4 May 2751

1. Appointment of Lucius Equitius Cincinnatus as Praetor Urbanus

Date: 4 May 1998 Si Vales Valeo Felix anniversarius 2751auc After our meeting in the forum last night I looked through the consitution and determined that I would best serve as a Praetor. As a member of Legio XX (admittedly only a miles gregarius) I would use imperium judiciously. Politically, I am an open minded conservative comitted to the mos maiorum," Festina lente". Civilly and criminally, I would not condone frivolous prosecutions. But, don't be in the wrong. As a husband and father I believe that I have a balanced sense of compassion and discipline. So please consider my application for Praetor favorably. If you have any questions please email me. Vale, Lucius Equitius Cincinnatus Quoth F.Vedius Germanicus: I would like to propose that we install Lucius Equitius Cincinnatus as Praetor. His email is attached and I think he'd be a fine addition to the ranks of Magistrates
