Assiduus (Nova Roma)

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

An assiduus (assidua, female, assidui, plural), is a taxpayer citizen of Nova Roma.

An assiduus citizen is a member of the social elite of Nova Roma, a privilege open to all citizens who are dedicated enough to pay the small amount of "tax" (membership fee) of Nova Roma. Assiduus citizens are distributed into the 15 rural tribes (the remaining 4 urban tribes contain the capite census citizens) and into the 22 centuries of the 5 classes (one single century contains the capite censi). These distributions ensure that assidui have an overwhelming voting power in all comitia, but specially in the comitia centuriata.

Assuidui is defined in the lex Vedia de assiduis et capite censis but also in article I.C.9 of the lex Cornelia Domitia de re publica constituenda (constitution). The distribution of both assidui and capite censi is governed by the lex Arria Tullia de classibus et centuriis et de tribubus novis.

Current List of Assidui

The Assidui list is primarily updated each year at the conclusion of the tax collection period. The list is also updated through the course of the year with new citizens. If you are a new citizen or if you paid your taxes and are not shown on the list, contact the Nova Roma censorial office.

Previous use of this term in Nova Roma

Between L. Sulla (III) cos. sine collega ‡ MMDCCLXVI a.u.c.-Cn. Lentulo Alexandro T. Domitio cos. ‡ MMDCCLXIX a.u.c., only those taxpayers counted as assidui who had at least 16 or 17 census points. This meant that there were three categories:

• citizens who pay taxes and have more than 16 census points: these are termed assidui,
• citizens who pay taxes but don't have more than 16 census points: these are termed taxpayer capite censi
• citizens who don't pay taxes: these are termed non-taxpayer capite censi
