Edictum consulare de imperio et potestate

EDICTUM CONSULARE DE IMPERIO ET POTESTATE

This edict is issued to clarify the interpretation of imperium as a legal term in the lex Cornelia Domitia de re publica constituenda. This edict is to be interpreted under the authority of that lex and within its context. Imperium in Nova Roma was interpreted in a mistaken way ever since the founding of Nova Roma due to some outdated 19th century scholar concepts which are no longer upheld by academic literature. In early Nova Roma, imperium was understood to contain all powers of the specific magistrate, thus consular imperium meant all rights and powers of a consul. In this understanding, the lex Arminia de imperio defined that it is within the right of imperium of every imperium holding magistrate to call the senate and the comitia for example, which was not part of imperium in ancient Rome. Due to this understanding, before the enactment of the repeal of the lex Arminia de imperio, it was allowed to someone holding consular imperium not limited to a province to call the senate and to call the comitia. This is how special proconsul S. Lucilius Tutor who was granted full consular imperium, without territorial restriction, could call, fully legitimately, the comitia to enact the lex Lucilia de re publica restituenda. In more accurate terminology, both S. Lucilius Tutor and Cn. Cornelius Lentulus Alexander before him, has full potestas consularis, not only the imperium part of the consular potestas, since they were authorized according to the lex Arminia de imperio to exercise all powers of a consul. This edict now clarifies what exactly is imperium under our constitution and laws:

I. Imperium is a specific, military aspect and form of potestas which does not allow place for any procedure of refusal, negation, or disobedience. According to the lex Cornelia Domitia de re publica constituenda.our constitution, imperium is defined as follows:

A. Definition of imperium:
(1) presidency in Nova Roma; with supreme executive, judicial and disciplinary power
(2) chief command;
(2.1) complete power over military with supreme executive, judicial and disciplinary power;
(2.2.) complete power over provinces with supreme executive, judicial and disciplinary power.
B. Rights and powers belonging to imperium:
(1) ius imperandi: the power to command and to give orders to anyone;
(2) full iurisdictio: the power to interpret and administer the law and to administer justice;
(3) full ius coercitionis: the right to enforce the law and their own decisions, even by disciplinary or preventive actions;
(4) ius intercessionis: the right to forbid decisions or actions of the colleague or lesser magistrates;
(5) ius edicendi: the right to issue edicts, containing orders, decisions, instructions, interpretations of law etc.;
(6) lictors: imperium grants the right and honor of being preceded by lictors as a symbol of supreme power.

II. According to the lex Cornelia Domitia, imperium and the rights belonging to it, may only be exercised within the boundaries or provincia of the office, whether it be territorial or a defined area of duties. The full form of imperium may only be exercised in the provinces outside of the central administration, except in cases defined by lex Cornelia Domitia.

III. According to the lex Cornelia Domitia, with certain exceptions (dictator, senatus consultum ultimum), imperium cannot be exercised within the central administration of Nova Roma, where it is subject to both provocatio and tribunician intercessio. This statement shall not be understood as if people granted imperium specifically in the central administration were not be able to exercise power within the central administration. It only means that imperium exists in a non-military weakened form of regular administrative power within the central administration. Imperium within the central administration is exercised in the form of the administrative, civilian powers of the imperium holder, within the potestas as defined by the law which defines the mission and tasks of the specific imperium holder.

IV. Potestas is the full range of powers and rights of a magistrate, as described by law, within the sphere of responsibility, field of authority, area of duties and tasks given to that individual. Persons who do not hold a magistracy but are granted imperium, such as governors, promagistrates, certain special commissioners of state, exercise all their functions through their imperium, but if their area of responsibility includes the central administration, their imperium is exercised as if it were just normal potestas, unless otherwise mandated by law.

V. The potestas of an imperium holder shall include all rights and powers that are defined for the imperium holder, including those which are defined as part of the imperium, but within the central administration the imperium will take a non-military form, subject to provocatio and intercessio, thus taking the form of unmarked potestas.

VI. The governance of provinces is military governance. Governance of a province is conducted through the full form of imperium.

VII. Imperium, when exercised in the weakened form within the central administration, shall be understood as follows:

A. Definition: presidency in Nova Roma; with supreme executive, judicial and disciplinary power, limited by intercessio, provocatio, and legal and constitutional procedure and democratic control.
B. Rights and powers belonging to imperium:
(1) ius imperandi: the power to give administrative and executive orders within the government;
(2) full iurisdictio: the power to interpret and administer the law and to administer justice;
(3) limited ius coercitionis: the right to enforce the law and their own decisions, but only through administrative tools of disciplinary or preventive actions, limited by intercessio, provocatio, and legal and constitutional procedure and democratic control;
(4) ius intercessionis: the right to forbid decisions or actions of the colleague or lesser magistrates;
(5) ius edicendi: the right to issue edicts, containing orders, decisions, instructions, interpretations of law etc.;
(6) lictors: imperium grants the right and honor of being preceded by lictors as a symbol of supreme power, but within the central administration, the fasces shall be without the axes.

Consular edict on the electoral campaigns

CONSULAR EDICT ON THE ELECTORAL CAMPAIGNS

Preamble. This edict is issued in clarification of my previous edict of forum moderation.

I. Candidates are allowed to post a declaration of candidacy (campaign speech) to all public forums, including Facebook and Discord, but debate on their candidacies should be held, and support or opposition statements should be sent, to the Forum Novum Romanum Cassii or Main List.

II. The Twitch Channel of Nova Roma is not a forum, my previous edict didn't cover that venue of communication.

III. All requests for modifications or clarifications of my previous edicts related to forum policies should be directed to the four aediles as a body. I don't intend to intervene unless in case of emergency. The forums of Nova Roma belong under the aediles' supervision. Praetors and consuls can intervene only if the aediles are unable to handle a situation.

Edictum consulare de aedilibus forum moderantibus

EDICTUM CONSULARE DE AEDILIBUS FORUM MODERANTIBUS

According to the Senatus consultum ultimum de foro Novo Romano officiali, de foris publicis et de limitibus iuris publici, VIII.B, the consuls are ordered to issue an edict to allow the aediles to modify the consular edict on the rules of the Forum Novum Romanum. I am hereby issuing the edict ordered by the senate:

I. The aediles are hereby empowered by the consuls to overwrite my edict EDICTUM CONSULARE DE SERMONE ET MODERATIONE FORI (MAIN LIST MODERATION EDICT).

II. According to the orders of the senate in senatus consultum ultimum, the aediles make the rules of all public forums of Nova Roma, and henceforth the consules and praetores may interfere only in necessary cases. As the senate ordered, supervision, conflict resolution and administration of justice shall be the responsibility of the praetors, and the owners of any public forum must always comply with the decision of the state authorities. Complaints and controversies shall be judged by the legal procedures described by Nova Roman law, under the authority of the praetors as supervisor of public justice.

III. I order the aediles to revise the EDICTUM CONSULARE DE SERMONE ET MODERATIONE FORI and reissue it as soon as possible as an aedilician edict, addressing moderation policy in the two other public forums of Nova Roma as well.

IV. As it is election time, I remind all candidates that according to the Senatus consultum ultimum de foro Novo Romano officiali, de foris publicis et de limitibus iuris publici, the Main List of Nova Roma is the only official state forum of Nova Roma: their campaigns and the electoral debates shall be held in the Main List, also known as Forum Novum Romanum Cassii. The alternative community discussion forums are meant to be apolitical and mainly cultural and social, not political forums.

Edictum praetorium C. Barosi de nominibus nonnullarum legum corrigendis III

  • STATUS: In-Force
  • ORIGINALLY ENACTED: a.d. III Kal. Ian. Q. Arrio (III) A. Tullia cos. MMDCCLXXIV a.u.c.
  • OFFICIAL POST: Forum Romanum #97789
  • EDITS BY THE CURATOR REI INFORMATICAE: Original Section X removed because it was just a repetition, an editorial mistake, of Section VIII.

Edictum praetorium C. Barosi de nominibus nonnullarum legum corrigendis III

On the recommendation of the Law Revision Committe of Classicists and Latinists, I officially correct the names of the following leges:

I. Lex Grylla de magistratibus plebis creandis

A. It is corrected to lex Antonia de magistratibus plebis creandis.

B. Justification: The name shall be corrected to lex Antonia, because Antonius Gryllus Graecus corrected his mistaken nomen to Gryllus to Antonius, and he is in fact M. Antonius Gryllus Graecus. This should be the only real nomen associated with him, his old nomen is considered just a cognomen. Name correction erases the mistaken name.

II. Lex Minucia de rogatoribus

A. It is corrected to lex Cassia Vedia de rogatoribus.

B. Justification: The name Minucia does not have the right to be there, even if quaestor M. Minucius Audens suggested the lex, but he wasn't the presiding magistrate of the legislative session, nor was he the colleague, as would have been required by the lex Hortensia de legibus scribundis. The lex was enacted by Fl. Vedius Germanicus consul. His colleage M. Cassius Iulianus is included in the name to honor our two founders second joined consulship.

III. Lex Labiena de iure edicendi vigintisexvirorum

A. It is corrected to lex Cassia Vedia de iure edicendi vigintisexvirorum.

B. Justification: The name Labiena does not have the right to be there, even if tribune of plebs T. Labienus Fortunatus suggested the lex, but he wasn't the presiding magistrate of the legislative session, nor was he the colleague, as would have been required by the lex Hortensia de legibus scribundis. At this time, the right of tribunes to call the comitia populi tributa did not yet exist, so Labienus had no right to put anything to vote in the comitia populi tributa. The lex was enacted by Fl. Vedius Germanicus consul. His colleage M. Cassius Iulianus is included in the name to honor our two founders second joined consulship.

IV. Lex Cassia Octavia de ratione comitiorum centuriatorum

A. It is corrected to lex Cassia de ratione comitiorum centuriatorum.

B. Justification: The name Octavia does not have the right to be there, Octavius wasn't the presiding magistrate of the legislative session, nor was he the colleague, as would have been required by the lex Hortensia de legibus scribundis. The lex was enacted by M. Cassius Iulianus consul.

V. Lex Vedia de provinciis

A. It is corrected to lex Vedia provincialis.

B. Justification: This lex has been always referred to as lex Vedia provincialis, now this praetorian edict acknowledges the name retroactively.

VI. Lex Cornelia Vedia de ratione comitiorum populi tributorum

A. It is corrected to lex Cornelia Octavia de ratione comitiorum populi tributorum.

B. Justification: The name Vedia does not have the right to be there, Fl. Vedius Germanicus wasn't the presiding magistrate of the legislative session, nor was he the colleague, as would have been required by the lex Hortensia de legibus scribundis. The colleague of L. Cornelius Sulla consul was M. Octavius, he shall be added in honor instead of Vedius.

VII. Lex Labiena de praetoribus agendis in loco parentium

A. It is corrected to lex Labiena de praetoribus in loco parentium agentibus.

B. Justification: The Latin gerundive was incorrect here and present participle has to be used.

VIII. Lex Arminia Equitia de dignitate curuli and lex Arminia Equitia de sanctitate

A. It is corrected to lex Arminia de dignitate curuli and lex Arminia de sanctitate.

B. Justification: The name Equitia does not have the right to be there. Although Cn. Equitius Marinus drafted it, but he wasn't the presiding magistrate of the legislative session, nor was he the colleague. Although Cn. Marinus was a consul at that time, and the law was made at the comitia populi tributa, but it was not the consular or praetorial form of comitia tributa, but it was convened in lieu of the plebeian assembly because the number of plebeians was too low. In the interpretation of the praetor, this does not qualifies under the lex Hortensia IV.C.

IX. Lex Equitia Galeria de ordinariis and lex Equitia Galeria de legibus ex post factis

A. It is corrected to lex Equitia de magistratibus ordinariis and lex Equitia de legibus ex postfacto ferendis

B. Justification: The name Galeria does not have the right to be there, Galerius wasn't the presiding magistrate of the legislative session, nor was he the colleague, as would have been required by the lex Hortensia de legibus scribundis. The lex was enacted by Cn. Equitius Marinus consul. Ordinarii was not an adequate term, but it is magistratus ordinarii. In Latin ex post facto is better written as ex postfacto and a predicative adjective is needed to "legibus".

X. Lex Minucia "de duobus legibus Arminiis Equitiis abrogandis"

A. It is corrected to lex Minucia de duobus legibus Arminiis abrogandis.

B. Justification: This lex never had an official name. It was referred to by convenience as "de duobus legibus Arminiis Equitiis abrogandis". It is now ratified but with a modification because the leges Arminiae Equitiae were renamed as Arminiae.

XI. Lex Cornelia de Arminia de fovenda lingua Latina corrigenda

A. It is corrected to lex Cornelia de modificatione legis Arminiae de fovenda lingua Latina.

B. Justification: The name of this lex was improperly worded, the word "lege" was missing, and it was not really a correction but modification.

Edictum praetorium C. Barosi de nominibus nonnullarum legum corrigendis II

Edictum praetorium C. Barosi de nominibus nonnullarum legum corrigendis

On the recommendation of the Law Revision Committe of Classicists and Latinists, I officially correct the names of the following leges:

I. Lex Cornelia et Maria de mutandis nominibus

A. It is corrected to lex Vedia de mutandis nominibus

B. Justification: The names Cornelia et Maria do not have the right to be there, even if the censors L. Cornelius Sulla and C. Marius Merullus drafted it, but they weren't the presiding magistrates of the legislative session. It was presented to the comitia by consul Fl. Vedius Germanicus and enacted by him.

II. Lex Didia Gemina de potestate tribunicia

A. It is corrected to lex Didia de potestate tribunicia

B. Justification: The nomen gentile of the legislator is Didius, not Didius Geminus. In an old, deprecated and now unlawful practice of early Nova Roma, some people were registered with their cognomen as part of their nomen, so back in the they the legislator tribunus plebis was considered to have the nomen gentile "Didius Geminus", but it was illogical, nonsensical, and now it is even unlawful. The lex is mow corrected to the normal naming practice.

III. Lex Iunia de iusiurando and lex Cassia de iusiurando

A. It is corrected to lex Iunia de iure iurando and lex Cassia de iure iurando

B. Justification: The ablative of the compound ius iurandum in Classical Latin is iure iurando. To treat it as one word with inflection only at the end is Medieval Latin, and it is now corrected.

IV. The lex Minucia Moravia de eiuratione magistratuum

A. It is corrected to the lex Minucia de eiuratione magistratuum

B. Justification: The name Moravia does not have the right to be there, although tribune M. Moravius Piscinus drafted it, it was enacted by the people's comitia of consul Minucia Strabo, and not by the plebeian assembly.

C. The praetor also makes a clarification about the valid text of this lex. Investigation by quaestor Cn. Cornelius Lentulus has showed that between the two texts that are communicated on the page of the lex Municia the only valid is the one start starts as "This lex clarifies the legal definition of magisterial resignation...." The other text failed in the comitia. The explanation is that the consul Minucia Strabo wanted to pass one of the texts in the comitia centuriata, the other text in the comitia tributa. The one presented to the comitia centuriata failed (the text starting as "This Lex pursues the constitutional language of Section IV, headed 'Magistrates'"), but the one presented to the comitia tributa was accepted, and only that is the valid law.

V. Lex Vedia tributaria

A. It is corrected to lex Vedia tributa

B. Justification: When naming this lex, there was a misunderstanding of the meaning of the title. The Latinist asked to revise the title by praetor M. Iulius Perusianus believed the law was about taxes, and tax law would be lex tributaria in Latin, and named the law accordingly. The law is, however, about tribes, and the adjective for that is tributus, -a, -um. The correct name of the law is therefore lex tributa.

VI. Lex Fabia de nominibus approbationibusque

A. It is corrected to lex Apula Popillia de nominibus approbationibusque

B. Justification: The name Fabia does not have the right to be there, even if the censor K. Fabius Buteo Quintilianus drafted it, but he wasn't the presiding magistrates of the legislative session. It was presented to the comitia by consul Fr. Apulus Caesar and enacted by him. This lex has been always referred to as lex Apula Popillia ever since, because iuris peritus A. Apollonius Cordus made the modification in the Tabularium, but it was never officially renamed. Now this praetorian edict acknowledges the name lex Apula Popillia retroactively.

VII. Lex Vedia de incorporationis

A. It is corrected to lex Vedia de incorporatione

B. Justification: The Latin ablative case that is required after "de" is "incorporatione".

VIII. Lex Iunia spatia consulatuum circumscribenda

A. It is changed back to the original to lex Iunia de temporum definitione consulatuum

B. Justification: This was the original name, and the correction of praetor M. Iulius Perusianus was an erroneous correction, creating a nonsensical phrase which is grammatically incorrect.

IX. Lex Iunia Cornelia de patrumfamiliarum matrumfamiliarumque aetate

A. It is corrected to lex Iunia Cornelia de patrum familiarum matrumque familiarum aetate

B. Justification: Although this lex was adopted as lex Iunia, it was conventionally known and registered in the Tabularium as lex Iunia Cornelia. The praetor recognized this convention, and retroactively validates it. The Latin conjunction "-que", however, has to be attached to the end of the first word of the joined expression, which "matrum", because the expression "matrumfamiliarum", even if sometimes written as one word, in fact are considered two words in Latin.

X. Lex Cornelia de tabulis gentium novaromanarum agendis

A. It is corrected to lex Cornelia de tabulis gentium Novarum Romanarum agendis

B. Justification: "Novaromanarum" was incorrect Latin, it could be "Novoromanarum", but as a long time policy, Nova Roma uses the adjective "Novus, -a, -um Romanus, -a, -um" in Latin to denote belonging to Nova Roma. "Novoromanus, -a, -um" would denote belonging to a city called Nova Roma, we do not have. Our people also wishes to express unity with the Roman people, and "Novus Romanus" expresses it better than "Novoromanus" which would suggest we are not properly Roman, or we are just inhabitants of a city called Nova Roma.

C. CORNELIVS BAROSVS PRAETOR

Edictum praetorium de correctione C. Barosi de nominibus nonnullarum legum corrigendis

Edictum praetorium de correctione C. Barosi de nominibus nonnullarum legum corrigendis


Section I of the Edictum praetorium C. Barosi de nominibus nonnullarum legum corrigendis shall be corrected to this:

"I appoint the Law Revision Committe of Classicists and Latinists, consisting of Classicists and Latinists possessing MA degree from Roman Studies, Classical Philology and Latin, according to the lex Hortensia de legibus scribundis. The members of the Committee are A. Tullia Scholastica, MA from Classics, and Cn. Cornelius Lentulus, MA from Latin Language, Literature and Roman Studies."

C. Cornelius Barosus PRAETOR

Edictum praetorium C. Barosi de nominibus nonnullarum legum corrigendis

Edictum praetorium C. Barosi de nominibus nonnullarum legum corrigendis

I. I appoint the Law Revision Committe of Classicists and Latinists, consisting of Classicists and Latinists possessing MA degree from Roman Studies, Classical Philology and Latin, according to the lex Hortensia de legibus scribundis.

II. On the recommendation of the Law Revision Committe of Classicists and Latinists, I officially correct the names of the following leges:

A. Lex Cornelia Iunia de definitione intervallorum magistratuum

1. It is corrected to lex Cornelia de definitione repetundorum magistratuum

2. Justification:

a. The name Iunia does not have the right to be there, even if Dec. Iunius Palladius drafted it, but he wasn't the presiding magistrate of the legislative session, nor was he the colleague, as would have been required by the lex Hortensia de legibus scribundis.

b. The word intervallum doesn't mean time difference in Classical Latin, but repetere can express the repetition of office, and this is what the lex limits

B. Leges Saliciae

Justification: These leges shall be corrected to lex Salvia, because Cn. Salix Astur corrected his mistaken nomen to Salvius. This should be the only real nomen associated with him, his old nomen is considered just an agomen he used. Name correction erases the mistaken name.

1. The lex Salicia de convocatione tribunicia comitiorum by the Comitia Plebis Tributa is corrected to lex Salvia de convocatione tribunicia comitiorum.

2. The lex Salicia de prorogatione et cumulatione is corrected to lex Salvia de prorogatione et cumulatione.

3. The lex Salicia iudicialis is corrected to lex Salvia iudicialis.

4. The lex lex Salicia poenalis is corrected to lex Salvia poenalis.

5. The lex Salicia de suffragiis in comitiis plebis tributis is corrected to lex Salvia de suffragiis in comitiis plebis tributis

6. The lex Salicia de suffragiis in comitiis populi tributis is corrected to lex Salvia de suffragiis in comitiis populi tributis

7. lex Salicia de convocatione tribunicia comitiorum by the Comitia Populi Tributa is corrected to lex Octavia de convocatione tribunicia comitiorum: this is the same law that was enacted by the Comitia Plebis Tributa but it had to be confirmed by the Comitia Populi Tributa, conducted by consul M. Octavius, and according to the rules in the lex Hortensia, the name shall be changed to Octavia.

C. The lex Arminia Equitia de imperio

1. It is corrected to lex Arminia de imperio

2. Justification: The name Equitia does not have the right to be there. Although Cn. Equitius Marinus drafted it, but he wasn't the presiding magistrate of the legislative session, nor was he the colleague. Although Cn. Marinus was a praetor at that time, and the law was made at the comitia populi tributa, but it was not the consular or praetorial form of comitia tributa, but it was convened in lieu of the plebeian assembly because the number of plebeians was too low. In the interpretation of the praetor, this does not qualifies under the lex Hortensia IV.C.

D. The lex Cornelia et Maria de civitate eiuranda

1. It is corrected to lex Vedia de civitate eiuranda.

2. Justification: The name Cornelia et Maria does not have the right to be there, although L. Cornelius Sulla and C. Marius Merullus drafted it, but none of them was the presiding magistrate of the legislative session, nor were they consuls or praetors of the year, they were censors. Others don't have the right to give their names to a law.

E. The lex Labiena de intercessione

1. It is corrected to lex Salvia de intercessione.

2. Justification: The name Labiena does not have the right to be there, although T. Labienus drafted it, but the presiding magistrate of the legislative session was tribune Cn. Salvius Astur, and although Labienus was praetor that year, the law was enacted by the plebeian assembly.

F. The lex Minucia Moravia de civitate eiuranda

1. It is corrected to the lex Minucia de civitate eiuranda.

2. Justification: The name Moravia does not have the right to be there, although tribune M. Moravius Piscinus drafted it, it was enacted by the people's comitia of consul Minucia Strabo, and not by the plebeian assembly.

III. The fact of name corrections shall be made clear in the publications of these laws, along with all past names if there were others, and the Nova Roma website shall redirect all past versions of the names to the the page with the current, final, name.

Edictum de Renovatione Tabularii

Edictum de Renovatione Tabularii

Preamble

Due to the illegal dictatorship and the mismanagement of digital assets, large portions of our website are still out-of-date or inaccurate. Having regained administration rights, we must seek to update and preserve information, which often stands as our only official record on many facets of our Republic. One important part of the website is the Tabularium. While we have a list of active leges, they are only ordered after the numeric they got once they were approved. This format can be difficult for many citizens to appreciate the interrelationships between all Nova Roma policy and legislation. The Tabularium will get an extensive renovation to make it more accessible and manageable in the future. The following changes will be implemented in the coming weeks:


I. The Tabularium will be streamlined into one mainpage/category, then outbranching to subcategories and subpages.

II. The Index Materiarum will be dissolved as it was rarely used and was never finished.

III. The Leges:

A. The Leges will be ordered in four different variations that can be searched:


- the Codex Juris Novae Romae that will sort the leges into libri of the corresponding Ius (into books corresponding with the respective legal topic of the leges).

- a Consolidated Library of Laws in which the leges are in one single page, allowing a keyword search of all leges simultaneously (utilising the keyboard function CTRL+F).

- the existing chronological lists of ‘all active laws’ and ‘all past laws’ will be maintained and updated as they already are.

- as a minor addition, a glossary of keywords (for example: Praetor, Cives, Magistrates, Senat) linking to the corresponding leges. B. The leges of the Codex Juris Novae Romae will contain all the leges ‘in-force’ and ratified leges (awaiting to be put in-force). Repealed leges will be conserved in the appendix (and in the above maintained list of ‘all past laws’).

C. Each lex will have a section for edicta that modify or expand it and for commentary in which you can find comments by Praetores or judges to help interpret the law. It will also contain links to past edicta that have since expired or become invalidated.

IV. Senatus Consulta et Senatus Consulta Ultima

The Senatus Consultae et Senatus Consultae Ultimae further described as Senatus Consultae will be maintained in the ordered yearly list as they are in the ‘Sessions of the Senate’. Links to impacted leges will be provided in the Codex alongside a short description of topics in the overview. In this short overview it will be detailed if they are still in effect or have since lost validity. V. Edicta

The edicta will be sorted like the Senatus Consulta, in a yearly list. The overview will also detail which magistrate issued each. In addition, to this you will find the corresponding edicta in the Leges subsections (when they deal with a lex). The list will differentiate between edicta of the Res Publica scale and that of the provinces. This will seek to satisfy the Lex Vedia altera de ratione edictorum. VI. Religious Texts

All religious edicta, commentaries and notation of the Collegia will be put in an own religious subcategory to be easily reached. They will be sorted corresponding to their stately counterparts. VII. Technical Terms

All technical terms will be presented in Latin with an English translation in parenthesis to encourage the professional use and memorisation of these terms. VIII. Forms and other Documents

Another Section of the Tabularium will contain the various forms of official status as well as treaties of the Res Publica IX. Assigned Staff

The renovation will be undertaken by the Praetores under the guidance of the Officium Rei Informaticae to uphold the standards of our IT-Infrastructure. Involved persons are namely, Decimus Aurelius Ingeniarius, Gnaeus Cornelius Lentulus, Lucia Silvia Vates and Gaius Artorius Praeconinus. Questions, additional advice and ideas can be sent to any of the involved individuals. If the renovation will not be complete before the election, it is suggested to the next Praetores to renew this Edict.

EDICTUM PRAETORIUM C. ARTORII DE SPONSORIS FLAVIO

Preamble In the senate is at the moment a vote on an Initiative that is a bit of the timeessentiel site. Due to that and in correspondance with the Consules i issue this Edictum. We as Nova Roma, the inheritors of Nova Roma have the duty and obligation to further the cause of Romanitas and help honour those that follow the same cause. A few days ago a Professor ,that researched much and published much about Rome in the nowadays Provincia Germania and the Danube Valley, passed away. A renowned Reenactor of the Late Imperial Era will fullfill a mile long memory march in full gear in honour of the Professor. The Senate is now voting on giving a Sponsorship to said reenactor. Under the signs out of the Senate and from the Consul i have the honour to issue the following Edictum:


I. Nova Roma wishes to honor the memory and the great legacy of Prof. Dr. Hanssjörgen Ubl, to recognize and support the initiative of Geza Frank aka Flavius Stilicho and the Legio XIIII Comitatensis "Quartodecimani", the Ripenses Danubienses Project, and to contribute financially to the Professor Hannsjörg Ubl Danube Limes Memorial March and to further projects of Geza Frank aka Flavius Stilicho.

II. Hereby is created the "Professor Hannsjörg Ubl Danube Limes Memorial March Fund" that is fueled by money donated for this exact Fund towards the Treasury of Nova Roma.

III. The fundraising, the management of the "Professor Hannsjörg Ubl Danube Limes Memorial March Fund" and the sending of the donation of Nova Roma to Geza Frank aka Flavius Stilicho will be untertaken by the Officium Praetores with consular approval and support.

IV. A Paypal account will be made available in a seperate E-Mail and will stay open for donations forseven Days from the Email on forward. The State encourages all Citizens to donate at least a symbolic value towards the fund.

V. Should against all odds the Senate vote against the funding, all donations will be counted as private donations towards this endeavor.


I close with the hope that we will set a sign for all in the world to see as the Reenactor of course will name the Res Publica as a generous and helpfull donor.

Censeo Romam esse florendam.

Edictum praetorium C. Artorii de foris publicis

EDICTUM PRAETORIUM C. ARTORII DE FORIS PUBLICIS

Preamble Due to the slight upheaval of late in certain communication platforms, a topic has arisen that till now was not very important. Since the tyranny of an illegal self-proclaimed dictator the reputation of Nova Roma got damaged, and we are slowly rebuilding it. Sadly such a new blossoming flower can especially in the age of the internet be easily damaged. To safeguard the reputation of Nova Roma as an organisation, I issue this edictum after I have consulted the curator rei informaticae.

I. Every citizen has the right to open communication platforms as they see fit for gatherings, talks and so on. This is safeguarded by the leges of Nova Roma.

II. Every channel, platform or similar created by a private citizen alone has to be clearly distinguishable from official ways of communication of the Res Publica. This can be done through an attached descriptive word, for example "private", to the name "Nova Roma" or by not using the words "Nova Roma" or "official" or the use of the logo of Nova Roma in a misguiding way.

III. If a citizen talks about Nova Roma in another media platform, he is not allowed to pretend to be a magistrate, senator or otherwise elected or appointed officer.

This three rules should be clear and understandable. It safeguards the Reputation of Nova Roma as a whole against any unclear or prematured comments in groups that don't have a clearer insight into the Res Publica. I guarantues that every statement is visible as a personal opinion and not the opinion of the state.

Citizen Gaius Ausonius Nicolaus has the right to talk and state his case before the Praetores and the Tribuni. The moderation will then be lifted depending on the outcome of the talks.

Edictum aedilicium de sermone et moderatione fori (Main list moderation edict)

EDICTUM AEDILICIUM DE SERMONE ET MODERATIONE FORI (MAIN LIST MODERATION EDICT)

We, aediles of Nova Roma for the current year, in the interest of amicable and fruitful interaction amongst the citizenry and friends of Nova Roma within our three principal fora, promulgate the following edict for civil conduct within the Fora Nova Romana:

I. We hereby rescind the EDICTUM CONSULARE DE SERMONE ET MODERATIONE FORI of consul Q. Arrius Nauta which set out many reasonable rules of conduct, but which applied only to the principal list of Nova Roma: the Forum Cassium or the Forum Novum Romanum (also known as The Main List or the ML).

II. The following rules of conduct apply to all three of Nova Roma’s official fora (the Forum Cassium, Forum Cornelium, and Forum Domitium):

II.A. All members of each group agree to support Nova Roma and its mission for advancing Romanitas and the rebirth of the Roman People united in Nova Roma all over the world. We acknowledge, respect and support all other Roman organizations as our brothers in this path, however, these groups were created and are maintained for the purpose of promoting Nova Roma. It is not permitted to discuss preferences for, or recruit for, other organizations on this forum, with the exception of those officially allied with and sponsored by Nova Roma, but members of our brother organizations may share details of their events and projects in cases when involvement is open to all. We require our group members to be polite, respectful, positive and supportive. We will defend our Roman brothers and sisters in whichever community they belong to. Insulting and disrespecting ANY Roman organization will result in moderation and potential removal from the group.

II.B. Rudeness is not accepted in our fora. Rudeness is a vice, an error in virtue, not worthy of a virtuous Roman. We are, among other things, an educational organization, and we must maintain a standard of tone and behaviour. Nova Roma, as a revivalist community, doesn't just simply emulate everything from Rome, but we are reviving the Roman virtues, the best of Rome, particularly the cardinal Roman virtues of "dignitas" (behaving in a dignified way), "pietas" (respectful goodness within society), "gravitas" (self-control and restraint, seriousness in manner, causing feelings of respect and trust in others): "auctoritas" (the ability to influence others, just by being who you are). Impolite words are not acceptable: phrase your criticisms always in a respectful and amicable way. It is not permitted to use harsh, insulting or hurtful language against other list members, or to conduct personal quarrels publicly. Rudeness, impolite tone, insults and ad hominem attacks will result in moderation and potential removal.

III. The following rules are specific to the Forum Cassium or the Forum Novum Romanum (also known as The Main List or the ML - https://groups.io/g/TheForumRomanum) founded and owned by M. Cassius Iulianus

III. A. The Main List (ML) is open to everyone, regardless of citizenship status. The ML is not open to anyone under the age of 16 years.

III. B. Citizens are reminded that the ML is a moderated list, and all posts sent to the ML must conform to the requirements and restrictions of the laws of Nova Roma, including the current moderation edict.

III. C. Citizens are reminded that the ML is not classified as an adult group and should govern their choice of language accordingly. Additionally, citizens should be aware that posts that may be considered defamatory, libellous or otherwise injurious could give rise to a cause of action either within Nova Roma under any current relevant leges, or macronationally in courts of competent jurisdiction and should therefore govern themselves accordingly.

III. D. All posts will be expected to be signed by the poster's Roman name. Roman letter format is mandatory: this is not a chat room or comment section, but the dignified forum of the New Roman People. Latin openings and closings are suggested and encouraged. More information about the use of Latin in email is given here:

http://www.novaroma.org/nr/Latin_for_e-mail

III. E. The business language of this mailing list is English, and its ceremonial language is Latin, but there is no restriction on the use of other languages. However, official communications from state authorities and announcements that concern the entire citizenry must be, or at least summarized. in English. If there is any suspicion or complaint regarding messages written in any language other than English, the moderators may either request an English translation of the suspicious message or have it translated by their scribes or by volunteer NR interpreters.

III. E. i. Any message, in any language, found in default of laws of Nova Roma or this moderation edict, will be treated as violating the applicable items of this Edict and the sender may become subject to stricter moderation if his message contained insults that he hoped to veil by the use of a language other than English. Any future conflict will be adjudicated in compliance with the Lex Cornelia poenalis.

IV. The following rules are specific to the Forum Cornelium or Forum Lentuli (or in one phrase Forum Cornelium Lentuli), founded and owned by Cn. Cornelius Lentulus (https://www.facebook.com/novaroma.org/):

IV. A. Facebook is used for increase social life and educational activity of Nova Roma. Internal debates and controversies should not go into this forum. In the Facebook only one statement of candidacy is allowed, or one announcement about the current topic of the comitia, for example, the text of the proposed law and the time of voting. Endorsements, oppositions, discussions should be in the Main List of Nova Roma. Citizens can hold political discussion in their private groups if needed, away from the eye of the world.

V. The following rules are specific to the Forum Domitium, first established and owned by T. Domitius Draco, subsequently extended by C. Artorius Praeconinus (https://discord.com/channels/397275306207084554):

V. A. Ensure you are posting your content in the correct channel. Violations may be deleted without warning. Understand that due to the presence of minors (and the wishes of most citizens), on this platform, profanity and adult content is not tolerated, with the exception of a special channel illis-aetatis-maturae, for adult content of a Roman nature.

V. B. This group allows members to post and discuss a diverse array of subject matter. It is requested that material posted has at least some semblance or link to ancient Rome in some form. Please read and follow the channel descriptions and keep content to the correct channels. macro-off-topic may be used to discuss anything otherwise unrelated to ancient Rome.

V. C. We support authors, artists and creators. If you share an image, post or written text, please be sure to acknowledge the original author or source. We respect all intellectual property.

V. D. This group does allow business advertising and promotion of other groups provided they are Roman themed or Roman related. Be sure to post any Roman themed advertising in correct channels. Abuse of this privilege will not be tolerated. Spamming is not allowed.

VI. Prohibited, disruptive or offensive conduct, language, or a combination thereof, as defined either by the moderators or this edict, will be dealt with by warnings, imposed moderation, or removal from the relevant forum, in escalating measure. The moderators are not bound by precedent in deciding these matters, which will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

VII. Serious consideration will be taken of any apology or explanation in defence of a behaviour for which a penalty may be or has been considered by the moderators with the understanding that, ultimately, the decision of the moderators, subject to all legal forms of redress and veto within the Res Publica, will be considered final.

VIII. This edict shall take effect immediately.
