Consilium provinciae (Nova Roma)

 Home| Latíné | Deutsch | Español | Français | Italiano | Magyar | Português | Română | Русский | English

All members (legati and consiliari) of the consilium provinciae are part of the inner circle of the cohors propraetoris. All other officials appointed by the propraetor are parts of the outer circle of the cohors propraetoris. This does not mean that they lack in importance. On the contrary, they each have an important field of responsibility.

The whole cohors propraetoris is the modern equivalent of the followers of the provincial governor of Roma antiqua. The propraetor's retinue was in many respects a military one; they all acted in a foreign country that could be hostile. We will also act in a non-Roman country, but let's hope that it isn't a hostile one ;-)

As the governors of the old days, the propraetor expects a certain loyalty, discipline and unity from the cohors propraetoris. The members of the consilium provinciae should, as a kind of general's staff, set an example in this and all Roman behaviour to the rest of the cohors propraetoris.
