<p>As in every month of November, our [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nova-Roma/messages  Nova Roma central forum] will draw everyone's attention. For this the '''elections''' month! The campaign will soon begins and the vote will start from the mid-november. Nova Roma will then have Its ''Designati''.</p>

<p>In December, Nova Roma has yet almost all of its "designati" magistrates for next year, 2761 a.u.c.. Three major events have marked these elections: first they knew recurrent problems of organization. Second, a couple of promising consuls have been elected : Marcus Moravius Piscinus and Titus Iulius Sabinus. Third, Galerius won the censorate vs. Hortensia, probably because the electors did not like that however dedicated Hortensia did not run for praetor and consul before running for censor. </p>

<p>Like last winter, the current elections are already ''a bit deceiving''. On a first point, we see that, like in 2759, there are not enough candidates. Not only enough to allow a fair and open struggle between all, but also no good wills enough to fill up all the positions.</p>

<p>Consul Galerius is thus ending his consulate, the same way he managed it all this year long : with good intents.</p>

<p>This is, for the second consecutive year, the proof that Nova Roma public life does not attract any more people enough, and that our citizenry is not big enough to feed, automatically, our offices.</p>

<p>Our consul - for the other one has finished... doing nothing - thus presents the comitia populi a Lex de curso honorum. As most of Galerius's texts, this draft must be read from the first to the last line. The major part of the text is thus very interesting, until a clause IX which proposes that no magistrate, from aedile, shall be authorized, from next Jan. 2761 on, to run for the next step before one year.</p>

<p>On a second point, we also state that a few candidates do not make, on their name, and beyond any political consideration, the consensus on their skills and "size" to fit the function.</p>

<p>Precisely when we miss people to fill the offices, and curiously just when Galerius himself has just finished his cursus, he is acting as if he would like to de-motivate or disdain people, specially new ones, who precisely may bring fresh ideas and strenghts to Nova Roma.

<p>On a last point, we may also see that several candidates, even the more respectable ones, have decided to jump over normal steps of the cursus honorum. Yes, Nova Roma allow them to do it. But what about our old cursus honorum?</p>

<p>Ah, last! The Senat is currently in session, and has welcome new senators on Nonas, adlected by the Censors. There are, including your obedient servants, nine new senators, while four members are removed from the Album senatorium, including our ghost consul Lucius Arminius Faustus. We might have new magistri araenarii and a new governor for Germania, but the big issues remain how to cope with the difficulty for the consuls to get financial informations from holder of accounts P.

−
<p>Nova Roma thus seems having fallen in a vicious circle : as there are not enough candidates, people feel allowed to go faster, sometimes to change things, though. But doing this, they also decrease the value of our magistracies and do not let the time to the most recent citizens to learn quietly, thanks their advices, on romanity and public affairs, etc..</p>

<p>One of the wise measures could be, as sailors do in rough weather, to "reduce the sail" and decrease the number of a few offices, whose necessity is tiny and which would increase at the same time the ''aura'' of the others. We could thus lower the number of our tribunes from five to three, think on lowering the number of our quaestors or appoint some of them to several magistrates at a time, reduce the access to the curule functions adopting the ancient cursus honorum, etc..

<p>November may also be the month of a senatorial session, which will particularly examine the reports sent by the provincial governors after a year in office. I have the honor sending this 27 October Gallia's report, that I have written, to our consuls. Unless the Senators will have read it, this annual report will not be available inside Nova Roma. However, an exception has been made for Galli citizens, for this [http://www.novaroma.org/nr/Provincia_Gallia_-_Government_%28Nova_Roma%29_-_GAR_-_2760 report] can be consulted in this provincial site. I however rely on you not to dispatch it, in any form, inside Nova Roma fora, before the Senate session.</p>

    Salvete Galli!

    In December, Nova Roma has yet almost all of its "designati" magistrates for next year, 2761 a.u.c.. Three major events have marked these elections: first they knew recurrent problems of organization. Second, a couple of promising consuls have been elected : Marcus Moravius Piscinus and Titus Iulius Sabinus. Third, Galerius won the censorate vs. Hortensia, probably because the electors did not like that however dedicated Hortensia did not run for praetor and consul before running for censor.

    Consul Galerius is thus ending his consulate, the same way he managed it all this year long : with good intents.

    Our consul - for the other one has finished... doing nothing - thus presents the comitia populi a Lex de curso honorum. As most of Galerius's texts, this draft must be read from the first to the last line. The major part of the text is thus very interesting, until a clause IX which proposes that no magistrate, from aedile, shall be authorized, from next Jan. 2761 on, to run for the next step before one year.

    Precisely when we miss people to fill the offices, and curiously just when Galerius himself has just finished his cursus, he is acting as if he would like to de-motivate or disdain people, specially new ones, who precisely may bring fresh ideas and strenghts to Nova Roma. A strong opposition seems to organize itself against this text.

    Ah, last! The Senat is currently in session, and has welcome new senators on Nonas, adlected by the Censors. There are, including your obedient servants, nine new senators, while four members are removed from the Album senatorium, including our ghost consul Lucius Arminius Faustus. We might have new magistri araenarii and a new governor for Germania, but the big issues remain how to cope with the difficulty for the consuls to get financial informations from holder of accounts P. Cassia and how to drive the Pontifex maximus and the collegium pontificum to be more present in Nova Roma's life...
