This law, together with the lex Arminia Equitia de imperio and the lex Arminia Equitia de dignitate curuli, is intended to define the last of the five characteristics of the powers of Nova Roman magistrates.

I.A. Although "sanctitas" is originally a religious term, this definition and law will deal only with the legal consequences of sanctitas.

I.B. Religious definitions and the consequences of the attribution of sanctitas to the Religio Romana are not within the scope of this law.

II.A. No magistrate may hold both sanctitas and curule dignitas at the same time, unless the curule dignitas is from a provincial magistrature.

II.B. No magistrature may be defined as having both these attributes.

III. A magistrate possessing the attribute of sanctitas may not possess any special symbol or feature of that magistrature, including the wearing of any special toga.

IV.A. A magistrate possessing sanctitas may not be charged under Nova Roman law during his magistracy.

IV.B. This law, however, explicitly states that this provision does not apply to macronational charges.

V. If a magistrate possessing sanctitas is put on moderation, he may be released by a simple veto of one tribune of the plebs.

VI. This law shall not be interpreted as defining in any way which magistracies possess sanctitas.

Repealed by Lex Minucia, a.d. III Non. Mai. MMDCCLIX (05 May 2006)
