Consular edict on the electoral campaigns

CONSULAR EDICT ON THE ELECTORAL CAMPAIGNS

Preamble. This edict is issued in clarification of my previous edict of forum moderation.

I. Candidates are allowed to post a declaration of candidacy (campaign speech) to all public forums, including Facebook and Discord, but debate on their candidacies should be held, and support or opposition statements should be sent, to the Forum Novum Romanum Cassii or Main List.

II. The Twitch Channel of Nova Roma is not a forum, my previous edict didn't cover that venue of communication.

III. All requests for modifications or clarifications of my previous edicts related to forum policies should be directed to the four aediles as a body. I don't intend to intervene unless in case of emergency. The forums of Nova Roma belong under the aediles' supervision. Praetors and consuls can intervene only if the aediles are unable to handle a situation.

Edictum consulare de aedilibus forum moderantibus

EDICTUM CONSULARE DE AEDILIBUS FORUM MODERANTIBUS

According to the Senatus consultum ultimum de foro Novo Romano officiali, de foris publicis et de limitibus iuris publici, VIII.B, the consuls are ordered to issue an edict to allow the aediles to modify the consular edict on the rules of the Forum Novum Romanum. I am hereby issuing the edict ordered by the senate:

I. The aediles are hereby empowered by the consuls to overwrite my edict EDICTUM CONSULARE DE SERMONE ET MODERATIONE FORI (MAIN LIST MODERATION EDICT).

II. According to the orders of the senate in senatus consultum ultimum, the aediles make the rules of all public forums of Nova Roma, and henceforth the consules and praetores may interfere only in necessary cases. As the senate ordered, supervision, conflict resolution and administration of justice shall be the responsibility of the praetors, and the owners of any public forum must always comply with the decision of the state authorities. Complaints and controversies shall be judged by the legal procedures described by Nova Roman law, under the authority of the praetors as supervisor of public justice.

III. I order the aediles to revise the EDICTUM CONSULARE DE SERMONE ET MODERATIONE FORI and reissue it as soon as possible as an aedilician edict, addressing moderation policy in the two other public forums of Nova Roma as well.

IV. As it is election time, I remind all candidates that according to the Senatus consultum ultimum de foro Novo Romano officiali, de foris publicis et de limitibus iuris publici, the Main List of Nova Roma is the only official state forum of Nova Roma: their campaigns and the electoral debates shall be held in the Main List, also known as Forum Novum Romanum Cassii. The alternative community discussion forums are meant to be apolitical and mainly cultural and social, not political forums.

Edictum de Renovatione Tabularii

Edictum de Renovatione Tabularii

Preamble

Due to the illegal dictatorship and the mismanagement of digital assets, large portions of our website are still out-of-date or inaccurate. Having regained administration rights, we must seek to update and preserve information, which often stands as our only official record on many facets of our Republic. One important part of the website is the Tabularium. While we have a list of active leges, they are only ordered after the numeric they got once they were approved. This format can be difficult for many citizens to appreciate the interrelationships between all Nova Roma policy and legislation. The Tabularium will get an extensive renovation to make it more accessible and manageable in the future. The following changes will be implemented in the coming weeks:


I. The Tabularium will be streamlined into one mainpage/category, then outbranching to subcategories and subpages.

II. The Index Materiarum will be dissolved as it was rarely used and was never finished.

III. The Leges:

A. The Leges will be ordered in four different variations that can be searched:


- the Codex Juris Novae Romae that will sort the leges into libri of the corresponding Ius (into books corresponding with the respective legal topic of the leges).

- a Consolidated Library of Laws in which the leges are in one single page, allowing a keyword search of all leges simultaneously (utilising the keyboard function CTRL+F).

- the existing chronological lists of ‘all active laws’ and ‘all past laws’ will be maintained and updated as they already are.

- as a minor addition, a glossary of keywords (for example: Praetor, Cives, Magistrates, Senat) linking to the corresponding leges. B. The leges of the Codex Juris Novae Romae will contain all the leges ‘in-force’ and ratified leges (awaiting to be put in-force). Repealed leges will be conserved in the appendix (and in the above maintained list of ‘all past laws’).

C. Each lex will have a section for edicta that modify or expand it and for commentary in which you can find comments by Praetores or judges to help interpret the law. It will also contain links to past edicta that have since expired or become invalidated.

IV. Senatus Consulta et Senatus Consulta Ultima

The Senatus Consultae et Senatus Consultae Ultimae further described as Senatus Consultae will be maintained in the ordered yearly list as they are in the ‘Sessions of the Senate’. Links to impacted leges will be provided in the Codex alongside a short description of topics in the overview. In this short overview it will be detailed if they are still in effect or have since lost validity. V. Edicta

The edicta will be sorted like the Senatus Consulta, in a yearly list. The overview will also detail which magistrate issued each. In addition, to this you will find the corresponding edicta in the Leges subsections (when they deal with a lex). The list will differentiate between edicta of the Res Publica scale and that of the provinces. This will seek to satisfy the Lex Vedia altera de ratione edictorum. VI. Religious Texts

All religious edicta, commentaries and notation of the Collegia will be put in an own religious subcategory to be easily reached. They will be sorted corresponding to their stately counterparts. VII. Technical Terms

All technical terms will be presented in Latin with an English translation in parenthesis to encourage the professional use and memorisation of these terms. VIII. Forms and other Documents

Another Section of the Tabularium will contain the various forms of official status as well as treaties of the Res Publica IX. Assigned Staff

The renovation will be undertaken by the Praetores under the guidance of the Officium Rei Informaticae to uphold the standards of our IT-Infrastructure. Involved persons are namely, Decimus Aurelius Ingeniarius, Gnaeus Cornelius Lentulus, Lucia Silvia Vates and Gaius Artorius Praeconinus. Questions, additional advice and ideas can be sent to any of the involved individuals. If the renovation will not be complete before the election, it is suggested to the next Praetores to renew this Edict.

I. The previous EDICTUM PRAETORIUM C. ARTORII DE SPONSORIS FLAVIO will be altered. Specifically Paragraph IV will be altered to the following:

Edictum praetorium C. Artorii de sponsoris Flavio

EDICTUM PRAETORIUM C. ARTORII DE SPONSORIS FLAVIO

Preamble In the senate is at the moment a vote on an Initiative that is a bit of the timeessentiel site. Due to that and in correspondance with the Consules i issue this Edictum. We as Nova Roma, the inheritors of Nova Roma have the duty and obligation to further the cause of Romanitas and help honour those that follow the same cause. A few days ago a Professor ,that researched much and published much about Rome in the nowadays Provincia Germania and the Danube Valley, passed away. A renowned Reenactor of the Late Imperial Era will fullfill a mile long memory march in full gear in honour of the Professor. The Senate is now voting on giving a Sponsorship to said reenactor. Under the signs out of the Senate and from the Consul i have the honour to issue the following Edictum:


I. Nova Roma wishes to honor the memory and the great legacy of Prof. Dr. Hanssjörgen Ubl, to recognize and support the initiative of Geza Frank aka Flavius Stilicho and the Legio XIIII Comitatensis "Quartodecimani", the Ripenses Danubienses Project, and to contribute financially to the Professor Hannsjörg Ubl Danube Limes Memorial March and to further projects of Geza Frank aka Flavius Stilicho.

II. Hereby is created the "Professor Hannsjörg Ubl Danube Limes Memorial March Fund" that is fueled by money donated for this exact Fund towards the Treasury of Nova Roma.

III. The fundraising, the management of the "Professor Hannsjörg Ubl Danube Limes Memorial March Fund" and the sending of the donation of Nova Roma to Geza Frank aka Flavius Stilicho will be untertaken by the Officium Praetores with consular approval and support.

IV. A Paypal account will be made available in a seperate E-Mail and will stay open for donations forseven Days from the Email on forward. The State encourages all Citizens to donate at least a symbolic value towards the fund.

V. Should against all odds the Senate vote against the funding, all donations will be counted as private donations towards this endeavor.


I close with the hope that we will set a sign for all in the world to see as the Reenactor of course will name the Res Publica as a generous and helpfull donor.

Censeo Romam esse florendam.

Valete C. Artorius Praeconinus Praetor Legatus Provinciae Germaniae

Edictum praetorium C. Artorii de foris publicis

EDICTUM PRAETORIUM C. ARTORII DE FORIS PUBLICIS

Preamble Due to the slight upheaval of late in certain communication platforms, a topic has arisen that till now was not very important. Since the tyranny of an illegal self-proclaimed dictator the reputation of Nova Roma got damaged, and we are slowly rebuilding it. Sadly such a new blossoming flower can especially in the age of the internet be easily damaged. To safeguard the reputation of Nova Roma as an organisation, I issue this edictum after I have consulted the curator rei informaticae.

I. Every citizen has the right to open communication platforms as they see fit for gatherings, talks and so on. This is safeguarded by the leges of Nova Roma.

II. Every channel, platform or similar created by a private citizen alone has to be clearly distinguishable from official ways of communication of the Res Publica. This can be done through an attached descriptive word, for example "private", to the name "Nova Roma" or by not using the words "Nova Roma" or "official" or the use of the logo of Nova Roma in a misguiding way.

III. If a citizen talks about Nova Roma in another media platform, he is not allowed to pretend to be a magistrate, senator or otherwise elected or appointed officer.

This three rules should be clear and understandable. It safeguards the Reputation of Nova Roma as a whole against any unclear or prematured comments in groups that don't have a clearer insight into the Res Publica. I guarantues that every statement is visible as a personal opinion and not the opinion of the state.

The citizen Gaius Ausonius Nicolaus is hereby placed under moderation across all official Nova Roma fora for at least 2 Weeks.

The administration of the Discord Server will be kept posted on all new information regarding the case.
