Edictum consulare de modificatione edicti de comitiis curiatis convocandis
- STATUS: Lapsed
- ORIGINALLY ENACTED: a.d. III Id. Ian. ‡ P. Aurelio C. Flavio cos. ‡ MMDCCLXXVIII a.u.c.
- OFFICIAL POST: Forum Romanum #101455
I. My previous consular edict has missed a sentence due to an editorial mistake, but this sentence was intended to be included. I trust in the hands of praetors to accept my intention and consider my previous edict still valid with this modification.
II. My previous, first, consular edict shall include as its first sentence, starting the preamble, this sentence: "I hereby recognize all current consular edicts in force as in force."
III. Also, in my previous edict I mistakenly defined the closing day of the Comitia Curiata as January 11. It is hereby modified to January 12, because that's the closest dies comitialis.

Edictum praetorium de edicto C. Petroni corrigendo
- STATUS: In-Force
- ORIGINALLY ENACTED: Non. Feb. ‡ P. Aurelio C. Flavio cos. ‡ MMDCCLXXVIII a.u.c.
- OFFICIAL POST: Forum Romanum #101478
Edictum praetorium de edicto C. Petroni corrigendo
I. It has come to the attention of the praetores that the Edictum praetorium de legione I Italica in provincia Thracia legunda was issued with written clerical errors, and it did not reflect the intention of the praetor at the time, nor has it ever been intended to be applied as worded, but it was always applied as intended. I am hereby correcting the record and amending the edictum according to the intention based on which it was issued, and then applied.
II. The second sentence of section III of the Edictum praetorium de legione I Italica in provincia Thracia legunda shall be modified to read as:
- "The Legio I Italica shall remain under my direct command as long as the governor of Thracia or the senate does not decide otherwise."
III. Point III.B. shall be corrected to read as:
- "After my term as praetor expires, and if I will not hold imperium any longer, the chief state command over the legion will pass to the next praetors who shall determine command between themselves. If needed, the senate may make a determination. If I will continue to hold imperium, the legion remains under my chief state command as long as I continue to hold imperium."

Edictum praetorium de adnotatione et interpretatione Senatus consulti de senatus habendo M. Cotta et C. Petronio coss.
- STATUS: In-Force
- ORIGINALLY ENACTED: Non. Feb. ‡ P. Aurelio C. Flavio cos. ‡ MMDCCLXXVIII a.u.c.
- OFFICIAL POST: Forum Romanum #101476
Edictum praetorium de adnotatione et interpretatione Senatus consulti de senatus habendo M. Cotta et C. Petronio coss.
I. The praetors have reviewed the Senatus consultum de ratione senatus MMDCCLXV after the latest changes introduced by the senatus consultum de senatu habendo M. Cotta C. Petronio coss.
II. In accordance with article I.B of the Lex Cornelia Domitia de re publica constituenda, interpretation of law and the legality and validity of a disputed law or action shall be in the power of the praetors in the first instance as part of their primary duties. Those edicta issued by magistrates for the purpose of documenting these interpretations do not change or alter the text of the legislation, but they offer clarification to the way they are interpreted within the confines of the legislation in question. Such edicta are appended as notes to any affected legislation. With the authority under the constitution, we declare the following.
III. The praetores acknowledge that the "senatus consultum de senatu habendo M. Cotta C. Petronio coss." will directly modify the "senatus consultum de ratione senatus MMDCCLXV" as is its intent. The "senatus consultum de ratione senatus MMDCCLXV" will remain the primary legislation for the content concerning senate rules.
IV. The latest changes to the "senatus consultum de ratione senatus MMDCCLXV" did leave opened-ended references to articles that were removed in the changes. The following commentary, to be annotated as standard footnotes to the "senatus consultum de ratione senatus MMDCCLXV", seeks to note these now invalid references and interpret the current reading:
- A. Article VII.A, disregard the part “except as allowed for at XVI.P and XVI.Q.”
- B. Article II.C, disregard the sentence parts “Members of the Senate remain bound by the requirements of XII.E.” and “of XII.E” in the next sentence.
- C. Article II.C.1, change the section “violated XII.E” to “posted a violation,”. In the next sentence, change “does not further violate XII.E.” to “does not post further violations”.
- D. In article II.C.2, replace the sentence part “or is likely to, lead to a breach of XII.E” with “leads to further breaches”.
- E. Article II.C.5, change the section “to violate XII.E” to “to continue violations”.
- F. Article II.C.8, disregard “of XII.E”.
- G. Article II.C.5, disregard “except for the reasons specified at XIII.A.”.
- H. Article III.H.4.b, change the section “XIII.A.” to “any calendar day”.
- I. Article IV.G.2, disregard “described at XIII.B”.
- J. Article IV.G.3, disregard “XIII.B” in both instances it appears.
- K. Article IV.G.4, disregard “XIII.B civil”.
V. Two key elements from the latest amending senatus consulta were not explicitly added to the amendments of the original. To ensure they are not overlooked, they are to be added as comments, as a footnote and referenced in the main text accordingly, at the following points:
- A. Annotated on section II, add a footnote that states “When there are no censors in office, all procedural decisions assigned to the censors shall be made by the consuls.”
- B. At section VI.C, add a note that states “Senate sessions shall be reported to the Nova Roman people in the forum by the president of the session. This reporting shall be made no later than within 24 hours after the closing of the session. The tribunes of the plebs may also publish, but are not obliged to publish, their own report of the session to the people, including as many details as they think necessary, as long as they observe the laws that define the tribunes' reporting activity.”
