<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Category:Res publica (Nova Roma)]]<br />
There are 5 classes in Nova Roma into which all [[centuries]] are distributed with the citizens placed therein. The 1st class is the highest, containing the top citizens. The higher the class, the more centuries it contains, consequently, the more voting weight it has.<br />
<br />
In ancient Rome, citizens were distributed into classes depending on their social status (wealth), and after having a citizen assigned to a class, he was placed in a century within that class. In Nova Roma, the censores first assign a citizen to a century based on his [[taxes|taxpayment]] and [[century point]]s (merits, public service), and after having placed the citizen into a century, they distribute the centuries between the five classes. So, while in ancient Rome class determined placement in century, in Nova Roma century determines placement in class. <br />
<br />
The current number of centuries is 51. Out of these 51 centuries, 50 is reserved for [[assiduus]] citizens, the elite of the citizenry, and 1 is reserved for the [[capite censi]], the masses of inactive citizens. Centuries in Nova Roma are numbered, with the 1st century in the 1st class on the top, down to the 51st century in the 5th class for the ''capite censi''. The more [[century point]]s a citizen has, the higher century he is placed in. Citizens in higher centuries have more voting weight, as higher centuries have less citizens in them, therefore each citizen's vote carries greater weight. <br />
<br />
The 50 small centuries of the [[assidui]] are distributed into the 5 classes, while the huge century of the [[capite censi]] is placed into the lowest (5th) class. <br />
<br />
==Distribution of centuries into the 5 classes==<br />
<br />
The ''censores'' may determine the number of centuries in each [[class]] by edict, as previously established by the [[Lex Iunia centuriata (Nova Roma)|Lex Iunia centuriata]]. If the ''censores'' choose not to do so, then the same proportions already in effect from the previous allocation is adhered to as closely as possible, in order to preserve the relative sizes of the classes. For purposes of this calculation, the century containing the ''[[capite censi]]'' shall be considered outside of any class. <br />
<br />
The relative sizes of each class is currently (and was ever since the system had been established) set as follows:<br />
<br />
*Class I: 29% of the ''assiduus'' centuries. <br />
*Class II: 24% of the ''assiduus'' centuries. <br />
*Class III: 20% of the ''assiduus'' centuries. <br />
*Class IV: 16% of the ''assiduus'' centuries. <br />
*Class V: 11% of the ''assiduus'' centuries, plus '''1''' century reserved for the ''capite censi'' only.</div>Gnaeus Cornelius Lentulus
