BIOGRAPHY

Album Civium

In his country, Hungary, Cn. Lentulus is a high school Latin teacher and a graduate student of classical studies in the most important Hungarian university (ELTE), where he deals with Latin and Greek languages, Roman history, literature, philosophy, religion and culture; so he knows something about these matters and what Romanitas is.

Since his childhood he felt Roman. When he was 16 he assumed the name Cn. Cornelius Lentulus together with his white toga virilis long before he knew Nova Roma, and decided to live as a Roman. Later he founded a Roman harmonist association, the Consociatio Hungarica Ad Rem Romanam Reficiundam, and he hoped that some day he would find many people who think similarly to him and want to restore the Roman Republic.

When he joined Nova Roma, his provincia, Pannonia, was in the worst condition, so he decided to reorganize it and make it a real community. Kal. Apr. ‡ Fr. Apulo C. Laenate cos. ‡ MMDCCLVIII a.u.c. the senate appointed him propraetor of Pannonia and he started his work. Now he is serving his third term in this magistracy.

Cn. Lentulus is a practitioner of the religio Romana, and practiced it long before he knew Nova Roma. It is a very important element in his Romanitas. Since Kal. Ian. ‡ K. Buteone Po. Minucia cos. ‡ MMDCCLIX a.u.c. he has been provincial sacerdos of Pannonia: the first one in the modern age since Romans left that province.

Lentulus is a wholehearted republican; his ideals in Roman political life are M. Tullius Cicero, P. Cornelius Lentulus Spinther, Q. Lutatius Catulus, M. Porcius Cato, L. Papirius Cursor, P. Cornelius Scipio, and men of like mind. Lentulus believes in the total reconstruction of Rome as much as possible and reasonable.
