The vigintisexviratus was a college of the lowest elected magistrates in the Nova Roman Republic and the name literally means "Twenty-Six Men", although their number in Nova Roma is eleven. They were elected by the comitia populi tributa, however, the editor commentariorum later became a senate appointed position.

The following offices were once part of the Nova Roman vigintisexviratus:

Magister aranearius the chief webmaster of Nova Roma
Editor commentariorum the editor-in-chief of the news and publications of Nova Roma
Rogatores registrar of new citizens and voters
Diribitores vote counter election official
Custodes election jury official

History of the vigintisexviratus in Nova Roma

In Fr. Apulo C. Laenate cos. MMDCCLVIII a.u.c., the office of magister aranearius was removed from the vigintisexviratus and was made a senate appointed officer, like a curatorship. In L. Arminio Ti. Galerio cos. MMDCCLX a.u.c., the office of the editor commentariorum also became a senate appointment, although it remained part of the vigintisexviri. In L. Sulla (III) cos. sine collega MMDCCLXVI a.u.c., all offices of the vigintisexviratus was abolished, though it was maintained in the lex Equitia de constitutione corrigenda as a type of office for potential reintroduction. Diribitores, rogatores and custodes continued to be appointed but not as magistrates but only as subordinate officers similar to the category of apparitores.
