Nova Roma is asking for your donation in order to maintain, reorganize and revitalize our ever growing international organization and community. As a tribute to the ancient Roman state and society, we call these donations “taxes”. These taxes are optional, and very low (only 9 USD) but in order to maintain your ranks and status in Nova Roma, "tax payment” is required, which is just a donation to the non-corporate community treasury of Nova Roma, administered by P. Porcius Licinus (Mr Jeff Larson), the curator aerarii of Nova Roma. This year, all donations must be sent to the current tax collecting quaestor, T. Popillia Laenas (Ms Dorka Mak) and they will be used for the Information Technology Fund of Nova Roma, reorganizing our website and online presence. Nova Roma needs your donations in order to keep our website, citizen database and online assets, so it is of extraordinary importance to pay your taxes this year.

The deadline to donate your “Nova Roman taxes” is 1 June, 2022. After this 1 June deadline “taxes” will be accepted only with a delay penalty of an additional 9 USD, which means that from 1 June taxes with penalty in total will be 18 USD. The penalty doesn't apply for citizens who became members of Nova Roma after that date. Please also note that paying the membership fee is optional, but it gives a higher citizen status, more rights and a higher voting power to you within Nova Roma.

Tax rates are determined by the Senate (Nova Roma) each year. You can read more information about the Senatus Consultum on this year's taxes through the Senatus consultum de tributis Sex. Lucio et A. Tullia coss.

HOW DO I PAY MY TAX?

You just have to send your tax-substituting donations of minimum 9 USD via PayPal to the collector, the curator aerarii (chief treasurer) and quaestor P. Porcius Licinus at the following PayPal address:

dorka_mak@yahoo.com

VERY IMPORTANT: When you have sent the donation, please send a message to the consul immediately and specify the amount you donated. Only he can update your assiduus (taxpayer) status as a "good standing citizen". Send an email to him with your Roman name and specify how much you donated so it can be matched to records. Contact the consul Sex. Lucilius Tutor at:

lutorianis@gmail.com

You may send just the minimum 9 USD, but ideally -- if you can allow it -- you should send more because Nova Roma is under a complete reorganization and its corporate and website infrastructure, the current costs are high, and we have only a few donors. An ideal donation would be about 50 dollars. If you send 20, 30, 80 or more, all will be great help to Nova Roma. Only by your donations can we fully reorganize and revitalize our community.

If you fail to submit your taxes, you will lose your offices or ranks (if you have any), as per the law, because taxpayer status is required for holding office.

The deadline is June 1, after that the minimum amount will rise to 18 USD.

BECOME AN EQUESTRIAN

The minimum amount of acceptable donation is 9 USD, however, if you decide to pay at least 135 USD or more (81 USD if you are a Latinist or a reenactor), you receive the honor of being enrolled, with full membership, into the Equestrian Order of Nova Roma, and you become an eques equo privato ("knight with private horse") or private equestrian, in brief. By becoming a private equestrian you receive the following extra rights:

• to use the title "eques", or "eques Novus Romanus" (Nova Roman Knight or Equestrian);
• to have 400 extra Census Points for as long as you maintain your yearly status;
• to obtain membership automatically in the First Class which gives you the highest influence in Nova Roman elections;
• to have the label "member of the Equestrian Order" in your citizen ID profile
• to wear a tunica angusticlavia (a tunic decorated with a narrow purple stripe);
• to wear the equestrian golden ring;
• to extend this right to your direct descendants and to your spouse (as long as you remain an equestrian);
• to have distinguished seats and to take precedence over regular citizens at public events;

All you have to do is to send at least 135 USD or more instead of the 9 USD of donation for your Nova Roman taxes, and you become a distinguished member of the Nova Roman aristocracy, the Equestrian Order. Send your equestrian donation to this PayPal address before 1 June:

dorka_mak@yahoo.com

VERY IMPORTANT: When you have sent the donation, please send a message to the consul immediately and specify the amount you donated. Only he can update your assiduus (taxpayer) status as a "good standing citizen". Send an email to him with your Roman name and specify how much you donated so it can be matched to records. Contact the consul Sex. Lucilius Tutor at:

BECOME A TREASURY TRIBUNE EQUESTRIAN

If you would like to help Nova Roma with a higher donation, but the amount required for the equestrian status is too high for you, or if you just want to wear lawfully, as an authentic Nova Roman, the narrow purple stripe on your tunica, there is a less expensive way to do that! If you donate at least 45 USD or more, you receive the title "tribunus aerarius equestris", which doesn't give you full membership in the Equestrian Order of Nova Roma, but you will be entitled to wear the equestrian narrow purple stripes.

REDUCED FREE: If you are a Roman reenactor or a Latinist, you can receive a significant discount, if requested, and you can receive the dignity of a treasury tribune for a donation of at least 27 USD. You will have to prove with photographic evidence (which we might post on our website) that you are a Roman reenactor, or a with a certificate, that you are a Latinist, in order to receive the discount. BEFORE YOU WOULD DONATE, contact me and request your discount, and we will discuss the sending of your evidences.

By becoming a private equestrian, tribunus aerarius equestris, you receive the following extra rights:

• to use the title "tribunus aerarius equestris" (treasury tribune equestrian)
• to have 25 extra Census Points for as long as you maintain your yearly status
• to obtain membership automatically in a one degree higher class than your current class is, which means higher influence in Nova Roman elections
• to wear a tunica angusticlavia (a tunic decorated with a narrow purple stripe)

All you have to do is that WHEN YOU PAY YOUR DONATION FOR TAXES, instead of the basic 9 USD, you PAY at least 45 USD (27 if you are a Latinist or a reenactor) or more. Pay your taxes with this extra amount of donation, and you become a preliminary members of Equestrian Order. Send your equestrian donation to this PayPal address before 1 June:

dorka_mak@yahoo.com

VERY IMPORTANT: When you have sent the donation, please send a message to the consul immediately and specify the amount you donated. Only he can update your assiduus (taxpayer) status as a "good standing citizen". Send an email to him with your Roman name and specify how much you donated so it can be matched to records. Contact the consul Sex. Lucilius Tutor at:

If you don't inform the consul about your taxpayment donation, you will not receive assiduus status (taxpayer status), and you will not receive the treasury tribune dignity.
