It’s competition time again – win some Roman books to add to your library! THE COMPEITION IS OPEN NOW!<br />
<br />
It’s open to all Nova Roma citizens (members) of Provincia Australia, even if you already have a photo on the Album! Great opportunity to update it. <br />
<br />
We’ll judge the winner based on use of any Roman themed clothing, armour or apparel you wear, how Roman your background is and how quickly you submit compared to others. Note: We suggest only wearing angusticlavia or praetexta if entitled to do so. If you are not sure, please ask! A simple .jpeg or .png image, even from your smartphone, is suitable enough. <br />
<br />
Don’t have a toga or armour? That’s okay! Whatever you wear only has to look Roman. A wrapped bed sheet works well! Even if not white. And a simple headshot is fine also. <br />
<br />
Good luck and we await to see all your wonderful faces! You can see what is already submitted here: [[Provincia Australia - Citizens (Nova Roma)]] or on the Album itself: [http://www.novaroma.org/civitas/album Album Civium] <br />

==Republic of Rome Board Game Online==<br />
[[Image:Republic_of_Rome_Cover.jpg|frame|200px|right|Cover of ''Republic of Rome'' by Valley Games (2009).]] <br />
[[Image:Board_Game_Roll20_View.jpg|frame|600px|right|A bird's-eye view, zoomed out of the ''Republic of Rome'' by Valley Games (2009), board game hosted on Roll20.]]<br />
Hosted and facilitated by [[Decimus Aurelius Ingeniarius (Nova Roma)|D. Aurelius]] ''[[Governor_(Nova_Roma)|Propraetor]]'', an open invitation is made for all to join him in a Roman themed board game. Played via an online virtual tabletop platform (VTT), players will get to experience the political intrigue and challenges of managing the ancient Roman Republic. <br />
<br />
===Description===<br />
<br />
The Republic of Rome is an abstraction of over 250 years of history. It simulates the politics of the Roman Senate during the republic. The players take the part of various factions vying for the control of the senate. They control the various powerful families of the time, who compete for state offices, military command, economic concessions and new adherents. To win the player must get their faction to become the most powerful in Rome. While doing this, however, a balance must be maintained. A hostile world situation, and the vagaries of the public of Rome means that the players must also cooperate so that Rome herself doesn't go down under this pressure. If Rome does not last, neither does the senate, and all players lose!<br />
<br />
Players make proposals to the Senate which other players then vote on. A player's ability to make proposals is determined by which Offices his/her Senators hold. A player's influence in votes is determined by the number of Senators they have recruited and the level of influence those Senators have obtained. Proposals may include assigning Senators to governor provinces (generating revenue), recruiting an army to fight an external foe, addressing the concerns of the Roman people, assigning offices or prosecuting previous office holders. Players have to co-operate to overcome the various threats that the game sends against Rome (wars, famine, unrest, bankruptcy) whilst working to build their own Senators' and Generals' positions and undermine that of their opponents. A powerful General or an influential Senator may become Emperor (thus winning the game) but equally may suddenly fall to the plague or an assassin's blade.<br />

It’s competition time again – win some Roman books to add to your library! THE COMPEITION IS OPEN NOW!<br />
<br />
It’s open to all Nova Roma citizens (members) of Provincia Australia, even if you already have a photo on the Album! Great opportunity to update it. <br />
<br />
We’ll judge the winner based on use of any Roman themed clothing, armour or apparel you wear, how Roman your background is and how quickly you submit compared to others. Note: We suggest only wearing angusticlavia or praetexta if entitled to do so. If you are not sure, please ask! A simple .jpeg or .png image, even from your smartphone, is suitable enough. <br />
<br />
Don’t have a toga or armour? That’s okay! Whatever you wear only has to look Roman. A wrapped bed sheet works well! Even if not white. And a simple headshot is fine also. <br />
<br />
Good luck and we await to see all your wonderful faces! You can see what is already submitted here: [[Provincia Australia - Citizens (Nova Roma)]] or on the Album itself: [http://www.novaroma.org/civitas/album Album Civium] <br />

==Republic of Rome Board Game Online==<br />
[[Image:Republic_of_Rome_Cover.jpg|frame|200px|right|Cover of ''Republic of Rome'' by Valley Games (2009).]] <br />
[[Image:Board_Game_Roll20_View.jpg|frame|600px|right|A bird's-eye view, zoomed out of the ''Republic of Rome'' by Valley Games (2009), board game hosted on Roll20.]]<br />
Hosted and facilitated by [[Decimus Aurelius Ingeniarius (Nova Roma)|D. Aurelius]] ''[[Governor_(Nova_Roma)|Propraetor]]'', an open invitation is made for all to join him in a Roman themed board game. Played via an online virtual tabletop platform (VTT), players will get to experience the political intrigue and challenges of managing the ancient Roman Republic. <br />
<br />
===Description===<br />
<br />
The Republic of Rome is an abstraction of over 250 years of history. It simulates the politics of the Roman Senate during the republic. The players take the part of various factions vying for the control of the senate. They control the various powerful families of the time, who compete for state offices, military command, economic concessions and new adherents. To win the player must get their faction to become the most powerful in Rome. While doing this, however, a balance must be maintained. A hostile world situation, and the vagaries of the public of Rome means that the players must also cooperate so that Rome herself doesn't go down under this pressure. If Rome does not last, neither does the senate, and all players lose!<br />
<br />
Players make proposals to the Senate which other players then vote on. A player's ability to make proposals is determined by which Offices his/her Senators hold. A player's influence in votes is determined by the number of Senators they have recruited and the level of influence those Senators have obtained. Proposals may include assigning Senators to governor provinces (generating revenue), recruiting an army to fight an external foe, addressing the concerns of the Roman people, assigning offices or prosecuting previous office holders. Players have to co-operate to overcome the various threats that the game sends against Rome (wars, famine, unrest, bankruptcy) whilst working to build their own Senators' and Generals' positions and undermine that of their opponents. A powerful General or an influential Senator may become Emperor (thus winning the game) but equally may suddenly fall to the plague or an assassin's blade.<br />

It’s competition time again – win some Roman books to add to your library! THE COMPEITION IS OPEN NOW!<br />
<br />
It’s open to all Nova Roma citizens (members) of Provincia Australia, even if you already have a photo on the Album! Great opportunity to update it. <br />
<br />
We’ll judge the winner based on use of any Roman themed clothing, armour or apparel you wear, how Roman your background is and how quickly you submit compared to others. Note: We suggest only wearing angusticlavia or praetexta if entitled to do so. If you are not sure, please ask! A simple .jpeg or .png image, even from your smartphone, is suitable enough. <br />
<br />
Don’t have a toga or armour? That’s okay! Whatever you wear only has to look Roman. A wrapped bed sheet works well! Even if not white. And a simple headshot is fine also. <br />
<br />
Good luck and we await to see all your wonderful faces! You can see what is already submitted here: [[Provincia Australia - Citizens (Nova Roma)]] or on the Album itself: [http://www.novaroma.org/civitas/album Album Civium] <br />

==Republic of Rome Board Game Online==<br />
[[Image:Republic_of_Rome_Cover.jpg|frame|200px|right|Cover of ''Republic of Rome'' by Valley Games (2009).]] <br />
[[Image:Board_Game_Roll20_View.jpg|frame|600px|right|A bird's-eye view, zoomed out of the ''Republic of Rome'' by Valley Games (2009), board game hosted on Roll20.]]<br />
Hosted and facilitated by [[Decimus Aurelius Ingeniarius (Nova Roma)|D. Aurelius]] ''[[Governor_(Nova_Roma)|Propraetor]]'', an open invitation is made for all to join him in a Roman themed board game. Played via an online virtual tabletop platform (VTT), players will get to experience the political intrigue and challenges of managing the ancient Roman Republic. <br />
<br />
===Description===<br />
<br />
The Republic of Rome is an abstraction of over 250 years of history. It simulates the politics of the Roman Senate during the republic. The players take the part of various factions vying for the control of the senate. They control the various powerful families of the time, who compete for state offices, military command, economic concessions and new adherents. To win the player must get their faction to become the most powerful in Rome. While doing this, however, a balance must be maintained. A hostile world situation, and the vagaries of the public of Rome means that the players must also cooperate so that Rome herself doesn't go down under this pressure. If Rome does not last, neither does the senate, and all players lose!<br />
<br />
Players make proposals to the Senate which other players then vote on. A player's ability to make proposals is determined by which Offices his/her Senators hold. A player's influence in votes is determined by the number of Senators they have recruited and the level of influence those Senators have obtained. Proposals may include assigning Senators to governor provinces (generating revenue), recruiting an army to fight an external foe, addressing the concerns of the Roman people, assigning offices or prosecuting previous office holders. Players have to co-operate to overcome the various threats that the game sends against Rome (wars, famine, unrest, bankruptcy) whilst working to build their own Senators' and Generals' positions and undermine that of their opponents. A powerful General or an influential Senator may become Emperor (thus winning the game) but equally may suddenly fall to the plague or an assassin's blade.<br />

It’s competition time again – win some Roman books to add to your library! THE COMPEITION IS OPEN NOW!<br />
<br />
It’s open to all Nova Roma citizens (members) of Provincia Australia, even if you already have a photo on the Album! Great opportunity to update it. <br />
<br />
We’ll judge the winner based on use of any Roman themed clothing, armour or apparel you wear, how Roman your background is and how quickly you submit compared to others. Note: We suggest only wearing angusticlavia or praetexta if entitled to do so. If you are not sure, please ask! A simple .jpeg or .png image, even from your smartphone, is suitable enough. <br />
<br />
Don’t have a toga or armour? That’s okay! Whatever you wear only has to look Roman. A wrapped bed sheet works well! Even if not white. And a simple headshot is fine also. <br />
<br />
Good luck and we await to see all your wonderful faces! You can see what is already submitted here: [[Provincia Australia - Citizens (Nova Roma)]] or on the Album itself: [http://www.novaroma.org/civitas/album Album Civium] <br />

==Republic of Rome Board Game Online==<br />
[[Image:Republic_of_Rome_Cover.jpg|frame|200px|right|Cover of ''Republic of Rome'' by Valley Games (2009).]] <br />
[[Image:Board_Game_Roll20_View.jpg|frame|600px|right|A bird's-eye view, zoomed out of the ''Republic of Rome'' by Valley Games (2009), board game hosted on Roll20.]]<br />
Hosted and facilitated by [[Decimus Aurelius Ingeniarius (Nova Roma)|D. Aurelius]] ''[[Governor_(Nova_Roma)|Propraetor]]'', an open invitation is made for all to join him in a Roman themed board game. Played via an online virtual tabletop platform (VTT), players will get to experience the political intrigue and challenges of managing the ancient Roman Republic. <br />
<br />
===Description===<br />
<br />
The Republic of Rome is an abstraction of over 250 years of history. It simulates the politics of the Roman Senate during the republic. The players take the part of various factions vying for the control of the senate. They control the various powerful families of the time, who compete for state offices, military command, economic concessions and new adherents. To win the player must get their faction to become the most powerful in Rome. While doing this, however, a balance must be maintained. A hostile world situation, and the vagaries of the public of Rome means that the players must also cooperate so that Rome herself doesn't go down under this pressure. If Rome does not last, neither does the senate, and all players lose!<br />
<br />
Players make proposals to the Senate which other players then vote on. A player's ability to make proposals is determined by which Offices his/her Senators hold. A player's influence in votes is determined by the number of Senators they have recruited and the level of influence those Senators have obtained. Proposals may include assigning Senators to governor provinces (generating revenue), recruiting an army to fight an external foe, addressing the concerns of the Roman people, assigning offices or prosecuting previous office holders. Players have to co-operate to overcome the various threats that the game sends against Rome (wars, famine, unrest, bankruptcy) whilst working to build their own Senators' and Generals' positions and undermine that of their opponents. A powerful General or an influential Senator may become Emperor (thus winning the game) but equally may suddenly fall to the plague or an assassin's blade.<br />
<br />

It’s competition time again – win some Roman books to add to your library! THE COMPEITION IS OPEN NOW!<br />
<br />
It’s open to all Nova Roma citizens (members) of Provincia Australia, even if you already have a photo on the Album! Great opportunity to update it. <br />
<br />
We’ll judge the winner based on use of any Roman themed clothing, armour or apparel you wear, how Roman your background is and how quickly you submit compared to others. Note: We suggest only wearing angusticlavia or praetexta if entitled to do so. If you are not sure, please ask! A simple .jpeg or .png image, even from your smartphone, is suitable enough. <br />
<br />
Don’t have a toga or armour? That’s okay! Whatever you wear only has to look Roman. A wrapped bed sheet works well! Even if not white. And a simple headshot is fine also. <br />
<br />
Good luck and we await to see all your wonderful faces! You can see what is already submitted here: [[Provincia Australia - Citizens (Nova Roma)]] or on the Album itself: [http://www.novaroma.org/civitas/album Album Civium] <br />

==Republic of Rome Board Game Online==<br />
[[Image:Republic_of_Rome_Cover.jpg|frame|200px|right|Cover of ''Republic of Rome'' by Valley Games (2009).]] <br />
[[Image:Board_Game_Roll20_View.jpg|frame|600px|right|A bird's-eye view, zoomed out of the ''Republic of Rome'' by Valley Games (2009), board game hosted on Roll20.]]<br />
Hosted and facilitated by [[Decimus Aurelius Ingeniarius (Nova Roma)|D. Aurelius]] ''[[Governor_(Nova_Roma)|Propraetor]]'', an open invitation is made for all to join him in a Roman themed board game. Played via an online virtual tabletop platform (VTT), players will get to experience the political intrigue and challenges of managing the ancient Roman Republic. <br />
<br />
===Description===<br />
<br />
The Republic of Rome is an abstraction of over 250 years of history. It simulates the politics of the Roman Senate during the republic. The players take the part of various factions vying for the control of the senate. They control the various powerful families of the time, who compete for state offices, military command, economic concessions and new adherents. To win the player must get their faction to become the most powerful in Rome. While doing this, however, a balance must be maintained. A hostile world situation, and the vagaries of the public of Rome means that the players must also cooperate so that Rome herself doesn't go down under this pressure. If Rome does not last, neither does the senate, and all players lose!<br />
<br />
Players make proposals to the Senate which other players then vote on. A player's ability to make proposals is determined by which Offices his/her Senators hold. A player's influence in votes is determined by the number of Senators they have recruited and the level of influence those Senators have obtained. Proposals may include assigning Senators to governor provinces (generating revenue), recruiting an army to fight an external foe, addressing the concerns of the Roman people, assigning offices or prosecuting previous office holders. Players have to co-operate to overcome the various threats that the game sends against Rome (wars, famine, unrest, bankruptcy) whilst working to build their own Senators' and Generals' positions and undermine that of their opponents. A powerful General or an influential Senator may become Emperor (thus winning the game) but equally may suddenly fall to the plague or an assassin's blade.<br />

== BIOGRAPHY ==<br />
[[File:Agricola Roman sites visited NR.jpg|600px|thumb|right|Roman sites visited by Scepsis Agricola]]In his home country, Australia, Scepsis Agricola earned his Post Graduate Diploma in International Trade. Whilst always having an affinity with the land, being the son of an immigrant Italian farmer, he lived the first 18 years of life on a vineyard in rural Victoria, Australia. It wasn’t until 2010 that Scepsis Agricola’s interest in the ancient Roman Republic was awakened.<br />
<br />
Commencing with private reading and research of Roman military history and leaders, Scepsis Agricola has also studied specific online courses including “Hadrian's Wall: Life on the Roman Frontier” by the UK’s Newcastle University, “The Fall of the Roman Republic” by Colorado State University and “Archaeology of Portus” University of Southampton.[[File:Scepsis_Agricola_Legio_X_Aquilifer.jpg|236px|thumb|left|Scepsis Agricola - Legio X Aquilifer]]<br />
<br />
<br />
In 2015, Scepsis Agricola visited Rome for the first time and felt an instant connection, resulting in him making the 23 hour long pilgrimage from Melbourne, Australia, to Rome again in 2016 spending a week in the Italian capitol, 300 meters from the ancient Forum. Scepsis Agricola has the ambition of visiting as many Roman archaeological sites as possible in his lifetime.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 2017, Scepsis Agricola joined the newly founded Roman reenactment group [https://www.ancientrrv.com/ Ancient Roman Re-enactors Victoria (ARRV)] and assumed the administrative role of Treasurer. Drawn to the military arm of ARRV, Legio X Fretensis, Scepsis Agricola quickly rose to the rank of Aquilifer. Under his guidance and leadership, ARRV grew to become a multidimensional representation of Ancient Rome, including civilian as well as military aspects. ARRV's commitment to historical accuracy has enabled the group to host civilian and military living history displays. ARRV was welcomed by the National Museum of Australia in January 2019 to form a supplementary part of the feature British Museum exhibit "Rome: City and Empire". Under Scepsis Agricola's contribution and drive, ARRV established a cooperative arrangement with the Faculty of Arts from Australia's leading university, [//https://youtu.be/80jYxWD19S8/The University of Melbourne], to establish a living history display to promote their Ancient World Studies course to prospective future students.<br />
<br />
<br />

== BIOGRAPHY ==<br />
[[File:Agricola Roman sites visited NR.jpg|600px|thumb|right|Roman sites visited by Scepsis Agricola]]In his home country, Australia, Scepsis Agricola earned his Post Graduate Diploma in International Trade. Whilst always having an affinity with the land, being the son of an immigrant Italian farmer, he lived the first 18 years of life on a vineyard in rural Victoria, Australia. It wasn’t until 2010 that Scepsis Agricola’s interest in the ancient Roman Republic was awakened.<br />
<br />
Commencing with private reading and research of Roman military history and leaders, Scepsis Agricola has also studied specific online courses including “Hadrian's Wall: Life on the Roman Frontier” by the UK’s Newcastle University, “The Fall of the Roman Republic” by Colorado State University and “Archaeology of Portus” University of Southampton.[[File:Scepsis_Agricola_Legio_X_Aquilifer.jpg|236px|thumb|left|Scepsis Agricola - Legio X Aquilifer]]<br />
<br />
<br />
In 2015, Scepsis Agricola visited Rome for the first time and felt an instant connection, resulting in him making the 23 hour long pilgrimage from Melbourne, Australia, to Rome again in 2016 spending a week in the Italian capitol, 300 meters from the ancient Forum. Scepsis Agricola has the ambition of visiting as many Roman archaeological sites as possible in his lifetime.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 2017, Scepsis Agricola joined the newly founded Roman reenactment group [https://www.ancientrrv.com/ Ancient Roman Re-enactors Victoria (ARRV)] and assumed the administrative role of Treasurer. Drawn to the military arm of ARRV, Legio X Fretensis, Scepsis Agricola quickly rose to the rank of Aquilifer. Under his guidance and leadership, ARRV grew to become a multidimensional representation of Ancient Rome, including civilian as well as military aspects. ARRV's commitment to historical accuracy has enabled the group to host civilian and military living history displays. ARRV was welcomed by the National Museum of Australia in January 2019 to form a supplementary part of the feature British Museum exhibit "Rome: City and Empire". Under Scepsis Agricola's contribution and drive, ARRV established a cooperative arrangement with the Faculty of Arts from Australia's leading university, [//https://youtu.be/80jYxWD19S8/The University of Melbourne], to establish a living history display to promote their Ancient World Studies course to prospective future students.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In late 2019 Scepsis Agricola met with D. Aurelius Ingeniarius, Legatus Pro Praetore Australiae of Provincia Australia, who introduced him to Nova Roma and in March 2020 he became a citizen. Since joining, Scepsis Agricola has been diligently working under the direction of the Legatus Pro Praetore in re-organising the civic life and promoting activity of Nova Roman Provincia Australia.<br />

<div>=Preamble= <br />
<br />
The Nova Roman people enacts the following law regarding the assessment of the citizens' census as their estimated civic worth, their cultural and organizational wealth held in Nova Roman society, superseding the ''lex Cornelia de punctis censualibus''. The form of government of the Old Roman Republic was aristocratic by plutocracy, the New Roman Republic is aristocratic by meritocracy. This law ensures that the meritocratic principles, and not money and birth, define influence and place in our revived Roman people. Accordingly, the purpose of this law is to encourage and reward merit, such as service to the ''res publica'', work and productive activity, especially conventions and live programs of citizens, intellectual contribution and financial contribution to Nova Roma, and the noble effort of citizens to participate in all areas of Roman studies and Latin, the language of the Roman people, rewarding certified, demonstrated knowledge and expertise that are essential in the educational and historical mission of Nova Roma to restore and promote Roman culture.<br />
<br />
=I. Census Points=<br />
<br />
'''I.A.''' In ancient Rome, citizens were said ''"censum habere"'' i.e. "to possess the census of" (followed by the estimated amount of money), and this census (meaning "wealth", "value") classified them as members across five classes or the equestrian order. In Nova Roma, our "wealth", our "census" is our merit accrued through our service and contribution toward our sacred goals, and through our knowledge about ancient Rome, our expertise in studies and practices that can help bring Romanitas to life and spread Roman culture and virtues across the world. The wealth of a Nova Roman citizen is the citizen's merits toward this mission. These merits reflect a citizen's service toward the republic which embodies this spiritual and educational mission. The assessment of the census (the "wealth in Romanitas") of the Nova Roman citizens is measured in Census Points (''Censualia Puncta'') which are merit points given for contributions towards various aspects of Nova Roma according to the aforementioned motivations of this law. Census Points are divided into the categories of Service Points, Treasury Points, Status Points, Activity Points, Award Points and Cultural Points so that all relevant areas of civic life can be assessed and valued.<br />
<br />
'''I.B.''' The assessment, registration and accounting of Census Points are the duty of the censors as part of their powers. It shall be the responsibility of each citizen to review their Census Point account and ensure that all of their offices, statuses, titles, awards, and acquired points are represented. The censors shall strive to be as accurate as they can be, but it is only with the active cooperation and involvement of citizens that the censors can ensure the records are as close to perfection as possible.<br />
<br />
=II. Supervision and protection of Census Points=<br />
<br />
'''II.A.''' The censors are the supreme authority over the assessment of the Census Points of citizens, the supreme guardians and judges of the Census Point system. If any of the censors suspects a misuse of the Census Points, such as accumulative and unnecessary appointments of friends as officers in order to promote them in the social hierarchy, suspicious or accumulative appointments without any evidence of real work involved, unmerited Census Point awards, or corrupt motivations, the censor is responsible to bring the case to the panel of quaestors, as described at II.C, or directly to Nova Roman court if the censor is absolutely convinced and deem that no preliminary investigation is needed.<br />
<br />
'''II.B.''' If, during exercising the regimen morum (supervision of public morality) in their power, the censors collegially determine that the citizen in question lost his reputation due to ignominious, disgraceful behavior and infamy, they can rescind those Award Point issues which they find unmerited, disgraced and undeserved. Such a penalty cannot be reversed just by the censors or by a lex. The censors can rescind Award Points only, but cannot rescind other types of Census Points without referring the case to the panel of quaestors first, or to a Nova Roman Court.<br />
<br />
'''II.C.''' '''The Census Point Jury Panel of Quaestors.''' In order to ensure maximum safety and fairness of the Census Point system, the quaestors are also collectively entrusted with the surveillance and protection of the integrity of the Census Point assignments. In case a quaestor suspects any abuse of the Census Point system, as described at II.A., the quaestors as a collective panel shall investigate, judge, and report the case to the censors. If the majority of the quaestors determine that an appointment of an officer or another type of allocation of Census Points has been made out of corrupt motivations, the Census Points in question shall not be counted for the citizen, and the quaestors shall bring the case to the praetor who shall determine if there is a need for a legal process against the abusers. A citizen who has lost Census Points due to the decision of the panel of the quaestors can also appeal to court if the citizen is convinced about the righteousness of his or her case. If both censors disagree with the decision of the quaestorial panel, they can jointly overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel if, at the same time, they refer the case to a Nova Roman court for a decision regarding the allocation of Census Points or the potential criminality of the involved parties. One censor alone cannot overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel, and the overturning of the panel’s decision can only take effect once the case has been referred to Nova Roman court.<br />
<br />
'''II.D.''' In case there is any doubt regarding the interpretation of the regulations and instructions in this law or the supervision, protections, functioning and mechanisms of the Census Point system, the censors shall decide the interpretation by edict.<br />
<br />
=III. Categories of Census Points=<br />
<br />
==III.A. Service Points==<br />
<br />
'''III.A.1.''' There shall be two types of Service Points, Past Service Points and Current Office Service Points, which are of the same amount, with the following exception: for the duration of service Current Office Service Points include an extra amount of Census Points to magistrates in order to enhance their social status and influence during their tenure of office which helps them in creating a stable government. Other officers don't receive an extra amount of Census Points for their Current Office Service Points. Past Service Points are given to all officers for past offices.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.2.''' Service points are given per terms if the position has a fixed time term. If the position is repeated by prorogation, each started prorogation counts as a new term. If the title of a governor changes, it does not count as a new term. Only a new appointment or a new prorogation counts as a new term.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.3.''' If the position has an indefinite term, excepting governors, or linked to the superior's term, Service Points (either Current Office or Past) are calculated cumulatively after each completed one year period (12 months): the first amount is given at the moment of appointment (as Current Office Service Point), the second after starting the next year (one amount for Current Office, another for Past), the third after starting the third year (one amount for Current Office, two amounts for Past) etc. Governors may not receive additional Census Points for a longer than 12 month service without prorogation. The term of apparitors and other lower officers appointed by higher officers, if not otherwise defined in the appointment, is considered to be the same as the term of their appointing superior, or the date when the appointing superior honorably discharges his lower officer. Honorable discharge is not considered removal from office, but completion of term.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.4.''' If an officer serves only part of the term of office, only partial Census Points shall be given. The amount of Census Points shall be based on three-month increments rounding down (one partial amount for each completed three month period, plus one amount equal to a three-month partial amount in addition just for entering office), calculated from the original length of the full term of their office. In case of officers with indefinite or flexible term of office, the full length of the term of office shall be considered one year (12 months). If, before the time of prorogations, a governor resigns against the will of the senate or is removed from office, the governor receives only partial Past Service Points which shall be calculated based on how many months he spent in service, as described in the previous sentence, but not more than what is due for 12 months. If the governor resigns or is removed after 12 months in office, they shall receive no more than what is due for one full term. Resignation, when it is a traditional stepping down from office due to custom, does not count as a resignation: the resignation of extraordinary magistrates, the dictator, magister equitum, or of other extraordinary officers appointed for a task with a term but having finished the task sooner, or the resignation of a censor after the death or resignation of their colleague do not count as resignations but complete terms.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.5.''' In case of positions for life, priesthoods (except provincial priest), senate membership etc., Status Points are given instead of Service Points, see section III.B.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.6.''' The senate shall have the authority to issue points for special positions, for new officers or other positions not included in the lex, as well as rewards for special services performed on behalf of the State.<br />

<br />
:'''Equestrian Order''':<br />
:4 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
'''Senatorial Order''':<br />
:10 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
:'''Municipal Decurionate Order''':<br />
:5 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
'''III.B.3.b.''' The status of the first knight of the Equestrian Order of Nova Roma, designated so by the censors during census and the ''recognitio equitum'', shall be recognized by the following Status Points:<br />
<br />
:'''Princeps Iuventutis'''<br />
:400 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
'''III.B.3.b.''' The status of the first senator of the senate of Nova Roma, designated so by the censors during census, shall be recognized by the following Status Points:<br />
<br />
:'''Princeps Senatus''':<br />
:1000 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
==III.C. Treasury Points==<br />
<br />
Treasury Points are given as a reward for special contributions to the Nova Roman treasury during taxation periods and serve to help establish a proper restoration of the equestrian order in Nova Roma.<br />
<br />
'''III.C.1.''' Smaller donations (5 times the basic tax) are recognized as preliminary membership in the equestrian order, and recognized with the title ''“tribunus aerarius equestris”'', and an advancement by one class upwards; large donations (15 times the basic tax) are rewarded with full membership in the private equestrian order:<br />
<br />
:'''Citizens paying 5 times the basic tax (3 times the basic tax for Roman reenactors and officially certified Latinists)''':<br />
:25 CP Treasury Points plus the title ''tribunus aerarius equestris<br />
''<br />
:'''Citizens paying 15 times the basic tax (9 times the basic tax for Roman reenactors and officially certified Latinists)''':<br />
:400 CP Treasury Points plus the title ''eques equo privato''<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.''' Reenactors and certified Latinists shall receive the same amounts of Treasury Points and honors for a slightly smaller amount of donation (for 3 and 9 times the basic tax). The reasoning for the reduction in case of reenactors is that reenactors might more pressingly need the authorization to wear equestrian insignia at events where they also promote and represent Nova Roma. The reduction in the required donation is therefore justified by the service they do for Nova Roma in the field, and by the fact that they are more likely than non-reenactors to buy the equestrian clothing and insignia which imposes upon them additional costs above the donation. The reasoning for the reduction in case of Latinists is that they are vital and integral in the mission of Nova Roma to restore the Roman people, because without the Roman language, there is no Roman people, and accordingly Nova Roma wishes to raise the status of accomplished Latinists within the society.<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.a.''' '''Reenactors''' can be recognized as such by presenting photographic evidence to the censors and registering the name of the reenactment group where they belong (if there’s any). Reenactors applying for this reduction agree that the presented photographs can be used in publications of the websites and internet pages of Nova Roma.<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.b.''' '''Latinists''' can be recognized as such by presenting the censors a certification, obtained through a Latin examination by a Nova Roman educational institution, or outside Nova Roma, which proves Latin fluency in writing. In the absence of such a document, the censors can assign the task of examination to a Nova Roman committee of Latin teachers, described at III.D.1.b.ii., who shall decide if the applicant for the status of Latinist may be qualified as having Latin fluency in writing.<br />
<br />
==III.D. Cultural Points==<br />

This recognition shall be given to citizens whose association to Nova Roma can make Nova Roma more famous and more respected. Such recognition shall be entirely within the judgement of the censors collegiately, subject to potential rejection by the quaestorial panel of Census Point jury. The censorial decision must be made in edict, in which the censors must explain the significance of the achievement and why the citizen in question deserves special treatment and advancement in status. Alternatively, the senate can make such a recognition. Activity Points for a serious accomplishment can be awarded more than once for more accomplishments.<br />

<br />
:'''Pater Patriae''':<br />
:1000 CP Award Points<br />
<br />
=IV. Census Point Deductions=<br />
<br />
Census points can be deducted from citizens as measures defined by law in order to discourage certain behaviors and in order that the Census Points may not only accumulate but also decrease in justified cases, which creates a more balanced pattern determined by the sense of duty and commitment of the citizens.<br />
<br />
'''IV.A.''' '''Deduction for non-payment of taxes:''' After each year that tax is not paid, the citizen shall receive a 100 CP deduction, until the census of the citizen reaches 0 CP. This deduction shall be calculated only when the citizen makes the first new payment after the hiatus. The citizen receives this deduction for the first new payment. When the citizen consecutively pays their tax again in the next year, they will start receiving back +25 CP for each new year of taxes paid, eventually reverting all the deductions for non-payment. When, after any payment hiatus, the citizen has paid continuously for five consecutive years (in the 5th year after the hiatus), they will receive back all remaining deducted CP at once.<br />
<br />
:Examples:<br />
<br />
:Citizen “A” has 64 CP, and misses paying taxes for a 6 year period from 2015-2020. He pays taxes in the year of 2021, and as is required, he is deducted -600 CP for missing the previous 6 years. CP can’t be lower than 0, so he now has 0 CP for 2021. The next year he pays for 2022 and receives back the first +25 CP. He will now have 25 CP in total in 2022, If he pays again in 2023, he will have received back 50 CP. A fourth consecutive payment in 2024 will result in the receipt of only 14 more CP, because he cannot receive more than the amount which he lost by deductions (64). Citizen “A” will have received all 64 CP back by 2024.<br />
<br />
:Citizen “B” has 135 CP, and misses paying taxes for a 2 year period from 2019-2020. He pays taxes in the year of 2021, and as is required, is deducted -200 CP. Citizen “B” will now have 0 CP in 2021. Then he pays his taxes for 2022 and then receives back his first +25 CP. He will now have 25 CP in total in 2022. If he pays again in 2023, he will have received back 50 CP. A fourth consecutive payment in 2024 will result in the accumulation of 75 CP. Paying taxes again in 2025, however, he will receive back the remaining CP to the original 135 CP. All deducted CP is reimbursed at the time of the 5th uninterrupted year of tax payment.''<br />
<br />
'''IV.B.''' '''Renouncing citizenship or failing to answer the census:''' Citizens who renounce their citizenship or who fails to register on the census loses all CP. They can regain all CP back in the same manner as described above regarding the deduction for non-payment of taxes (in a maximum 5 year process).<br />
<br />
=V. Final Provisions=<br />
<br />
As the applicability of this law depends on the technical realization and programming of the of Census Points system in the infrastructure of the Album Civium (citizen database) website, this lex will take force only after the ''curator rei informaticae'' determines that the provisions of this law have been built into the Album Civium. At that time, an edict will be promulgated by the ''curator rei informaticae'' putting this law into effect.</div>Gaius Sempronius Scepsis Agricolahttp://novaroma.org/nr/Lex_Arria_de_censu_civium_aestimando_(Nova_Roma)Lex Arria de censu civium aestimando (Nova Roma)2021-11-09T11:01:25Z<p>Gaius Sempronius Scepsis Agricola: </p>
<hr />
<div>=Preamble= <br />
<br />
The Nova Roman people enacts the following law regarding the assessment of the citizens' census as their estimated civic worth, their cultural and organizational wealth held in Nova Roman society, superseding the ''lex Cornelia de punctis censualibus''. The form of government of the Old Roman Republic was aristocratic by plutocracy, the New Roman Republic is aristocratic by meritocracy. This law ensures that the meritocratic principles, and not money and birth, define influence and place in our revived Roman people. Accordingly, the purpose of this law is to encourage and reward merit, such as service to the ''res publica'', work and productive activity, especially conventions and live programs of citizens, intellectual contribution and financial contribution to Nova Roma, and the noble effort of citizens to participate in all areas of Roman studies and Latin, the language of the Roman people, rewarding certified, demonstrated knowledge and expertise that are essential in the educational and historical mission of Nova Roma to restore and promote Roman culture.<br />
<br />
=I. Census Points=<br />
<br />
'''I.A.''' In ancient Rome, citizens were said ''"censum habere"'' i.e. "to possess the census of" (followed by the estimated amount of money), and this census (meaning "wealth", "value") classified them as members across five classes or the equestrian order. In Nova Roma, our "wealth", our "census" is our merit accrued through our service and contribution toward our sacred goals, and through our knowledge about ancient Rome, our expertise in studies and practices that can help bring Romanitas to life and spread Roman culture and virtues across the world. The wealth of a Nova Roman citizen is the citizen's merits toward this mission. These merits reflect a citizen's service toward the republic which embodies this spiritual and educational mission. The assessment of the census (the "wealth in Romanitas") of the Nova Roman citizens is measured in Census Points (''Censualia Puncta'') which are merit points given for contributions towards various aspects of Nova Roma according to the aforementioned motivations of this law. Census Points are divided into the categories of Service Points, Treasury Points, Status Points, Activity Points, Award Points and Cultural Points so that all relevant areas of civic life can be assessed and valued.<br />
<br />
'''I.B.''' The assessment, registration and accounting of Census Points are the duty of the censors as part of their powers. It shall be the responsibility of each citizen to review their Census Point account and ensure that all of their offices, statuses, titles, awards, and acquired points are represented. The censors shall strive to be as accurate as they can be, but it is only with the active cooperation and involvement of citizens that the censors can ensure the records are as close to perfection as possible.<br />
<br />
=II. Supervision and protection of Census Points=<br />
<br />
'''II.A.''' The censors are the supreme authority over the assessment of the Census Points of citizens, the supreme guardians and judges of the Census Point system. If any of the censors suspects a misuse of the Census Points, such as accumulative and unnecessary appointments of friends as officers in order to promote them in the social hierarchy, suspicious or accumulative appointments without any evidence of real work involved, unmerited Census Point awards, or corrupt motivations, the censor is responsible to bring the case to the panel of quaestors, as described at II.C, or directly to Nova Roman court if the censor is absolutely convinced and deem that no preliminary investigation is needed.<br />
<br />
'''II.B.''' If, during exercising the regimen morum (supervision of public morality) in their power, the censors collegially determine that the citizen in question lost his reputation due to ignominious, disgraceful behavior and infamy, they can rescind those Award Point issues which they find unmerited, disgraced and undeserved. Such a penalty cannot be reversed just by the censors or by a lex. The censors can rescind Award Points only, but cannot rescind other types of Census Points without referring the case to the panel of quaestors first, or to a Nova Roman Court.<br />
<br />
'''II.C.''' '''The Census Point Jury Panel of Quaestors.''' In order to ensure maximum safety and fairness of the Census Point system, the quaestors are also collectively entrusted with the surveillance and protection of the integrity of the Census Point assignments. In case a quaestor suspects any abuse of the Census Point system, as described at II.A., the quaestors as a collective panel shall investigate, judge, and report the case to the censors. If the majority of the quaestors determine that an appointment of an officer or another type of allocation of Census Points has been made out of corrupt motivations, the Census Points in question shall not be counted for the citizen, and the quaestors shall bring the case to the praetor who shall determine if there is a need for a legal process against the abusers. A citizen who has lost Census Points due to the decision of the panel of the quaestors can also appeal to court if the citizen is convinced about the righteousness of his or her case. If both censors disagree with the decision of the quaestorial panel, they can jointly overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel if, at the same time, they refer the case to a Nova Roman court for a decision regarding the allocation of Census Points or the potential criminality of the involved parties. One censor alone cannot overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel, and the overturning of the panel’s decision can only take effect once the case has been referred to Nova Roman court.<br />
<br />
'''II.D.''' In case there is any doubt regarding the interpretation of the regulations and instructions in this law or the supervision, protections, functioning and mechanisms of the Census Point system, the censors shall decide the interpretation by edict.<br />
<br />
=III. Categories of Census Points=<br />
<br />
==III.A. Service Points==<br />
<br />
'''III.A.1.''' There shall be two types of Service Points, Past Service Points and Current Office Service Points, which are of the same amount, with the following exception: for the duration of service Current Office Service Points include an extra amount of Census Points to magistrates in order to enhance their social status and influence during their tenure of office which helps them in creating a stable government. Other officers don't receive an extra amount of Census Points for their Current Office Service Points. Past Service Points are given to all officers for past offices.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.2.''' Service points are given per terms if the position has a fixed time term. If the position is repeated by prorogation, each started prorogation counts as a new term. If the title of a governor changes, it does not count as a new term. Only a new appointment or a new prorogation counts as a new term.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.3.''' If the position has an indefinite term, excepting governors, or linked to the superior's term, Service Points (either Current Office or Past) are calculated cumulatively after each completed one year period (12 months): the first amount is given at the moment of appointment (as Current Office Service Point), the second after starting the next year (one amount for Current Office, another for Past), the third after starting the third year (one amount for Current Office, two amounts for Past) etc. Governors may not receive additional Census Points for a longer than 12 month service without prorogation. The term of apparitors and other lower officers appointed by higher officers, if not otherwise defined in the appointment, is considered to be the same as the term of their appointing superior, or the date when the appointing superior honorably discharges his lower officer. Honorable discharge is not considered removal from office, but completion of term.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.4.''' If an officer serves only part of the term of office, only partial Census Points shall be given. The amount of Census Points shall be based on three-month increments rounding down (one partial amount for each completed three month period, plus one amount equal to a three-month partial amount in addition just for entering office), calculated from the original length of the full term of their office. In case of officers with indefinite or flexible term of office, the full length of the term of office shall be considered one year (12 months). If, before the time of prorogations, a governor resigns against the will of the senate or is removed from office, the governor receives only partial Past Service Points which shall be calculated based on how many months he spent in service, as described in the previous sentence, but not more than what is due for 12 months. If the governor resigns or is removed after 12 months in office, they shall receive no more than what is due for one full term. Resignation, when it is a traditional stepping down from office due to custom, does not count as a resignation: the resignation of extraordinary magistrates, the dictator, magister equitum, or of other extraordinary officers appointed for a task with a term but having finished the task sooner, or the resignation of a censor after the death or resignation of their colleague do not count as resignations but complete terms.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.5.''' In case of positions for life, priesthoods (except provincial priest), senate membership etc., Status Points are given instead of Service Points, see section III.B.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.6.''' The senate shall have the authority to issue points for special positions, for new officers or other positions not included in the lex, as well as rewards for special services performed on behalf of the State.<br />

==III.B Status Points==<br />
<br />
Status Points are a category of Census Points which are not given for the time spent in service, for terms of office, or for the service per se, because they are meant to be given once and for all, for life.

'''III.B.2.b.''' In recognition of their sacred duty of reviving and attending the family cultus of the noble dynasties they are restoring to life, citizens of nobilis consular family names (nomen and cognomen combination) shall receive one Census Point for their status. Nobilis consular family names shall be considered those which were borne by at least one consul of the old republic and empire, or of the new republic (title starting with the offspring):<br />
<br />
:'''Nobilitas Consularis''':<br />
:1 CP Status Point<br />
<br />
'''III.B.2.c.'''

<br />
===III.B.3. STATUS POINTS FOR ORDERS===<br />
<br />

<br />
:'''Equestrian Order''':<br />

<br />
:'''Municipal Decurionate Order''':<br />
:5 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
'''III.B.3.b.''' The status of the first knight of the Equestrian Order of Nova Roma, designated so by the censors during census and the ''recognitio equitum'', shall be recognized by the following Status Points:<br />
<br />
:'''Princeps Iuventutis'''<br />
:400 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
'''III.B.3.b.''' The status of the first senator of the senate of Nova Roma, designated so by the censors during census, shall be recognized by the following Status Points:<br />
<br />
:'''Princeps Senatus''':<br />
:1000 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
==III.C. Treasury Points==<br />
<br />
Treasury Points are given as a reward for special contributions to the Nova Roman treasury during taxation periods and serve to help establish a proper restoration of the equestrian order in Nova Roma.<br />
<br />
'''III.C.1.''' Smaller donations (5 times the basic tax) are recognized as preliminary membership in the equestrian order, and recognized with the title ''“tribunus aerarius equestris”'', and an advancement by one class upwards; large donations (15 times the basic tax) are rewarded with full membership in the private equestrian order:<br />
<br />
:'''Citizens paying 5 times the basic tax (3 times the basic tax for Roman reenactors and officially certified Latinists)''':<br />
:25 CP Treasury Points plus the title ''tribunus aerarius equestris<br />
''<br />
:'''Citizens paying 15 times the basic tax (9 times the basic tax for Roman reenactors and officially certified Latinists)''':<br />
:400 CP Treasury Points plus the title ''eques equo privato''<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.''' Reenactors and certified Latinists shall receive the same amounts of Treasury Points and honors for a slightly smaller amount of donation (for 3 and 9 times the basic tax). The reasoning for the reduction in case of reenactors is that reenactors might more pressingly need the authorization to wear equestrian insignia at events where they also promote and represent Nova Roma. The reduction in the required donation is therefore justified by the service they do for Nova Roma in the field, and by the fact that they are more likely than non-reenactors to buy the equestrian clothing and insignia which imposes upon them additional costs above the donation. The reasoning for the reduction in case of Latinists is that they are vital and integral in the mission of Nova Roma to restore the Roman people, because without the Roman language, there is no Roman people, and accordingly Nova Roma wishes to raise the status of accomplished Latinists within the society.<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.a.''' '''Reenactors''' can be recognized as such by presenting photographic evidence to the censors and registering the name of the reenactment group where they belong (if there’s any). Reenactors applying for this reduction agree that the presented photographs can be used in publications of the websites and internet pages of Nova Roma.<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.b.''' '''Latinists''' can be recognized as such by presenting the censors a certification, obtained through a Latin examination by a Nova Roman educational institution, or outside Nova Roma, which proves Latin fluency in writing. In the absence of such a document, the censors can assign the task of examination to a Nova Roman committee of Latin teachers, described at III.D.1.b.ii., who shall decide if the applicant for the status of Latinist may be qualified as having Latin fluency in writing.<br />
<br />
==III.D. Cultural Points==<br />
<br />
Cultural Points are given in recognition of knowledge and expertise within the subjects of Romanitas; used as a motivation and prize for studying, researching, and utilizing all the theoretical and practical knowledge that can help Nova Roma to revive and promote Roman culture.<br />

<br />
:'''Citizen has MA from a Romanitas subject''':<br />
:10 CP Cultural Points<br />
<br />
:'''Citizen has PhD from Romanitas subject''':<br />
:20 CP Cultural Points<br />
<br />
'''III.D.1.a.ii.''' '''Nova Roman Courses.''' Completing a course on Roman or Nova Roman studies held by Nova Roman educational institutions or educational institutions recognized by Nova Roma (such as the Academia Thules) are also awarded Cultural Points if sufficient evidence is given to the censors (certificate, testimony of the institution or teachers). Participation in itself, except in case of Latin (see III.D.1.b), doesn’t count, only a successful completion, absolution with a non-failure grade.<br />
<br />
:'''Completing a Nova Roman course:''':<br />
:5 CP Cultural Points<br />
<br />
'''III.D.1.b.''' '''Latin Proficiency.'''

<br />
'''III.D.1.b.ii.''' '''Censorial Committee of Latin Teachers.''' The censorial committee of Latin teachers shall consist of two Latin teachers at least with Nova Roman citizenship, who shall be appointed to this committee by the censors and shall prove their qualification to the censors with a document of MA degree from Latin studies. The censors can appoint more than one censorial committee of Latin teachers at the same time.<br />

At retroactive allocation of these Cultural Points, however, ties can be recognized and points allocated accordingly.<br />
<br />
'''III.D.2.b.''' In case of a more serious and more difficult contest, where the work involved suggests an extraordinary achievement, the senate may decide about extraordinary Census Point prizes.

This recognition shall be given to citizens whose association to Nova Roma can make Nova Roma more famous and more respected. Such recognition shall be entirely within the judgement of the censors collegiately, subject to potential rejection by the quaestorial panel of Census Point jury. The censorial decision must be made in edict, in which the censors must explain the significance of the achievement and why the citizen in question deserves special treatment and advancement in status. Alternatively, the senate can make such a recognition. Activity Points for a serious accomplishment can be awarded more than once for more accomplishments.<br />

<br />
:'''Pater Patriae''':<br />
:1000 CP Award Points<br />
<br />
=IV. Census Point Deductions=<br />
<br />
Census points can be deducted from citizens as measures defined by law in order to discourage certain behaviors and in order that the Census Points may not only accumulate but also decrease in justified cases, which creates a more balanced pattern determined by the sense of duty and commitment of the citizens.<br />
<br />
'''IV.A.''' '''Deduction for non-payment of taxes:''' After each year that tax is not paid, the citizen shall receive a 100 CP deduction, until the census of the citizen reaches 0 CP. This deduction shall be calculated only when the citizen makes the first new payment after the hiatus. The citizen receives this deduction for the first new payment. When the citizen consecutively pays their tax again in the next year, they will start receiving back +25 CP for each new year of taxes paid, eventually reverting all the deductions for non-payment. When, after any payment hiatus, the citizen has paid continuously for five consecutive years (in the 5th year after the hiatus), they will receive back all remaining deducted CP at once.<br />
<br />
:Examples:<br />
<br />
:Citizen “A” has 64 CP, and misses paying taxes for a 6 year period from 2015-2020. He pays taxes in the year of 2021, and as is required, he is deducted -600 CP for missing the previous 6 years. CP can’t be lower than 0, so he now has 0 CP for 2021. The next year he pays for 2022 and receives back the first +25 CP. He will now have 25 CP in total in 2022, If he pays again in 2023, he will have received back 50 CP. A fourth consecutive payment in 2024 will result in the receipt of only 14 more CP, because he cannot receive more than the amount which he lost by deductions (64). Citizen “A” will have received all 64 CP back by 2024.<br />
<br />
:Citizen “B” has 135 CP, and misses paying taxes for a 2 year period from 2019-2020. He pays taxes in the year of 2021, and as is required, is deducted -200 CP. Citizen “B” will now have 0 CP in 2021. Then he pays his taxes for 2022 and then receives back his first +25 CP. He will now have 25 CP in total in 2022. If he pays again in 2023, he will have received back 50 CP. A fourth consecutive payment in 2024 will result in the accumulation of 75 CP. Paying taxes again in 2025, however, he will receive back the remaining CP to the original 135 CP. All deducted CP is reimbursed at the time of the 5th uninterrupted year of tax payment.''<br />
<br />
'''IV.B.''' '''Renouncing citizenship or failing to answer the census:''' Citizens who renounce their citizenship or who fails to register on the census loses all CP. They can regain all CP back in the same manner as described above regarding the deduction for non-payment of taxes (in a maximum 5 year process).<br />
<br />
=V. Final Provisions=<br />
<br />
As the applicability of this law depends on the technical realization and programming of the of Census Points system in the infrastructure of the Album Civium (citizen database) website, this lex will take force only after the ''curator rei informaticae'' determines that the provisions of this law have been built into the Album Civium. At that time, an edict will be promulgated by the ''curator rei informaticae'' putting this law into effect.</div>Gaius Sempronius Scepsis Agricolahttp://novaroma.org/nr/Lex_Arria_de_censu_civium_aestimando_(Nova_Roma)Lex Arria de censu civium aestimando (Nova Roma)2021-11-09T10:54:23Z<p>Gaius Sempronius Scepsis Agricola: </p>
<hr />
<div>=Preamble= <br />
<br />
The Nova Roman people enacts the following law regarding the assessment of the citizens' census as their estimated civic worth, their cultural and organizational wealth held in Nova Roman society, superseding the ''lex Cornelia de punctis censualibus''. The form of government of the Old Roman Republic was aristocratic by plutocracy, the New Roman Republic is aristocratic by meritocracy. This law ensures that the meritocratic principles, and not money and birth, define influence and place in our revived Roman people. Accordingly, the purpose of this law is to encourage and reward merit, such as service to the ''res publica'', work and productive activity, especially conventions and live programs of citizens, intellectual contribution and financial contribution to Nova Roma, and the noble effort of citizens to participate in all areas of Roman studies and Latin, the language of the Roman people, rewarding certified, demonstrated knowledge and expertise that are essential in the educational and historical mission of Nova Roma to restore and promote Roman culture.<br />
<br />
=I. Census Points=<br />
<br />
'''I.A.''' In ancient Rome, citizens were said ''"censum habere"'' i.e. "to possess the census of" (followed by the estimated amount of money), and this census (meaning "wealth", "value") classified them as members across five classes or the equestrian order. In Nova Roma, our "wealth", our "census" is our merit accrued through our service and contribution toward our sacred goals, and through our knowledge about ancient Rome, our expertise in studies and practices that can help bring Romanitas to life and spread Roman culture and virtues across the world. The wealth of a Nova Roman citizen is the citizen's merits toward this mission. These merits reflect a citizen's service toward the republic which embodies this spiritual and educational mission. The assessment of the census (the "wealth in Romanitas") of the Nova Roman citizens is measured in Census Points (''Censualia Puncta'') which are merit points given for contributions towards various aspects of Nova Roma according to the aforementioned motivations of this law. Census Points are divided into the categories of Service Points, Treasury Points, Status Points, Activity Points, Award Points and Cultural Points so that all relevant areas of civic life can be assessed and valued.<br />
<br />
'''I.B.''' The assessment, registration and accounting of Census Points are the duty of the censors as part of their powers. It shall be the responsibility of each citizen to review their Census Point account and ensure that all of their offices, statuses, titles, awards, and acquired points are represented. The censors shall strive to be as accurate as they can be, but it is only with the active cooperation and involvement of citizens that the censors can ensure the records are as close to perfection as possible.<br />
<br />
=II. Supervision and protection of Census Points=<br />
<br />
'''II.A.''' The censors are the supreme authority over the assessment of the Census Points of citizens, the supreme guardians and judges of the Census Point system. If any of the censors suspects a misuse of the Census Points, such as accumulative and unnecessary appointments of friends as officers in order to promote them in the social hierarchy, suspicious or accumulative appointments without any evidence of real work involved, unmerited Census Point awards, or corrupt motivations, the censor is responsible to bring the case to the panel of quaestors, as described at II.C, or directly to Nova Roman court if the censor is absolutely convinced and deem that no preliminary investigation is needed.<br />
<br />
'''II.B.''' If, during exercising the regimen morum (supervision of public morality) in their power, the censors collegially determine that the citizen in question lost his reputation due to ignominious, disgraceful behavior and infamy, they can rescind those Award Point issues which they find unmerited, disgraced and undeserved. Such a penalty cannot be reversed just by the censors or by a lex. The censors can rescind Award Points only, but cannot rescind other types of Census Points without referring the case to the panel of quaestors first, or to a Nova Roman Court.<br />
<br />
'''II.C.''' '''The Census Point Jury Panel of Quaestors.''' In order to ensure maximum safety and fairness of the Census Point system, the quaestors are also collectively entrusted with the surveillance and protection of the integrity of the Census Point assignments. In case a quaestor suspects any abuse of the Census Point system, as described at II.A., the quaestors as a collective panel shall investigate, judge, and report the case to the censors. If the majority of the quaestors determine that an appointment of an officer or another type of allocation of Census Points has been made out of corrupt motivations, the Census Points in question shall not be counted for the citizen, and the quaestors shall bring the case to the praetor who shall determine if there is a need for a legal process against the abusers. A citizen who has lost Census Points due to the decision of the panel of the quaestors can also appeal to court if the citizen is convinced about the righteousness of his or her case. If both censors disagree with the decision of the quaestorial panel, they can jointly overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel if, at the same time, they refer the case to a Nova Roman court for a decision regarding the allocation of Census Points or the potential criminality of the involved parties. One censor alone cannot overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel, and the overturning of the panel’s decision can only take effect once the case has been referred to Nova Roman court.<br />
<br />
'''II.D.''' In case there is any doubt regarding the interpretation of the regulations and instructions in this law or the supervision, protections, functioning and mechanisms of the Census Point system, the censors shall decide the interpretation by edict.<br />
<br />
=III. Categories of Census Points=<br />
<br />
==III.A. Service Points==<br />
<br />
'''III.A.1.''' There shall be two types of Service Points, Past Service Points and Current Office Service Points, which are of the same amount, with the following exception: for the duration of service Current Office Service Points include an extra amount of Census Points to magistrates in order to enhance their social status and influence during their tenure of office which helps them in creating a stable government. Other officers don't receive an extra amount of Census Points for their Current Office Service Points. Past Service Points are given to all officers for past offices.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.2.''' Service points are given per terms if the position has a fixed time term. If the position is repeated by prorogation, each started prorogation counts as a new term. If the title of a governor changes, it does not count as a new term. Only a new appointment or a new prorogation counts as a new term.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.3.''' If the position has an indefinite term, excepting governors, or linked to the superior's term, Service Points (either Current Office or Past) are calculated cumulatively after each completed one year period (12 months): the first amount is given at the moment of appointment (as Current Office Service Point), the second after starting the next year (one amount for Current Office, another for Past), the third after starting the third year (one amount for Current Office, two amounts for Past) etc. Governors may not receive additional Census Points for a longer than 12 month service without prorogation. The term of apparitors and other lower officers appointed by higher officers, if not otherwise defined in the appointment, is considered to be the same as the term of their appointing superior, or the date when the appointing superior honorably discharges his lower officer. Honorable discharge is not considered removal from office, but completion of term.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.4.''' If an officer serves only part of the term of office, only partial Census Points shall be given. The amount of Census Points shall be based on three-month increments rounding down (one partial amount for each completed three month period, plus one amount equal to a three-month partial amount in addition just for entering office), calculated from the original length of the full term of their office. In case of officers with indefinite or flexible term of office, the full length of the term of office shall be considered one year (12 months). If, before the time of prorogations, a governor resigns against the will of the senate or is removed from office, the governor receives only partial Past Service Points which shall be calculated based on how many months he spent in service, as described in the previous sentence, but not more than what is due for 12 months. If the governor resigns or is removed after 12 months in office, they shall receive no more than what is due for one full term. Resignation, when it is a traditional stepping down from office due to custom, does not count as a resignation: the resignation of extraordinary magistrates, the dictator, magister equitum, or of other extraordinary officers appointed for a task with a term but having finished the task sooner, or the resignation of a censor after the death or resignation of their colleague do not count as resignations but complete terms.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.5.''' In case of positions for life, priesthoods (except provincial priest), senate membership etc., Status Points are given instead of Service Points, see section III.B.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.6.''' The senate shall have the authority to issue points for special positions, for new officers or other positions not included in the lex, as well as rewards for special services performed on behalf of the State.<br />

<br />
:'''Princeps Iuventutis'''<br />

<br />

<br />
:'''Princeps Senatus''':<br />
:1000 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
==III.C. Treasury Points==<br />
<br />
Treasury Points are given as a reward for special contributions to the Nova Roman treasury during taxation periods and serve to help establish a proper restoration of the equestrian order in Nova Roma.<br />
<br />
'''III.C.1.''' Smaller donations (5 times the basic tax) are recognized as preliminary membership in the equestrian order, and recognized with the title ''“tribunus aerarius equestris”'', and an advancement by one class upwards; large donations (15 times the basic tax) are rewarded with full membership in the private equestrian order:<br />
<br />
:'''Citizens paying 5 times the basic tax (3 times the basic tax for Roman reenactors and officially certified Latinists)''':<br />
:25 CP Treasury Points plus the title ''tribunus aerarius equestris<br />
''<br />
:'''Citizens paying 15 times the basic tax (9 times the basic tax for Roman reenactors and officially certified Latinists)''':<br />
:400 CP Treasury Points plus the title ''eques equo privato''<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.''' Reenactors and certified Latinists shall receive the same amounts of Treasury Points and honors for a slightly smaller amount of donation (for 3 and 9 times the basic tax). The reasoning for the reduction in case of reenactors is that reenactors might more pressingly need the authorization to wear equestrian insignia at events where they also promote and represent Nova Roma, therefore the reduction in required donation is justified by the service they do for Nova Roma in the field, and by the fact that they are more likely than non-reenactors actually to buy the equestrian clothing and insignia which causes them additional costs above the donation. The reasoning for the reduction in case of Latinists is that they are vital and integral in the mission of Nova Roma to restore the Roman people, because without the Roman language, there is no Roman people, and accordingly Nova Roma wishes to raise the status of accomplished Latinists within the society.<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.a.''' '''Reenactors''' can be recognized as such by presenting photographic evidence to the censors and registering the name of the reenactment group where they belong (if there’s any). Reenactors applying for this reduction agree that the presented photographs can be used in publications of the websites and internet pages of Nova Roma.<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.b.''' '''Latinists''' can be recognized as such by presenting the censors a certification, obtained through a Latin examination by a Nova Roman educational institution, or outside Nova Roma, which proves Latin fluency in writing. In the absence of such a document, the censors can assign the task of examination to a Nova Roman committee of Latin teachers, described at III.D.1.b.ii., who shall decide if the applicant for the status of Latinist may be qualified as having Latin fluency in writing.<br />
<br />
==III.D. Cultural Points==<br />

<br />
'''III.D.1.b.ii.''' '''Censorial Committee of Latin Teachers.'''

<br />
'''III.F.4.''' This variant of the highest possible award can be given only at the request of a fully Nova Roman reenactment unit under the ''imperium'' of the recipient. The prerequisite of this award is the ''salutatio imperatoria'', an exclamation after a victorious reenactment battle, which a representative of the army message to the senate, for only the senate can recognize and grant this award for extraordinary leadership achievements in Roman military reenactment, or for major heroic leadership actions saving or advancing Nova Roma while holding ''imperium'' and command of a Nova Roman reenactment army:<br />

<br />
=IV. Census Point Deductions=<br />
<br />
Census points can be deducted from citizens as measures defined by law in order to discourage certain behaviors and in order that the Census Points may not only accumulate but also decrease in justified cases, which creates a more balanced pattern determined by the sense of duty and commitment of the citizens.<br />
<br />
'''IV.A.''' '''Deduction for non-payment of taxes:''' After each year that tax is not paid, the citizen shall receive a 100 CP deduction, until the census of the citizen reaches 0 CP. This deduction shall be calculated only when the citizen makes the first new payment after the hiatus. The citizen receives this deduction for the first new payment. When the citizen consecutively pays their tax again in the next year, they will start receiving back +25 CP for each new year of taxes paid, eventually reverting all the deductions for non-payment. When, after any payment hiatus, the citizen has paid continuously for five consecutive years (in the 5th year after the hiatus), they will receive back all remaining deducted CP at once.<br />
<br />
:Examples:<br />
<br />
:Citizen “A” has 64 CP, and misses paying taxes for a 6 year period from 2015-2020. He pays taxes in the year of 2021, and as is required, he is deducted -600 CP for missing the previous 6 years. CP can’t be lower than 0, so he now has 0 CP for 2021. The next year he pays for 2022 and receives back the first +25 CP. He will now have 25 CP in total in 2022, If he pays again in 2023, he will have received back 50 CP. A fourth consecutive payment in 2024 will result in the receipt of only 14 more CP, because he cannot receive more than the amount which he lost by deductions (64). Citizen “A” will have received all 64 CP back by 2024.<br />
<br />
:Citizen “B” has 135 CP, and misses paying taxes for a 2 year period from 2019-2020. He pays taxes in the year of 2021, and as is required, is deducted -200 CP. Citizen “B” will now have 0 CP in 2021. Then he pays his taxes for 2022 and then receives back his first +25 CP. He will now have 25 CP in total in 2022. If he pays again in 2023, he will have received back 50 CP. A fourth consecutive payment in 2024 will result in the accumulation of 75 CP. Paying taxes again in 2025, however, he will receive back the remaining CP to the original 135 CP. All deducted CP is reimbursed at the time of the 5th uninterrupted year of tax payment.''<br />
<br />
'''IV.B.''' '''Renouncing citizenship or failing to answer the census:''' Citizens who renounce their citizenship or who fails to register on the census loses all CP. They can regain all CP back in the same manner as described above regarding the deduction for non-payment of taxes (in a maximum 5 year process).<br />
<br />
=V. Final Provisions=<br />
<br />
As the applicability of this law depends on the technical realization and programming of the of Census Points system in the infrastructure of the Album Civium (citizen database) website, this lex will take force only after the ''curator rei informaticae'' determines that the provisions of this law have been built into the Album Civium. At that time, an edict will be promulgated by the ''curator rei informaticae'' putting this law into effect.</div>Gaius Sempronius Scepsis Agricolahttp://novaroma.org/nr/Lex_Arria_de_censu_civium_aestimando_(Nova_Roma)Lex Arria de censu civium aestimando (Nova Roma)2021-11-09T10:47:46Z<p>Gaius Sempronius Scepsis Agricola: </p>
<hr />
<div>=Preamble= <br />
<br />
The Nova Roman people enacts the following law regarding the assessment of the citizens' census as their estimated civic worth, their cultural and organizational wealth held in Nova Roman society, superseding the ''lex Cornelia de punctis censualibus''. The form of government of the Old Roman Republic was aristocratic by plutocracy, the New Roman Republic is aristocratic by meritocracy. This law ensures that the meritocratic principles, and not money and birth, define influence and place in our revived Roman people. Accordingly, the purpose of this law is to encourage and reward merit, such as service to the ''res publica'', work and productive activity, especially conventions and live programs of citizens, intellectual contribution and financial contribution to Nova Roma, and the noble effort of citizens to participate in all areas of Roman studies and Latin, the language of the Roman people, rewarding certified, demonstrated knowledge and expertise that are essential in the educational and historical mission of Nova Roma to restore and promote Roman culture.<br />
<br />
=I. Census Points=<br />
<br />
'''I.A.''' In ancient Rome, citizens were said ''"censum habere"'' i.e. "to possess the census of" (followed by the estimated amount of money), and this census (meaning "wealth", "value") classified them as members across five classes or the equestrian order. In Nova Roma, our "wealth", our "census" is our merit accrued through our service and contribution toward our sacred goals, and through our knowledge about ancient Rome, our expertise in studies and practices that can help bring Romanitas to life and spread Roman culture and virtues across the world. The wealth of a Nova Roman citizen is the citizen's merits toward this mission. These merits reflect a citizen's service toward the republic which embodies this spiritual and educational mission. The assessment of the census (the "wealth in Romanitas") of the Nova Roman citizens is measured in Census Points (''Censualia Puncta'') which are merit points given for contributions towards various aspects of Nova Roma according to the aforementioned motivations of this law. Census Points are divided into the categories of Service Points, Treasury Points, Status Points, Activity Points, Award Points and Cultural Points so that all relevant areas of civic life can be assessed and valued.<br />
<br />
'''I.B.''' The assessment, registration and accounting of Census Points are the duty of the censors as part of their powers. It shall be the responsibility of each citizen to review their Census Point account and ensure that all of their offices, statuses, titles, awards, and acquired points are represented. The censors shall strive to be as accurate as they can be, but it is only with the active cooperation and involvement of citizens that the censors can ensure the records are as close to perfection as possible.<br />
<br />
=II. Supervision and protection of Census Points=<br />
<br />
'''II.A.''' The censors are the supreme authority over the assessment of the Census Points of citizens, the supreme guardians and judges of the Census Point system. If any of the censors suspects a misuse of the Census Points, such as accumulative and unnecessary appointments of friends as officers in order to promote them in the social hierarchy, suspicious or accumulative appointments without any evidence of real work involved, unmerited Census Point awards, or corrupt motivations, the censor is responsible to bring the case to the panel of quaestors, as described at II.C, or directly to Nova Roman court if the censor is absolutely convinced and deem that no preliminary investigation is needed.<br />
<br />
'''II.B.''' If, during exercising the regimen morum (supervision of public morality) in their power, the censors collegially determine that the citizen in question lost his reputation due to ignominious, disgraceful behavior and infamy, they can rescind those Award Point issues which they find unmerited, disgraced and undeserved. Such a penalty cannot be reversed just by the censors or by a lex. The censors can rescind Award Points only, but cannot rescind other types of Census Points without referring the case to the panel of quaestors first, or to a Nova Roman Court.<br />
<br />
'''II.C.''' '''The Census Point Jury Panel of Quaestors.''' In order to ensure maximum safety and fairness of the Census Point system, the quaestors are also collectively entrusted with the surveillance and protection of the integrity of the Census Point assignments. In case a quaestor suspects any abuse of the Census Point system, as described at II.A., the quaestors as a collective panel shall investigate, judge, and report the case to the censors. If the majority of the quaestors determine that an appointment of an officer or another type of allocation of Census Points has been made out of corrupt motivations, the Census Points in question shall not be counted for the citizen, and the quaestors shall bring the case to the praetor who shall determine if there is a need for a legal process against the abusers. A citizen who has lost Census Points due the decision of the panel of the quaestors can also appeal to court if he is convinced about the righteousness of his case. If both censors disagree with the decision of the quaestorial panel, they can jointly overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel if, by the same action, they refer the case to Nova Roman court for decision regarding the allocation of Census Points or the potential criminality of the involved parties. Only one censor cannot overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel, and the overturning of the panel’s decision cannot take effect as long as the case is not referred to Nova Roman court.<br />
<br />
'''II.D.''' In case there is any doubt regarding the interpretation of the regulations and instructions in this law or the supervision, protections, functioning and mechanisms of the Census Point system, the censors shall decide the interpretation by edict.<br />
<br />
=III. Categories of Census Points=<br />
<br />
==III.A. Service Points==<br />
<br />
'''III.A.1.''' There shall be two types of Service Points, Past Service Points and Current Office Service Points, which are of the same amount, with the following exception: for the duration of service Current Office Service Points include an extra amount of Census Points to magistrates in order to enhance their social status and influence during their tenure of office which helps them in creating a stable government. Other officers don't receive an extra amount of Census Points for their Current Office Service Points. Past Service Points are given to all officers for past offices.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.2.''' Service points are given per terms if the position has a fixed time term. If the position is repeated by prorogation, each started prorogation counts as a new term. If the title of a governor changes, it does not count as a new term. Only a new appointment or a new prorogation counts as a new term.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.3.''' If the position has an indefinite term, excepting governors, or linked to the superior's term, Service Points (either Current Office or Past) are calculated cumulatively after each completed one year period (12 months): the first amount is given at the moment of appointment (as Current Office Service Point), the second after starting the next year (one amount for Current Office, another for Past), the third after starting the third year (one amount for Current Office, two amounts for Past) etc. Governors may not receive additional Census Points for a longer than 12 month service without prorogation. The term of apparitors and other lower officers appointed by higher officers, if not otherwise defined in the appointment, is considered to be the same as the term of their appointing superior, or the date when the appointing superior honorably discharges his lower officer. Honorable discharge is not considered removal from office, but completion of term.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.4.''' If an officer serves only part of the term of office, only partial Census Points shall be given. The amount of Census Points shall be based on three-month increments rounding down (one partial amount for each completed three month period, plus one amount equal to a three-month partial amount in addition just for entering office), calculated from the original length of the full term of their office. In case of officers with indefinite or flexible term of office, the full length of the term of office shall be considered one year (12 months). If, before the time of prorogations, a governor resigns against the will of the senate or is removed from office, the governor receives only partial Past Service Points which shall be calculated based on how many months he spent in service, as described in the previous sentence, but not more than what is due for 12 months. If the governor resigns or is removed after 12 months in office, they shall receive no more than what is due for one full term. Resignation, when it is a traditional stepping down from office due to custom, does not count as a resignation: the resignation of extraordinary magistrates, the dictator, magister equitum, or of other extraordinary officers appointed for a task with a term but having finished the task sooner, or the resignation of a censor after the death or resignation of their colleague do not count as resignations but complete terms.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.5.''' In case of positions for life, priesthoods (except provincial priest), senate membership etc., Status Points are given instead of Service Points, see section III.B.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.6.''' The senate shall have the authority to issue points for special positions, for new officers or other positions not included in the lex, as well as rewards for special services performed on behalf of the State.<br />

<br />

<br />
:'''Municipal Decurionate Order''':<br />
:5 CP Status Points<br />
<br />

<br />
:'''Princeps Iuventutis'''<br />
:400 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
'''III.B.3.b.''' The status of the first senator of the senate of Nova Roma, designated so by the censors during census, shall be recognized by the following Status Points:<br />

:'''Princeps Senatus''':<br />
:1000 CP Status Points<br />

==III.C. Treasury Points==<br />
<br />
Treasury Points are given as a reward for special contributions to the Nova Roman treasury during taxation periods and serve to help establish a proper restoration of the equestrian order in Nova Roma.<br />
<br />
'''III.C.1.''' Smaller donations (5 times the basic tax) are recognized as preliminary membership in the equestrian order, and recognized with the title ''“tribunus aerarius equestris”'', and an advancement by one class upwards; large donations (15 times the basic tax) are rewarded with full membership in the private equestrian order:<br />
<br />
:'''Citizens paying 5 times the basic tax (3 times the basic tax for Roman reenactors and officially certified Latinists)''':<br />
:25 CP Treasury Points plus the title ''tribunus aerarius equestris<br />
''<br />
:'''Citizens paying 15 times the basic tax (9 times the basic tax for Roman reenactors and officially certified Latinists)''':<br />
:400 CP Treasury Points plus the title ''eques equo privato''<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.''' Reenactors and certified Latinists shall receive the same amounts of Treasury Points and honors for a slightly smaller amount of donation (for 3 and 9 times the basic tax). The reasoning for the reduction in case of reenactors is that reenactors might more pressingly need the authorization to wear equestrian insignia at events where they also promote and represent Nova Roma, therefore the reduction in required donation is justified by the service they do for Nova Roma in the field, and by the fact that they are more likely than non-reenactors actually to buy the equestrian clothing and insignia which causes them additional costs above the donation. The reasoning for the reduction in case of Latinists is that they are vital and integral in the mission of Nova Roma to restore the Roman people, because without the Roman language, there is no Roman people, and accordingly Nova Roma wishes to raise the status of accomplished Latinists within the society.<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.a.''' '''Reenactors''' can be recognized as such by presenting photographic evidence to the censors and registering the name of the reenactment group where they belong (if there’s any). Reenactors applying for this reduction agree that the presented photographs can be used in publications of the websites and internet pages of Nova Roma.<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.b.''' '''Latinists''' can be recognized as such by presenting the censors a certification, obtained through a Latin examination by a Nova Roman educational institution, or outside Nova Roma, which proves Latin fluency in writing. In the absence of such a document, the censors can assign the task of examination to a Nova Roman committee of Latin teachers, described at III.D.1.b.ii., who shall decide if the applicant for the status of Latinist may be qualified as having Latin fluency in writing.<br />
<br />
==III.D. Cultural Points==<br />
<br />
Cultural Points are given in recognition of knowledge and exeprtise within the subjects of Romanitas, and as a motivation and prize for studying, researching, and utilizing all the theoretical and practical knowledge that can help Nova Roma to revive and promote Roman culture.<br />
<br />
===III.D.1. CULTURAL POINTS FOR ACADEMIC DEGREES, EXPERTISE, KNOWLEDGE AND STUDIES RELATED TO ROMAN CULTURE===<br />
<br />
'''III.D.1.a.i.''' '''Academic Degrees.''' In order to receive Cultural Points for academic degrees, the MA or PhD, a digitalized copy of the certifications must be demonstrated to the censors, and upon examination of the copy of the certificates, the censors shall issue Census Points according to the following proportions:<br />
<br />
:'''Citizen has MA from a Romanitas subject''':<br />
:10 CP Cultural Points<br />
<br />
:'''Citizen has PhD from Romanitas subject''':<br />
:20 CP Cultural Points<br />
<br />
'''III.D.1.a.ii.''' '''Nova Roman Courses.''' Completing a course on Roman or Nova Roman studies held by Nova Roman educational institutions or educational institutions recognized by Nova Roma (such as the Academia Thules) are also awarded Cultural Points if sufficient evidence is given to the censors (certificate, testimony of the institution or teachers). Participation in itself, except in case of Latin (see III.D.1.b), doesn’t count, only a successful completion, absolution with a non-failure grade.<br />
<br />
:'''Completing a Nova Roman course:''':<br />
:5 CP Cultural Points<br />

This recognition shall be given to citizens whose association to Nova Roma can make Nova Roma more famous and more respected. Such recognition shall be entirely within the judgement of the censors collegiately, subject to potential rejection by the quaestorial panel of Census Point jury. The censorial decision must be made in edict, in which the censors must explain the significance of the achievement and why the citizen in question deserves special treatment and advancement in status.

:1000 CP Award Points<br />
<br />
=IV. Census Point Deductions=<br />
<br />
Census points can be deducted from citizens as measures defined by law in order to discourage certain behaviors and in order that the Census Points may not only accumulate but also decrease in justified cases, which creates a more balanced pattern determined by the sense of duty and commitment of the citizens.<br />
<br />
'''IV.A.''' '''Deduction for non-payment of taxes:''' After each year that tax is not paid, the citizen shall receive a 100 CP deduction, until the census of the citizen reaches 0 CP. This deduction shall be calculated only when the citizen makes the first new payment after the hiatus. The citizen receives this deduction for the first new payment. When the citizen consecutively pays their tax again in the next year, they will start receiving back +25 CP for each new year of taxes paid, eventually reverting all the deductions for non-payment. When, after any payment hiatus, the citizen has paid continuously for five consecutive years (in the 5th year after the hiatus), they will receive back all remaining deducted CP at once.<br />
<br />
:Examples:<br />
<br />
:Citizen “A” has 64 CP, and misses paying taxes for a 6 year period from 2015-2020. He pays taxes in the year of 2021, and as is required, he is deducted -600 CP for missing the previous 6 years. CP can’t be lower than 0, so he now has 0 CP for 2021. The next year he pays for 2022 and receives back the first +25 CP. He will now have 25 CP in total in 2022, If he pays again in 2023, he will have received back 50 CP. A fourth consecutive payment in 2024 will result in the receipt of only 14 more CP, because he cannot receive more than the amount which he lost by deductions (64). Citizen “A” will have received all 64 CP back by 2024.<br />
<br />
:Citizen “B” has 135 CP, and misses paying taxes for a 2 year period from 2019-2020. He pays taxes in the year of 2021, and as is required, is deducted -200 CP. Citizen “B” will now have 0 CP in 2021. Then he pays his taxes for 2022 and then receives back his first +25 CP. He will now have 25 CP in total in 2022. If he pays again in 2023, he will have received back 50 CP. A fourth consecutive payment in 2024 will result in the accumulation of 75 CP. Paying taxes again in 2025, however, he will receive back the remaining CP to the original 135 CP. All deducted CP is reimbursed at the time of the 5th uninterrupted year of tax payment.''<br />
<br />
'''IV.B.''' '''Renouncing citizenship or failing to answer the census:''' Citizens who renounce their citizenship or who fails to register on the census loses all CP. They can regain all CP back in the same manner as described above regarding the deduction for non-payment of taxes (in a maximum 5 year process).<br />
<br />
=V. Final Provisions=<br />
<br />
As the applicability of this law depends on the technical realization and programming of the of Census Points system in the infrastructure of the Album Civium (citizen database) website, this lex will take force only after the ''curator rei informaticae'' determines that the provisions of this law have been built into the Album Civium. At that time, an edict will be promulgated by the ''curator rei informaticae'' putting this law into effect.</div>Gaius Sempronius Scepsis Agricolahttp://novaroma.org/nr/Lex_Arria_de_censu_civium_aestimando_(Nova_Roma)Lex Arria de censu civium aestimando (Nova Roma)2021-11-09T10:46:00Z<p>Gaius Sempronius Scepsis Agricola: </p>
<hr />
<div>=Preamble= <br />
<br />
The Nova Roman people enacts the following law regarding the assessment of the citizens' census as their estimated civic worth, their cultural and organizational wealth held in Nova Roman society, superseding the ''lex Cornelia de punctis censualibus''. The form of government of the Old Roman Republic was aristocratic by plutocracy, the New Roman Republic is aristocratic by meritocracy. This law ensures that the meritocratic principles, and not money and birth, define influence and place in our revived Roman people. Accordingly, the purpose of this law is to encourage and reward merit, such as service to the ''res publica'', work and productive activity, especially conventions and live programs of citizens, intellectual contribution and financial contribution to Nova Roma, and the noble effort of citizens to participate in all areas of Roman studies and Latin, the language of the Roman people, rewarding certified, demonstrated knowledge and expertise that are essential in the educational and historical mission of Nova Roma to restore and promote Roman culture.<br />
<br />
=I. Census Points=<br />
<br />
'''I.A.''' In ancient Rome, citizens were said ''"censum habere"'' i.e. "to possess the census of" (followed by the estimated amount of money), and this census (meaning "wealth", "value") classified them as members across five classes or the equestrian order. In Nova Roma, our "wealth", our "census" is our merit accrued through our service and contribution toward our sacred goals, and through our knowledge about ancient Rome, our expertise in studies and practices that can help bring Romanitas to life and spread Roman culture and virtues across the world. The wealth of a Nova Roman citizen is the citizen's merits toward this mission. These merits reflect a citizen's service toward the republic which embodies this spiritual and educational mission. The assessment of the census (the "wealth in Romanitas") of the Nova Roman citizens is measured in Census Points (''Censualia Puncta'') which are merit points given for contributions towards various aspects of Nova Roma according to the aforementioned motivations of this law. Census Points are divided into the categories of Service Points, Treasury Points, Status Points, Activity Points, Award Points and Cultural Points so that all relevant areas of civic life can be assessed and valued.<br />
<br />
'''I.B.''' The assessment, registration and accounting of Census Points are the duty of the censors as part of their powers. It shall be the responsibility of each citizen to review their Census Point account and ensure that all of their offices, statuses, titles, awards, and acquired points are represented. The censors shall strive to be as accurate as they can be, but it is only with the active cooperation and involvement of citizens that the censors can ensure the records are as close to perfection as possible.<br />
<br />
=II. Supervision and protection of Census Points=<br />
<br />
'''II.A.''' The censors are the supreme authority over the assessment of the Census Points of citizens, the supreme guardians and judges of the Census Point system. If any of the censors suspects a misuse of the Census Points, such as accumulative and unnecessary appointments of friends as officers in order to promote them in the social hierarchy, suspicious or accumulative appointments without any evidence of real work involved, unmerited Census Point awards, or corrupt motivations, the censor is responsible to bring the case to the panel of quaestors, as described at II.C, or directly to Nova Roman court if the censor is absolutely convinced and deem that no preliminary investigation is needed.<br />
<br />
'''II.B.''' If, during exercising the regimen morum (supervision of public morality) in their power, the censors collegially determine that the citizen in question lost his reputation due to ignominious, disgraceful behavior and infamy, they can rescind those Award Point issues which they find unmerited, disgraced and undeserved. Such a penalty cannot be reversed just by the censors or by a lex. The censors can rescind Award Points only, but cannot rescind other types of Census Points without referring the case to the panel of quaestors first, or to a Nova Roman Court.<br />
<br />
'''II.C.''' '''The Census Point Jury Panel of Quaestors.''' In order to ensure maximum safety and fairness of the Census Point system, the quaestors are also collectively entrusted with the surveillance and protection of the integrity of the Census Point assignments. In case a quaestor suspects any abuse of the Census Point system, as described at II.A., the quaestors as a collective panel shall investigate, judge, and report the case to the censors. If the majority of the quaestors determine that an appointment of an officer or another type of allocation of Census Points has been made out of corrupt motivations, the Census Points in question shall not be counted for the citizen, and the quaestors shall bring the case to the praetor who shall determine if there is a need for a legal process against the abusers. A citizen who has lost Census Points due the decision of the panel of the quaestors can also appeal to court if he is convinced about the righteousness of his case. If both censors disagree with the decision of the quaestorial panel, they can jointly overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel if, by the same action, they refer the case to Nova Roman court for decision regarding the allocation of Census Points or the potential criminality of the involved parties. Only one censor cannot overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel, and the overturning of the panel’s decision cannot take effect as long as the case is not referred to Nova Roman court.<br />
<br />
'''II.D.''' In case there is any doubt regarding the interpretation of the regulations and instructions in this law or the supervision, protections, functioning and mechanisms of the Census Point system, the censors shall decide the interpretation by edict.<br />
<br />
=III. Categories of Census Points=<br />
<br />
==III.A. Service Points==<br />
<br />
'''III.A.1.''' There shall be two types of Service Points, Past Service Points and Current Office Service Points, which are of the same amount, with the following exception: for the duration of service Current Office Service Points include an extra amount of Census Points to magistrates in order to enhance their social status and influence during their tenure of office which helps them in creating a stable government. Other officers don't receive an extra amount of Census Points for their Current Office Service Points. Past Service Points are given to all officers for past offices.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.2.''' Service points are given per terms if the position has a fixed time term. If the position is repeated by prorogation, each started prorogation counts as a new term. If the title of a governor changes, it does not count as a new term. Only a new appointment or a new prorogation counts as a new term.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.3.''' If the position has an indefinite term, excepting governors, or linked to the superior's term, Service Points (either Current Office or Past) are calculated cumulatively after each completed one year period (12 months): the first amount is given at the moment of appointment (as Current Office Service Point), the second after starting the next year (one amount for Current Office, another for Past), the third after starting the third year (one amount for Current Office, two amounts for Past) etc. Governors may not receive additional Census Points for a longer than 12 month service without prorogation. The term of apparitors and other lower officers appointed by higher officers, if not otherwise defined in the appointment, is considered to be the same as the term of their appointing superior, or the date when the appointing superior honorably discharges his lower officer. Honorable discharge is not considered removal from office, but completion of term.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.4.''' If an officer serves only part of the term of office, only partial Census Points shall be given. The amount of Census Points shall be based on three-month increments rounding down (one partial amount for each completed three month period, plus one amount equal to a three-month partial amount in addition just for entering office), calculated from the original length of the full term of their office. In case of officers with indefinite or flexible term of office, the full length of the term of office shall be considered one year (12 months). If, before the time of prorogations, a governor resigns against the will of the senate or is removed from office, the governor receives only partial Past Service Points which shall be calculated based on how many months he spent in service, as described in the previous sentence, but not more than what is due for 12 months. If the governor resigns or is removed after 12 months in office, they shall receive no more than what is due for one full term. Resignation, when it is a traditional stepping down from office due to custom, does not count as a resignation: the resignation of extraordinary magistrates, the dictator, magister equitum, or of other extraordinary officers appointed for a task with a term but having finished the task sooner, or the resignation of a censor after the death or resignation of their colleague do not count as resignations but complete terms.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.5.''' In case of positions for life, priesthoods (except provincial priest), senate membership etc., Status Points are given instead of Service Points, see section III.B.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.6.''' The senate shall have the authority to issue points for special positions, for new officers or other positions not included in the lex, as well as rewards for special services performed on behalf of the State.<br />

These include Census Points for priesthood, because they are theoretically appointments for life, and these also include various ranks, memberships in orders and types of nobility. <br />
<br />

<br />
:'''Patriciatus''':<br />
:5 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
'''III.B.2.b.''' In recognition of their sacred duty of reviving and attending the family cultus of the noble dynasties they are restoring to life, citizens of nobilis consular family names (nomen and cognomen combination) shall receive one Census Point for their status. Nobilis consular family names shall be considered those which were borne by at least one consul of the old republic and empire, or of the new republic (title starting with the offspring):<br />
<br />
:'''Nobilitas Consularis''':<br />
:1 CP Status Point<br />
<br />
'''III.B.2.c.''' In recognition of their personal achievement, citizens who reach the consular dignity as first of their name (nomen and cognomen combination), not bearing a nobilis consular family name as defined in (III.B.2.b. ), shall receive one Census Point for their status as Homo Novus, new entry to the nobilitas consularis:<br />
<br />
:'''Homo Novus''':<br />
:1 CP Status Point<br />
<br />
===III.B.3. STATUS POINTS FOR ORDERS===<br />
<br />
'''III.B.3.a.''' Membership in the Equestrian Order of Nova Roma and membership in the senate of the republic or in the ''ordo decurionum'' of municipalities shall be recognized by the following Status Points:<br />
<br />
:'''Equestrian Order''':<br />
:4 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
'''Senatorial Order''':<br />
:10 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
:'''Municipal Decurionate Order''':<br />
:5 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
'''III.B.3.b.''' The status of the first knight of the Equestrian Order of Nova Roma, designated so by the censors during census and the ''recognitio equitum'', shall be recognized by the following Status Points:<br />
<br />
:'''Princeps Iuventutis'''<br />
:400 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
'''III.B.3.b.''' The status of the first senator of the senate of Nova Roma, designated so by the censors during census, shall be recognized by the following Status Points:<br />
<br />
:'''Princeps Senatus''':<br />
:1000 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
==III.C. Treasury Points==<br />
<br />
Treasury Points are given as a reward for special contributions to the Nova Roman treasury during taxation periods and serve to help establish a proper restoration of the equestrian order in Nova Roma.<br />
<br />
'''III.C.1.''' Smaller donations (5 times the basic tax) are recognized as preliminary membership in the equestrian order, and recognized with the title ''“tribunus aerarius equestris”'', and an advancement by one class upwards; large donations (15 times the basic tax) are rewarded with full membership in the private equestrian order:<br />
<br />
:'''Citizens paying 5 times the basic tax (3 times the basic tax for Roman reenactors and officially certified Latinists)''':<br />
:25 CP Treasury Points plus the title ''tribunus aerarius equestris<br />
''<br />
:'''Citizens paying 15 times the basic tax (9 times the basic tax for Roman reenactors and officially certified Latinists)''':<br />
:400 CP Treasury Points plus the title ''eques equo privato''<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.''' Reenactors and certified Latinists shall receive the same amounts of Treasury Points and honors for a slightly smaller amount of donation (for 3 and 9 times the basic tax). The reasoning for the reduction in case of reenactors is that reenactors might more pressingly need the authorization to wear equestrian insignia at events where they also promote and represent Nova Roma, therefore the reduction in required donation is justified by the service they do for Nova Roma in the field, and by the fact that they are more likely than non-reenactors actually to buy the equestrian clothing and insignia which causes them additional costs above the donation. The reasoning for the reduction in case of Latinists is that they are vital and integral in the mission of Nova Roma to restore the Roman people, because without the Roman language, there is no Roman people, and accordingly Nova Roma wishes to raise the status of accomplished Latinists within the society.<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.a.''' '''Reenactors''' can be recognized as such by presenting photographic evidence to the censors and registering the name of the reenactment group where they belong (if there’s any). Reenactors applying for this reduction agree that the presented photographs can be used in publications of the websites and internet pages of Nova Roma.<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.b.''' '''Latinists''' can be recognized as such by presenting the censors a certification, obtained through a Latin examination by a Nova Roman educational institution, or outside Nova Roma, which proves Latin fluency in writing. In the absence of such a document, the censors can assign the task of examination to a Nova Roman committee of Latin teachers, described at III.D.1.b.ii., who shall decide if the applicant for the status of Latinist may be qualified as having Latin fluency in writing.<br />
<br />
==III.D. Cultural Points==<br />
<br />

This recognition shall be given to citizens whose association to Nova Roma can make Nova Roma more famous and more respected. Such recognition shall be entirely within the judgement of the censors collegiately, subject to potential rejection by the quaestorial panel of Census Point jury. The censorial decision must be made in edict, in which the censors must explain the significance of the achievement and why the citizen in question deserves special treatment and advancement in status. Alternatively, the senate can make such a recognition. Activity Points for a serious accomplishment can be awarded more than once for more accomplishments.<br />
<br />

<br />
:'''Pater Patriae''':<br />
:1000 CP Award Points<br />
<br />
=IV. Census Point Deductions=<br />
<br />
Census points can be deducted from citizens as measures defined by law in order to discourage certain behaviors and in order that the Census Points may not only accumulate but also decrease in justified cases, which creates a more balanced pattern determined by the sense of duty and commitment of the citizens.<br />
<br />
'''IV.A.''' '''Deduction for non-payment of taxes:''' After each year that tax is not paid, the citizen shall receive a 100 CP deduction, until the census of the citizen reaches 0 CP. This deduction shall be calculated only when the citizen makes the first new payment after the hiatus. The citizen receives this deduction for the first new payment. When the citizen consecutively pays their tax again in the next year, they will start receiving back +25 CP for each new year of taxes paid, eventually reverting all the deductions for non-payment. When, after any payment hiatus, the citizen has paid continuously for five consecutive years (in the 5th year after the hiatus), they will receive back all remaining deducted CP at once.<br />
<br />
:Examples:<br />
<br />
:Citizen “A” has 64 CP, and misses paying taxes for a 6 year period from 2015-2020. He pays taxes in the year of 2021, and as is required, he is deducted -600 CP for missing the previous 6 years. CP can’t be lower than 0, so he now has 0 CP for 2021. The next year he pays for 2022 and receives back the first +25 CP. He will now have 25 CP in total in 2022, If he pays again in 2023, he will have received back 50 CP. A fourth consecutive payment in 2024 will result in the receipt of only 14 more CP, because he cannot receive more than the amount which he lost by deductions (64). Citizen “A” will have received all 64 CP back by 2024.<br />
<br />
:Citizen “B” has 135 CP, and misses paying taxes for a 2 year period from 2019-2020. He pays taxes in the year of 2021, and as is required, is deducted -200 CP. Citizen “B” will now have 0 CP in 2021. Then he pays his taxes for 2022 and then receives back his first +25 CP. He will now have 25 CP in total in 2022. If he pays again in 2023, he will have received back 50 CP. A fourth consecutive payment in 2024 will result in the accumulation of 75 CP. Paying taxes again in 2025, however, he will receive back the remaining CP to the original 135 CP. All deducted CP is reimbursed at the time of the 5th uninterrupted year of tax payment.''<br />
<br />
'''IV.B.''' '''Renouncing citizenship or failing to answer the census:''' Citizens who renounce their citizenship or who fails to register on the census loses all CP. They can regain all CP back in the same manner as described above regarding the deduction for non-payment of taxes (in a maximum 5 year process).<br />
<br />
=V. Final Provisions=<br />
<br />
As the applicability of this law depends on the technical realization and programming of the of Census Points system in the infrastructure of the Album Civium (citizen database) website, this lex will take force only after the ''curator rei informaticae'' determines that the provisions of this law have been built into the Album Civium. At that time, an edict will be promulgated by the ''curator rei informaticae'' putting this law into effect.</div>Gaius Sempronius Scepsis Agricolahttp://novaroma.org/nr/Lex_Arria_de_censu_civium_aestimando_(Nova_Roma)Lex Arria de censu civium aestimando (Nova Roma)2021-11-09T09:27:24Z<p>Gaius Sempronius Scepsis Agricola: </p>
<hr />
<div>=Preamble= <br />
<br />
The Nova Roman people enacts the following law about the assessment of the citizens' census as the estimated civic value, their cultural and organizational wealth that they hold within Nova Roman society, and supersedes the ''lex Cornelia de punctis censualibus''. The form of government of the Old Roman Republic was aristocratic by plutocracy, the New Roman Republic is aristocratic by meritocracy. This law ensures that the meritocratic principles, and not money and birth, define influence and place in our revived Roman people. Accordingly, the purpose of this law is to encourage and reward merits, such as service to the ''res publica'', work and productive activity, especially conventions and live programs of citizens, intellectual contribution and financial contribution to Nova Roma, and to encourage the noble effort of citizens in learning all areas of Roman studies and Latin, the language of the Roman people, rewarding certified and demonstrated knowledge and expertise that are essential in the educational and historical mission of Nova Roma to restore and promote Roman culture.<br />
<br />
=I. Census Points=<br />
<br />
'''I.A.''' In ancient Rome, citizens were said ''"censum habere"'', i.e. "to possess the census of", followed by the wealth they had, and this census (wealth, value) classified them as members of the five classes or the equestrian order. In Nova Roma, our "wealth", our "census" is our merits toward our sacred goals, our knowledge about ancient Rome, our expertise in studies and practices that can help bring Romanitas into life and spread Roman culture and virtues in the world. The wealth of a Nova Roman citizen is the citizen's merits toward this mission, the service toward the republic which embodies this spiritual and educational mission. The assessment of the census (the "wealth in Romanitas") of the Nova Roman citizens is measured in Census Points (''Censualia Puncta'') which are merit points given for various aspects of contributions toward Nova Roma according to the aforementioned motivations of this law. Census Points are divided into the categories of Service Points, Treasury Points, Status Points, Activity Points, Award Points and Cultural Points so that all relevant areas of civic life can be assessed and valued.<br />
<br />
'''I.B.''' The assessment, registration and accounting of Census Points is within the power and duty of the censors. It shall be the responsibility of each citizen to review their Census Point account and ensure that all of their offices, statuses, titles, awards, and acquired points are represented. The censors shall strive to be as accurate as they can be, but it is only with the active cooperation and involvement of citizens that the censors can ensure the records are as close to perfection as possible.<br />
<br />
=II. Supervision and protection of Census Points=<br />
<br />
'''II.A.''' The censors are the supreme authority over the assessment of the Census Points of citizens, the supreme guardians and judges of the Census Point system. If any of the censors suspects a misuse of the Census Points, such as accumulative and unnecessary appointments of friends as officers in order to promote them in the social hierarchy, suspicious or accumulative appointments without any evidence of real work involved, unmerited Census Point awards, corrupt motivations, he is responsible to bring the case to the panel of the quaestors for investigation, as described at II.C, or directly to Nova Roman court if the censor is absolutely convinced and deem that the no preliminary investigation is needed.<br />
<br />
'''II.B.''' If, during exercising the regimen morum (supervision of public morality) in their power, the censors collegially determine that the citizen in question lost his reputation due to ignominious, disgraceful behavior and infamy, they can rescind those Award Point issues which they find unmerited, disgraced and undeserved. Such a penalty cannot be reversed just by the censors or by a lex. The censors cannot rescind other types of Census Points but Award Points without referring the case to the panel of quaestors first, or to turning to Nova Roman court.<br />
<br />
'''II.C.''' '''The Census Point Jury Panel of Quaestors.''' In order to ensure maximal safety and fairness of the Census Point system, the quaestors are also collectively entrusted with the surveillance and protection of the integrity of the Census Point assignments. In case a quaestor suspects any abuse of the Census Point system, as described at II.A., the quaestors as a collective panel shall investigate, judge, and report the case to the censors. If the majority of the quaestors determine that an appointment of an officer or another type of allocation of Census Points has been made out of corrupt motivations, the Census Points in question shall not be accounted for the citizen, and the quaestors shall bring the case to the praetor who shall determine if there is a need for a legal process against the abusers. A citizen who has lost Census Points due to the decision of the panel of the quaestors can also appeal to court if the citizen is convinced about the righteousness of his or her case. If both censors disagree with the decision of the quaestorial panel, they can jointly overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel if, at the same time, they refer the case to a Nova Roman court for a decision regarding the allocation of Census Points or the potential criminality of the involved parties. One censor alone cannot overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel, and the overturning of the panel’s decision can only take effect once the case has been referred to Nova Roman court.<br />
<br />
'''II.D.''' In case there is any doubt regarding the interpretation of the regulations and instructions in this law or the supervision, protections, functioning and mechanisms of the Census Point system, the censors shall decide the interpretation by edict.<br />
<br />
=III. Categories of Census Points=<br />
<br />
==III.A. Service Points==<br />
<br />
'''III.A.1.''' There shall be two types of Service Points, Past Service Points and Current Office Service Points, which are of the same amount, with the following exception: for the duration of service Current Office Service Points include an extra amount of Census Points to magistrates in order to enhance their social status and influence during their tenure of office which helps them in creating a stable government. Other officers don't receive an extra amount of Census Points for their Current Office Service Points. Past Service Points are given to all officers for past offices.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.2.''' Service points are given per terms if the position has a fixed time term. If the position is repeated by prorogation, each started prorogation counts as a new term. If the title of a governor changes, it does not count as a new term. Only a new appointment or a new prorogation counts as a new term.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.3.''' If the position has an indefinite term, excepting governors, or linked to the superior's term, Service Points (either Current Office or Past) are calculated cumulatively after each completed one year period (12 months): the first amount is given at the moment of appointment (as Current Office Service Point), the second after starting the next year (one amount for Current Office, another for Past), the third after starting the third year (one amount for Current Office, two amounts for Past) etc. Governors may not receive additional Census Points for a longer than 12 month service without prorogation. The term of apparitors and other lower officers appointed by higher officers, if not otherwise defined in the appointment, is considered to be the same as the term of their appointing superior, or the date when the appointing superior honorably discharges his lower officer. Honorable discharge is not considered removal from office, but completion of term.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.4.''' If an officer serves only part of the term of office, only partial Census Points shall be given. The amount of Census Points shall be based on three-month increments rounding down (one partial amount for each completed three month period, plus one amount equal to a three-month partial amount in addition just for entering office), calculated from the original length of the full term of their office. In case of officers with indefinite or flexible term of office, the full length of the term of office shall be considered one year (12 months). If, before the time of prorogations, a governor resigns against the will of the senate or is removed from office, the governor receives only partial Past Service Points which shall be calculated based on how many months he spent in service, as described in the previous sentence, but not more than what is due for 12 months. If the governor resigns or is removed after 12 months in office, they shall receive no more than what is due for one full term. Resignation, when it is a traditional stepping down from office due to custom, does not count as a resignation: the resignation of extraordinary magistrates, the dictator, magister equitum, or of other extraordinary officers appointed for a task with a term but having finished the task sooner, or the resignation of a censor after the death or resignation of their colleague do not count as resignations but complete terms.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
:'''Municipal Decurionate Order''':<br />

<br />
:'''Princeps Iuventutis'''<br />
:400 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
'''III.B.3.b.''' The status of the first senator of the senate of Nova Roma, designated so by the censors during census, shall be recognized by the following Status Points:<br />
<br />
:'''Princeps Senatus''':<br />
:1000 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
==III.C. Treasury Points==<br />
<br />
Treasury Points are given as a reward for special contributions to the Nova Roman treasury during taxation periods and serve to help establish a proper restoration of the equestrian order in Nova Roma.<br />
<br />
'''III.C.1.''' Smaller donations (5 times the basic tax) are recognized as preliminary membership in the equestrian order, and recognized with the title ''“tribunus aerarius equestris”'', and an advancement by one class upwards; large donations (15 times the basic tax) are rewarded with full membership in the private equestrian order:<br />
<br />
:'''Citizens paying 5 times the basic tax (3 times the basic tax for Roman reenactors and officially certified Latinists)''':<br />
:25 CP Treasury Points plus the title ''tribunus aerarius equestris<br />
''<br />
:'''Citizens paying 15 times the basic tax (9 times the basic tax for Roman reenactors and officially certified Latinists)''':<br />
:400 CP Treasury Points plus the title ''eques equo privato''<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.''' Reenactors and certified Latinists shall receive the same amounts of Treasury Points and honors for a slightly smaller amount of donation (for 3 and 9 times the basic tax). The reasoning for the reduction in case of reenactors is that reenactors might more pressingly need the authorization to wear equestrian insignia at events where they also promote and represent Nova Roma, therefore the reduction in required donation is justified by the service they do for Nova Roma in the field, and by the fact that they are more likely than non-reenactors actually to buy the equestrian clothing and insignia which causes them additional costs above the donation. The reasoning for the reduction in case of Latinists is that they are vital and integral in the mission of Nova Roma to restore the Roman people, because without the Roman language, there is no Roman people, and accordingly Nova Roma wishes to raise the status of accomplished Latinists within the society.<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.a.''' '''Reenactors''' can be recognized as such by presenting photographic evidence to the censors and registering the name of the reenactment group where they belong (if there’s any). Reenactors applying for this reduction agree that the presented photographs can be used in publications of the websites and internet pages of Nova Roma.<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.b.''' '''Latinists''' can be recognized as such by presenting the censors a certification, obtained through a Latin examination by a Nova Roman educational institution, or outside Nova Roma, which proves Latin fluency in writing. In the absence of such a document, the censors can assign the task of examination to a Nova Roman committee of Latin teachers, described at III.D.1.b.ii., who shall decide if the applicant for the status of Latinist may be qualified as having Latin fluency in writing.<br />
<br />

<br />

:20 CP Cultural Points<br />
<br />
'''III.D.1.a.ii.''' '''Nova Roman Courses.'''

<br />
'''III.D.1.b.ii.''' '''Censorial Committee of Latin Teachers.'''

:1000 CP Award Points<br />
<br />
=IV. Census Point Deductions=<br />
<br />
Census points can be deducted from citizens as measures defined by law in order to discourage certain behaviors and in order that the Census Points may not only accumulate but also decrease in justified cases, which creates a more balanced pattern determined by the sense of duty and commitment of the citizens.<br />
<br />
'''IV.A.''' '''Deduction for non-payment of taxes:''' After each year that tax is not paid, the citizen shall receive a 100 CP deduction, until the census of the citizen reaches 0 CP. This deduction shall be calculated only when the citizen makes the first new payment after the hiatus. The citizen receives this deduction for the first new payment. When the citizen consecutively pays their tax again in the next year, they will start receiving back +25 CP for each new year of taxes paid, eventually reverting all the deductions for non-payment. When, after any payment hiatus, the citizen has paid continuously for five consecutive years (in the 5th year after the hiatus), they will receive back all remaining deducted CP at once.<br />
<br />
:Examples:<br />
<br />
:Citizen “A” has 64 CP, and misses paying taxes for a 6 year period from 2015-2020. He pays taxes in the year of 2021, and as is required, he is deducted -600 CP for missing the previous 6 years. CP can’t be lower than 0, so he now has 0 CP for 2021. The next year he pays for 2022 and receives back the first +25 CP. He will now have 25 CP in total in 2022, If he pays again in 2023, he will have received back 50 CP. A fourth consecutive payment in 2024 will result in the receipt of only 14 more CP, because he cannot receive more than the amount which he lost by deductions (64). Citizen “A” will have received all 64 CP back by 2024.<br />
<br />
:Citizen “B” has 135 CP, and misses paying taxes for a 2 year period from 2019-2020. He pays taxes in the year of 2021, and as is required, is deducted -200 CP. Citizen “B” will now have 0 CP in 2021. Then he pays his taxes for 2022 and then receives back his first +25 CP. He will now have 25 CP in total in 2022. If he pays again in 2023, he will have received back 50 CP. A fourth consecutive payment in 2024 will result in the accumulation of 75 CP. Paying taxes again in 2025, however, he will receive back the remaining CP to the original 135 CP. All deducted CP is reimbursed at the time of the 5th uninterrupted year of tax payment.''<br />

== BIOGRAPHY ==<br />
[[File:Agricola Roman sites visited NR.jpg|600px|thumb|right|Roman sites visited by Scepsis Agricola]]In his home country, Australia, Scepsis Agricola earned his Post Graduate Diploma in International Trade. Whilst always having an affinity with the land, being the son of an immigrant Italian farmer, he lived the first 18 years of life on a vineyard in rural Victoria, Australia. It wasn’t until 2010 that Scepsis Agricola’s interest in the ancient Roman Republic was awakened.<br />
<br />
Commencing with private reading and research of Roman military history and leaders, Scepsis Agricola has also studied specific online courses including “Hadrian's Wall: Life on the Roman Frontier” by the UK’s Newcastle University, “The Fall of the Roman Republic” by Colorado State University and “Archaeology of Portus” University of Southampton.[[File:Scepsis_Agricola_Legio_X_Aquilifer.jpg|236px|thumb|left|Scepsis Agricola - Legio X Aquilifer]]<br />
<br />
<br />
In 2015, Scepsis Agricola visited Rome for the first time and felt an instant connection, resulting in him making the 23 hour long pilgrimage from Melbourne, Australia, to Rome again in 2016 spending a week in the Italian capitol, 300 meters from the ancient Forum. Scepsis Agricola has the ambition of visiting as many Roman archaeological sites as possible in his lifetime.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 2017, Scepsis Agricola joined the newly founded Roman reenactment group [https://www.ancientrrv.com/ Ancient Roman Re-enactors Victoria (ARRV)] and assumed the administrative role of Treasurer. Drawn to the military arm of ARRV, Legio X Fretensis, Scepsis Agricola quickly rose to the rank of Aquilifer. Under his guidance and leadership, ARRV grew to become a multidimensional representation of Ancient Rome, including civilian as well as military aspects. ARRV's commitment to historical accuracy has enabled the group to host civilian and military living history displays. ARRV was welcomed by the National Museum of Australia in January 2019 to form a supplementary part of the feature British Museum exhibit "Rome: City and Empire". Under Scepsis Agricola's contribution and drive, ARRV established a cooperative arrangement with the Faculty of Arts from Australia's leading university, [//https://youtu.be/80jYxWD19S8/The University of Melbourne], to establish a living history display to promote their Ancient World Studies course to prospective future students.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In late 2019 Scepsis Agricola met with D. Aurelius Ingeniarius, Legatus Pro Praetore Australiae of Provincia Australia, who introduced him to Nova Roma and in March 2020 he became a citizen. Since joining, Scepsis Agricola has been diligently working under the direction of the Legatus Pro Praetore in re-organising the civic life and promoting activity of Nova Roman Provincia Australia.<br />

In 2015, Scepsis Agricola visited Rome for the first time and felt an instant connection, resulting in him making the 23 hour long pilgrimage from Melbourne, Australia, to Rome again in 2016 spending a week in the Italian capitol, 300 meters from the ancient Forum. Scepsis Agricola has the ambition of visiting as many Roman archaeological sites as possible in his lifetime.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 2017, Scepsis Agricola joined the newly founded Roman reenactment group [https://www.ancientrrv.com/ Ancient Roman Re-enactors Victoria (ARRV)] and assumed the administrative role of Treasurer. Drawn to the military arm of ARRV, Legio X Fretensis, Scepsis Agricola quickly rose to the rank of Aquilifer. Under his guidance and leadership, ARRV grew to become a multidimensional representation of Ancient Rome, including civilian as well as military aspects. ARRV's commitment to historical accuracy has enabled the group to host civilian and military living history displays. ARRV was welcomed by the National Museum of Australia in January 2019 to form a supplementary part of the feature British Museum exhibit "Rome: City and Empire". Under Scepsis Agricola's contribution and drive, ARRV established a cooperative arrangement with the Faculty of Arts from Australia's leading university, [//https://youtu.be/80jYxWD19S8/The University of Melbourne], to establish a living history display to promote their Ancient World Studies course to prospective future students.<br />

In late 2019 Scepsis Agricola met with D. Aurelius Ingeniarius, Legatus Pro Praetore Australiae of Provincia Australia, who introduced him to Nova Roma and in March 2020 he became a citizen. Since joining, Scepsis Agricola has been diligently working under the direction of the Legatus Pro Praetore in re-organising the civic life and promoting activity of Nova Roman Provincia Australia.<br />

<br />
== BIOGRAPHY ==<br />
In his home country, Australia, Scepsis Agricola earned his Post Graduate Diploma in International Trade. Whilst always having an affinity with the land, being the son of an immigrant Italian farmer, he lived the first 18 years of life on a vineyard in rural Victoria, Australia. It wasn’t until 2010 that Scepsis Agricola’s interest in the ancient Roman Republic was awakened.<br />
<br />
Commencing with private reading and research of Roman military history and leaders, Scepsis Agricola has also studied specific online courses including “Hadrian's Wall: Life on the Roman Frontier” by the UK’s Newcastle University, “The Fall of the Roman Republic” by Colorado State University and “Archaeology of Portus” University of Southampton.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 2015, Scepsis Agricola visited Rome for the first time and felt an instant connection, resulting in him making the 23 hour long pilgrimage from Melbourne, Australia, to Rome again in 2016 spending a week in the Italian capitol, 300 meters from the ancient Forum. Scepsis Agricola has the ambition of visiting as many Roman archaeological sites as possible in his lifetime.<br />

<br />
<br />
In 2017, Scepsis Agricola joined the newly founded Roman reenactment group Ancient Roman Re-enactors Victoria (ARRV) and assumed the administrative role of Treasurer. Drawn to the military arm of ARRV, Legio X Fretensis, Scepsis Agricola quickly rose to the rank of Aquilifer. Under his guidance and leadership, ARRV grew to become a multidimensional representation of Ancient Rome, including civilian as well as military aspects. ARRV's commitment to historical accuracy has enabled the group to host civilian and military living history displays. ARRV was welcomed by the National Museum of Australia in January 2019 to form a supplementary part of the feature British Museum exhibit "Rome: City and Empire". Under Scepsis Agricola's contribution and drive, ARRV established a cooperative arrangement with the Faculty of Arts from Australia's leading university, Melbourne University, to establish a living history display to promote their Ancient World Studies course to prospective future students.<br />
<br />
In late 2019 Scepsis Agricola met with D. Aurelius Ingeniarius, Legatus Pro Praetore Australiae of Provincia Australia, who introduced him to Nova Roma and in March 2020 he became a citizen. Since joining, Scepsis Agricola has been diligently working under the direction of the Legatus Pro Praetore in re-organising the civic life and promoting activity of Nova Roman Provincia Australia.<br />

Sempronius Scepsis Agricola is currently serving as '''[[Quaestor (Nova Roma)|''quaestor'']]''' of the Nova Roman Republic, and appointed provincial quaestor to the legatus pro praetore of Australia, D.

<br />
BIOGRAPHY<br />
In his home country, Australia, Scepsis Agricola earned his Post Graduate Diploma in International Trade. Whilst always having an affinity with the land, being the son of an immigrant Italian farmer, he lived the first 18 years of life on a vineyard in rural Victoria, Australia. It wasn’t until 2010 that Scepsis Agricola’s interest in the ancient Roman Republic was awakened.<br />
<br />
Commencing with private reading and research of Roman military history and leaders, Scepsis Agricola has also studied specific online courses including “Hadrian's Wall: Life on the Roman Frontier” by the UK’s Newcastle University, “The Fall of the Roman Republic” by Colorado State University and “Archaeology of Portus” University of Southampton.<br />
<br />
In 2015, Scepsis Agricola visited Rome for the first time and felt an instant connection, resulting in him making the 23 hour long pilgrimage from Melbourne, Australia, to Rome again in 2016 spending a week in the Italian capitol, 300 meters from the ancient Forum. Scepsis Agricola has the ambition of visiting as many Roman archaeological sites as possible in his lifetime.<br />
<br />
In 2017, Scepsis Agricola joined the newly founded Roman reenactment group Ancient Roman Re-enactors Victoria (ARRV) and assumed the administrative role of Treasurer. Drawn to the military arm of ARRV, Legio X Fretensis, Scepsis Agricola quickly rose to the rank of Aquilifer. Under his guidance and leadership, ARRV grew to become a multidimensional representation of Ancient Rome, including civilian as well as military aspects. ARRV's commitment to historical accuracy has enabled the group to host civilian and military living history displays. ARRV was welcomed by the National Museum of Australia in January 2019 to form a supplementary part of the feature British Museum exhibit "Rome: City and Empire". Under Scepsis Agricola's contribution and drive, ARRV established a cooperative arrangement with the Faculty of Arts from Australia's leading university, Melbourne University, to establish a living history display to promote their Ancient World Studies course to prospective future students.<br />
<br />
In late 2019 Scepsis Agricola met with D. Aurelius Ingeniarius, Legatus Pro Praetore Australiae of Provincia Australia, who introduced him to Nova Roma and in March 2020 he became a citizen. Since joining, Scepsis Agricola has been diligently working under the direction of the Legatus Pro Praetore in re-organising the civic life and promoting activity of Nova Roman Provincia Australia.<br />

<br />
== III. The Roman format of laws ==<br />
<br />
All laws of Nova Roma shall be phrased and written according to ancient Roman formal requirements.

In order to be appointed to this position, an MA degree university diploma from Latin language and literature or from Classical Philology shall be presented to the appointing praetor.

<br />
'''IV.C.''' In the process of correcting the names of the leges, the name of the legislator of a lex after whom the lex was named may not be changed if the person was a consul or praetor (if the lex was made in a comitia centuriata or comitia populi tributa) or a tribunus plebis (if it was made by the plebeian assembly) at the time the lex was enacted, even if the person wasn't involved in the convening or presiding of the comitia which enacted the lex. <br />
<br />
'''IV.D.''' It shall not be possible to change anything in any legal text in any other way than as described in this law.<br />
<br />
== V. Modification of laws ==<br />
<br />
If a law is modified by another law, the modified law shall contain the original, unmodified text, and the new, modified text, too. The modifying laws and the modified sections shall be noted in the publication of the modified law. Each modified version of a law shall be displayed in full text separately but in the same page (or available from the same page, the matrix page of that law) in the tabularium. The current version of a law shall always be the first and most prominent, most easily available text of the law in question. The praetores shall decide in edict about the interpretations whether a certain law modifies, supersedes or repeals another law or not when it is not clearly stated in the law itself.</div>Gaius Sempronius Scepsis Agricolahttp://novaroma.org/nr/Lex_Hortensia_de_legibus_scribundis_(Nova_Roma)Lex Hortensia de legibus scribundis (Nova Roma)2021-02-02T12:44:30Z<p>Gaius Sempronius Scepsis Agricola: </p>

== I. The Roman names of leges ==<br />
<br />
All leges of the Nova Roman people, the Quirites, past and future, shall be named after the magistrate who put them to vote and presided over their enactment. Even if the actual author who wrote the lex was a different person, regarding the auspices of the law and according to the Roman principles of formality, the legal author is always the convening and presiding magistrate and all leges shall be named after that magistrate. The name of the law shall derive from the nomen gentile of the magistrate.<br />
<br />
'''I.A.''' It is possible for a lex to bear two names of the two magistrates if the convening magistrate wants to recognize the authorship of his or her colleague. The following options shall be permitted: a lex can be named after the two consules, after two praetores or after two of tribuni plebis. No other combination of magistrates is permitted. If the authoring officer was is a special officer, for example a dictator, consular tribune or other kind of officer with the power to legislate, the lex shall be named after the authoring officer, but with a maximum of two authoring officers of the same rank and title.<br />
<br />
'''I.B.''' It shall be possible for a presiding magistrate of a legislative comitia to have a co-chairman who is a colleague in the same office for the session and to name the lex after the co-chairing colleague. Alternatively it also shall be possible to hold two comitia sessions at the same time, in complete concert regarding the schedules of the sessions, jointly with another magistrate and to name the lex after the magistrate convening the joint session. However, a lex can bear the name of the colleague of a single chairman presiding magistrate, too, if the presiding magistrate decides so, as described in section I.A.<br />

<hr />
<div>=Preamble= <br />
<br />
The Nova Roman people enacts the following law about the assessment of the citizens' census as the estimated civic value, their cultural and organizational wealth that they hold within Nova Roman society, and supersedes the ''lex Cornelia de punctis censualibus''.<br />
<br />
:AURELIUS: The Nova Roman people enact the following law on the citizens’ census and civic worth. This law defines the cultural and organizational wealth a citizen holds in Nova Roman society. With this law in force, the previous lex Cornelia de punctis censualibus is now superseded.<br />
:LENTULUS: '''COUNTER SUGGESTION''' The Nova Roman people enact the following law ON the assessment of the citizens' census, the estimated civic WORTH, their cultural and organizational wealth HELD in Nova Roman society, SUPERSEDING the lex Cornelia de punctis censualibus. ...OR: "WHICH SUPERSEDES the lex Cornelia..."<br />
:AURELIUS: '''COMMENT''' I am happy with the sentence grammatically as per the counter suggestion. I think I took issue with describing the law as an "assessment". I am probably just being pedantic. I have no further issue here.<br />
:LENTULUS: '''CASE CLOSED'''. <br />
<br />
The form of government of the Old Roman Republic was aristocratic by plutocracy, the New Roman Republic is aristocratic by meritocracy. This law ensures that the meritocratic principles, and not money and birth, define influence and place in our revived Roman people. Accordingly, the purpose of this law is to encourage and reward merits,<br />
<br />
:AURELIUS: merit,<br />
:LENTULUS: '''APPROVED'''. '''CASE CLOSED'''.<br />
<br />
such as service to the ''res publica'', work and productive activity, especially conventions and live programs of citizens, intellectual contribution and financial contribution to Nova Roma, and to encourage <br />
<br />
:AURELIUS: contribution to Nova Roma. It also seeks to encourage<br />
:LENTULUS: '''COUNTER SUGGESTION''' What if we would delete "to encourage", so it would read just: "contribution to Nova Roma, and"... If this is just a stylistic flaw, we should not change.<br />
:AURELIUS: '''COMMENT''' Agreed. The "to encourage" is unnecessary. We've created an in-line list in this sentence and the "to encourage" is not required. <br />
:LENTULUS: '''CASE CLOSED'''. <br />
<br />
the noble effort of citizens in learning all areas of Roman studies and Latin, <br />
<br />
:AURELIUS: the noble effort of citizens to participate in Roman studies and learn Latin,<br />
:LENTULUS: '''COUNTER SUGGESTION''' Wouldn't be this good, too? "to participate in all areas of Roman studies and Latin," The author wanted to express the idea "to encourage making efforts in Roman studies". The phrase "efforts in" isn't good?<br />
:AURELIUS: '''COMMENT''' Your new suggestion is better. The original line "...''citizens in learning'' all areas of ''Roman studies''..." felt unusual to read. The use of "participate in" is much better.<br />
:LENTULUS: '''CASE CLOSED'''. <br />
<br />
the language of the Roman people, rewarding certified and demonstrated knowledge and expertise<br />
<br />
:AURELIUS: rewarding certified, demonstrated knowledge and expertise<br />
:LENTULUS: '''APPROVED'''. '''CASE CLOSED'''.<br />
<br />
that are essential in the educational and historical mission of Nova Roma to restore and promote Roman culture.<br />
<br />
=I. Census Points=<br />
<br />
'''I.A.''' In ancient Rome, citizens were said ''"censum habere"'', i.e. "to possess the census of", followed by the wealth they had, and this census (wealth, value) classified them as members of the five classes or the equestrian order. <br />
<br />
:AURELIUS: citizens were said to have ''"censum habere"'', referring to the wealth they possessed. This census (wealth, value) classified them as members across five classes or the equestrian order. <br />
:LENTULUS: '''COUNTER SUGGESTION''' "Censum habere" means "to have a wealth of..." The word census means "wealth" in this context. This phrase was followed by an amount they were estimated to posses. What about the following:<br />
:"In ancient Rome, citizens were said ''"censum habere"'', i.e. "to possess the census of (followed by an estimated amount of the wealth), and this "census" (meaning "wealth", "value") classified them as members across five classes or the equestrian order."<br />
:AURELIUS: '''COMMENT''' This new suggestion is satisfactory. It is still unusual to read where we introduce 'censum habere'. If we stated the English translation first, then introduced the Latin phrase then that would be easier on the reader. Minor, I am just nitpicking.<br />
:LENTULUS: '''CASE CLOSED''': We are allowed to make only the absolutely necessary changes.<br />
<br />
In Nova Roma, our "wealth", our "census" is our merits toward our sacred goals, our knowledge about ancient Rome,<br />
<br />
:AURELIUS: is our social and political merit, as well as our contribution toward our sacred goals. It is the recognition of our knowledge....<br />
:LENTULUS: '''COUNTER SUGGESTION''' "is our merit accrued through our service and contribution toward our sacred goals, and through our knowledge....<br />
:AURELIUS" '''COMMENT''' Nothing wrong with your new suggestion, but a key intent of my change was to introduce a full stop in there. Readability score for this line is too high. <br />
:LENTULUS: '''CASE CLOSED''': Improving readability is not within the scope of allowed changes: grammatical and orthographic mistakes, wrong, nonsensical or mistaken phraseology can be corrected, but we are not allowed to re-write the text of the low for reasons of better readability or nicer style. We are allowed to make only the absolutely necessary changes witjout which the text would look incorrect or broken English.<br />
<br />
our expertise in studies and practices that can help bring Romanitas into life and spread Roman culture and virtues in the world.<br />
<br />
:AURELIUS: bring Romanitas to life and spread Roman culture and virtues across the world.<br />
:LENTULUS: '''APPROVED'''. '''CASE CLOSED'''.<br />
<br />
The wealth of a Nova Roman citizen is the citizen's merits toward this mission, the service toward the republic<br />
<br />
:AURELIUS: citizen is their contributions toward this mission, and their service to the republic...<br />
:LENTULUS: '''DEBATE''' This takes out an important definition. In ancient Rome, census meant financial wealth. In Nova Roma census means a wealth of merits. The wealth of a Nova Roman citizen is the citizen's merits. How could we express this, and to change as few words as possible? <br />
:'''DISCUSSION ON "THEIR"''' I would like to discuss the use of the pronoun "their" for singular, because even if it's good in contemporary colloquial English, in order to have a more old fashioned text as befits a Roman law, we should aim a little "nobler" style with patina. In ancient Rome laws were written in an a form of archaic Latin in an older style than the current spoken language. This effect can be achieved in our English, too, if we try to write it in a style like how characters would speak in a Roman themed movie, or how characters speak in the big epic movies of the 1950s for example. I think they wouldn't say "The wealth of a Nova Roman citizen is their contributions...", but I believe they would rather say "The wealth of a Nova Roman citizen is one's contributions..." or "The wealth of a Nova Roman citizen is his or her contributions...". Or would they speak this way in an older, nobler register of English? In 2010, Choy and Clark ''(Choy, Penelope; Clark, Dorothy Goldbart (2010). Basic Grammar and Usage (8th ed.). Cengage Learning. ISBN 978-1-428-21155-1.)'' still recommend the use of generic he "in formal speech or writing". In this current instance here, I am inclined to agree with "their", but in many instances, I'd rather replace it with other solutions.<br />
:AURELIUS: '''COUNTER SUGGESTION''' Noting your requirements, perhaps a different change is in order. The sentence was hard to digest, probably due to readability. Perhaps introduce more full stops for emphasis. As a side note, agreed with your view on "their" for plural cases only. It is just so common place in English now it isn't questioned. In instances, let's find another way. My new suggestion:<br />
:"The wealth of a Nova Roman citizen is the citizen's merits toward this mission. These merits reflect a citizen's service toward the republic which embodies this spiritual and educational mission." <br />
:LENTULUS: '''APPROVED'''. '''CASE CLOSED'''.<br />
<br />
which embodies this spiritual and educational mission. The assessment of the census (the "wealth in Romanitas") of the Nova Roman citizens is measured in Census Points (''Censualia Puncta'') which are merit points given for various aspects of contributions toward Nova Roma <br />
:AURELIUS: merit points given for contributions towards various aspects of Nova Roma<br />
:LENTULUS: '''APPROVED'''. '''CASE CLOSED'''.<br />
<br />
according to the aforementioned motivations of this law. Census Points are divided into the categories of Service Points, Treasury Points, Status Points, Activity Points, Award Points and Cultural Points so that all relevant areas of civic life can be assessed and valued.<br />
<br />
'''I.B.''' The assessment, registration and accounting of Census Points is within the power and duty of the censors.<br />
:AURELIUS: accounting of Census Points are the duty of the censors.<br />
:LENTULUS: '''APPROVED'''. '''CASE CLOSED'''.<br />
<br />
It shall be the responsibility of each citizen to review their Census Point account and ensure that all of their offices, statuses, titles, awards, and acquired points are represented. The censors shall strive to be as accurate as they can be, but it is only with the active cooperation and involvement of citizens that the censors can ensure the records are as close to perfection as possible.<br />
<br />
=II. Supervision and protection of Census Points=<br />
<br />
'''II.A.''' The censors are the supreme authority over the assessment of the Census Points of citizens, the supreme guardians and judges of the Census Point system. If any of the censors suspects a misuse of the Census Points, such as accumulative and unnecessary appointments of friends as officers in order to promote them in the social hierarchy, suspicious or accumulative appointments without any evidence of real work involved, unmerited Census Point awards, corrupt motivations, he is responsible to bring the case to the panel of the quaestors for investigation, as described at II.C, or directly to Nova Roman court if the censor is absolutely convinced and deem that the no preliminary investigation is needed.<br />
<br />
:SEMPRONIUS: unmerited Census Point awards or corrupt motivations, he is responsible to bring the case to the panel of quaestors<br />
:LENTULUS: '''APPROVED'''. He can be converted to: "the quaestor".<br />
:SEMPRONIUS:"he" converted to "the censor": the censor is responsible to bring<br />
:LENTULUS: '''APPROVED'''. <br />
:SEMPRONIUS: and deem that no preliminary investigation is needed.<br />
:LENTULUS: '''APPROVED'''. '''CASE CLOSED'''.<br />
<br />
'''II.B.''' If, during exercising the regimen morum (supervision of public morality) in their power, the censors collegially determine that the citizen in question lost his reputation due to ignominious, disgraceful behavior and infamy, <br />
<br />
they can rescind those Award Point issues which they find unmerited, disgraced and undeserved. Such a penalty cannot be reversed just by the censors or by a lex. The censors cannot rescind other types of Census Points but Award Points without referring the case to the panel of quaestors first, or to turning to Nova Roman court.<br />
<br />
:SEMPRONIUS: they can rescind those Award Points issued which they find unmerited, disgraced and undeserved. Such a penalty cannot be reversed just by the censors or by a lex. The censors cannot rescind other types of Census Points without referring the case to the panel of quaestors first, or to a Nova Roman court.<br />
:LENTULUS: '''PROBLEM'''. You cut "Award Points" but it is essential here. They are a type of CP that can be removed. Other types of CP can't. This must be mentioned here. How it should be added? Isn't "but Award Points" good?<br />
:SEMPRONIUS: Point accepted...it is clunky as written, how is:<br />
:The censors can rescind Award Points, but cannot rescind other types of Census Points without referring the case to the panel of quaestors first, or to a Nova Roman court.<br />
:LENTULUS: '''APPROVED'''. '''Is this still OK:''' "The censors can rescind '''ONLY''' Award Points, but cannot..."<br />
:SEMPRONIUS: "The censors can rescind Award Points only, they cannot..." '''is OK'''<br />
:LENTULUS: '''CASE CLOSED'''.<br />
<br />
'''II.C.''' '''The Census Point Jury Panel of Quaestors.''' In order to ensure maximal safety and fairness of the Census Point system, the quaestors are also collectively entrusted with the surveillance and protection of the <br />
<br />
:SEMPRONIUS: In order to ensure maximum safety and fairness<br />
:LENTULUS: '''APPROVED'''. '''CASE CLOSED'''.<br />
<br />
integrity of the Census Point assignments. In case a quaestor suspects any abuse of the Census Point system, as described at II.A., the quaestors as a collective panel shall investigate, judge, and report the case to the censors. If the majority of the quaestors determine that an appointment of an officer or another type of allocation of Census Points has been made out of corrupt motivations, the Census Points in question shall not be accounted for the citizen, <br />
<br />
:SEMPRONIUS: the Census Points in question shall not be counted for the citizen<br />
:LENTULUS: '''APPROVED'''. '''CASE CLOSED'''.<br />
<br />
and the quaestors shall bring the case to the praetor who shall determine if there is a need for a legal process against the abusers. A citizen who has lost Census Points due the decision of the panel of the quaestors can also <br />
<br />
:SEMPRONIUS: lost Census Points due to the decision of the panel<br />
:LENTULUS: '''APPROVED'''<br />
<br />
appeal to court if he is convinced about the righteousness of his case. If both censors disagree with the decision of the quaestorial panel, they can jointly overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel if, by the same action, they<br />
<br />
:SEMPRONIUS: appeal to court if the citizen is convinced about the righteousness of their case.<br />
:LENTULUS: '''COUNTER SUGGESTION''' "his or her case".<br />
:SEMPRONIUS: '''OK'''<br />

refer the case to Nova Roman court for decision regarding the allocation of Census Points or the potential criminality of the involved parties. Only one censor cannot overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel, and the overturning of the panel’s decision cannot take effect as long as the case is not referred to Nova Roman court.<br />
<br />
:SEMPRONIUS: One censor alone cannot overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel,<br />
:LENTULUS: '''APPROVED'''<br />
:::SEMPRONIUS: I am not sure of the meaning of the "and the overturning of the panel’s decision cannot take effect as long as the case is not referred to Nova Roman court." Does it mean that only a Nova Roman Court can overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel? In which case it might read: the overturning of the panel’s decision can only take effect by referring it to a Nova Roman court.<br />
:::LENTULUS: '''DISCUSSION''' It means that if the censor wants to cancel the decision of the quaestorial panel, he can do it ONLY both censors in concert turn to NR court for a final decision. The censors' overturning of the quaestors' decision is temporary as long as the final decision is not made by a NR court.<br />
:::SEMPRONIUS: If both censors disagree with the decision of the quaestorial panel, they can jointly overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel if, by the same action, they refer the case to a Nova Roman court for a final decision regarding the allocation of Census Points or the potential criminality of the involved parties. One censor alone cannot overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel. The censors' overturning of the quaestors' decision is temporary, pending the final decision being made by a Nova Roman court.<br />
:::LENTULUS: '''TOO MUCH ADDITION'''. This part should be more conserved, like: "One censor alone cannot overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel, and the overturning of the panel’s decision cannot take effect '''as long as the censors haven't brought the case to Nova Roman court'''."<br />
:::FURTHER COMMENT: What do you say? The sentence wants to say that the cancellation of the panel's decision cannot take effect if the censors don't bring the case to NR court. If they cancel the panel's decision, but don't bring it to court, it's invalid. So it is not even temporary, but simply nothing, illegal, invalid. But the panel's decision is annulled by the censors' intervention, if the censors, at the same time, bring the case to the NR court.<br />
:::SEMPRONIUS: Thank you for explaining as I did not understand it that way. Does the below preserve the intent while explaining better:<br />
:::A citizen who has lost Census Points due the decision of the panel of the quaestors can also appeal to court if the citizen is convinced about the righteousness of his or her case. If both censors disagree with the decision of the quaestorial panel, they can jointly overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel if, at the same time, they refer the case to a Nova Roman court for a decision regarding the allocation of Census Points or the potential criminality of the involved parties. One censor alone cannot overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel, and the overturning of the panel’s decision can only take effect once the case has been referred to Nova Roman court.<br />

<br />
'''II.D.''' In case there is any doubt regarding the interpretation of the regulations and instructions in this law or the supervision, protections, functioning and mechanisms of the Census Point system, the censors shall decide the interpretation by edict.<br />
<br />
=III. Categories of Census Points=<br />
<br />
==III.A. Service Points==<br />
<br />
'''III.A.1.''' There shall be two types of Service Points, Past Service Points and Current Office Service Points, which are of the same amount, with the following exception: for the duration of service Current Office Service Points include an extra amount of Census Points to magistrates in order to enhance their social status and influence during their tenure of office which helps them in creating a stable government. Other officers don't receive an extra amount of Census Points for their Current Office Service Points. Past Service Points are given to all officers for past offices.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.2.''' Service points are given per terms if the position has a fixed time term. If the position is repeated by prorogation, each started prorogation counts as a new term. If the title of a governor changes, it does not count as a new term. Only a new appointment or a new prorogation counts as a new term.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.3.''' If the position has an indefinite term, excepting governors, or linked to the superior's term, Service Points (either Current Office or Past) are calculated cumulatively after each completed one year period (12 months): the first amount is given at the moment of appointment (as Current Office Service Point), the second after starting the next year (one amount for Current Office, another for Past), the third after starting the third year (one amount for Current Office, two amounts for Past) etc. Governors may not receive additional Census Points for a longer than 12 month service without prorogation. The term of apparitors and other lower officers appointed by higher officers, if not otherwise defined in the appointment, is considered to be the same as the term of their appointing superior, or the date when the appointing superior honorably discharges his lower officer. Honorable discharge is not considered removal from office, but completion of term.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.4.''' If an officer serves only part of the term of office, only partial Census Point amount shall be given, which shall be based on three-month increments rounding down (one partial amount for each completed three month <br />
<br />
:SEMPRONIUS: If an officer serves only part of the term of office, only partial Census Points shall be given. The amount of Census Points shall be based on three-month increments rounding down<br />

<br />
period, plus one amount equal to a three-month partial amount in addition just for entering office), calculated from the original length of the full term of their office. In case of officers with indefinite or flexible term of office, the full length of the term of office shall be considered one year (12 months). If, before the time of prorogations, a governor resigns against the will of the senate or is removed from office, the governor receives only partial Past Service Points which shall be calculated based on how many months he spent in service, as described in the previous sentence, but not more than what is due for 12 months. If the governor resigns or is removed after 12 months in office, he shall receive no more than what is due for one full term. Resignation, when it is a traditional stepping down from office due to custom, does not count as a resignation: the resignation of extraordinary magistrates, the dictator, magister equitum, or of other extraordinary officers appointed for a task with a term but having finished the task sooner, or the resignation of a censor after the death or resignation of his colleague do not count as resignations but complete terms.<br />

Nobilis consular family names shall be considered those which were borne by at least one consul of the old republic and empire, or of the new republic (title starting with the offspring):<br />
<br />
:'''Nobilitas Consularis''':<br />

<br />
:'''Homo Novus''':<br />

<br />

<br />
:'''Municipal Decurionate Order''':<br />
:5 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
'''III.B.3.b.''' The status of the first knight of the Equestrian Order of Nova Roma, designated so by the censors during census and the ''recognitio equitum'', shall be recognized by the following Status Points:<br />
<br />
:'''Princeps Iuventutis'''<br />
:400 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
'''III.B.3.b.''' The status of the first senator of the senate of Nova Roma, designated so by the censors during census, shall be recognized by the following Status Points:<br />
<br />
:'''Princeps Senatus''':<br />
:1000 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
==III.C. Treasury Points==<br />
<br />
Treasury Points are given as a reward for special contributions to the Nova Roman treasury during taxation periods and serve to help establish a proper restoration of the equestrian order in Nova Roma.<br />
<br />
'''III.C.1.''' Smaller donations (5 times the basic tax) are recognized as preliminary membership in the equestrian order, and recognized with the title ''“tribunus aerarius equestris”'', and an advancement by one class upwards; large donations (15 times the basic tax) are rewarded with full membership in the private equestrian order:<br />
<br />
:'''Citizens paying 5 times the basic tax (3 times the basic tax for Roman reenactors and officially certified Latinists)''':<br />
:25 CP Treasury Points plus the title ''tribunus aerarius equestris<br />
''<br />
:'''Citizens paying 15 times the basic tax (9 times the basic tax for Roman reenactors and officially certified Latinists)''':<br />
:400 CP Treasury Points plus the title ''eques equo privato''<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.''' Reenactors and certified Latinists shall receive the same amounts of Treasury Points and honors for a slightly smaller amount of donation (for 3 and 9 times the basic tax). The reasoning for the reduction in case of reenactors is that reenactors might more pressingly need the authorization to wear equestrian insignia at events where they also promote and represent Nova Roma, therefore the reduction in required donation is justified by the service they do for Nova Roma in the field, and by the fact that they are more likely than non-reenactors actually to buy the equestrian clothing and insignia which causes them additional costs above the donation. The reasoning for the reduction in case of Latinists is that they are vital and integral in the mission of Nova Roma to restore the Roman people, because without the Roman language, there is no Roman people, and accordingly Nova Roma wishes to raise the status of accomplished Latinists within the society.<br />
<br />
:SEMPRONIUS: In the case of reenactors, the reasoning for the reduction is that reenactors might more pressingly be expected to wear equestrian insignia...<br />
:LENTULUS: The word "authorization" is important, because equestrian status is about the official permission (authorization) to wear equestrian insignia. Is the word "authorization" incorrect in this context?<br />
:SEMPRONIUS: '''FURTHER EXPLANATION''' In my view yes, the use of the word "authorization" is incorrect in this context. This is because the reduced amount is not to gain the authorization to wear the equestrian insignia, it is so that the citizen can use the amount the donation is reduced by to purchase equestrian clothing and insignia which will cause them to incur additional costs above the donation. Therefore I interpret it as follows: The citizen must spend money to purchase equestrian clothing and insignia and present the photographic evidence to the censors together with the name of the reenactment group to which they belong. This is the point of official permission (authorization) to wear equestrian insignia and from this point a reenactor is expected or required to wear the equestrian insignia at events where they also promote and represent Nova Roma.<br />
:<span style="background:#ffff00">LENTULUS: '''DISCUSSION'''</span> Now I understand better your point. The word "authorization" in the law was used to express that the reenactors need permission (this is what authorization means here) to wear equestrian clothing, because many reenactors want to represent equestrians or want to wear tunics with purple stripe. Nova Roman reenactors are not authorized to wear insignia that they are not in real life, because Nova Roman reenactors are not really considered re-en'''actors''', but they are considered real Romans of today, wearing their Roman national garments, uniforms, insignia. So Nova Roman reeantors are in a limbo sometimes: they would like to dress up as generals or senators or equestrians, but if they do so, they don't honor the reality of these offices. That's why they need more urgently an authorization from the state to wear certain insignia. Citizens who aren't reenactors don't need to dress up as Romans, and most of them don't, therefore what Roman clothes they wear is mostly irrelevant to them. But obtaining a permission to wear the equestrian tunica can be crucial for a reenactor (if they take NR seriously: of course if they don't, they will wear the equestrian tunica anyway regardless to whether they have official authorization to wear it or not). So the reason for the reduction is that they can obtain the right to wear equestrian tunica more easily, because they might be under pressure to wear it in their reenactment community. I understand that your re-phrased sentence is more logically phrased, but I think we should add the word "permission" or "authorization" because that was the intention of the text: to tell that the permission/authorization to wear equestrian insignia is given "at a cheaper price" to reenactors.<br />
:<span style="background:#ffff00">SEMPRONIUS: '''DISCUSSION'''</span> OK I understand. Given your explanation and the requirement, how is:<br />
:SEMPRONIUS: The reasoning for the reduction in case of reenactors, who are authorised to wear equestrian insignia, might more pressingly be expected to wear equestrian insignia at events where they also promote and represent Nova Roma,<br />
<br />
<br />
:SEMPRONIUS CONTINUING: ...at events where they also promote and represent Nova Roma. The reduction in the required donation is therefore justified by the service they do for Nova Roma in the field, and by the fact that they are more likely than non-reenactors to buy the equestrian clothing and insignia which imposes upon them additional costs above the donation.<br />
:LENTULUS: '''APPROVED'''. <br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.a.''' '''Reenactors''' can be recognized as such by presenting photographic evidence to the censors and registering the name of the reenactment group where they belong (if there’s any). Reenactors applying for this reduction agree that the presented photographs can be used in publications of the websites and internet pages of Nova Roma.<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.b.''' '''Latinists''' can be recognized as such by presenting the censors a certification, obtained through a Latin examination by a Nova Roman educational institution, or outside Nova Roma, which proves Latin fluency in writing. In the absence of such a document, the censors can assign the task of examination to a Nova Roman committee of Latin teachers, described at III.D.1.b.ii., who shall decide if the applicant for the status of Latinist may be qualified as having Latin fluency in writing.<br />
<br />
==III.D. Cultural Points==<br />
<br />
Cultural Points are given in recognition of knowledge and exeprtise within the subjects of Romanitas, and as a motivation and prize for studying, researching, and utilizing all the theoretical and practical knowledge that can help Nova Roma to revive and promote Roman culture.<br />

Activity points work and involvement in Roman activities, and may be awarded independently from holding any office or title, solely for the work or activity produced by the citizen. The censors may grant Activity Points to any citizen, but only if there is sufficient evidence proving the case.<br />
<br />
===III.E.1. ACTIVITY POINTS FOR REENACTMENT===<br />
<br />
A reenactor can be registered by the censors according to the process described at III.C.2.a., and be given Activity Points. The military rank of the reenactor, or the leader of any other type of Roman reenactment group, can be recognized, and accounted, only and only if the reenactor serves in a fully Nova Roman military reenactment unit, or in an allied military reenactmant unit, as defined by the lex Aurelia de legionibus, or in a fully Nova Roman or allied gladiatorial reenactment group, as defined by the lex Aurelia de familiis gladiatoriis et ludis gladiatoriis:<br />

<br />
Organizers and participants of a Nova Roman real life event, meeting, convention, festival, held fully or partly by and in the name of Nova Roma, can receive Activity Points if they demonstrate it sufficiently at the satisfaction of the censors. Photographic evidence about the citizen present at the event must be provided and uploaded to the Nova Roma website. In the absence of a visual evidence, Activity Points cannot be allocated. One, or more than one, organizer can be rewarded by the censors, at the request and testimony of the applicants for these Activity Points.<br />

<br />
Any citizen may petition the censors for recognition of, or the censors may on their own or by recommendation recognize a serious, big volumen achievement in the field of Romanitas: for example, a publisher of a high quality website on Roman studies, an author of book, film, renown blog, high quality production or program. This recognition shall be given to citizens whose association to Nova Roma can make Nova Roma more famous and more respected. Such recognition shall be entirely within the judgement of the censors collegiately, subject to potential rejection by the quaestorial panel of Census Point jury.<br />
<br />
:SEMPRONIUS: For consistency should it be written as: subject to potential rejection by the Census Point Jury Panel of Quaestors.<br />

:"A citizen may petition the censors; be recommended to the censors by another citizen; or under their own initiative, the censors may recognize a serious, noteworthy achievement in the field of Romanitas. For example, a publisher of a high quality website on Roman studies, an author of book, film, renown blog, high quality production, or program could receive such accolades." <br />
:<span style="background:#ffff00">LENTULUS: '''COUNTER SUGGESTION'''</span> Too many changes. We are supposed to change as few as possible (single words, suffixes, conjuctions etc.). What about this: <br />

<br />
The censorial decision must be made in edict, in which the censors must explain the significance of the achievement and why the citizen in question deserves special treatment and advancement in status. Alternatively, the senate can make such a recognition. Activity Points for a serious accomplishment can be awarded for more than one time for more accomplishments.<br />

Also added a full-stop in there to increase readability. <br />
:<span style="background:#ffff00">LENTULUS: '''APPROVED''', but</span> I am not for the separation into two sentences. I understand readability is a virtue, but if you read any original Roman text, it's hard to find a sentence that is shorter than 5 lines. It's not because it was in Latin, one can write short sentences in Latin, too. It was the expected style and diction. English sentences are equally long and convoluted in Dickens novels or in laws in the 19th century, because that was an aristocratic civilization, requiring aristocratic style. Just like in Rome. Long, pompous, "baroque" sentences evoke the original Roman feel. Instead of "My friends will come tomorrow. They are going to spend the weekend in our house.", the Roman writer would have written "My friends who are going to spend the weekend in our house will come tomorrow." So if the above sentence isn't actually awkward in English, bad sounding or alien to English in a given sentence, I would not suggest to rewrite it just to increase readability. Those people who need assistance in understanding legalistic texts will not use and interpret our laws anyway. We are going to create articles on the website that divulge the information that is contained in full laws. Like, for example, the page on Nova Roman social structure: it divulges the content of a dozen of laws in a digestible format for citizens who don't want to "become" Nova Roman lawyers or who can't easily comprehend law texts. However, if it's indeed awkward (not just hard to read), then let's separate it.<br />

<br />
Census points can be deducted from citizens as measures defined by law in order to discourage certain behaviors and in order that the Census Points may not only accumulate but also decrease in justified cases, which creates a more balanced pattern determined by the sense of duty and commitment of the citizens.<br />

The citizen receives this deduction for the first new payment. When the citizen pays again in the next year, he starts receiving back +25 CP for each paid new year until it deletes all the deductions for non-payment. When, after the payment hiatus, the citizen pays continuously for the 5th time (in the 5th year after the hiatus), he receives back all deducted CP at once.<br />
:AURELIUS: When the citizen consecutively pays their tax again in the next year, they will start receiving back +25 CP for each new year of taxes paid, eventually reverting all the deductions for non-payment.

=I. Census Points=<br />
<br />
'''I.A.''' In ancient Rome, citizens were said ''"censum habere"'', i.e. "to possess the census of", followed by the wealth they had, and this census (wealth, value) classified them as members of the five classes or the equestrian order. <br />
<br />
:AURELIUS: citizens were said to have ''"censum habere"'', referring to the wealth they possessed. This census (wealth, value) classified them as members across five classes or the equestrian order. <br />

:AURELIUS: is our social and political merit, as well as our contribution toward our sacred goals. It is the recognition of our knowledge....<br />

:AURELIUS: citizen is their contributions toward this mission, and their service to the republic...<br />
<br />
<br />
which embodies this spiritual and educational mission. The assessment of the census (the "wealth in Romanitas") of the Nova Roman citizens is measured in Census Points (''Censualia Puncta'') which are merit points given for various aspects of contributions toward Nova Roma <br />
:AURELIUS: merit points given for contributions towards various aspects of Nova Roma<br />
<br />
<br />
according to the aforementioned motivations of this law. Census Points are divided into the categories of Service Points, Treasury Points, Status Points, Activity Points, Award Points and Cultural Points so that all relevant areas of civic life can be assessed and valued.<br />
<br />
'''I.B.''' The assessment, registration and accounting of Census Points is within the power and duty of the censors.<br />
:AURELIUS: accounting of Census Points are the duty of the censors.<br />
<br />
<br />
It shall be the responsibility of each citizen to review their Census Point account and ensure that all of their offices, statuses, titles, awards, and acquired points are represented. The censors shall strive to be as accurate as they can be, but it is only with the active cooperation and involvement of citizens that the censors can ensure the records are as close to perfection as possible.<br />
<br />
=II. Supervision and protection of Census Points=<br />
<br />
'''II.A.''' The censors are the supreme authority over the assessment of the Census Points of citizens, the supreme guardians and judges of the Census Point system. If any of the censors suspects a misuse of the Census Points, such as accumulative and unnecessary appointments of friends as officers in order to promote them in the social hierarchy, suspicious or accumulative appointments without any evidence of real work involved, unmerited Census Point awards, corrupt motivations, he is responsible to bring the case to the panel of the quaestors for investigation, as described at II.C, or directly to Nova Roman court if the censor is absolutely convinced and deem that the no preliminary investigation is needed.<br />

<br />
they can rescind those Award Point issues which they find unmerited, disgraced and undeserved. Such a penalty cannot be reversed just by the censors or by a lex. The censors cannot rescind other types of Census Points but Award Points without referring the case to the panel of quaestors first, or to turning to Nova Roman court.<br />

integrity of the Census Point assignments. In case a quaestor suspects any abuse of the Census Point system, as described at II.A., the quaestors as a collective panel shall investigate, judge, and report the case to the censors. If the majority of the quaestors determine that an appointment of an officer or another type of allocation of Census Points has been made out of corrupt motivations, the Census Points in question shall not be accounted for the citizen, <br />
<br />

refer the case to Nova Roman court for decision regarding the allocation of Census Points or the potential criminality of the involved parties. Only one censor cannot overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel, and the overturning of the panel’s decision cannot take effect as long as the case is not referred to Nova Roman court.<br />
<br />
:SEMPRONIUS: One censor alone cannot overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel,<br />
:LENTULUS: '''APPROVED'''<br />
:::I am not sure of the meaning of the "and the overturning of the panel’s decision cannot take effect as long as the case is not referred to Nova Roman court." Does it mean that only a Nova Roman Court can overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel? In which case it might read: the overturning of the panel’s decision can only take effect by referring it to a Nova Roman court.<br />
:::LENTULUS: '''DISCUSSION''' It means that if the censor wants to cancel the decision of the quaestorial panel, he can do it ONLY both censors in concert turn to NR court for a final decision. The censors' overturning of the quaestors' decision is temporary as long as the final decision is not made by a NR court.<br />
:::SEMPRONIUS: If both censors disagree with the decision of the quaestorial panel, they can jointly overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel if, by the same action, they refer the case to a Nova Roman court for a final decision regarding the allocation of Census Points or the potential criminality of the involved parties. One censor alone cannot overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel. The censors' overturning of the quaestors' decision is temporary, pending the final decision being made by a Nova Roman court.<br />
:::LENTULUS: '''TOO MUCH ADDITION'''. This part should be more conserved, like: "One censor alone cannot overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel, and the overturning of the panel’s decision cannot take effect '''as long as the censors haven't brought the case to Nova Roman court'''."<br />
:::FURTHER COMMENT: What do you say? The sentence wants to say that the cancellation of the panel's decision cannot take effect if the censors don't bring the case to NR court. If they cancel the panel's decision, but don't bring it to court, it's invalid. So it is not even temporary, but simply nothing, illegal, invalid. But the panel's decision is annulled by the censors' intervention, if the censors, at the same time, bring the case to the NR court.<br />
<br />
:::SEMPRONIUS: Thank you for explaining as I did not understand it that way. Does the below preserve the intent while explaining better:<br />
:::A citizen who has lost Census Points due the decision of the panel of the quaestors can also appeal to court if the citizen is convinced about the righteousness of his or her case. If both censors disagree with the decision of the quaestorial panel, they can jointly overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel if, at the same time, they refer the case to a Nova Roman court for a decision regarding the allocation of Census Points or the potential criminality of the involved parties. One censor alone cannot overturn the decision of the quaestorial panel, and the overturning of the panel’s decision can only take effect once the case has been referred to Nova Roman court.<br />

<br />
<br />
'''II.D.''' In case there is any doubt regarding the interpretation of the regulations and instructions in this law or the supervision, protections, functioning and mechanisms of the Census Point system, the censors shall decide the interpretation by edict.<br />
<br />
=III. Categories of Census Points=<br />
<br />
==III.A. Service Points==<br />
<br />
'''III.A.1.''' There shall be two types of Service Points, Past Service Points and Current Office Service Points, which are of the same amount, with the following exception: for the duration of service Current Office Service Points include an extra amount of Census Points to magistrates in order to enhance their social status and influence during their tenure of office which helps them in creating a stable government. Other officers don't receive an extra amount of Census Points for their Current Office Service Points. Past Service Points are given to all officers for past offices.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.2.''' Service points are given per terms if the position has a fixed time term. If the position is repeated by prorogation, each started prorogation counts as a new term. If the title of a governor changes, it does not count as a new term. Only a new appointment or a new prorogation counts as a new term.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.3.''' If the position has an indefinite term, excepting governors, or linked to the superior's term, Service Points (either Current Office or Past) are calculated cumulatively after each completed one year period (12 months): the first amount is given at the moment of appointment (as Current Office Service Point), the second after starting the next year (one amount for Current Office, another for Past), the third after starting the third year (one amount for Current Office, two amounts for Past) etc. Governors may not receive additional Census Points for a longer than 12 month service without prorogation. The term of apparitors and other lower officers appointed by higher officers, if not otherwise defined in the appointment, is considered to be the same as the term of their appointing superior, or the date when the appointing superior honorably discharges his lower officer. Honorable discharge is not considered removal from office, but completion of term.<br />
<br />
'''III.A.4.''' If an officer serves only part of the term of office, only partial Census Point amount shall be given, which shall be based on three-month increments rounding down (one partial amount for each completed three month <br />
<br />
:SEMPRONIUS: If an officer serves only part of the term of office, only partial Census Points shall be given. The amount of Census Points shall be based on three-month increments rounding down<br />
:LENTULUS: '''APPROVED'''<br />
<br />
period, plus one amount equal to a three-month partial amount in addition just for entering office), calculated from the original length of the full term of their office. In case of officers with indefinite or flexible term of office, the full length of the term of office shall be considered one year (12 months). If, before the time of prorogations, a governor resigns against the will of the senate or is removed from office, the governor receives only partial Past Service Points which shall be calculated based on how many months he spent in service, as described in the previous sentence, but not more than what is due for 12 months. If the governor resigns or is removed after 12 months in office, he shall receive no more than what is due for one full term. Resignation, when it is a traditional stepping down from office due to custom, does not count as a resignation: the resignation of extraordinary magistrates, the dictator, magister equitum, or of other extraordinary officers appointed for a task with a term but having finished the task sooner, or the resignation of a censor after the death or resignation of his colleague do not count as resignations but complete terms.<br />
<br />

<br />
:'''Patriciatus''':<br />

<br />
'''III.B.2.b.''' In recognition of their sacred duty of reviving and attending the family cultus of the noble dynasties they are restoring to life, citizens of nobilis consular family names (nomen and cognomen combination) shall receive one Census Point for their status. Nobilis consular family names shall be considered those which were borne by at least one consul of the old republic and empire, or of the new republic (title starting with the offspring):<br />
<br />
:'''Nobilitas Consularis''':<br />
:1 CP Status Point<br />
<br />
'''III.B.2.c.'''

<br />
:'''Homo Novus''':<br />
:1 CP Status Point<br />
<br />
===III.B.3. STATUS POINTS FOR ORDERS===<br />
<br />
'''III.B.3.a.''' Membership in the Equestrian Order of Nova Roma and membership in the senate of the republic or in the ''ordo decurionum'' of municipalities shall be recognized by the following Status Points:<br />
<br />
:'''Equestrian Order''':<br />
:4 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
'''Senatorial Order''':<br />
:10 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
:'''Municipal Decurionate Order''':<br />
:5 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
'''III.B.3.b.''' The status of the first knight of the Equestrian Order of Nova Roma, designated so by the censors during census and the ''recognitio equitum'', shall be recognized by the following Status Points:<br />
<br />
:'''Princeps Iuventutis'''<br />
:400 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
'''III.B.3.b.''' The status of the first senator of the senate of Nova Roma, designated so by the censors during census, shall be recognized by the following Status Points:<br />
<br />
:'''Princeps Senatus''':<br />
:1000 CP Status Points<br />
<br />
==III.C. Treasury Points==<br />
<br />
Treasury Points are given as a reward for special contributions to the Nova Roman treasury during taxation periods and serve to help establish a proper restoration of the equestrian order in Nova Roma.<br />
<br />
'''III.C.1.''' Smaller donations (5 times the basic tax) are recognized as preliminary membership in the equestrian order, and recognized with the title ''“tribunus aerarius equestris”'', and an advancement by one class upwards; large donations (15 times the basic tax) are rewarded with full membership in the private equestrian order:<br />
<br />
:'''Citizens paying 5 times the basic tax (3 times the basic tax for Roman reenactors and officially certified Latinists)''':<br />
:25 CP Treasury Points plus the title ''tribunus aerarius equestris<br />
''<br />
:'''Citizens paying 15 times the basic tax (9 times the basic tax for Roman reenactors and officially certified Latinists)''':<br />
:400 CP Treasury Points plus the title ''eques equo privato''<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.''' Reenactors and certified Latinists shall receive the same amounts of Treasury Points and honors for a slightly smaller amount of donation (for 3 and 9 times the basic tax). <br />
<br />
The reasoning for the reduction in case of reenactors is that reenactors might more pressingly need the authorization to wear equestrian insignia at events where they also promote and represent Nova Roma, therefore the reduction in required donation is justified by the service they do for Nova Roma in the field, and by the fact that they are more likely than non-reenactors actually to buy the equestrian clothing and insignia which causes them additional costs above the donation. The reasoning for the reduction in case of Latinists is that they are vital and integral in the mission of Nova Roma to restore the Roman people, because without the Roman language, there is no Roman people, and accordingly Nova Roma wishes to raise the status of accomplished Latinists within the society.<br />
<br />
:SEMPRONIUS: In the case of reenactors, the reasoning for the reduction is that reenactors might more pressingly be expected to wear equestrian insignia...<br />
:LENTULUS: The word "authorization" is important, because equestrian status is about the official permission (authorization) to wear equestrian insignia. Is the word "authorization" incorrect in this context?<br />
:SEMPRONIUS: '''FURTHER EXPLANATION''' In my view yes, the use of the word "authorization" is incorrect in this context. This is because the reduced amount is not to gain the authorization to wear the equestrian insignia, it is so that the citizen can use the amount the donation is reduced by to purchase equestrian clothing and insignia which will cause them to incur additional costs above the donation. Therefore I interpret it as follows: The citizen must spend money to purchase equestrian clothing and insignia and present the photographic evidence to the censors together with the name of the reenactment group to which they belong. This is the point of official permission (authorization) to wear equestrian insignia and from this point a reenactor is expected or required to wear the equestrian insignia at events where they also promote and represent Nova Roma.<br />
<br />
<br />
:SEMPRONIUS CONTINUING: ...at events where they also promote and represent Nova Roma. The reduction in the required donation is therefore justified by the service they do for Nova Roma in the field, and by the fact that they are more likely than non-reenactors to buy the equestrian clothing and insignia which imposes upon them additional costs above the donation.<br />
:LENTULUS: '''APPROVED'''<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.a.''' '''Reenactors''' can be recognized as such by presenting photographic evidence to the censors and registering the name of the reenactment group where they belong (if there’s any). Reenactors applying for this reduction agree that the presented photographs can be used in publications of the websites and internet pages of Nova Roma.<br />
<br />
'''III.C.2.b.''' '''Latinists''' can be recognized as such by presenting the censors a certification, obtained through a Latin examination by a Nova Roman educational institution, or outside Nova Roma, which proves Latin fluency in writing. In the absence of such a document, the censors can assign the task of examination to a Nova Roman committee of Latin teachers, described at III.D.1.b.ii., who shall decide if the applicant for the status of Latinist may be qualified as having Latin fluency in writing.<br />
<br />
==III.D. Cultural Points==<br />

<br />
'''III.D.1.b.ii.''' '''Censorial Committee of Latin Teachers.''' The censorial committee of Latin teachers shall consist of two Latin teachers at least with Nova Roman citizenship, who shall be appointed to this committee by the censors and shall prove their qualification to the censors with a document of MA degree from Latin studies. The censors can appoint more than one censorial committee of Latin teachers at the same time.<br />

<br />
:'''Pater Patriae''':<br />
:1000 CP Award Points<br />
<br />
=IV. Census Point Deductions=<br />
<br />
Census points can be deducted from citizens as measures defined by law in order to discourage certain behaviors and in order that the Census Points may not only accumulate but also decrease in justified cases, which creates a more balanced pattern determined by the sense of duty and commitment of the citizens.<br />
<br />
'''IV.A.''' '''Deduction for non-payment of taxes:''' After each non-paid year, the citizen shall receive a -100 CP deduction,<br />
:AURELIUS: After each year that tax is not paid, the citizen shall receive a 100 CP deduction,...<br />
<br />
<br />
until the census of the citizen reaches 0 CP. This deduction shall be calculated only when the citizen makes the first new payment after the hiatus.<br />
:AURELIUS: their first new payment after any hiatus.<br />
<br />
<br />
The citizen receives this deduction for the first new payment. When the citizen pays again in the next year, he starts receiving back +25 CP for each paid new year until it deletes all the deductions for non-payment. When, after the payment hiatus, the citizen pays continuously for the 5th time (in the 5th year after the hiatus), he receives back all deducted CP at once.<br />
:AURELIUS: When the citizen consecutively pays their tax again in the next year, they will start receiving back +25 CP for each new year of taxes paid, eventually reverting all the deductions for non-payment. When, after any payment hiatus, the citizen has paid continuously for five consecutive years (in the 5th year after the hiatus), they will receive back all remaining deducted CP.<br />
<br />
<br />
:Examples:<br />
<br />
:Citizen "A" had 64 CP, and misses 6 years in 2016-2020. He pays for 2021, and then he is deducted -600 CP for missing the previous 5 years, but it can’t be lower than 0, so he has 0 CP for 2021. Then he pays for 2022, again, and then he starts receiving back his first +25 CP, so he will have 25 CP in total in 2022, and if he pays in 2023, he will have 50 CP, and if he pays in 2024, he will only receive 14 more CP, because he cannot receive more than the amount which he lost by deductions (64), so he will have all 64 CP back in 2024.<br />
<br />
:AURELIUS: Citizen “A” has 64 CP, and misses paying taxes for a 6 year period from 2015-2020. He pays taxes in the year of 2021, and as is required, he is deducted -600 CP for missing the previous 5 years. CP can’t be lower than 0, so he now has 0 CP for 2021. The next year he pays for 2022 and receives back the first +25 CP. He will now have 25 CP in total in 2022, If he pays again in 2023, he will have received back 50 CP. A fourth consecutive payment in 2024 will result in the receipt of only 14 more CP, because he cannot receive more than the amount which he lost by deductions (64). Citizen “A” will have received all 64 CP back by 2024.<br />
<br />
<br />
:Citizen "B" had 135 CP, and misses 2 years 2019-2020. He pays for 2021, and then he is deducted -200 CP, so he has 0 CP in 2021. Then he pays for 2022, again, and then he starts receiving back his first +25 CP, so he will have 25 CP in total in 2022, and if he pays in 2023, he will have 50 CP, and if he pays in 2024, he will have 75 CP, in 2025, however, he will receive back all 135 CP at once, because all deducted CP are reimbursed at the time of the 5th uninterrupted year of tax payment.''<br />
<br />
:AURELIUS: Citizen “B” has 135 CP, and misses paying taxes for a 2 year period from 2019-2020. He pays taxes in the year of 2021, and as is required, is deducted -200 CP. Citizen “B” will now have 0 CP in 2021. Then he pays his taxes for 2022 and then receives back his first +25 CP. He will now have 25 CP in total in 2022. If he pays again in 2023, he will have received back 50 CP. A fourth consecutive payment in 2024 will result in the accumulation of 75 CP. Paying taxes again in 2025, however, he will receive back the remaining CP to the original 135 CP. All deducted CP is reimbursed at the time of the 5th uninterrupted year of tax payment.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''IV.B.''' '''Renouncing citizenship or failing to answer the census:''' The citizen who renounces his citizenship<br />
:AURELIUS: renounces their citizenship... <br />
<br />
<br />
or who fails to register on the census loses all Census Points, but he can regain it <br />
:AURELIUS: all CP. They can regain all CP back in...<br />
<br />
<br />
the same manner as described above regarding the deduction for non-payment of taxes (in a maximum 5 year process).<br />
<br />
=V. Final Provisions=<br />
<br />
As the applicability of this law depends on the technical realization and programming of the of Census Points system in the infrastructure of the Album Civium (citizen database) website, this lex will take force only after the ''curator rei informaticae'' determines that the provisions of this law have been built into the Album Civium and when an edict will be promulgated by the ''curator rei informaticae'' putting this law into effect.<br />
:AURELIUS: Album Civium. At that time, an edict will be promulgated by the ''curator rei informaticae'' putting this law into effect.</div>Gaius Sempronius Scepsis Agricola
