Revision as of 20:44, 16 January 2010

Fl. Vedio M. Cassio cos. ‡ MMDCCLI a.u.c.

L. Equitio Dec. Iunio cos. ‡ MMDCCLII a.u.c.

To date, some individuals mentioned in my original post elevating individuals to the Senate have not indicated a willingness to accept the post, whether in private email to me or by posting their Oath to the public list. Please note that the offer is now closed, and anyone who has not done so has given up their opportunity (some for very valid reasons, some out of spite, and some out of apathy).

Dictator Flavius Vedius Germanicus - a.d. XIV Kal. Sext. 2752 auc (July 19, 1999 cc)

Due to special circumstances, Gaius Triumphius Cicero was unable to send or receive email over the last few weeks, and thus was unable to know of or respond to my offer to elevate him to the Senate. Now that he's back on-line, he has indicated his wish to accept. Therefore, as legally-appointed Dictator of Nova Roma, I hereby declare that Gaius Triumphius Cicero is elevated to membership in the Senate, with all of the duties and privileges that brings.

Dictator Flavius Vedius Germanicus - a.d. XII Kal. Sext. 2752 auc (July 21, 1999 cc)

As legally appointed dictator of Nova Roma, I hereby declare that the album senatus shall consist of the following individuals:

• Caius Aelius Ericius
• Quintus Caecilius Metellus
• Marcus Cassius Iulianus
• Gaius Drusus Domitianus
• Antonius Gryllus Graecus
• Minervina Iucundia Flavia
• Decius Iunius Palladius
• Marcus Mucius Scaevola Magister
• Gaius Triumphius Cicero
• Flavius Vedius Germanicus

This edictum supersedes all others pertaining to Senatorial appointments and previous enrollment status.

Dictator Flavius Vedius Germanicus - a.d. VII Kal. Sext. 2752 auc (July 26, 1999 cc)

Lucius Cornelius Sulla is hereby added to the album senatorium. His omission from the previous list was an error on my part.

Dictator Flavius Vedius Germanicus - a.d. VII Kal. Sext. 2752 auc (July 26, 1999 cc)

Q. Maximo M. Minucio cos. ‡ MMDCCLIII a.u.c.

M. Octavio L. Sulla (II) cos. ‡ MMDCCLV a.u.c.

Censores Lucius Equitius Cincinnatus et Caius Flavius Diocletianus Quiritibus s.p.d.

In accordance with the Constitution Novae Romae, section IV.A.1.d. ("to maintain the album senatorium (list of Senators), including the power to add and remove names on that list according to qualifications set by law;" - http://www.novaroma.org/tabularium/constitution.html) et Lex Vedia Senatoria, section II, ("any individual elected to the office of curule aedile or appointed to the office of provincial governor may, at the discretion of the censor(e)s, be included in the album Senatorum six months after assuming office (assuming that the individual was not already a member of the Senate)." - http://www.novaroma.org/tabularium/leges/1999-07-30-vii.html), it is our privilege and pleasure to announce the addition of two new senatores to the Senate:

• L. Pompeius Octavianus, propraetor;
• L. Sicinius Drusus, propraetor.

Both of them have exhibited the qualities sought by us all as Cives Romani. Mars nos protegat.

Edictum censorium de senatoribus quietis (on the inactive senators)

In accordance with lex Octavia de senatoribus, passed by the Comitia populi tributa in February 2755, those Senators, named below, who have failed to maintain the required level of activity in the Senate are hereby removed from the Senate:

• Minervina Iucundia Flavia, who last voted in the Senate in early 2753 (2000), last posted to the Senate list in November 2753 auc (2000), and did not vote in any Comitia in the general elections of 2754 or 2755;
• G. Tullius Triumphius Cicero, who last voted in the Senate in April 2754 (2001), and last posted to the Senate list in October 2754 auc (2001), and did not vote in any Comitia in the general elections of 2754 or 2755.

We wish to make it perfectly clear that these Senators are not being dismissed for any sort of wrongdoing; rather, we are acknowledging that they have have vanished entirely from our Res Publica, and bringing the official list of Senators into conformity with reality. Should these citizens choose to become active at a later date, they may be reinstituted at the option of the censores of that time.

According to Paragraph IV. A. 1. d. of the Constitution of Nova Roma and Lex Popillia Senatoria, the censores have the powers of maintaining the Album Senatorium, and

With the decision of Gnaeus Cornelius Lentulus to turn down an appointment to the Senate for the reasons stated, we take this opportunity to sublection the following citizens to the Senate.

Stephanus Ullerius Venator Piperbarbus, a citizen of Nova Roma since 2751 ( 1998). He is currently serving as Custos . He has served as Diribitor, Rogator, three times as Quaestor and as a Lictor since 2752 (1999). He has proven himself to be a selfless citizen who will take on those jobs others fail to do. He has maintained a demeanor, courtesy and commitment to Nova Roma that has won him friends from all political views within Nova Roma. Truth be told his appointment to the Senate is long over due.

Equestria Iunia Laeca is currently serving as Consular Quaestor and Curator Aerarii (Chief Financial Officer of Nova Roma, Inc)). She has almost single-handedly brought the finances of Nova Roma from chaos to transparency
