has been made in consultation with stakeholders and the legislation authors to ensure the correct interpretation as intended.

In accordance with article I.B of the Lex Cornelia Domitia de re publica constituenda, interpretation of law and the legality and validity of a disputed law or action shall be in the power of the praetors in the first instance as part of their primary duties. Those edicta issued by magistrates for the purpose of documenting these interpretations do not change or alter the text of the legislation, but they offer clarification to the way they are interpreted within the confines of the legislation in question. Such edicta are appended as notes to any affected legislation. With the authority under the constitution, I declare the following:

I. The following interpretations are declared with respect to the lex Vedia apparitoria:

I.A. Acknowledging the spirit of the law in the lex Vedia apparitoria, the reference to a "resignation" of an apparitor is meant to be a resignation against the will of the relevant magistrate who is the superior of the apparitor. If the resignation happens with the agreement and approval of the superior, the magistrate is free to issue an edict to clarify this and to publish an evaluation of the apparitor, intended in accordance with article XII.A.4. The evaluation can be any of the eligible marks, ("UNSATISFACTORY", "ADEQUATE" or "EXCELLENT").

I.B. It is recognized that apparitores might resign out of protest against a negligent or harmful magistrate, in which case their resignation is laudable. Their resignation can be helpful in spreading the sense of responsibility among magistrates and apparitores, the very intent of the lex Vedia apparitoria as modified by the lex Arria de decuriis apparitorum. In the light of this, this edictum specifies that such responsible resignations which enhance the function of the lex Vedia apparitoria do not count as resignations according to article XII.A.3 the lex Vedia apparitoria, but as completed terms. Such resigned apparitores shall be evaluated by any of the collegae of the magistrate who was the superior of the resigned apparitor. In case there is no such magistrate willing, the praefectus rei publicae administrandae may issue the edictum with the evaluation. If no eligible magistrate agrees to evaluate such a resigned apparitor, then it is considered a consensus that the resigned apparitor is not eligible for an evaluation, and in this case the resigned apparitor shall receive the mark of "NO REVIEW", as is indicated by the lex Vedia.

I.C. An apparitor, once appointed, remains permanently as staff in the appointed decuria. The appointment does not necessarily end with the conclusion of the term of office of the original appointing magistrate. Edicta that appoint apparitores remain valid, even after a magistrate has left office, in accordance with the lex Arria de edictis. The term of an apparitor only ends from a resignation (as discussed above) or if the first edict of a new relevant magistrate (that would oversee the decuria) does not renew the original appointment edicta. If successive magistrates renew the relevant edicta of their predecessors, then an apparitor can continue to serve successive magistrates each year in that decuria.

II. There has been ambiguity among governors as to the minimum statistical data requirements requested in the senatus consultum de relatione provinciali requirenda. With this edict, it is clarified that the expression "monthly average number of messages" shall be understood to mean only one number, being the average, generated from the applicable monthly data. For example, if there were 10 messages in six months, and 20 messages in the other six months of the year to be reported, the average number of messages per month should be reported as 15. The same interpretation shall be applied about the "average number of Nova Roman citizens posting per month".

Praetorial edict for the change of laws in 2774

I. In accordance with article I of the Lex Cornelia Domitia de re publica constituenda, the primary duty of the praetors is to cast decisions and interpretation on leges when there is an issue with the validity or interpretation of a law, or part thereof. Exercising iurisdictio, the following decisions are made for the various affected leges that came into force in Q. Arrio (III) A. Tullia cos. or earlier. Subject to intervention of those with the iurisdictio, the following decisions will be published as necessary as commentary on the affected official leges.

II. With the approval of the Lex Arria de decuriis apparitorum, article I of the Lex Arminia de ministris tribunorum, is now in conflict. In line with the legislation of article I of the Lex Cornelia Domitia de re publica constituenda, the most recent lex takes precedence. By this edict, a praetorian comment is to be placed referencing article I of the Lex Arminia acknowledging the impact associated with the now updated Lex Vedia apparitoria. The following comment is to be placed against article I in the Lex Arminia:

“Article I is no longer considered valid, with precedence given to the modifications introduced by the Lex Arria de decuriis apparitorum. Other titles other than viator are now permissible under the Lex Vedia apparitoria.”

III. An accompanying praetorian comment should also be lodged with article V of the now modified Lex Vedia apparitoria, which enforces that all appointees to a Decuriae viatorum are of the Plebeian class, in accordance with the Lex Arminia.

IV. Article III.A. of the Lex Arria Tullia de quibusdam legibus obsoletis abrogandis corrigundisve states required changes to sections III.A.3-4 of the Lex Arria de censu civium aestimando. However, the new lex still publishes new additional text under III.A.2. for the lex Arria. By this edict, article III.A.2. from the lex Arria Tullia will also replace the III.A.2. of the lex Arria de censu civium aestimando.

V. The published version of the lex Minucia de eiuratione magistratuum has found to be misrepresenting the true final form of the comitia approved lex.

A. The publication of this law has contained, for a decade, a variant text for this very same lex which was in fact just a non-final draft of the rogatio, never to be accepted by vote. This draft version was published as the primary text, and the real, accepted text was only given as the second text on this page. The final version of the lex Minucia as accepted by the comitia tributa only addressed the magistrates elected by the comitia tributa, because in those years a strict interpretation of the Constitution prevailed according to which a lex accepted by the comitia tributa may regulate magistrates elected by that comitia, and a lex accepted by the comitia centuriata may regulate only the centuriate magistrates. Consul Minucia Strabo presented first only one rogatio which discussed both the tribal and the centuriate magistrates' resignations in one law. She later corrected it and divided the proposal into two rogationes, one about the tribal magistrates' resignations, to be passed by the tribal comitia, and another about the centuriate magistrates, to be passed by the centuriate comitia. The tribal one passed, the centuriate law failed. Editors of the tabularium of the day, for an unknown reason, decided to put the original, unified law which discussed the resignations of both types of magistrates in one law as the primary text of this lex, but it was not correct, and it was never a law. B. Before any modifications are implemented by the lex Arria Tullia de quibusdam legibus obsoletis abrogandis corrigundisve, the following changes are to be made. By this edict, the unofficial draft text is to be removed from the published lex Minucia and the valid version of the lex Minucia, as accepted by the comitia, is to be published. This is verified through records in the Forum Romanum and attestations of the Curator rei informaticae. Commentary from this edict should be published accordingly with the lex.

VI. The lex Arria Tullia de quibusdam legibus obsoletis abrogandis corrigundisve contains an instruction to change the preamble of the lex Minucia de eiuratione magistratuum. The new text, as voted on and accepted by the comitia, is perceived to have been corrupted or otherwise contains editorial errors. The new preamble of the lex Arria Tullia would have been an exact sentence, unchanged, from the previous version of the preamble, in a form that was contradictory to the other changes in this lex. By this edict, section V.A. of the lex Arria Tullia de quibusdam legibus obsoletis abrogandis corrigundisve is not implementable, and is disregarded when considering the modifications of the lex Arria Tullia to the lex Minucia.

VII. The lex Octavia de sermone references the now defunct Yahoo groups list. By this edict, a praetorian comment is to be lodged against article IV.A. It is to specify for clarity, as follows:

“The previous Yahoo group list mentioned is now defunct. The current general discussion mailing list is currently https://groups.io/g/TheForumRomanum.”

VIII. The lex Galeria de privatis rebus references the now defunct position of the magister aranearius. This office has now merged with the current curator rei informaticae. By this edict, a praetorian comment is to specify that the instance of “magister aranearius” is to be understood to be the “curator rei informaticae”.

EDICTUM AEDILICIUM DE MERCATU NOVO ROMANO

With this edict, I establish a temporary system for the marketplace of Nova Roma, market rules and registered merchants, according the authorization by the lex Cornelia Domitia de re publica constituenda.

I. The websites and forums of Nova Roma are open for marketing and advertisement only to officially registered merchants of Nova Roma.

II. Officially registered merchants are recognized by collective decision of the four aediles. The following vendors can receive this status:

A. Nova Roman assiduus citizens and Latin citizens of Nova Roma: for an annual business tax the amount of which they decide voluntarily, and for at least a 5% discount price for their products for Nova Roman and Latin citizens of Nova Roma. The annual business tax shall be paid in addition to the regular citizen tax. The minimum amount of annual business tax for Latin citizens shall be any amount that is higher than the regular citizen tax.

B. Peregrini, non-citizens Nova Roma: for an annual business tax the amount of which shall be a donation as agreed with the aediles on an individual basis, but that donation may not be lower than thrice the amount of the annual citizen tax (they can donate more if they wish), and for at least a 5% discount price for their products for citizens of Nova Roma. After their agreement about business with Nova Roma, such peregrini receive the allied or friend status, socius or amicus status.

III. Registered vendors are required to mention Nova Roma in their official websites and inform the buyers about the discount price for Nova Roman and Latin citizens of Nova Roma.

IV. The annual business tax shall be paid to the treasure until the deadline of general citizen taxes.

V. Official merchants will be given place on the websites and forums of Nova Roma. The frequency of their advertisements on the forums of Nova Roma may be limited according to common sense and people's reactions.

A. Guaranteed minimum frequency for posting advertisements is once per week in Facebook, once per month in other forums of Nova Roma, but in certain cases (extra discount sales campaign, etc, popular sellers etc) exceptions will be acceptable, depending on agreement with the aediles. Nova Roma also guarantees that advertisements will be announced by our official media channels on a case-by-case basis, but every registered merchant may demand at least three advertisement by all public channels of Nova Roma in a calendar year. At least one page on the official website of Nova Roma is also guaranteed.

B. Regarding advertising posts in our forums, vendors are advised to observe the people's reaction and if there are complaints about the frequency of an advertisement, to decrease it. The aediles will follow the people's wish and will apply restriction on the frequency of the posting of advertisements if it causes discontent. For the time being, there will be no written regulations on limitations of the frequency of advertisements, but the aediles will decide on the basis of the citizens' feedback. The guaranteed frequency in paragraph V.A will always be allowed. The regulations will be more detailed, if needed, as we observe how the system works in practice.

VI. Those wanting to obtain the status of registered merchant shall provide the following information to the aediles:

- Roman name

- Macronational name

- Name of business (if any, i.e. corporate or trademarked name), and the date of its founding or starting of operation

- City, region, country in which business will be primarily conducted

- Websites of your business

- Summary of nature of business

- Description of products and/or services offered (attach extra sheets if necessary), including if possible estimated pricing structure, and relevance, if any to the culture of Rome between or to Nova Roma.

- Percent of permanent discount for Nova Roman citizens. Minimum is 5%, but you are free to choose a higher discount.

- Minimum amount of one time annual business tax (donation) that you are willing to contribute to the Nova Roman treasury. The amount later can be actually higher if you have a successful year and you are happy to donate more, but you should pledge a minimum and you must pay at least that much. This "tax" is an annual donation that you should send at the time of paying your regular citizen tax. The amount is not determined by Nova Roma, it is based on honor system, and you should decide it on the basis on how much you think it is worth for you. The aediles will judge your offer an on individual base.

- Are you willing to provide documentation, including but not limited to, copies of macronational tax reports/returns and account ledgers relevant to the subject business, upon request of the Senate, or a magistrate of Nova Roma? If not, you have to send a report, based on honor system, at least about how many Nova Roman citizens bought from, and how much they have spent in your business, for our statistics.

VII. Effective immediately, it is intended as a temporary regulation until a wider consensus is reached about commerce within Nova Roma. All previous regulations regarding merchants and the marketplace are hereby rescinded.

In clarification of the lex Fabia de oppidis municipiisque, members of a municipality of Nova Roma, whether it be of civitas Nova Romana optimo iure, civitas Nova Romana sine suffragio, civitas Latina, or of socius and amicus status, have the right of iura publica within their municipality according to the degree of citizenship they have: cives optimo iure may have local iura publica in all types of municipalities; cives sine suffragio may have iura publica in all types of municipalities except in a civitas Nova Romana optimo iure; cives Latini may exercise iura publica only in municipalities of the Latin or allied status; socii or amici may exercise iura publica in the community of allied status where they belong.

VI. The Censorial Office shall have the unconditional right to waive the requirement of probationary period and citizenship test for any applicant of citizenship.

+With the completion of census registrations and the celebrations of the ceremonies of the Lustrum, we, the censores, Q. Arrius Nauta and P. Annaeus Constantinus Placidus, hereby officially edict, declare, proclaim and announce the Census of the Nova Roman People of the Quirites and the Nova Roman Republic completed and closed. The Nova Roman People, all of our citizens who registered on the census, have been ritually purified and lustrated and renewed for a new period in this 25th year of Nova Roma, and propitious blessings from the gods immortal of the Roman people are now being received for the lives of our citizens and for new works in our mission to restore the Roman nation, state and culture. This edict contains the "Relatio Census Sex. Lucilio Tutore II et A. Tullia Scholastica II consulibus" (Census 2022 Report) which reports the census period that started on a.d. III Kal. Iun. Sex. Lucilio II A. Tullia II cos. (30 May, 2022) and was completed on Id. Oct. Sex. Lucilio II A. Tullia II cos.  (15 October, 2022).
+'''Census 2022 Report by Censores Q. Arrius Nauta and P. Annaeus Constantinus Placidus'''
+The current census was completed and managed by the Officium Censuale (Census Office), directed by the scriba magister census, praeco ad censum, Cn. Cornelius Lentulus, quaestor.

The following is the detailed Report of the Census Sex. Lucilio Tutore II A. Tullia Scholastica II consulibus:
+'''I. Summary and Introduction'''
+The censors conducted a census of all citizens of Nova Roma from a.d. III Kal. Iun. Sex. Lucilio II A. Tullia II cos. (30 May, 2022), opening the census with the EDICTVM CENSORIVM DE LEGIBVS CENSVI CENSENDO. That edict contained the legal basis and regulation for the current census. This present edict contains some more regulations that were not previously proclaimed.

Popillia Laenas; scriba programmator situs internetualis of the Officium Rei Informaticae C. Amatius Structus; and praeco ad censum and scriba censorius C. Sempronius Scepsis Agricola. We thank all governors who assisted in the process and effectively promoted the census in their provinces.
+:I.B. General information about the census
+::I.B.1. The last complete census, officially called the Census Q. Arrio P. Annaeo cos. MMDCCLXXII (2019), was held for a longer, interrupted period, between a.d. V Id. Mar. Q. Arrio P. Annaeo cos. – a.d. XIII Kal. Ian. Q. Arrio II T. Domitio III cos. (11 March 2019 – 20 December 2020), with the lustrum being conducted, and thus the census completely closed on prid. Kal. Ian. Q. Arrio II T. Domitio III cos. (31 December 2020).
+::I.B.2. The current lustrum was performed on the last day of the census, on Id. Oct. Sex. Lucilio II A. Tullia II cos. (15 October, 2022), in Roman forum of Aquincum, by censor Q. Arrius Nauta, assisted by two pontifices Cn. Cornelius Lentulus and C. Petronius Stephanus Turpilianus, and one flamen, M. Aurelius Cotta Iovius, and was attended and praetor C. Cornelius Barosus, the same M. Aurelius Cotta Iovius as aedilis curulis, the same Cn. Cornelius Lentulus as quaestor, T. Popilliae Laenas as quaestor, the same C. Petronius Stephanus Turpilianus as tribunus plebis, Ti. Caecilia Sabina as tribuna plebis, A. Fabricius Pardalas as tribuna plebis. The ceremonies were instructed by pontifex Cn. Cornelius Lentulus.
+::I.B.3. The census was closed both by the registrations deadline and the lustrum, having been held that same day, on Id. Oct. Sex. Lucilio II A. Tullia II cos. (15 October, 2022). By censorial administrative order, late registrations were accepted until the Nones of December (5 December) from old citizens, and arriving new citizens of Nova Roma were included until the Ides of December (13 December).
+'''II. The results of the Census'''
+:II.A. The results of the census of the Nova Roman People is the following: at the moment of the closing of the census, there are 739 citizens registered in the census, and we have 5,832 Nova Roman citizens of different legal statuses in total. The number of people who have ever been citizens of Nova Roma, together with those who passed away or renounced their citizenship, is 6,173 according to the present statistics and calculations of the Censorial Office.
+:II.B. Before the start of the census, there were 1,107 active cives censi (census registered citizens), accumulating since the last completed census in Q. Arrio II T. Domitio III cos. (2020).
+:II.C. The total number of Nova Roman citizens (census registered, active citizens, and unregistered, disappeared citizens) is 5,832, out of which number 739 are currently registered good standing citizens, and 3,561 failed to answer this or any of the past censuses of Nova Roma. Out of the current 5,060 unregistered citizens, the number of those formerly census registered citizens who haven’t answered the current census is 518; the others didn’t respond to previous censuses. The difference (589) between the number of active citizens at the start of the census (1,107) and the number of those who have disappeared during this census (518) is the number who are continuing their active status since the last census. The surplus difference (150) between them, and the final list of citizens registered on the census (739) comes from the combined number of new citizens who joined Nova Roma since the start of the census (including 38 citizens acquired by the incorporation of the Municipium Res Publica Canadana Romana Internationalis) and returning disappeared citizens who were not registered before this census (who failed to register on previous censuses) but who returned now hearing the call to register on the census.
+:II.D. At the moment of the closing of the census, Nova Roma has 15 probationary citizens who can become full right citizens in any moment, and 62 pending citizens who haven’t yet confirmed their intention to join or haven’t yet decided on their name, or who possibly still ponder joining Nova Roma, and 6 incoming applications for citizenship.
+:II.E. At the moment of the closing of the census, the number of all citizenship applications that the Censorial Office has ever received for Nova Roman citizenship is 17,119, out of which 10,890 are kept among the records of the Censorial Database of the Album Civium. A percentage of these 17,119 applications were repeated applications by the same applicants. There have been, according to the statistics and calculations of the Censorial Office, which are part based on hypotheses as many censorial records and decisions of policy from the first years of Nova Roma are no longer available, at least 11,169, but possibly any mount between 11,169 and 15,919) individual applicants for citizenship have been made since the founding of Nova Roma. 4,996 of all applicants have never completed their process of obtaining citizenship. 6,229 rejected or duplicate applications were deleted by the previous administrations. According to the statistical estimations of the Censorial Office, approximately 1,200 applications out of the total 17,119 ever made might have been duplicate applications: the ones which are more recent, are still kept in the archives.

+==Edictum censorium de filiatione civium==
+:*STATUS: '''''In-Force'''''
+:*ORIGINALLY ENACTED: '''''{{Dec 21}} {{2022}}'''''
+:*OFFICIAL POST: '''''[https://groups.io/g/TheForumRomanum/message/98965 Forum Romanum #98965]'''''
+'''Edictum censorium de filiatione civium'''
+According to the tradition of our forefathers, in official statements and documents of the res publica, it is necessary for all Nova Romans that filiation (father's, praenomen) be included in their name, as a mark of citizenship and true Romanitas, reverence of parents: true Roman pietas and ancestral worship. Since the parents and ancestors of most Nova Romans have not joined Nova Roma with full citizenshio, and have not established their Roman names, most Nova Romans are currently not able to use a filiation in ceremonial and official formulas, even though, by law, the parents and ancestors of all citizens of Nova Roma are considered Nova Romans, as well, Nova Roman ethnicity without citizenship. The censors are now providing a practical and sensible solution for this problem to assist citizens to act as full Roman citizens with a complete Roman citizens's title and name.
+I. Whenever the formal need arises, all Nova Roman citizens may be referred to with their full, long and complete titular citizen name with tribal and ancestral filiation: usually put between the nomen gentile and the cognomen: "son/daughter of (praenomen of the father/mother), form the (name of the tribe) tribe", in Latin: "filius/filia (praenomen of the father/mother in genitive), (name of the tribe in ablative) tribu".
+:A. The simple version contains only the father's praenomen and/or the tribe, e.g.: Gaius Flavius Marci filius Esquilina tribu Sabinus.
+:B. The longer version may contain the grandfather's praenomen, too, e.g.: , e.g. Gaius Flavius Marci filius Titi nepos Esquilina tribu Sabinus.
+:C. The most ceremonial and solemn version might be extended to the praenomen of the great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather, as well. Longer forms were not in use, e.g.: , e.g. Gaius Flavius Marci filius Titi nepos Publii pronepos Lucii abnepos Esquilina tribu Sabinus.
+:D. The mother's praenomen is used if the citizen is in the stirps and domus of his or her mother, i.e., uses the same nomen-cognomen combination as the mother, e.g. Lucia Tullia Aulae filia Scholastica Flaviana (real example from Nova Roma).
+II. Citizens who want to decide by themselves the praenomen of their father, grandfather, great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather for filiation shall contact the Censorial Office and send these names for registration. Upon contact, the Censorial Office will give advise and guidance, as well. We also encourage everyone to register their parents and their entire family as citizens of Nova Roma, if it is possible, and to have them choose their own Roman praenomen: but when it is not convenient or possible, the present edict will give a solution.
+III. If someone does not identify as a multi-generational Roman but wants to emphasize that he or she is first, second or third (etc.) generational New Roman, coming from a different nationality and ethnic background, those may send the real name of their fathers and ancestors to the Censorial Office for creating a formula that fits this identification. First generational Romans in ancient Rome marked the barbarian praenomen of their fathers, for example: "Gaius Iulius, son of Dumnorix, Orgetorix", in Latin: "Gaius Iulius Dumnorigis filius Orgetorix". A modern example would a name like:  "Gaius Iulius, son of John, Timothy", in Latin: "Gaius Iulius Iohannis filius Timothaeus".
+IV. For those citizens who have not registered the names of their ancestors up to great-great-grandfather, the censores register Roman praenomina automatically, according a system that honors both Nova Roma and Roman tradition at the same time, and which is not random but symbolically meaningful:
+:A. The filiatio of these citizens shall be according to praenomina of the consuls and censors of the year when they received Nova Roman citizenship:
+::1. Father's praenomen: the first consul's praenomen
+::2. Grandfather's praenomen: the second consul's praenomen
+::3. Great-grandfather's praenomen: the first censor's praenomen
+::4. Great-great-grandfather's praenomen: the first censor's praenomen
+::6. Special cases:
+:::a. If in a year there was only one consul, then the praenomen of that consul shall be the grandfather's praenomen.
+:::b. If in a year there was only one censor, then the praenomen of that censor shall be the great-great-grandfather's praenomen.
+:::c. If there is no censor in a year, the praenomen of the first praetor shall be the great-grandfather's praenomen, and the praenomen of the second praetor shall be the great-great-grandfather's praenomen.
+:::d. For the year when there were tribuni militum consulari potestate instead of regular magistrates, their praenomina shall be used for in order of seniority in office: the first consular tribune's praenomen shall be the father's praenomen, the second consular tribune's praenomen shall be the grandfather's etc.
+:::e. In place of an irregular praenomen of a magistrate the praenomen "Gaius" shall be used which was considered to be the most generic praenomen by the Romans (see: "Ubi tu Gaius, ego Gaia").
+:::f. In case of cives nobiles by ancient Roman nobilitas, in place of a praenomen that is traditionally not used in that stirps (dynasty), and it shall be replaced with a praenomen that is acceptable in that Roman dynasty. For this, the list of consules ordinarii of ancient Rome shall be used. This does not contain all praenomina used by a stirps, but it allows for a quick and simple process.
+::::i. If there is a praenomen among the four NR magisterial praenomina selected by the regular process which cannot be found in the list of ancient Roman consules ordinarii, that praenomen shall be replaced with the praenomen of the most recent consul ordinarius prior of ancient Rome from the stirps.
+::::ii. If there are more praenomina to replace, the next one shall be praenomen of the previous consul from that stirps (in cases when both consuls were from the same family that might be the junior colleague of the consul whose praenomen was used first). This process shall be repeated until needed.
+::::iii. If there were not enough consules ordinarii from that stirps to produce all the praenomina needed, the process should be repeated from the beginning, and the praenomina that were already used should be re-used. If all four NR magisterial praenomina need to be replaced and there were only two consules ordinarii in ancient Rome from the stirps, then for the third filiation praenomen the first will be reused, for the fourth the second will be used; if there was only one ancient Roman consul ordinarius from the stirps, all four filiation names will be filled by that one praenomen.
+:B. For future citizens, when it will be deemed practical and implementable by the curator rei informaticae, the citizenship application page should offer the four praenomina of ancestors at the time of application for citizenship, with the current magistrates' praenomina set as default offerings for the newcomer if the applicants do not wish to choose themselves.
+V. It shall remain possible, by petition to the Censorial Office, to change the default ancestral praenomina that were automatically assigned to the citizen by this edict.
+VI. At a convenient time, the Censorial Office shall contact all citizens to encourage them to select their own self-chosen ancestral praenomina.

+'''Edictum censorium de moribus et operibus publicis'''
+We, the elected censors of Nova Roma, with authority granted to us by the lex Cornelia Domitia de re publica constituenda, have the duty to safeguard the public morality, virtue, honor and decency through public admonition, and to review, evaluate and set the direction of the public works, properties and finances of the state between two censuses. To fulfill our legal duties and to finalise our work as censors in this elected term, we have evaluated the public works, properties and finances of Nova Roma as part of the current census, and as part of the closing acts of the Census, we proclaim the following edict:
+'''I. Morals.'''
+:I.A. We, the censors, are happy to find that the exercise of public Roman virtues and morals in Nova Roma underwent great positive development since the last Census. Our fellow citizens are pious, dutiful, they help each other in calamities; they are brave and heroic. There is a strong sense of comradery and benevolence in Nova Roma.
+:I.B. As censors, it is our responsibility to make steps to ensure that the good tendencies are maintained and increased. Nova Roma suffered incredible amount of damage and many years of setback due to some irresponsible, hot-headed, foul mouthed, aggressive debaters, some intolerant, impatient and rude citizens who did not pay attention to the patron goddess of Nova Roma, Concordia, and to our founding principle, the unity among New Romans. As we are entering the next Sacred Year of Concordia, the 25th Anniversary of the Founding of Nova Roma, closing a quarter of a century in Roman revivalism, we, the censors, empowered to regulate the morals in Nova Roma, are calling the attention of the Nova Roman Senate and People, that the corner stone and foundation of public virtues and morals of Nova Roma is Concordia, the sense of unity, agreement and concordance. Without the basic agreement that we are fellow citizens, comrades in Roman reconstruction to each other, united for one goal, there will be no progress, and, eventually, there will be no Nova Roma. The Roman virtue of concordia is completed and accompanied with several other cohesive public virtues which were always part of the morals and good manners of a well-educated Roman citizen: in one word, we can summarize it as politeness. We, the censors, determine and prescribe that politeness shall be the standard public behaviour in Nova Roma: each citizen shall publicly act in the supposition that every fellow citizen is here in good will and for the common good, the common goal. In this spirit, we are instructing the government of Nova Roma to enforce the following principles until review in the next Census:
+::I.B.1. Public civil discourse in all official or public forums of Nova Roma shall always be polite, respectful, amicable and good spirited. Strong disagreement is natural and healthy in the public debates of a republic, but it always shall be phrased in a respectful and kind manner in Nova Roma.
+::I.B.2. Stronger, especially emotionally sensitive religious, philosophical, ethical or political disagreements, whenever possible, should be discussed privately between citizens, or in private forums, within private circles. When they are discussed publicly (which should be allowed only if there is a very wide and intense public demand for their public discussion), hurtful and offensive statements shall be managed according to rigorous but fair moderation policies.
+::I.B.3. All activities and discussions that separate rather than unite the fellow Nova Roman citizens shall be pursued in private. Nova Roma shall provide a place for activities and discussions that facilitate cohesion and productivity, to build Nova Roma, and not to provide a place for self-serving debates and confrontation of views which do not advance the causes and mission of Nova Roma.
+:I.C. Government officers who will not enforce these principles, and notorious offenders of this set of rules, will face rigorous reprimands in form of censorial notae and other forms of retribution. Citizens acting in this spirit will be praised and awarded, those acting against this spirit will be chastised and punished.
+'''II. Finances.'''
+:II.A. We, the censors, are happy to report that the original Nova Roma PayPal treasury and the official Nova Roma bank account was restored to the control of our Republic by Cn. Cornelius Lentulus. The accounts are now under the safe watch of P. Porcius Licinus, curator aerarii, and of the quaestores aerarii.
+:II.B. It can be reported that the total reclaimed financial reserves amounts to $11,440.21 USD, and besides this, the Nova Roman Aerarium has two subsidiary treasuries, one managed by the curator aerarii P. Porcius Licinus with approximately $1000 USD and another managed by quaestrix aerarii T. Popillia Laenas with approximately $4,000 USD.
+:II.C. We find the official treasuries of Nova Roma to be fiscally healthy and growing positively. There have been minimal outgoing expenditure and expenses since the last census. The only reported transactions occurring were to maintain our registered legal representative in Maine and the cost of website maintenance.
+:II.D. We, the censors, encourage that Nova Roma should use its accumulated treasury for meaningful expenditures and to not allow it to just sit idly, losing value and use. Nova Roma has a mission to accomplish and saved funds should be invested where we can advance our mission. We instruct the government of Nova Roma to work out policies to invest the funds of Nova Roma primarily in these areas until the the next Lustrum:
+::II.D.1. to support official state sacrifices, ceremonies and rituals financially which are public and for the benefit of all of Nova Roma.
+::II.D.2. to support the provinces to organize high quality events, and where possible, in support of reenactment. We define reenactment as the use of historically authentic Roman clothing and engaging in Roman activities, including: rituals, celebrations, military drills, gladiatorial or other theatrical-spectacular performances, banquets or even simple community moments and face-to-face meetings in historically authentic Roman clothing.
+::II.D.3. to support our legions and other reenactment groups who promote Nova Roma in return.
+::II.D.4. to establish one European and one North American central stock of ceremonial vestments, equipment and tools which magistrates, governors, priests and officers of Nova Roma can borrow and use. A similar one in Australia could eventually be established once the region has a larger number of active magistrates and priests, and a greater number of affiliated groups supporting more public events.
+:II.F. Our magistrates shall implement and execute these financial policies, within these conditions and observing these principles. They shall make proposals to the senate for cases when senate approval is needed.
+'''III. Properties.'''
+:III.A. Nova Roma has a main website, a Facebook page, a main official forum through Groups.io, a public forum through the Facebook group and Discord server, and an official Twitch Channel. Nova Roma also has a number of unofficial pages and forums (for example: Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, YouTube etc.) for publicity, for special interest groups, for our legions and other reenactment groups or for provincial purposes. These unofficial pages and forums are not under our purview.
+:III.B. We, the censors, instruct the magistrates and the government to continue the enhancement towards unified guidelines and moderation policies in all of our forums.
+::III.B.1. In keeping with our points in the Morals section of this edict, the aediles and all forum managers shall continue and strengthen the policy that all online discussion platforms, remain free from internal politics (with exception for the Forum Romanum), macronational politics, and any unpleasant or poorly toned debates.
+::III.B.2 The government shall review and evaluate the many unofficial pages and forums of Nova Roma and integrate them into the official system wherever it is permissible and logical to do so.
+::III.B.3. The moderators of all forums of Nova Roma shall be integrated into the Nova Roma ceremonial military system, as public servants, because they are the equivalent of police officers in Nova Roma for online safety and security. The aediles shall employ the “cohortes vigilum,” the consular and praetorian offices shall employ the “cohortes praetoriae,” the praefectus rei publicae shall employ the “cohortes rei publicae”.
+:III.C. In keeping with our points in the Finances section of this edict, the magistrates, the governors and the senate of Nova Roma, shall develop the details of how to store the new authentic Roman vestments and accessories, which are public property, so that they can be easily accessible. They are to develop a financial assurance framework and system of cautions to issue and investigate those citizens who borrow them and fail to return them or pay for damaged property.
+'''IV. Public projects and works.'''
+:IV.A. We, the censors, stipulate that the main direction of public activity, projects and works should focus on Roman living-history and Roman reenactment. Within the frame of these objectives, it is possible to conduct all activities desired by Nova Roma: festivals, rituals, ceremonies, celebrations, social meetings, educational and cultural programs and banquets. Since all ceremonial occasions of Nova Roma require Roman attire and authentic choreography, all of our public appearances fit in the category of living-history and reenactment. Another reason for this main direction is that these spectacular aspects of our public activities have the potential to be the best recruitment tool, and to become a reception of support by macronational authorities and institutions. This priority in our public works is further justified by the nature of the mission of Nova Roma which requires us to conduct Roman historical education, for which purpose living-history and reenactment have scientifically been demonstrated to be the best method. In light of this:
+::IV.A.1. we instruct our government, the aediles and governors in particular, that they do everything they can to make Nova Roma part of as many public Roman festivals as possible in our provinces and in Italy.
+::IV.A.2. we instruct the government of Nova Roma to support Roman camp, village or city building projects, which promote Nova Roma in return, with priority given to those that are managed or owned within Nova Roma itself.
+::IV.A.3. we instruct the government of Nova Roma to continue and expand our cooperation with Templum Project and to look for similar opportunities globally.
+::IV.A.4. we instruct the government of Nova Roma to develop a comprehensive Latin educational program within Nova Roma which would offer Latin education for citizens and non-citizens, and which could be used to generate revenue for Nova Roma and for employed teachers.
+::IV.A.5. we instruct the government of Nova Roma to support and give priority to Nova Roma media outlets, for example, to projects like our Twitch Channel. These are the best type of tool for fulfilling our mission of public education, recruitment and engaging our existing members.
+::IV.A.6. we instruct the government of Nova Roma to support the investment in more media attraction for Nova Roma. With the necessary financial approvals and senate oversight, the following four main audiences should be targeted with our media public service: Roman cultors, Roman reenactors, Latinists and classicists, and Roman history and archaeology enthusiasts.
+:IV.B. In order to achieve the status of "Rome Reborn" which Nova Roma was founded for, we need to be the best example of Roman reconstructionism in the world. With this in mind, we instruct the government of Nova Roma to make the extra effort so that all of our Roman ceremonial vestments, reconstructed garments, armor, all of our reconstructions, living-history, and reenactment programs always undergo continuous improvement with the goal to become the best in the world, which is echoed through the approval of the wider public.

+'''Edictum censorium de curiis et gentibus'''
+'''Preamble'''
+As mandated by the lex Arria de veteribus tribubus et curiis, the censors hereby establish the order of gentes within the 30 curiae and 3 ceremonial old tribes, the Ramnes, Tities and Luceres. This institution serves the religious community life of Nova Roma, especially the practice of the Numa Tradition, the oldest and most ancient religious practices, but it also serves the boost of grassroots community activity within these sacred and most ancient frames of the curiae.
+According to the law, we, the censors, could allocate only those gentes in the curia Acculeia, curia Faucia, curia Foriensis, curia Hersilia, curia Rapta, curia Tifata, curia Titia, curia Veliensis, curia Velitia which were originally founded during the Roman Kingdom. As mandated by the law, we had to place the gentes of Latin origin into the Tribus Ramnensis (where the members are denominated as "Ramnes"), the gentes of Sabine origin into the Tribus Titiensis ("Tities"), and the gentes of  Etruscan origin into the Tribus Lucerensis ("Luceres"). Gentes of other origin, or dubious or uncertain origin had to be placed into the ceremonial tribes according to the date of their founding in Nova Roma: those in the first year of Nova Roma (1998-03-01 - 1999-02-28) had to be placed among the Ramnes, those founded until the Completion of the Founding of Nova Roma (1999-03-01 - 2017-10-15)  among the Tities, and those who came afterwards (2017-10-16 - ...), among the Luceres.
+The final result is based on academic works in the subject, but it is not considered final and irreversible, but rearrangements of gentes into other curiae may be expected in the coming years as we conduct more research and refine our knowledge.
+We, the censors, would like to give thanks for the enormous work and research made by our scriba primicerius Cn. Cornelius Lentulus, member of the Onomastic Office, and to quaestor T. Popillia Laenas, for helping in the research and categorization of all the current, existing gentes of Nova Roma.
+'''I. Status of gentes'''
+Only "gens censa", an "active gens" which currently has cives censi (census registered active citizens) can be a member of the curiae. A gens which does no longer have cives censi in Nova Roma is termed as a "disappeared gens" or "gens incensa." If the youngest person (a disappeared citizen) in a disappeared gens would be 100 year old according to his or her NR ID data, the gens shall be declared an "extinct gens", and any new person taking the same nomen gentile will be regarded as the new founder of another, new re-embodiment of the gens, with a new administrative date of founding.
+'''II. The date of the founding and the founder of a gens within Nova Roma'''
+:A. The censors define that the administrative date of the founding of a gens in Nova Roma is the date of the registration of citizenship of the earliest member of the gens.
+:B. If an existing citizen changes his or her gens, not by adoption, but by administrative name changing process, any connection to his or her original gens is eliminated, and all records shall show only the new gens, and the citizen has to be regarded as if he or she had always been the member of the new gens. This type of name change is classified as "name correction", not a real name change, and it is done on the assumption that the new gens was always the one that the citizen intended, but he or she made a mistaken decision at the time of the application for citizenship.
+::1. When this name change gives a new gentilis (gens-member) to the gens who is an earlier citizen than the founder of the gens, the founder shall keep the right to be regarded as the founder of the gens, but the founding date of the gens will be re-dated to the date of citizenship of the new gentilis who is an earlier citizen than the founder of the gens.
+:::a. The founder of a Nova Roman gens is defined as the first citizen historically who registered that gens within Nova Roma.
+:::b. When the founder is unknown and cannot be investigated, the actually earliest member of the gens will be regarded as the founder of the gens (subject to change, as described in I.B.2). If this person is no longer an active citizen of Nova Roma, then the gens is considered no longer to have a founder alive or active, and privileges granted to the founder are taken up by the collective of the patres familiarum of the gentes who can exercise their privileges by vote.
+::2. The founder of the gens shall have the power to decide the ceremonial founding anniversary of the gens which can be used to celebrate the existence of the gens in Nova Roma. This date, by default, is always the date of citizenship of the earliest member of the gens, and is subject to change if an earlier citizen becomes part of the gens through name correction process.
+::3. The founder of the gens shall have the right to petition the Censorial Office to change the administrative founding date of the gens in Nova Roma. The request will be judged on a case by case basis by the Censorial Office.
+'''III. Addition of new gentes to the curiae'''
+It shall be the duty of the Officium Onomasticum of the Censorial Office to investigate the historical origin of each new gens registered in Nova Roma, and to allocate them into one of the curiae, according to the rules of the lex Arria de veteribus tribubus et curiis. Each new gens shall be added to a curia within a year of its inclusion to Nova Roma, and it shall be approved by the Comitia Curiata.
+'''IV. Addition of returning old gentes to the curiae'''
+:A. Those old disappeared gentes of Nova Roma which are not part of the current curiate arrangement, upon return, shall be added to the curiae by the Censorial Office, and it shall also be approved by the Comitia Curiata.
+:B. If a current active gens becomes disappeared, but later returns, it shall be automatically returned to the same curia where it was, without any ceremonies or any approval by the Comitia Curiata. Steps of approval and involvement of the Comitia Curiata is only necessary if the returning gens would be allocated to a different curia than where it was originally.
+:C. Extinct gentes, upon revival, shall be treated as new gentes.
+'''V. Curiate approval for the composition of the three ceremonial tribes and thirty curiae'''
+This and any subsequent arrangement of the gentes into curiae and tribes shall be approved by the Comitia Curiata.
+:A. The Censorial Office shall maintain a list of new gentes and a list of returning disappeared gentes, and shall periodically communicate it to the Collegium Pontificum and to the curio maximus.
+:B. It is recommended that new gentes and returning disappeared gentes be approved in batches, periodically, not one by one, because it would result in too frequent session of the Comitia Curiata. The Comitia Curiata should be convened to approve the inclusion of new gentes at least once or twice every year.
+'''VI. Primordial Nova Roman distribution of the gentes censae into the three ceremonial old tribes and curiae'''
+We, the censors of Nova Roma, Q. Arrius Nauta and P. Annaeus Constantinus Placidus, in the 25th year of Nova Roma, 5 years after the Completion of the Founding of the Nova Roman People, preparing for our 25th Anniversary, as part of the last touches of the ceremonial and ritual founding of the Nova Roman People, proclaim the following distribution of the currently existing gentes of Nova Roma among the ceremonial old tribes, the Ramnes, Tities, Luceres, and among the thirty curiae, and we instruct the Officium Rei Informaticae of Nova Roma, with the involvement and supervision of the Collegium Pontificum, to facilitate its technological aspects and arrange the election of our first curiones, the curio maximus, the appointment of the flamines curiales and the new lictores curiati:

+Edictum consulare de comitiis tributis convocandis
+I. The Nova Roman People is hereby called to attend the Comitia Populi Tributa in the electronic main forum of Nova Roma, according to emergency procedure, described in lex Tullia de comitiis habendis.
+II. Justification for the emergency session: The comitia is conducted according to emergency process as described by the lex Tullia. Due to our timing mistake, the consuls are in great delay with holding the election of quaestors.We still have time for the other magistrates but quaestors take office on December 5. Because quaestorship is not very high decision maker.
