Governors are free to maintain their provincial edicta on their Nova Roma official website province pages as they see fit, but must ensure they are linked back to the above page.

D AVRELIVS INGENIARIVS

Praetor Rei Publicae Novae Romae

Edictum Praetorium de Legibus Mutandis


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 translaticium


Edictum translaticium

I. In accordance with the Lex Arria de edictis, magistrates are required to confirm or revoke those edicta of their office predecessors before any new edicta can be issued.

II. The following edicta are confirmed and considered in-force for the term of the praetors of 2775 a.u.c:

A. Edictum praetorium C. Artorii de foris publicis (2774) – about how citizens represent themselves online.
B. Edictum praetorium de correctione C. Barosi de nominibus nonnullarum legum corrigendis (2774) – defines the Law Revision Committee of Classicists and Latinists as referenced in legislation elsewhere and who currently sits on that committee.
C. Edictum praetorium Barosi de iure iurando Latino (2774) – provides the required Latin translation of the oath of office.
D. Edictum de Renovatione Tabularii (2774) – defines how the Nova Roma Tabularium should be structured.
E. Edictum praetorium de candidatis (2773) – mandates that election candidates are required to post a link to their Album Civium entry when making public campaigns.

III. All other edicta are considered enacted and now lapsed or otherwise now void.

Edictum Aedilicium De Mercatu Novo Romano (II)

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.

I. The tribunes of the plebs are free to appoint citizens as their apparitores regardless of their gentilician genus, whether patrician or plebeian.

(2) ROGATIO PETRONIA DE NOVIS CIVIBUS

I. Sons and daughters of any existing, full citizen, civis Novus Romanus optimo iure, shall be granted citizenship in Nova Roma without any requirement of probationary period and citizenship test.

II. When an entire community joins Nova Roma, as part of the process of incorporation within Nova Roma as a municipality, its members shall not be submitted to the probationary period and the citizenship test, but shall be granted the civil right status of civitas Latina, civitas Nova Romana sine suffragio, or the status of socius and amicus, en masse. 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.

III. Full citizenship, civitas optimo iure, may be granted only on an individual basis, upon request by the person, but citizenship test and probationary period may not be imposed on such applicants of full Nova Roman citizenship who have obtained a lesser civil right status (civitas sine suffragio, Latin rights, or ally and friend status) already either individually, or as part of a grant en masse to their community.

IV. When legions, gladiatorial schools, other reenactment groups, religious societies or other non-governmental Roman communities join Nova Roma, whether with their entire membership, the Censorial Office shall apply the procedure described at Sections II-III.

V. When individual Roman reenactors, Latinists, Classicists, Roman archaeologists, scholars of Roman studies are applying for full citizenship, if they demonstrate their status, they should not be subjected to the citizenship test, except if the Censorial Office deems it absolutely necessary according to the discretion of the decision makers (the censors, or, in the absence of censors, the officer in charge of the Censorial Office).

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

VII. The Censorial Office is obliged to provide material (links, short descriptions or summaries) to educate applicants of citizenship, even those who receive waiver from under the test and probationary period, about the basics of the internal rules, mission and function of Nova Roma.

VIII. Sections II and II.A of the lex Equitia de tirocinio civium novorum shall be modified to read as:

“II. Beginning Kalendis Ianuarias, MMDCCLVIII, all new citizens of Nova Roma shall be subject to a probationary period, during which they will not be allowed the 'iura publica', the right to vote and to stand for any public office.

III.A. The probationary period will end when the new citizen has taken and passed a simple examination covering elementary matters of Nova Roman citizenship and basic Roman history, religion, language, and social practices.”
