Item I

Item I.a.

The Senate hereby grants all Vestales Virgines of Nova Roma an exemption from the tributum whereby they shall not now and for all times in the future be required to pay the annual tax and shall nevertheless retain their status as assidui and thus eligible to also retain their sacerdotal offices in perpetuity.

• UTI ROGAS 21.
• ABSTINEO 3.
• ANTIQUO 2.

Item passed.

Comments:

• [MMPH] Marcus Moravius Piscinus Horatianus: Adsentior uti rogas.
• [KFBQ] Kaeso Fabius Buteo Quintilianus: UTI ROGAS I think the purpose of this proposal will benefit Nova Roma in the future.
• [KFBM] Kaeso Fabius Buteo Modianus: Uti Rogas.
• [QSP] Quintus Suetonius Paulinus: UTI ROGAS I also think the purpose of this proposal will benefit Nova Roma in the future.
• [PMA] Publius Memmius Albucius: ANTIQUO for this proposal is unconstitutional : neither a magisterial edict nor a a senatus consultum can bring an exception to rules that are, as currently, organized by leges. On the proceedings, the fact that this point has been put in the agenda 3 days ago with no possibility of preliminary discussion, while the current Senate session is open since June 19, is irregular, as is the fact that no previous opinion from the Collegium Pontificum has been asked and displayed on the matter. On the matter, there are other ways to thank any public officer for well fulfilling their charge.
• [TGP] Tiberius Galerius Paulinus: UTI ROGAS with the understanding that the The Apula de assidui et capiti censi which defines taxpayers and non-taxpayers will be placed before the voters for amendment. A Senatus consulta can not override the requirements of a Lex The Lex will have to be amended in order to give this exemption the force of law?
• [MIS] Marcus Iulius Severus:VTI ROGAS
• [MCC] Marcus Curiatius Complutensis:VTI ROGAS
• [MIP] Marcus Iulius Perusianus:ABSTINEO
• [CCS] Gaius Curius Saturninus:Uti rogas.
• [MLA] Marcus Lucretius Agricola:Uti Rogas. Let us put in motion what is needed to do this lawfully.
• [GPL] Gaius Popillius Laenas:UTI ROGAS
• [JSM] Julilla Sempronia Magna:Uti Rogas
• [TIS] Titus Iulius Sabinus:Uti rogas
• [ATMC] Appius Tullius Marcellus Cato: UTI ROGAS
• [DIPI] Decius Iunius Palladius Invictus:UTI ROGAS
• [GEM] Gnaeus Equitius Marinus:Uti Rogas
• [AMA] Arnamentia Moravia Aurelia:Uti Rogas
• [ATS] Aula Tullia Scholastica:Vti rogas, though as Consularis Paulinus has pointed out, it may be necessary to amend the Lex Apula de assiduis et capite censis in order for this to be put into effect.
• [MHM] Marca Hortensia Maior: UTI ROGAS Vestals work pro populo so the Senate can remit their tax
• [MAM] Marcus Arminius Maior: Abstineo.
• [QFM] Quintus Fabius Maximus:VTI ROGAS
• [FAC] Franciscus Apulus Caesar:ABSTINEO
• [TOPA] Titus Octavius Pius Ahenobarbus:UTI ROGAS
• [ECF] Emilia Curia Finnica:Uti rogas
• [PMS] Pompeia Minucia Strabo: ANTIQUO. Constitutionally, the legislative body most in charge of the policies of the Collegium Pontificium is the Collegium herself. The concerns of some Senators regarding existing comitia laws are well taken, and with that, I recognize the Senate's authority regarding the republic's financial distribution. However, constitutionally, the criteria by which religious personnel are allowed to hold titles, how they are rewarded, disciplined, etc. is not for the Senate to determine....it is the Collegium. And there is an existing Religious Decretum on the matter at hand:[1] As it stands they are legally bound to pay taxes. I have not seen this religious legislation repealed. Am I incorrect? Assuming I am not (and I haven't seen any announcement to this end)I must vote no until the religious decretum above is amended to reflect that our proposal above is in keeping with the constitutionally privileged policy of the Collegium running her own internal affairs. I will support further steps to ensure that they may be granted perpetual assiduiship, if the collegium decrees that this is their wish. We have to be constitutional.

Item I.b.

The Senate directs that all public sacerdotes make an annual report to the Collegium Pontificum of any funds they receive and any expenses they pay in the performance of rites specifically for the Res Publica of Nova Roma. The Collegium Pontificum shall be responsible for gathering this information from all public sacerdotes and the Pontifex Maximus shall be responsible for reporting their findings semi annually to the Consules, Quaestores Consulares, and Curator Aerarii by 31 July and 31 January.

• UTI ROGAS 20.
• ABSTINEO 2.
• ANTIQUO 4.

Item passed.

Comments:

• [MMPH] Marcus Moravius Piscinus Horatianus: Adsentior uti rogas.
• [KFBQ] Kaeso Fabius Buteo Quintilianus: UTI ROGAS. I am not sure if this is needed, but let's try.
• [KFBM] Kaeso Fabius Buteo Modianus: Uti Rogas. However,I think that our sacerdotes should be able to get their taxes reimbursed through showing they are performing rituals on behalf of Nova Roma. Most magesterial tasks require time, being a sacerdos requires time and money to perform the rituals. To some this money is no big investment, to others it is.
• [QSP] Quintus Suetonius Paulinus: UTI ROGAS
• [PMA] Publius Memmius Albucius: ANTIQUO, for for this proposal is also unconstitutional : on one hand, the Senate can, as the body in charge of the Budget of the Republic, organize the rules and proceedings relative to the goals for which NR public funds are spent, and how to control these expenses; but on the other hand, it cannot put a new obligation to the Collegium Pontificum's charge without Its preliminary agreement, specially because the CP is not, in our constitution and leges, bound by the acts of every sacerdos and is a separate constitutional power not placed under the Senate's overview (see Constitution § V and VI). So, even if our legal texts do not cover the field treated here by Item Ib, the Senate is legally authorized to take powers which our laws does not give it.
• [TGP] Tiberius Galerius Paulinus: ANTIQUO. This proposal should be changed so it reads as a suggestion to the Collegium Pontificum as to what the Senate recommends should be required of all public sacerdotes.
• [MIS] Marcus Iulius Severus:VTI ROGAS
• [MCC] Marcus Curiatius Complutensis: ABSTINEO
• [MIP] Marcus Iulius Perusianus:ABSTINEO
• [CCS] Gaius Curius Saturninus:Uti rogas.
• [MLA] Marcus Lucretius Agricola:Uti Rogas. Let us put in motion what is needed to do this lawfully.
• [GPL] Gaius Popillius Laenas:UTI ROGAS
• [JSM] Julilla Sempronia Magna:Uti Rogas
• [TIS] Titus Iulius Sabinus:Uti rogas
• [ATMC] Appius Tullius Marcellus Cato: ANTIQUO. Should be changed so it reads as a suggestion to the Collegium Pontificum.
• [DIPI] Decius Iunius Palladius Invictus:UTI ROGAS
• [GEM] Gnaeus Equitius Marinus:Uti Rogas
• [AMA] Arnamentia Moravia Aurelia:Uti Rogas
• [ATS] Aula Tullia Scholastica:Vti rogas, though here again we may have to change the wording and/or amend legislation.
• [MHM] Marca Hortensia Maior: UTI ROGAS. As a sacerdos I am all for financial transparancy. It ensures an ethical priesthood.
• [MAM] Marcus Arminius Maior:Uti Rogas
• [QFM] Quintus Fabius Maximus:VTI ROGAS
• [FAC] Franciscus Apulus Caesar:VTI ROGAS
• [TOPA] Titus Octavius Pius Ahenobarbus:UTI ROGAS
• [ECF] Emilia Curia Finnica:Uti rogas
• [PMS] Pompeia Minucia Strabo:ANTIQUO. Again, this must line up with a religious decretum. The Collegium dictates policy on their internal affairs, which includes member redentials, behaviour, etc. The Senate does not. I will cooperate with the wishes of the collegium after I formally hear from them via decretum, supporting whatever subsequent legal amendments are necessary...I will not, by unconstitutional means however, tell them what to do.

Item II.

Withdrawn

Item III.

The Senate hereby approves of the Consules acting on behalf of Nova Roma to accept sponsorship from "Babyhold" and to direct our Magister Aranearius to provide space on the Nova Roma website that advertises "Babyhold" sponsorship for Nova Roma. In developing this relationship, the Consules are likewise to develop guidelines for potential future sponsors of Nova Roma, these guidelines to be submitted to the Senate Rules Committee before final submission to the full Senate for approval.

• UTI ROGAS 22.
• ABSTINEO 2.
• ANTIQUO 2.

Item passed.

Comments:

• [MMPH] Marcus Moravius Piscinus Horatianus:Adsentior uti rogas.
• [KFBQ] Kaeso Fabius Buteo Quintilianus: UTI ROGAS, this this we are taking a big step forward. We might find that our website and our Res Publica can draw more money like this to us, as long as it doesn't hurt our "look", I am all for it.
• [KFBM] Kaeso Fabius Buteo Modianus: Uti Rogas.
• [QSP] Quintus Suetonius Paulinus: UTI ROGAS
• [PMA] Publius Memmius Albucius: ABSTINEO, because the consular proposal asks us to "accept sponsorship from 'Babyhold'", and not to "enter in discussion with B.", which I would approved. If this item is voted, I am confident in the fact that the consuls will be cautious enough to propose, if things are to go further, a contractual relation with potential sponsors which will take in due consideration the fact that Nova Roma intends to keep its sovereignty on its web pages; the "end of contract" clauses will thus need to be carefully examined in this frame. Second, I would be confident also that our consuls are wise enough to make proposals who do not take our Republic web pages for a pure commercial web site.
• [TGP] Tiberius Galerius Paulinus: UTI ROGAS
• [MIS] Marcus Iulius Severus:VTI ROGAS. This is a very important step for our Res publica.
• [MCC] Marcus Curiatius Complutensis:VTI ROGAS
• [MIP] Marcus Iulius Perusianus:VTI ROGAS
• [CCS] Gaius Curius Saturninus:Uti rogas. It is afterall perhaps better to start negotiations with them than to let the opportunity to pass. However as I and others have pointed out, the contents of their service is not in par with the quality standards we are used to. I would like to see in the negotiations also dicussed a possible field of cooperation between us and them in a way that we could provide properly researched information about the Roman names.
• [MLA] Marcus Lucretius Agricola.Uti Rogas.
• [GPL] Gaius Popillius Laenas:UTI ROGAS, I too have trouble understanding why Babyhold would want to sposor NR and have concerns about appearances, but I see no harm in the Consuls investigating.
• [JSM] Julilla Sempronia Magna:Uti Rogas
• [TIS] Titus Iulius Sabinus:Uti rogas
• [ATMC] Appius Tullius Marcellus Cato: UTI ROGAS
• [DIPI] Decius Iunius Palladius Invictus:UTI ROGAS. It certainly can't hurt for us to investigate what this would entail. I would not want any such advertisement on the "splash" page, but on the main page.
• [GEM] Gnaeus Equitius Marinus:Uti Rogas
• [AMA] Arnamentia Moravia Aurelia:Antiquo
• [ATS] Aula Tullia Scholastica:Abstineo. I have reservations about their motives, and in any case do not like the concept of advertising on our website, particularly on the main pages
• [MHM] Marca Hortensia Maior: UTI ROGAS, I think it is splendid for Nova Roma to generate income. Praise goes to M. Octavius Gracchus and M. Lucretius Agricola for our NRwiki that receives so many hits
• [MAM] Marcus Arminius Maior:Uti Rogas
• [QFM] Quintus Fabius Maximus:VTI ROGAS
• [FAC] Franciscus Apulus Caesar:VTI ROGAS. I support the creation of guidelines for the management of the sponsorships. I would suggest to prefer cultural supporters working in our same field, the Ancient World. Welcoming Google AdSense (filtering the banners for cultural matters only), it could be a good opportunity to raise money and improve our position in the search enigines..
• [TOPA] Titus Octavius Pius Ahenobarbus:UTI ROGAS
• [ECF] Emilia Curia Finnica:Uti rogas
• [PMS] Pompeia Minucia Strabo:ANTIQUO. As with others, I am not entirely satisfied with the credentials of this sponsor, or the long term benefit to the republic. For the moment any way.

Item IV.

Withdrawn

• [PMS] If this is the item for a few sestertii for the conventus, I would have cheerfully voted for it. I realize that there was no budget put forth last year, but we could still have voted to put a few coins in the sinus...we've done so in the past.

Item V.

The Senate hereby revokes the senatus consultum of 26 November MMDCCLVI to classify the land in Texas as ager publicus.

• UTI ROGAS 17.

Item passed.

Comments:

• [MMPH] Marcus Moravius Piscinus Horatianus: Adsentior uti rogas.
• [KFBQ] Kaeso Fabius Buteo Quintilianus: UTI ROGAS, once again a step towards professionalism.
• [KFBM] Kaeso Fabius Buteo Modianus: Uti Rogas. I applaud M. Hortensia Maior for advocating for this investment, which I believe will be a good one.
• [QSP] Quintus Suetonius Paulinus: UTI ROGAS, will help keep our noses clean.
• [PMA] Publius Memmius Albucius: UTI ROGAS, even if we still wait for precisions on the "other services", and with the wish that the consuls issue every year a short report on whether and how this service would have been used.
• [TGP] Tiberius Galerius Paulinus: ANTIQUO. Having talked to the people at MANP the `free legal" advice Is for ONE 30 minute time period ONCE. They have one lawyer who donates a set block of time and the advice is given on a first come first served basis. Membership in the group gets us nothing.
• [MIS] Marcus Iulius Severus:VTI ROGAS. I concur with Senator and Censor K. Fabius Buteo Modianus: theour dear collegae, Senatrix M. Hortensia Maior, deserves a well earned recognition for this proposal.
• [MCC] Marcus Curiatius Complutensis:VTI ROGAS
• [MIP] Marcus Iulius Perusianus:ABSTINEO
• [CCS] Gaius Curius Saturninus:Uti rogas. Let's see if they can be of any help for our administration on macronational matters.
• [MLA] Marcus Lucretius Agricola:Uti Rogas.
• [GPL] Gaius Popillius Laenas: ANTIQUO, I know it is only $50, but I see no need for this and as Censor Paulinus has pointed out it is of very dubious value.
• [JSM] Julilla Sempronia Magna:Uti Rogas
• [TIS] Titus Iulius Sabinus:Uti rogas
• [ATMC] Appius Tullius Marcellus Cato: UTI ROGAS
• [DIPI] Decius Iunius Palladius Invictus:ANTIQUO. I echo the comments of Laenas and Paulinus that this has not been shown to be of great value, despite the low cost.
• [GEM] Gnaeus Equitius Marinus: Antiquo. I do not feel that we would be getting good value for our fee here. While the idea of joining some association that would help us with legal issues unique to Maine nonprofit associations is a good one, this particular association doesn't seem to be the answer.
• [AMA] Arnamentia Moravia Aurelia:Uti Rogas
• [ATS] Aula Tullia Scholastica:Abstineo. I am less than convinced about the merits of this.
• [MHM] Marca Hortensia Maior: UTI ROGAS, We need professional advice. This insures it at a low cost
• [MAM] Marcus Arminius Maior: Abstineo
• [QFM] Quintus Fabius Maximus: ANTIQVO.
• [FAC] Franciscus Apulus Caesar: ABSTINEO. I don't know what is this Association, I don't know if we need its help.
• [TOPA] Titus Octavius Pius Ahenobarbus:UTI ROGAS
• [ECF] Emilia Curia Finnica:Uti rogas
• [PMS] Pompeia Minucia Strabo:UTI ROGAS - Hey, we paid 35.00 yearly on land taxes for a few years. I'd say try it for a couple of years, and if it isn't all it's cracked up to be, then we unsubscribe. I don't see where that will hurt us.

Item VII.

The Senate hereby approves of the objectives and focus areas laid out in the project proposal of Aedilis Curulis P. Memius Albucius. The proposal is as follows.

Based on the Senate's decisions a multi-phased plan extending over a number of years will be developed with an estimated schedule and estimated costs to be presented later this year. First to consider are a number of focus areas that will be developed for the project:

Focus B.

Financial support for the 3d virtual reconstruction of the Magna Mater temple and its immediate area Palatine. This virtual reconstruction would be either B1 or B2, below, at the Senate's option.

B1.

A basic reconstruction, not too detailed, taking around six months to complete.

Focus D.

Financial support for specific areas adjoining the Temple of Magna Mater grounds. For example, contributing to the construction of a "reflection area" with park benches; an information kiosk; or plaques to mark specific sites in the temple complex. Such an effort on the part of Nova Roma would depend, as in Focus C, on the plans of Italian authorities for the preservation of the area. The Aedilician team working with the Italian authorities would review the plans and determine what elements Nova Roma might be able to support.

• [MMPH] Marcus Moravius Piscinus Horatianus: Adsentior uti rogas. This provision will give the Aediles and their Quaestores the flexibility needed for contract maintainance. The provision especially takes into consideration certain costs that we may incur, as with banking fees related specifically to the Aedilician Fund. In meeting our obligations in a timely manner we thus look to prevent any delays of the project due to our own failing. The money comes from the Aedilicia Fund itself, and does not impinge on funds set aside for other projects. It instead informs any potential contributor what is the maximum proporation of any donation that would go to meet Project Management costs. If we tell a partner that we shall pay X amount, then the Aedilis needs additional money set aside for him to cover the cost of bank transfers or for any other fees. It is also the responsibility of the Aediles to maintain records of the MMP, and this too can at times runs into small fees. We are providing the money needed by the Aediles to be flexible and also controlling just how flexible we shall allow the Aediles to be with the total fund.
