Officina Consulis Maioris MMDCCLX

Ego, L. Arminius Faustus, hac re ipsa decus Novae Romae me defensurum, et semper pro populo senatuque Novae Romae acturum esse sollemniter IVRO.

Ego, L. Arminius Faustus, officio consulis interpone Novae Romae accepto, deos deasque Romae in omnibus meae vitae publicae temporibus culturum, et virtutes Romanas publica privataque vita me persecuturum esse IVRO.

Ego, L. Arminius Faustus, Religioni Romanae me fauturum et eam defensurum, et numquam contra eius statum publicum me acturum esse, ne quid detrimenti capiat IVRO.

Ego, L. Arminius Faustus, consulis officiis muneris me quam optime functurum esse praeterea IVRO.

Meo civis Novae Romae honore, coram deis deabusque populi Romani, et voluntate favoreque eorum, ego munus consulis, L. Arminius Faustus una cum iuribus, privilegiis, muneribus et officiis comitantibus ACCIPIO.

I ask all citizes who desires to undertake a propraetorship on 2007 (proconsulship in case of consular citizens) to send me your names until the ides of ianuarius (15). The same applies for current propraetores or proconsules who wants a new term.

The names will be submited to the first Senate meeting of 2007 (the initial forecast is by the end of ianurius or begging of february, still to confirm). The magistrature of the propraetor/proconsul starts since the releasing of the result of the Senatusconsultum no the forum of the main list.

I recall a propraetor/proconsul has all Imperium of a consul or a praetor (for practical purposes it is the same level for governors) inside the provincia, ie, the geographic limits which a Imperium is bounded. These offices were born on the Second Punic War, which there was necessary more ´manpower´ besides the two consules and one dictator to lead the roman army on the many far provinces where there were fights.

A citizen can send to the consul the name after 15th ianuarius, however, the name may only be submited to the second senate meeting the consules have not forecasted yet. So, I urge the citizens to respect the data, so the term serving can be early.

The citizens who asked propraetorships/proconsulships to previous consuls, Modianus and Strabo, don´t need to aks this call. We have the names.

I urge the citizens to remember the propraetor/proconsul is the first ´spokesman´ of Nova Roma to the new citizens on its own language and culture. So, if there is an office who can boost the gathering and keeping of new citizens, this is the office. I pray to Iove Optimus Maximus to grant our citizens wiseness and a generous heart to serve NR as governors.

I ask all citizes who desires to undertake the office of interpreter on 2007 to send me your names and language mastered until the ides of ianuarius (15). The same applies for current interpreters who wants a new term.

The names will be submited to the first Senate meeting of 2007 (the initial forecast is by the end of ianurius or begging of february, still to confirm). The service of the interpreter starts since the releasing of the result of the Senatusconsultum no the forum of the main list.

I recall the interpreter has Potestas (granted by the Senate) to afirm the validation of a version of an official NR text on another language.

A citizen can send to the consul the name after 15th ianuarius, however, the name may only be submited to the second senate meeting the consules have not forecasted yet. So, I urge the citizens to respect the data, so the term serving can be early.

More information can be seen on the Tabularium on Lex Cornelia de Linguis Publicis. I recall new languages can be available by a SenatusConsultum.

On this edictum, I´d like to praise also our WikiMagistrates by such good tools on NR website that can provide us quick reference to any piece of legislation we want.

I confirm and put under my Imperium the edictum issue by Consul P.Minucia Strabo on 31 December 2006 about Comitia Populi Tributa results.

STARTS STRABI TEXT :

Pompeia Minucia Strabo Consul Quiritibus Novae Romae S.P.D.

By my imperium as Consul 2759 and after discussion with both incoming Consuls 2760, I hereby instruct the Custodes of 2759 to remain in their current magisterial capacities until they have certified and delivered to the 2760 Consuls, the outstanding election results of the Comitia Populi Tributa, OR until Ides Ian 2760, whichever comes first.

The imperium by which this edict receives legal force shall be uninterrupted as the incoming Consuls adopt its language.

The Custodes elected for 2760 shall take their oaths of office and assume their duties when instructed by the Consuls 2760 that the terms of this edict have been resolved.

Given by my hand Dec. 31, 2759 AUC.
