Album Civium

A. Apollonius Davidi f. Maglocuni n. Pap. Cordus was born in London Non. Sext. ‡ MMDCCXXXIII. He became a Roman citizen a.d. VIII Kal. Dec. ‡ M. Octavio L. Sulla (II) cos. ‡ MMDCCLV a.u.c..

Cordus studied sculpture at Chelsea College of Art, gained a degree in ancient and modern history from Oxford University, and currently lives in London where he is studying to become a barrister.

He has held a number of elected and appointed public offices. He has been a member of the provincial government of provincia Britannia (whenever there has been one) since K. Buteone T. Labieno cos. ‡ MMDCCLVI a.u.c..

Cordus knows something about Roman republican law (ancient and modern), particularly public law, and has been Decanus Facultatis Iuris (Director of the Faculty of Law) at the Academia Thules. He speaks Latin moderately well and is a former magister of the sodalitas Latinitatis. From time to time he writes plays, mostly on classical subjects, and has been musaeus of the collegium Melpomenes in the sodalitas Musarum. He has participated in various projects including the effort to design and mint a new sestertius and Vox Romana, the Roman podcast.

He has now retired, at least temporarily, from public life in Nova Roma, writing to friends in Feb. M. Curiatio M. Iulio cos. ‡ MMDCCLXII a.u.c. that the 'main list', the written laws, and the political institutions of Nova Roma were at that time 'actually making it *harder*, not easier, to live a more Roman life'.
