Album Civium

Cn. Cornelius Lentulus imperator is currently serving the res publica as aedilis curulis. Besides this important magistracy, he also serves the consular government as praefectus rei publicae administrandae (the equivalent of the ancient praefectus urbi, a representative chief minister of the consuls coordinating the administration), praefectus praetorio (chief of staff), and as curator rei informaticae (supervisor of the websites, internet and IT assets of Nova Roma). Cn. Lentulus is a senator of Nova Roma, and he is the princeps iuventutis, the premier member of the Equestrian Order, a pontifex, the priest of Concordia, and works as an assisting scriba to several magistrates. He is the legatus pro praetore of Pannonia, since Kal. Apr. Fr. Apulo C. Laenate cos. MMDCCLVIII a.u.c., praefectus of Italia since Kal. Mar. Cn. Caesare C. Tullio cos. MMDCCLXV a.u.c., and temporary overarching supreme governor, dux, of most of the provinces of Nova Roma that are under development since Non. Oct. Q. Arrio (II) T. Domitio (III) cos. MMDCCLXXIII a.u.c.. Lentulus received the corona civica, the acclamation of imperator twice, and was awarded two triumphs, for victoriously saving and consolidating Nova Roma.

BIOGRAPHY

Cn. Lentulus has a professional background that is very useful in his work for Roman reconstructionism. He has an M.A. degree in classical studies in the Hungarian university (ELTE), specializing in Latin and Greek languages, Roman history, literature, philosophy, religion and culture, which made him scholarly immersed in Romanitas. Lentulus worked for years as a high school Latin teacher, then as a university Latin teacher of archaeologists and as a researcher at the Latin dialectology department of the Research Institute of Linguistics at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and now he teaches Latin to medics at the university. Besides teaching, currently Lentulus has a pending PhD from classical philology and M.A. degree of Italian studies.

Lentulus felt Roman, and decided to live as a Roman, since his childhood. Originally known as L. Iulius Caesar Lupus, when he was 16, he assumed his white toga virilis according to Roman tradition long before he knew Nova Roma. Upon this occasion, his maternal grandfather Cn. Cornelius Lentulus Alexander adopted him in this Roman ceremony as his son which caused Caesar Lupus's name to change to Cn. Cornelius Lentulus Caesar (this reflected a real legal name change). Later Lentulus Caesar has founded a Roman harmonist association, the Consociatio Hungarica Ad Rem Romanam Reficiundam, and he hoped that some day he would find many people who think similarly to him and want to restore the Roman Republic. At this time, still before Nova Roma, he received a third cognomen, "Pius," from his group members because of his efforts in reviving the Roman religion. Upon joining Nova Roma, Lentulus has decided not to use his adoptive cognomen "Caesar" and his third cognomen "Pius," although privately he kept honoring his full name.

When he joined Nova Roma, his provincia, Pannonia, was in the worst condition, so he decided to reorganize it and make it a real community. Kal. Apr. Fr. Apulo C. Laenate cos. MMDCCLVIII a.u.c. the senate appointed him pro praetore of Pannonia and he started his work. Pannonia is regarded now as the most successful and most active provincia of Nova Roma.

Lentulus practiced the religio Romana long before he knew Nova Roma as a very important element in his Romanitas. Since Kal. Ian. K. Buteone Po. Minucia cos. MMDCCLIX a.u.c. he has been provincial sacerdos of Pannonia. In the year of the Tenth Anniversary of Nova Roma, he was appointed sacerdos Concordiae, and was one of the main organizers of the celebrations of the Tenth Anniversary as the Sacred Year of Concordia. He was coopted among the pontifices in the anniversary year, and a seat in the senate was also offered to him that he declined. He was later distinguished for his many years of service with elevation as eques equo publico to the equestrian order as the premier equestrian, with the honorific title princeps iuventutis. Cn. Lentulus was also the chief organizer as curator sacrorum et ludorum Vicennalium of the Twentieth Anniversary programs and celebrations of Nova Roma, and he organized the VII International Conventus of Nova Roma in Rome, Italia, to mark the Vicennalia (XX Anniversary). In the year of the Twentieth Anniversary, Sacred Year of Concordia, he was awarded the title pater patriae by the senate, which he deferred, with the approval of the senate, to his pater familias, Cn. Cornelius Lentulus Alexander, for completing the founding of Nova Roma the previous year. He also organized the VIII International Conventus of Nova Roma in Aquincum (Budapest), Pannonia, which was dedicated to the Quinvicennalia, the XXV Anniversary of the Founding of Nova Roma.

On Non. Oct. Q. Arrio (II) T. Domitio (III) cos. MMDCCLXXIII a.u.c., Lentulus received as a task from the senate the complete reorganization and revitalization of most of the provinces of Nova Roma that were in a critical status at that time, and he has been working on this important mission ever since.

Cn. Lentulus was bestowed with the corona civica, and was acclaimed imperator twice, and was awarded two triumphs, for victoriously leading the legions of Nova Roma in overcoming a complicated conflict called the "Third Bellum Civile" of Nova Roma, during which the Roman reconstructionist communities of Canada, Cenomania and other parts of America were consolidated for Nova Roma.

Lentulus is a wholehearted Roman republican; his ideals in Roman political life are M. Tullius Cicero, P. Cornelius Lentulus Spinther, Q. Lutatius Catulus, M. Porcius Cato, L. Papirius Cursor, P. Cornelius Scipio, and men of like mind. Lentulus believes in the total reconstruction of Rome as much as possible and reasonable.
