According to Paragraph IV. A. 1. d. of the Constitution of Nova Roma and Lex Popillia Senatoria, the censores have the powers of maintaining the Album Senatorium, and
With the decision of Gnaeus Cornelius Lentulus to turn down an appointment to the Senate for the reasons stated, we take this opportunity to sublection the following citizens to the Senate.
Stephanus Ullerius Venator Piperbarbus, a citizen of Nova Roma since 2751 ( 1998). He is currently serving as Custos . He has served as Diribitor, Rogator, three times as Quaestor and as a Lictor since 2752 (1999). He has proven himself to be a selfless citizen who will take on those jobs others fail to do. He has maintained a demeanor, courtesy and commitment to Nova Roma that has won him friends from all political views within Nova Roma. Truth be told his appointment to the Senate is long over due.
Equestria Iunia Laeca is currently serving as Consular Quaestor and Curator Aerarii (Chief Financial Officer of Nova Roma, Inc)). She has almost single-handedly brought the finances of Nova Roma from chaos to transparency

To date, some individuals mentioned in my original post elevating individuals to the Senate have not indicated a willingness to accept the post, whether in private email to me or by posting their Oath to the public list.
