In memory of Cn. Cornelius Lentulus Alexander
CN. CORNELIUS LENTULUS ALEXANDER
(Sándor Gonda),
IMPERATOR, PATER PATRIAE, CENSORIAL and CONSULAR SENATOR of Nova Roma,
has passed away while holding the office of CENSOR and PROCONSUL.
He lived 93 years.
He will live in our hearts forever!
The most respected Cn. Lentulus Alexander will be missed not only as a leader of Nova Roma, "Lentulus the Elder was like a new Romulus, in unison with our founders Cassius and Vedius" as consul Q. Arrius praised him, but also as a role model to many, and a father and most reliable support to one of the most productive citizens, a chief theoretician of Nova Roma, Cn. Lentulus the Younger.
Nova Roma and the Nova Romans extend their condolence to the family and friends of Cn. Lentulus Alexander. Nova Roma will pray for Cn. Lentulus and his family in this difficult time, and ceremonies in his memory will be performed. The senate has also awarded a funus censorium, a censorial state funeral and fifteen days of official State Mourning, memorial games called the Ludi Cornelii, and a new series of coins minted, all these to be done in his memory. The Nova Roman censorial funeral takes place as a separate ceremony after the actual funeral, but the senate and people of Nova Roma have donated an amount towards the costs of his actual funeral, making the pater patriae Cn. Lentulus' actual funeral an official Nova Roman event and a real Roman funus censorium. You can help and support his family and his funeral by donations as announced in our forum.
THANK YOU for your contribution and dedication to Nova Roma, dear Lentulus Alexander! Thank you for being our fellow citizen for more than a decade!
Farewell our censor and proconsul CN. CORNELIUS LENTULUS ALEXANDER, consular senator!
