Salvete omnes!

Hodie est ante diem VI Kalendas Decembris; haec dies comitialis est.

"Q. Fabius and L. Fulvius were the consuls for the following year. The
war in Samnium was threatening to take a more serious turn, as it was
stated that mercenary troops had been hired from the neighbouring
states. The apprehensions created led to the nomination of A.
Cornelius Arvina as Dictator, with M. Fabius Ambustus as Master of the
Horse. These commanders carried out the enrolment with unusual
strictness, and led an exceptionally fine army into Samnium. But
although they were on hostile territory, they exercised as little
caution in choosing the site for their camp as though the enemy had
been at a great distance. Suddenly the Samnite legions advanced with
such boldness that they encamped with their rampart close to the Roman
outposts. The approach of night prevented them from making an
immediate attack; they disclosed their intention as soon as it grew
light the next morning. The Dictator saw that a battle was nearer than
he expected, and he determined to abandon a position which would
hamper the courage of his men. Leaving a number of watch-fires alight
to deceive the enemy, he silently withdrew his troops, but owing to
the proximity of the camps his movement was not unobserved. The
Samnite cavalry immediately followed on his heels but refrained from
actual attack till it grew lighter, nor did the infantry emerge from
their camp before daybreak. As soon as they could see, the cavalry
began to harass the Roman rear, and by pressing upon them where
difficult ground had to be crossed, considerably delayed their
advance. Meantime the infantry had come up, and now the entire force
of the Samnites was pressing on the rear of the column.

As the Dictator saw that no further advance was possible without heavy
loss, he ordered the ground he was holding to be measured out for a
camp. But as the enemy's cavalry was gradually enveloping them, it was
impossible to procure wood for the stockade or to commence their
entrenchment. Finding that to go forward and to remain where he was
were equally out of the question, the Dictator ordered the baggage to
be removed from the column and collected and the line of battle
formed. The enemy formed also into line, equally matched in courage
and in strength. Their confidence was increased by their attributing
the retirement of the Romans to fear and not, as was actually the
case, to the disadvantageous position of their camp. This made the
fight for some considerable time an even one, though the Samnites had
long been unaccustomed to stand the battle-shout of the Romans. We
read that actually from nine o'clock till two in the afternoon the
contest was maintained so equally on both sides that the shout which
was raised at the first onset was never repeated, the standards
neither advanced nor retreated, in no direction was there any giving
way. They fought, each man keeping his ground, pressing forward with
their shields, neither looking back nor pausing for breath. Their
noise and tumult never grew weaker, the fighting went on perfectly
steadily, and it looked as if it would only be terminated by the
complete exhaustion of the combatants or the approach of night. By
this time the men were beginning to lose their strength and the sword
its vigour, whilst the generals were baffled. A troop of Samnite
cavalry, who had ridden some distance round the Roman rear, discovered
that their baggage was lying at a distance from the combatants without
any guard or protection of any kind. On learning this the whole of the
cavalry rode up to it eager to secure the plunder. A messenger in hot
haste reported this to the Dictator, who remarked: 'All right, let
them encumber themselves with spoil.' Then the soldiers one after
another began to exclaim that their belongings were being plundered
and carried off. The Dictator sent for the Master of the Horse. 'Do
you see,' he said, 'M. Fabius, that the enemy's cavalry have left the
fight? They are hampering and impeding themselves with our baggage.
Attack them whilst they are scattered, as plundering parties always
are; you will find very few of them in the saddle, very few with
swords in their hands. Cut them down whilst they are loading their
horses with spoil, with no weapons to defend themselves, and make it a
bloody spoil for them! I will look after the infantry battle, the
glory of the cavalry victory shall be yours.'" - Livy, History of
Rome 8.38


"There was naturally short suspense for those present who could not
see, when Lord Carnarvon said to me 'Can you see anything'. I replied
to him 'Yes, it is wonderful.' I then with precaution made the hole
sufficiently large for both of us to see. With the light of an
electric torch as well as an additional candle we looked in. Our
sensations and astonishment are difficult to describe as the better
light revealed to us the marvellous collection of treasures Â… We
closed the hole, locked the wooden-grill which had been placed upon
the first doorway, we mounted our donkeys and return home
contemplating what we had seen." - from the diary of Howard Carter,
upon opening the tomb of Tutankhamun, 26 November A.D. 1922

In A.D. 1908, Lord Carnarvon, a wealthy English aristocrat, obtained a
concession to dig in the Valley of the Kings at Thebes, west of Luxor.
He then asked Howard Carter, who had connections with the authorities
at the Egyptian Antiquities Service, to direct the excavations at Thebes.

Carter cleared the tombs of Tuthmosis the Fourth, Yuya and Thuya, and
Hatshepsut. He was forced to stop the excavations when the First
World War began in 1914, but resumed the work in 1917. On the first of
November 1922, he started digging in a place near the entrance of the
tomb of Ramesses the Sixth.

Four days later, the workmen came upon a trench filled with rubble
leading to a staircase cut in the rock. The staircase led to a blocked
doorway, plastered and sealed with the royal necropolis seals. The
excavations revealed the most unexpected and exquisite discovery ever
found in Egypt, and perhaps anywhere. The tomb of King Tutankhamun was
found after being hidden for more than 3000 years.

After excavation down to the plaster blocks of the tomb, at 4PM on
November 26, 1922, Howard Carter broke through and Lord Carnarvon made
one of the 20th century's most amazing discoveries. It would take
another ten years just to catalog the artifacts from this one tomb.

During this time, Lord Carnarvon died in Cairo of pneumonia. This
sent the already sensational press into a frenzy. Media hype about
the mummy's curse set the media on fire, and much to Carters
displeasure, he began receiving letters from spiritualists from around
the world. Legend has it that by 1929, eleven of the people connected
with the discovery of the tomb had died, including two of Lord
Carnarvon's relatives, and Carter's personal secretary, Richard
Bethell. This would spawn mummy movies through the end of the the
twentieth century and beyond.

Pompeia Minucia Tiberia Quiritibus Novae Romae S.P.D.

I approach you all now, in white stola, and with an earnest, sincere heart and mind, requesting your consideration of my candidacy at the cista as Consul Novae Romae 2759 A.U.C.

I have been a citizen since Ian. 2000.

I have been privileged to participate in various areas of activity in NR, which I've enjoyed thoroughly, and from which I've had the pleasure of learning much from fellow citizens and magistrates more learned than myself. I was Scriba to Marcus Minucius Tiberius Audens Consul, Accensus to Caeso Fabius Buteo Quintilianus Consul, and also this year to Franciscus Apulus Caesar Consul.

I have been a Scriba for the past two years to Curule Aediles Marcus Iulius Perusianus and Lucius Iulius Sulla, respectively. I have participated in Ludi events, and in fundraising for the Magna Mater Project, and in editing academic texts for the Magna Mater website. I was also Scriba to Priscilla Vedia Serena Curatrix Sermona (list moderator) in 2001.

I am an officer in Sodalitas Militarium and Sodalitas Egressus. I am currently serving as Propraetrix Canada Orientalis, a position I've also held in the past, and I was honoured and grateful to be adlected to the Senate this year by our Censors (Thank you).

I am a member of the Libra Alliance.

What has this gained me? Well, alot of knowledge, friendships and treasured memories. But I believe past activity has also furnished me with the experience and personal growth necessary to take on the challenge of Consul.


In analyzing the past three years, I feel at ease in saying that, although this year has by no means been absent of disputes, I see it as a much less caustic year than 2003 and 2004. This, I believe, is largely due to a cohesive government this year, elected by the people, working together to promote religious, political and social concordia, and consequently, growth and respect of Nova Roma. ....and working to disallow abuses from the hands of a few with self-serving agendae.

Concordia does not mean that we should all think exactly alike; rather, concordia is the art of applying mutually adopted solutions to reconcile differences, and its also the art of celebrating what we have in common. A decision to compromise where possible. This is, I believe, how the ancients, despite living in a more combative and volatile environment than we enjoy, became so historically remarkable and admired. They were schooled in the art of concordia. Concordia is the responsibility of all citizens, nonne?...But it is facilitated in my view, by a proactive government, motivated by positive aspirations , directing efforts for the good of us all.

I think this is best achieved with more interpersonal communication, via face-to-face gatherings, and even organized gatherings on line, or telephone, to promote collaboration regarding meaningful, positive and enjoyable projects in Nova Roma.....The 'Go Roman' Program comes to mind.... celebrating one another's talents and uniqueness, ie 'celebrating' Romanitas... as opposed to adopting a mindset of perseverating on what might be very minor interpersonal quips.


I applaud and will assist where possible as Consul in the advocacy and mediation of more concise definition/policy regarding the Religio...bridging gaps between the Collegium Pontificium and those citizens who pursue interest in the Religio. I have a good many friends who practise the Religio...not only as the Religio Publica, but also as a personal conviction. Some of them have left Nova Roma. Yet they have not discontinued their pursuit of the Religio....just Nova Roma. Why? This issue to me, merits examination in the near future, and perhaps definite goals, mission statements; reforms might be merited to prevent unnecessary alienation of those seeking the counsel and example of the CP. I leave these issues in the hands of the Pontifices, but I am willing to mediate, assist and advocate. Further, I will work where I can to promote a warmer understanding between the Collegium Pontificium and those citizens who do not practise the Religio privata, but yet respect the rights
of others to do so.

I am against abolishing the constitution. I believe, though, that portions of its language need to be revisited, for clarity. For one thing, the document is necessary macronationally. It acts as our necessary nonprofit corporation bylaws. (The ancients were not accountable to a macronation and perhaps didn't need bylaws) It is also a statement protecting the rights of our citizens, notably their rights to be subject to their respective macronational laws. It protects the Religio...it is the highest ruling document protecting the Religio. And aside from a couple of prevailing leges involving sanctity of Tribunes, and mandates of certain Ludi, it is the *only* legal place in NR where the Religio is protected. It is likewise, the* only* collective legal statement of the desired attitude of our republic in our vision/approach to other religions, that I can see. It is a general blueprint of our mos maiorum. It is subject to change, but in keeping with the wishes of the people
and 2/3 Senate ratification.
Laws passed by comitia pursue the language and spirit of the constitution. This document cannot be victim to the paper shredder. This would be a disaster, quirites.

This mail is long enough, and I am happy to discuss my opinions with you in more detail if you wish Please write me if you have further questions, and I'll return your mail as soon as possible.

Gnaeus Iulius Caesar Quiritibus S.P.D.

Salvete omnes.

I would like to thank Gaius Equitius Cato for his very generous
endorsement of my abilities and for his support of my candidacy.

Cato actually pre-empted me and I had intended to email him and
casually mention that I was going to endorse him publicly and wait
to see if I received a frantic request from him begging me to take a
small holiday for the duration of the election, somewhere in the
North West Territories out of reach of the internet. I know that my
endorsement of Cato may cause a few mandibles to plummet towards the
floor, in all quarters, but I can only speak as I find and I have
had the benefit of observing him in action on of topics of mutual
concern to us both over the balance of a year.

It is true that Cato and I have sparred mercilessly with each other
and extended little quarter to each other, but both of us have
increasingly found ourselves sitting in the same shell holes. It
truly is a great pleasure in life to debate significant issues
alongside someone who can instinctively balance and expand on points
that one makes, with virtually no explanation being necessary.

This man has a passion for Rome, for his friends, for justice and
for the law. He is highly articulate and exceptionally gifted in
intelligence and common sense. He is also not afraid to march to the
beat of his own drum, and has pursued issues regardless of whether
he finds himself in opposition to those who might be considered his
natural supporters. There have been numerous occasions when, had he
been a lesser man, he would have held his tongue firmly in a vice
and possibly garnered even yet more electoral support, but he did
not flinch from doing and saying what he felt was right. One can
spend only so long sitting on a fence before gravity exerts itself
and one becomes firmly impaled, a fate Cato has never suffered from,
nor ever will I suspect.

I respect Cato and I ration respect very carefully and very
sparingly. He will, in my estimation, make an excellent Curule
Aedile.

Now because Cato is running as part of a team, it is also
appropriate for me to mention his running mate, Titus Iulius
Sabinus. Sabinus is a good friend, a fellow patrician Iulian and one
who has taken Dacia from nothing to a growing and obviously vibrant
province. He has also managed to steer his own steady course through
Nova Roma and has accumulated friends all over our Republic along
the way.

Sabinus is dedicated, focused, calm and rational, yet he too has an
obvious passion for Rome and for Nova Roma. He consults where
necessary and acts decisively if required and he is a builder, a man
who can set goals, formulate a plan and then execute it without
wobbling or quitting.

Sabinus is a good and kind man with an inherent strength of will and
character. He too will make an excellent Curule Aedile.

In closing I applaud both Cato and Sabinus for joining as a team,
for they present a visible representation of a unified Nova Roma,
and remind us all that continental divides can become small ditches.

Pompeia Minucia Tiberia Quiritibus Novae Romae S.P.D.

It has been brought to my attention that I have made a misleading statement in my discussion of the constitution in my message announcing candidacy, #39873.

In it I state that the Constitution is necessary macronationally. More correctly, it is necessary as long as it serves as our nonprofit corporation bylaws.

Since I discuss other reasons for believing why we should keep this document, my general position against its abolition remains unchanged.

I apologize for any unsettlement that I have caused anyone due to this. I thank the citizen who called my attention to this, and out of respect for privacy, I'll leave it to this individual as to whether or not he wishes to identify himself.

If I have occasion to post my candidacy announcement in other venues in NR, I'll amend the text to reflect the correction above. So far, this is the first stop on the campaign trail :)

Valete et Gratias

Ah! I shall have a colleague next year. I had begun to wonder.

I wish to add my voice to the growing (and justifiably so!) number
of citizens who are pleased that Aula Tullia Scholastica is standing
for Rogatrix.

Seemingly everything she does, Tullia puts forth an exemplary effort
and does a great job. She would be a very efficient Rogatrix in my
view.

She's enriched our community with her command of Latin, and other
aspects of Roman history. And she's worked very hard with
sodalitates initiatives and with Tabularium corrections to reflect
proper Latin.

All my best to Aula Tullia Scholastica in this election.

Honored Citizens of Nova Roma;

I come before you to support the candidacy of two extremely deserving men:

Gnaeus Julius Caesar Quiribus S.P.D.

and

Gaius Minucius Hadrianus Felix

Both of these men have served Nova Roma well in past years. Unlike many others who have volunteered and then disappeared these men have not only undertaken the tasks of their commitment but in each case have exceeded all commitments originally made.

I normally do not idly appoint people to positions within my realm of responsibilities and when I do I expect those appointees to complete their commitments and in doing so, I am pleased to evaluate their effectiveness. In the case of both of these men, I cannot say too much about what they have accomplished. I am sure that they can do that far better than I. So, let me say that these two men, in my view and after long observation have served Nova Roma extremely well. I would recommend both for any position that they feel that they can be effective with and in. Let me also say that I trust both of these men explicitly, and would have no compunction about trusting either with my wallet. wife or dog (not necessarily in that order (Grin!!!!!). I cannot say better than that!!!!!

In closing, I urge your serious consideration of the above candidates. After long association with the Citizens of Nova Roma I know that they will do what they see to be the right thing. I urge your attention to these very fine candidates. I feel that you will not see better than these.

Very Respectfully;

Marcus Minucius - Tiberius Audens
Senator and Proconsul

Salvete omnes!

Normally, I send my endorsements in a single e-mail, including my
preferred candidates for each office. However, upon seeing Pompeia
Strabo declare her candidacy for consul, I must make an exception.

Quirites: Pompeia is an assett to the republic. She has performed
admirably in office as well as outside it. Her devotion to Nova Roma is
second to none. If you have any doubts, please let me still them - she
will be an excellent consul. Please give her the chance.

Pompeia: I am VERY glad to see you announce your candidacy. You have my
vote and my heart-felt endorsement! Make me and the republic proud!

Valete, Titus Octavius Pius.

Popmeia: I am very pleased to see that you are a candidate for the Consulship. You have
all my support in your bid and I hope you will succeed.

Therefore, I endorse Pompeia's candidacy. She will be a very active and effective Consul.
Vote for her!!

I would like to offer my full endorsement of Quintus Servilius Priscus
for the office of Questor. I have had many opportunities to deal with Quintus Servilius,
both within and outside of Nova Roma, and I have always found him to be an intelligent, motivated and honorable person, who exemplifies the authentic Roman ideals. His wisdom and knowledge are the main reasons why he is the sort
of public servant Nova Roma needs and deserves. Valete, Lucius Servilius Primus

As many of us have already done, I also add my voice to the citizens supporting Tullia Scholastica in her running for Rogatrix.

I know Tullia from this January and we have worked together in the Charter Review Commission throughout the year. Since in July she was appointed as Official Latin Interpreter I am her Scriba in this office. I could know her in these offices both officially and privately and I can say state that Aula Tullia Scholastica is entirely devoted to everything that is Nova Roma and Latin. Readiness, helpfulness, loveliness, professionalism and immense knowledge and competence in the Roman things: these qualities are characteristics of Tullia Scolastica. I admire her huge energy, efforts and works done throughout the year since I know her. A pride woman, a good friend, a devoted Latinist, an eager citizen: and now, if you support her, an excellent Rogatrix. Vote A. Tullia Scholastica for Rogatrix!

Salvete Omnes,

Senator Audens has pretty well summed up everything but I wish to
add my voice nevertheless. We are well well aware of Gaius
Hadrianus' dedication and work in Res Publica. I have communicated
on and off the list with him and I greatly respect his knowledge,
dedication,diplomacy and reliability.

He has been a great voice for the religio as well and has a real
gift and getting his ideas, belief and faith clearly and logically
to any of us that have had questions or points of view about the
religio and its significance to NR. I know his talents will
certainly shine when he takes on the very demanding office of
Censor and I was so pleased to see Censor Marinus happy about the
announcement. A man with talents and compatable with next year's
current serving Censor; what more could we ask for? I urge you all
to back Gaius Minucius' bid for the office of Censor!

Regards,

Quintus Suetonius Paulinus

Salvete omnes,

Here we have another great choice for this office. Gnaeus Iulius
Caesar has been extremely dedicated to Nova Roma and has done
wonders in Egressus and Canada Occidentalis where I am currently
serving as Propraetor. This gentleman really knows his stuff and has
been in charge of big budgets within the macro world of the law
courts here.
I am praying that he will also be chosen as as Consular quaestor and
he would be the man I'd like to have at my side if I held that
office.
His knowledge of the legal world in macro and NR is impressive to
say the least! I know he shall rise high in our civil service.

Another thing is that I know him in person. Gnaeus is a great down
to earth fellow, with an outgoing personality and a great sense of
humor. He is not shy to meet people or afraid to talk about anything
and his actions in dealing with the public shall be a great asset to
NR. As senator Audens says, you can trust him with anyone or
anything. Lets all be smart about it and put Gnaeus Iulius Caesar in
office of Quaestor!

Regards,

Quintus Suetonius Paulinus

Salve Gai Fabi Buteo Modiane et salvete omnes,

The funny thing I found in life is that often people who became
great friends or more (like my wife), I actually got off on the
wrong foot with; lol, never liked that saying which says you never
get another chance to make a first impression for confidence or
trust is something that takes time.

Something I wanted to add to your comments is that Marca Hortensia
Maior sure has the virtues of "strength" and "tenacity" making her
one hell of a good Roman. Insofar has having a tough time goes I
think she has endured one of the roughest I have seen anyone get in
NR. It does not matter now whether we agreed or disagreed or
scrapped with some of her her ideas or actions (and vice-versa!).
What counts is that she stuck it out come hell or high water and
channelled 100% of all her energies into her several projects and
offices in a Nova Roma rather than quitting or disappearing into the
shadows. By the gods, how many citizens have we seen pack it in and
quit because someone said booh, criticized their post or threw a
little too much on their plate.

Just this observation should be sufficient enough to demonstrate
that Marca Hortensia has what it takes to handle the office of
Plebian Aedile plus any office or challenge that comes her way and
she will certainly have my Plebian vote this election.

Regards,

Quintus Suetonius Paulinus

C. Minucius Hadrianus Felix Quiritibus S.P.D.

Salvete.

I would like to thank Pontifex Gaius Fabius Buteo Modianus, Censor
Gnaeus Equitius Marinus, Senator Marcus Minucius Audens and Quaestor

Unless my memory fails me I seem to recall at one time someone
suggesting a Roman/Classical history and culture book donation program
for Nova Roma, where Nova Roma would make available a "This book was
donated by Nova Roma" decal or sticker that citizens could affix to the
inside cover of a book which would then be donated to a local public or
school library. Did anything ever come of this? Does anyone remember who
made this suggestion? I think it would be an excellent plan both help
carry out Nova Roma's goal of promoting the study of Classical
civilization, and to spread awareness of Nova Roma itself.

You sorta have to run through the "mitya" bit to get to the "LIST" bit

Bravo! I think it's a great idea, and one that NR should start
promoting again. Here's a proposal:

Create a book donation program webpage for the NR site, with the book
plate in various formats available for download. Include a link to the
Nova Roma bookstore in the Macellum (an Amazon.com affiliate program)
that way people can purchase the book they plan on donating there and
send a % of the purchase price to NR's treasury. With the input of the
NR citizenry, create a "Suggested Book" list to give people some ideas
on good books to donate. Also create a list of book donors, with their
name, the book they donated, and the institution the book was given to.

I your the plate design, but you might want to edit it slightly to
remove an potentially controversial language.. perhaps something like this:

Ave, Paulinus.

A friendly suggestion, amice: you might want to rescind the label of
"micronation", as it is a term of much contention that we want to
avoid using (hence the removal of the term from the main page of the
website, by Senate consultum no less, if I remember correctly).

While we are TECHNICALLY a micronation, in that we declare ourselves a
sovereign nation without a state, avoidance of the term is wise and
perhaps even necessary. It's significantly held back recognition of
the validity of Nova Roma in numerous circles due to its association
with the almost laughable nature of most micro-nations extant today.

My suggestion is this; use neutral language, and keep it brief but
informative. Call us exactly what we are: an international classical
reconstructionist organisation with specific aims and eventual goals.
The description that you've provided does an excellent job of this,
but it might be trimmed ever-so-slightly for the sake of brevity and
to display a more overt sense of professionalism... That is, not
appealing to emotional imagery. Then again, that might just be a
little bit of Stoic in me talking.

I'd absolutely love to be involved in this project with you and
Hadrianus, if you'd be so generous. I can be reached via my e-mail
(for the time being), or better yet, through AIM at xkaelusx. Or just
let me know what you think in a discussion here on the ML.

Bene vale,

Salvete,

Four years ago, I left Nova Roma. Today I return today slightly more
mature but no less committed to Nova Romma's mission. During my
voluntary "exile" I never stopped learning and embracing all things
Roman and never stopped looking back fondly at my time spent here. I
am so very proud to once again hold citizenship in the republic that I
am so very fond of.

I look forward to catching up on events that have transpired since my
leave.

Yours once again in service of the res publica,

Salvete omnes!

Hodie est ante diem V Kalendas Decembris; haec dies comitialis est.

"The cavalry force, riding in perfect order, charged the enemy whilst
scattered and hampered by their plunder and filled the whole place
with carnage. Incapable of either resistance or flight they were cut
down amongst the packages which they had thrown away and over which
their startled horses were stumbling. After almost annihilating the
enemy's cavalry, M. Fabius led his cavalry by a short circuit round
the main battle and attacked the Samnite infantry from behind. The
fresh shouting which arose in that direction threw them into a panic,
and when the Dictator saw the men in front looking round, the
standards getting into confusion, and the whole line wavering, he
called upon his men and encouraged them to fresh efforts; he appealed
to the military tribunes and first centurions by name to join him in
renewing the fight. They again raised the battle-shout and pressed
forward, and wherever they advanced they saw more and more
demoralisation amongst the enemy. The cavalry were now within view of
those in front, and Cornelius, turning round to his maniples,
indicated as well as he could by voice and hand that he recognised the
standards and bucklers of his own cavalry. No sooner did they see and
hear them than, forgetting the toil and travail they had endured for
almost a whole day, forgetting their wounds, and as eager as though
they had just emerged fresh from their camp after receiving the signal
for battle, they flung themselves on the enemy. The Samnites could no
longer bear up against the terrible onset of the cavalry behind them
and the fierce charge of the infantry in front. A large number were
killed between the two, many were scattered in flight. The infantry
accounted for those who were hemmed in and stood their ground, the
cavalry created slaughter among the fugitives; amongst those killed
was their commander-in-chief.

This battle completely broke down the resistance; so much so that in
all their councils peace was advocated. It could not, they said, be a
matter of surprise that they met with no success in an unblest war,
undertaken in defiance of treaty obligations, where the gods were more
justly incensed against them than men. That war would have to be
expiated and atoned for at a great cost. The only question was whether
they should pay the penalty by sacrificing the few who were guilty or
shedding the innocent blood of all. Some even went so far as to name
the instigators of the war. One name, especially, was generally
denounced, that of Brutulus Papius. He was an aristocrat and possessed
great influence, and there was not a shadow of doubt that it was he
who had brought about the breach of the recent truce. The praetors
found themselves compelled to submit a decree which the council
passed, ordering Brutulus Papius to be surrendered and all the
prisoners and booty taken from the Romans to be sent with him to Rome,
and further that the redress which the fetials had demanded in
accordance with treaty-rights should be made as law and justice
demanded. Brutulus escaped the ignominy and punishment which awaited
him by a voluntary death, but the decree was carried out; the fetials
were sent to Rome with the dead body, and all his property was
surrendered with him. None of this, however, was accepted by the
Romans beyond the prisoners and whatever articles amongst the spoil
were identified by the owners; so far as anything else was concerned,
the surrender was fruitless. The senate decreed a triumph for the
Dictator." - Livy, History of Rome 8.39



"Up to the present I have not obtained from any poet the same artistic
delight as was given me from the first by a Horatian ode. In certain
languages that which is obtained here cannot even be hoped for. The
mosaic of words in which every word, by sound, by position and by
meaning, diffuses its force right, left and over the whole, that
minimum in the compass and number of signs, that maximum thus realized
in their energy,--all that is Roman, and if you will believe me, it is
noble par excellence. All other poetry becomes somewhat too popular in
comparison with it - mere sentimental loquacity." - Friederich
Nietzsche, "Twilight of the Idols"

"Tu ne quaesieris, scire nefas, quem mihi, quem tibi
finem di dederint, Leuconoe, nec Babylonios
temptaris numeros. ut melius, quicquid erit, pati,
seu pluris hiemes seu tribuit Iuppiter ultimam,
quae nunc oppositis debilitat pumicibus mare
Tyrrhenum: sapias, uina liques, et spatio breui
spem longam reseces. dum loquimur, fugerit inuida
aetas: carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

(Don't ask [it's forbidden to know] what final fate the gods have
given to me and you, Leuconoe, and don't consult Babylonian
horoscopes. How much better it is to accept whatever shall be,
whether Iuppiter has given many more winters or whether this is the
last one, which now breaks the force of the Tuscan sea against the
facing cliffs. Be wise, strain the wine, and trim distant hope within
short limits. While we're talking, grudging time will already
have fled: seize the day, trusting as little as possible in tomorrow)
- Horace, Odes 1.11


"Laetus in praesens animus quod ultra est
oderit curare, et amara lento
temperet risu: nihil est ab omni
parte beatum."

(Let the mind which is happy in the present
refuse to concern itself with what's beyond, and
let it soften what's harsh with a quiet smile:
nothing is perfect from every angle.) - Horace, Odes 2.16


"Quid sit futurum cras fuge quaerere, et
quem fors dierum cumque dabit lucro
adpone, nec dulcis amores
sperne puer neque tu choreas..."

(Leave off asking what tomorrow will bring, and
whatever days fortune will give, count them
as profit, and while you're young don't scorn
sweet love affairs and dances...) - Horace, Odes 1.19


On this day in 8 B.C., the poet Horace died. Quintus Horatius
Flaccus, known in English as Horace, was born at Venusia, near the
border of Apulia, in 65 B.C. His father, a former slave who had freed
himself before the birth of his son, sent him to school in Rome. As a
young man Horace went to Athens and studied philosophy at the famous
schools. When the Civil War broke out he enlisted in the army of
Brutus, served at Philippi, and came back to Rome not long after.
Deprived of his property as a result of the proscriptions, he began
life anew at the age of twenty-four as a clerk in a public office. Not
long after, he attracted the attention of Maecenas, and soon became
acquainted with Varius and Vergil, henceforth devoting himself to
literary pursuits. His first work, the first book of Satires, was
published in 35 B.C. About a year later, Maecenas presented him with
the celebrated Sabine Farm, and Horace was at liberty to the end of
his life to do as he liked. Before he died he was famous: the Emperor
Augustus commissioned him to write the fourth book of Odes.

Salvete Omnes,

I would like to give my full support for the candidacy of Gnaeus Iulius Caesar as
Quaestor. This citizen has shown much activity and dedication in the Go Roman project.
His results are outstanding and I can testify there is no task Gnaeus Iulius Caesar is
afraid of!! I am quite confident he will serve for the best of Nova Roma.

Valete,

Sextus Apollonius Scipio

Propraetor Galliae

Salvete Omnes,

I have known these two citizens for quite a while now and needless to say that they are
very dedicated to our Nation and that they know it more than well. I believe the position
of Praetor will be more important than ever next year. This two men will be the right
ones.

Valete,

Sextus Apollonius Scipio

Salvete,

What a pleasant surprise!

Having had the pleasure to work with this individual on her provincial
staff in the past I hold her in the highest esteem. Her governance of
the province of Canada Orientalis has been nothing but superb. Pompeia
will be a fabulous consul and leader of this fine republic. I am eager
to witness her leadership throughout the coming year.

although this year has by no means been absent of disputes, I see it
as a much less caustic year than 2003 and 2004. This, I believe, is
largely due to a cohesive government this year, elected by the people,
working together to promote religious, political and social concordia,
and consequently, growth and respect of Nova Roma. ....and working to
disallow abuses from the hands of a few with self-serving agendae.

> Concordia does not mean that we should all think exactly alike;

rather, concordia is the art of applying mutually adopted solutions to
reconcile differences, and its also the art of celebrating what we
have in common. A decision to compromise where possible. This is, I
believe, how the ancients, despite living in a more combative and
volatile environment than we enjoy, became so historically remarkable
and admired. They were schooled in the art of concordia. Concordia
is the responsibility of all citizens, nonne?...But it is facilitated
in my view, by a proactive government, motivated by positive
aspirations , directing efforts for the good of us all.

but also as a personal conviction. Some of them have left Nova Roma.
Yet they have not discontinued their pursuit of the Religio....just
Nova Roma. Why? This issue to me, merits examination in the near
future, and perhaps definite goals, mission statements; reforms might
be merited to prevent unnecessary alienation of those seeking the
counsel and example of the CP. I leave these issues in the hands of
the Pontifices, but I am willing to mediate, assist and advocate.

protects the Religio...it is the highest ruling document protecting
the Religio. And aside from a couple of prevailing leges involving

Salvete omnes.

I think the best way to start this off is with individual donations i.e.
books purchased & donated directly by citizens. We can provide the
plates (as a download) and perhaps book suggestions. Perhaps over time
Nova Roma can set aside money (or create a separate Book Fund that
citizens can donate to) to finance book donations, but setting up
something like that will take time and Senate approval. By initially
focusing on individual donations, we can get this started much more quickly.

I'll be more than happy to come up with a web page design, which we can
submit to the NR web master for inclusion in the NR site.

Once we agree on the text of the plate, I also don't mind whipping up
some design ideas for that as well. I think we should have 3-4 different
sizes available to fit different books.

Valete bene,

Hadrianus

Salve, Quinte Fabi Allecte; salvete, Quirites!

I have seen your candidacy for the Questorship with great pleasure, and I would like to express my total support and best wishes.

I know Q. Fabius Allectus personally since this August, when we met in Provincia Pannonia, in my province, during the Ludi Savarienses, in which both Provincia Pannonia and the official legio of Provincia Italia (Legio I.Italica) participated. In this event, which took three days, we could meet and talk several times and I could see that Q. Fabius Allectus has all the good qualities and knowledge to be an excellent Quaestor of our Republic. He is a reenactor soldier of the Legio I. Italica, deep aware of the Roman military culture and experienced in the Roman way of life. His frequent reenactment actions adequately demonstrate his devotion to Nova Roma and on the ground of this personal acquaintance I myself take Q. Fabius Allectus into your confidence and commend him to be elected as Quaestor.

Vote Q. Fabius Allectus for Quaestor!

Salvete,

I attempted to endorse Gaius Fabius Buteo Modianus' candidacy last
week, but I have been labouring on an ancient laptop since my desk unit
was taken ill, and the ether must have consumed it.

When Gaius Fabius Buteo Modianus was a Plebeian, I had the priviledge
of working with him as Tribune. I found Gaius Fabius Buteo Modianus a
most thoughtful, pious and ethical individual. He faced difficult
issues squarely and never allowed passion to prevent him from doing
what he knew was the right course of action.

I have the highest admiration for Gaius Fabius Buteo Modianus and am
convinced he will serve Nova Roma to the very best of his abilities.

Salvete omnes,

I am pleased to see that Gaius Vipsanius Agrippa is running for
Tribune this year. He has been a very dedicated citizen to Nova Roma
and served in the office of Quaetor before.

He is currently Procurator in our province of Canada Occidentalis.
Gaius has been terrific help here builfing up our websites and
keeping on top of all the issues and glitches. He is very reliable
and accopmlishes every goal he sets out to achieve, his last setting
up a NR themed store and becoming a member of the Equestrian order.
Another thing is that I know him in person and would trust him with
any task or financial dealings. On a number of occasions he put
money out of his own pocket to help our province expand our
websites. Presently he is back at university building a contact base
there and shall be helping with the "Go Roman" project. He is always
easy to contact and gets back to you quickly.

Based on his interest, dedication, reliability and accopmlishments,
I urge all citizens to support Agrippa's bid for the office of
Tribune; I can guarentee we will not be sorry!

Regards,

Quintus Suetonius Paulinus

Propraetor Canada Occidentalis

Quaestor

Salvete omnes,

It is good and fortunate that this prominent citizen has decided to
bid for the office of Tribune. His experience in NR is second to none
and I served under him as Accensus in his Consulship through 2004.

Not only has he served in his political offices but he has never been
afraid to take a lot of tasks on his plate behind the scenes including
duties in his Hispania province and the Thules Academy.

Lets not overlook Gnaeus Salvius Astur. It shall be a great benefit
for all of us to see him as Tribune for 2006!

Regards,

Quintus Suetonius Paulinus

C. Minucius Hadrianus Felix Quiritibus S.P.D.

Salvete!

I've come up with a basic (English) bookplate design based on the
original by Tiberius Galerius Paulinus. It is designed to be printed on
a 3.5" wide x 5" tall adhesive label. In North America it would be the
Avery® 5168 label sheet (4 per sheet). This is a good size that will fit
most books, and uses a standard, easily available label sheet. If any
citizens would like to come up with versions in their local languages
and using a local label format that would be fantastic. Any suggestions
to the design would also be appreciated as this is just a draft.
Eventually I'd like to have a few different versions (and sizes) to give
the person donating the book some choice.

The bookplate can be found in the files section of the Nova Roma Yahoo
Groups website in the NR Book Donation Project folder. I have uploaded
two versions: one in rich text format (*.rtf) and one in MS Works format
(*.wps).

I am pleased to see that Gaius Vipsanius Agrippa is running for

He is currently Procurator in our province of Canada Occidentalis.
Gaius has been terrific help here builfing up our websites and
keeping on top of all the issues and glitches. He is very reliable
and accopmlishes every goal he sets out to achieve, his last setting
up a NR themed store and becoming a member of the Equestrian order.
Another thing is that I know him in person and would trust him with
any task or financial dealings. On a number of occasions he put
money out of his own pocket to help our province expand our
websites. Presently he is back at university building a contact base
there and shall be helping with the "Go Roman" project. He is always
easy to contact and gets back to you quickly.

Based on his interest, dedication, reliability and accopmlishments,
I urge all citizens to support Agrippa's bid for the office of
Tribune; I can guarentee we will not be sorry!

Salvete Omnes,

As Aedilician Quaestor, I worked with Quaestor Paulinus and I can say
that our dealings were excellent: Paulinus is a trustworthy man,
serious and consciencious in his public office. I wish him good luck
in his projects to bring Nova-Roma more closer to the ancient Roman Ideal.

Valete,

Aedilician Quaestor

Salvete Omnes,

I am anxious to see that there is no cadidate for the office of
Magister Aranearius, a very significant office for an Internet
community like ours. Besides, I would find normal that there are for
this office both a holder and a substitute: because if we had the
chance to have up to now very qualified men at this office, it already
happened that those had to leave their functions earlier than
envisaged. And Nova-Roma is a too significant community today to be
at the mercy of such incidents.

Valete,

Lucius Rutilius Minervalis

Hmm... the only way I can get that to work is by

Gaius Vipsanius Agrippa is another citizen with whom first I sparred,
then began to work with, on the creation of a new coin. In the course
of that work (almost finished)--- almost a year --- I have come to
greatly respect him as a hard-working and dedicated citizen. Once
again, it is a matter more of getting work done than agreeing with
everything someone says. I'm sure that in the future Vipsanius
Agrippa & I will disagree again --- and I very strongly support his
bid for the tribunate :-)

Valete bene,

Cato

I can only agree, fervently.

Quirites, I have volunteered to temporarily accept this post because
Nova Roma desperately needed a webmaster. My current personal and
business obligations are such that I cannot, in good conscience, carry
out the duties of this position after the end of the year - it's just
not possible. Unless someone comes forward, Nova Roma will have no
webmaster after these elections.

I can assure you, with full knowledge, that this would spell the end of
Nova Roma as it is in fairly short order. Without a webmaster, there are
no elections, there's no means of fixing a large class of database
errors, there's no way to implement any of the laws that affect how the
citizen data is collected or processed, there's no means of adding any
laws to the Tabularium - all or most of the business of Nova Roma either
comes to a grinding halt or barely limps along in those cases where the
necessary action can be put off.

I also fully agree that there must be a minimum of _two_ people involved
in this job. Without that, there's no backup if something happens to the
webmaster, and there's no "carrying forward" of the accumulated
knowledge. This means that the new webmaster has to re-learn everything
that the old one spent time learning, which is a waste and an
unnecessary workload. I would further suggest that the terms of these
offices should be staggered, if possible - i.e., a senior webmaster
should be elected at this time, and an apprentice webmaster (i.e.,
someone who doesn't have the skills but would like to learn them)
elected six months later... or some variation of this.

Salvete omnes!

Hodie est ante diem IV Kalendas Decembris; haec dies comitialis est.

"Some authorities state that this war was managed by the consuls and
it was they who celebrated the triumph over the Samnites, and further
that Fabius invaded Apulia and brought away great quantities of spoil.
There is no discrepancy as to A. Cornelius having been Dictator that
year, the only doubt is whether he was appointed to conduct the war,
or whether, owing to the serious illness of L. Plautius, the praetor,
he was appointed to give the signal for starting the chariot races,
and after discharging this not very noteworthy function resigned
office. It is difficult to decide which account or which authority to
prefer. I believe that the true history has been falsified by funeral
orations and lying inscriptions on the family busts, since each family
appropriates to itself an imaginary record of noble deeds and official
distinctions. It is at all events owing to this cause that so much
confusion has been introduced into the records of private careers and
public events. There is no writer of those times now extant who was
contemporary with the events he relates and whose authority,
therefore, can be depended upon." - Livy, History of Rome 8.40



"I am the goddess Sekhmet, and I take my seat upon the place by the
side of Amt-ur the great wind of heaven." - Book of the Dead, "The
Chapter of The Mouth"

"May the goddess Sekhmet raise me, and lift me up. Let me ascend into
heaven, let that which I command be performed in Het-ka-Ptah. I know
how to use my heart. I am master of my heart-case. I am master of my
hands and arms. I am master of my legs. I have the power to do that
which my KA desireth to do. My Heart-soul shall not be kept a prisoner
in my body at the gates of Amentet when I would go in in peace and
come forth in peace." - Book of the Dead, "The Chapter of Giving a
Heart to Osiris"

In ancient Egypt, today was held in honor of the goddess Sekhmet. The
ancient Egyptian goddess Sekhmet is known as the Eye of Ra. She is the
power that protects the good and annihilates the wicked. Sekhmet is
the wrathful form of Hathor (goddess of joy, music, dance, sexual
love, pregnancy and birth). With leonine head, female human body and
the strength of her father, she is the noontime sun --- intense
blinding heat.

To the Old Kingdom Egyptians, Nu was the divine father of the
primordal waters from whence Ra, the sun, came forth. Ra gave birth to
Shu, god of the wind, and Tefnut who was called "the spitter" because
she sent the rain. Together Shu and Tefnut were the Twins of our
heavenly constellations. Tefnut and Sekhmet both have human female
form with a head of the lion and both are recorded as daughters of Ra
by the Egyptians. Sekhmet is perhaps a later manifestation of Tefnut,
but in any event they are one and the same.

Sekhmet, goddess Hathor, is the daughter he plucked from his head and
sent out into the universe to avenge his anger. Nu spoke, "Let thine
Eye go forth against those who are rebels in the kingdom." Then the
gods spoke together, "Let thine eye go forth against these rebels.
When It cometh down from heaven, no human eye can be raised against
it." Sekhmet/Hathor, in the form of a lioness, hurled herself upon
the men who had rebelled against Ra. She attacked them with such fury
that the sun god feared she might exterminate the entire human race
and begged her to stop the carnage. She had no ears to hear it. So Ra
spilled 7,000 jugs containing a magic potion composed of beer and
pomegranate juice in her path. Sekhmet, mistook the red liquid for
human blood, lapped it up and become too drunk to continue the slaughter.

On the feast day of Sekhmet as many jugs of reddened beer were offered
as there were priestesses of the sun.

Valete bene!

I am not a an IT professional. However, I do manage my own website: www.northerncrane.net It is not all that sophisticated a website:-) I created it and manage it with FrontPage (2000). I learned how to do it solo - by trial and error. If this experience is enough to at least become the "junior" webmaster and "learn the ropes" and eventually become the webmaster I guess you found your man. If you'll have me.

I come to you today to ask for your support and vote for Tiberius Galerius Paulinus for the office of Praetor.

This gentleman has proven to me that, like myself, he speaks from the heart and does not mince words. Not your typical "politician". If he tells us something is as it is, we can take it to the "bank". He is as honest as they come. He can only be an asset to our community in the office of Praetor.

Titus Flavius Vespasianus S. P. D.
I hereby announce my candidacy for the office of Quaestor.

I hve been a part of Nova Roma for over 2 years now, and am a tax-
paying citizen. Although this is my first official foray into Nova
Roman politics, I bring to this platform a plethora of experience.
I am outside manager of an orchard in Lacus Magni, and have been
with this business for nearly thirteen years. I have overseen and
directed the activities of a group of workers, even through my High
School years.
I perform closing account duties as well.

I am revealing all this to show that I hope to put forth the same
effort and dedication if elected as Quaestor. I am 21 years of age,
and although that sounds young, my business experience reveals that
my employers see that I am capable of assuming leadership roles.

As to my involvement in Nova Roma, I am currently trying to become
involved in the provincial government of Lacus Magni, and hope
ultimately to act as provencial sacerdos. I support the six-point
platform of the Libra Alliance wholeheartedly, and hope to advance
it as my role within Nova Roma grows.

I look forward to being your Quaestor!

Valete!

Salvete Citizens Of Nova Roma,

I am coming forward to announce my intention to run for Tribune of
The Plebians.

My name is Quintus Suetonius Paulinus (formally Lanius). I have been
a citizen of Nova Roma since July, 2002. In the macro world I work
as a geological consultant in the oil industry and with my wife am
involved in the executive of The Mexican Cultural Association Of as
a vocal who scrutinizes and criticizes if necessary, any new bi-
laws, projects or funding brought on by the executive.

In Res Publica I have served as scribe to Africa Septentrionalis
project, Legate to Canada Occidentalis, Accensus to Consul Astur
and am serving since 2004 as Propraetor Of Canada Occidentalis and
Quaestor for 2005. I keep active all the time on our lists and never
allow myself to get out of touch with what is going on.

Educational wise I have taken various courses in Thules Academy
covering Roman History, Nova Roman history, philosophy and Latin and
I am also studying Latin in Flavia Scholastica's course where I
intend to remain and come become proficient in Rome's mother tongue
as time goes on.

I certainly appreciate the duties and importance of this office of

at this point in time. What concerns many of us are issues such as
the lack of interest, participation on all levels of government and
activities, low morale, indifference and poor financial
contributions to Nova Roma with only 20% of our population
contributing to the treasury. It looks like history might repeat
itself this year with respect to a low candidate turn out for some
of our political offices.

One thing I clearly see is that some of our older and more prominent
citizens have more or less returned to the shadows. At the route of
this problem seems to be the issue of the importance of the Roman
religion. I realize that NR would not even be here if it had not
been for the religio. I have taken the oath to protect it in the
past and realize something has to be done in order to bridge any
gaps between practitioners and none practitioners.
It sounds to me like there are plans in the works for changes to our
constitution and I wish to be on top of such situations. I have
friends throughout NR that are both practitioners and non-
practitioners.

Here in NR I am always available and with our great technology I can
now keep in touch and on top of things even from the field. I will
guarantee that the power to veto legislation not be taken lightly
or the concerns of a citizen needing our help delayed or pushed to
the back burner. I do not jump into any great situation or crisis
without giving an ear to those concerned or take any action without
carefully consulting and considering the advice of my colleagues.

Citizens, your consideration of my bid to be a Tribune Of The
Plebians is greatly appreciated. Whatever the people of Nova Roma
decide, you can always be sure of my continuing help, dedication and
service to help in building our republic.

Respectfully,

Quintus Suetonius Paulinus

There remains only the small matter of convincing the Senate to create
the position. :) I, personally, would be highly gratified if they
managed it before these elections begin... but I don't know if that's
possible, given the way our system works. Perhaps an edict is necessary?

Since I have previously (and recently) communicated my strong belief in

see movement in this direction in the very near future.

Salvete onmes,

Although I am from a Patrician gens (by adoption) and cannot vote for the office of Tribune of the Plebians, I wholeheartedly endorse this candidate for the position. Other than Cato, few citizens are as active in our republic than Quintus Suetonius Paulinus. Even his changing of gens name started one of the most intriguing discussions on the ML list. Who can forget the Pilate and Jesus debates? :-)

Subject: [Nova-Roma] Tribune Of The Plebians - Quintus Suetonius Paulinus


Salvete Citizens Of Nova Roma,

I am coming forward to announce my intention to run for Tribune of
The Plebians.

My name is Quintus Suetonius Paulinus (formally Lanius). I have been
a citizen of Nova Roma since July, 2002. In the macro world I work
as a geological consultant in the oil industry and with my wife am
involved in the executive of The Mexican Cultural Association Of as
a vocal who scrutinizes and criticizes if necessary, any new bi-
laws, projects or funding brought on by the executive.

In Res Publica I have served as scribe to Africa Septentrionalis
project, Legate to Canada Occidentalis, Accensus to Consul Astur
and am serving since 2004 as Propraetor Of Canada Occidentalis and
Quaestor for 2005. I keep active all the time on our lists and never
allow myself to get out of touch with what is going on.

Educational wise I have taken various courses in Thules Academy
covering Roman History, Nova Roman history, philosophy and Latin and
I am also studying Latin in Flavia Scholastica's course where I
intend to remain and come become proficient in Rome's mother tongue
as time goes on.

I certainly appreciate the duties and importance of this office of
Tribune where the rights and concerns of the Plebians are to be
protected. Nova Roma needs to re-group, build herself and flourish
at this point in time. What concerns many of us are issues such as
the lack of interest, participation on all levels of government and
activities, low morale, indifference and poor financial
contributions to Nova Roma with only 20% of our population
contributing to the treasury. It looks like history might repeat
itself this year with respect to a low candidate turn out for some

A. Apollonius omnibus sal.

Quirites, you're probably getting bored with
candidates by now, so I shan't keep you long.

I have been a Roman citizen for three years. I have
served as accensus to two consules, K. Fabius Buteo
Quintilianus and C. Popillius Laenas, and as scriba to
a praetor, Cn. Salvius Astur. I was rogator last year
along with Flavius Galerius Aurelianus, C. Minucius
Hadrianus, and Stephanus Ullerius Venator. I have been
a member of the provincial government of Britannia for
two and a half years under two successive governors,
D. Junius Silanus and C. Livia. I am a member of the
staff of the Academia Thules and have taught a course
there on Roman republican law. Apart from carrying out
my duties in our republic I formerly studied ancient
history, gaining a degree in that subject from Oxford
University, and I am now studying to become a
barrister.

I ask you to vote for me to be quaestor. Thank you for listening.

Salve A. Apolloni Corde,

LOL, I do not think we bored yet! Not all the vacancies are filled
with four days left to register so by then I hope we are bored to
the teeth.

Your great work, dedication and knowledge of Rome and Nova Roma are
unquestionable. You certainly have my vote and I urge all fellow
citizens to do the same and vote you in as quaestor!

Regads,

Quintus Suetonius Paulinus

Since I'm now a candidate, I had better reply to the
points you offered to candidates. They were:

> CASES.
> A good many months of 2758 auc were torn up around a

Of course even if I'm elected quaestor I shan't be in
a position to do anything about this, because it's not
an office with the power to propose legislation. But
it's possible that I'd end up as quaestor to a
legislative magistrate who might ask my opinion, and
here it is.

You're absolutely right that we had a problem this
year of the tribunes acting as judges of the
correctness of their own actions. "Nemo judex in causa
sua" ("Let no one be the judge of his own case") is a
fundamental maxim of modern law. I don't know whether
the phrase itself is Roman in origin, but the
principle was certainly known to the Romans. But I
think the real nature of the problem here is not that
the tribunes were acting as judges in their own case -
the real problem is that they were acting as judges at
all.

The tribunes of the ancient republic did not act as a
court and had neither the duty nor the power to make
rulings on matters of law. But this is precisely what
our tribunes this year have been doing. They
themselves are not to blame for this: they believe
(not unreasonably) that lex constitutiva itself
reqires them to do so. But this year's events have
shown that it is not a workable system. I think the
obvious solution is to change the lex constitutiva and
release the tribunes from their unhistorical role as a
sort of constitutional court. They are simply not
equipped to perform this role: they should be restored
to their historical role as protectors of the people
against the higher magistrates. For this reason I'm
very pleased to see Cn. Salvius running for tribune
with a promise to begin a debate on these issues.

You later clarified:

I think this clarification is important, because we
simply can't insert things into the declaratio. It's
not a legal text which can be amended in retrospect -
it's a historical document which said what it said at
the time when it said it, and as much as we may wish
it had said other things as well (or even in stead),
we must accept it as it is.

On your more general point, again this isn't something
I'd have a direct influence on, but I think it's
entirely reasonable to say on the website that the
republic doesn't condone cruelty to animals. I don't
personally see any religious problem with this, since
Roman sacrifice doesn't involve any cruelty, but of
course that's a matter for the pontifices to decide.

Salve Marcus Flavius Fides,

Please excuse me for not introducing myself properly.

I was present in Nova Roma four years ago. Back then, I was very
active. I designed and maintained four NR related web sites and
redesigned portions of the main NR web site. I also held some offices
etc. However, due to some circumstances in 2755 a.u.c. which I will
not get into here, I decided to retire for the good of the republic
and myself.

I reside in the province of Canada Orientalis and like all of you love
ancient Rome and all things related. I am a student studying ancient
history in the evenings and medical science during the day. This
morning I just finished reading Marcus Aurelius' Meditations which I
found quite inspiring.

That's all I can come up with at the moment. I hope this helps answer
your question.

A. Apollonius candidatis omnibusque sal.

Well, from the number of endorsements flying about
(thank you for yours, Q. Svetoni!) it looks like a lot
of people have already made up their minds how to
vote, but for the benefit of those who haven't I hope
some of the candidates will share their thoughts on
some of these questions.

First, a question for the candidates for consul:
you've both explained what you would like to promote
and encourage within Nova Roma, but could you explain
why you feel you need to be consul in order to do this
and what you hope to do which you will not be able to
do if you are not elected?

For the candidates for praetor: what is your attitude
to our judicial system? Should it be changed? Do we
need it at all? What will be your attitude to acting
as one of the magistrates in charge of the
administration of justice?

For the candidates for tribune: what do you think is
the principal function of the tribunes in our
republic? Do you think it should be changed?

For the candidates for aedile (both curule and
plebeian): what do you think our ludi should have more
of (if anything)?

And finally, for all candidates, my favourite
question: are you now or have you ever been a member
of any political party, alliance, faction, or other
group with political goals within our replublic?

There, that ought to do for starters. :)

Oh, that part of it is fun, as well as educational. It's getting all the
paperwork straight before it can be done that's the big hang-up at the
moment. :)

I had forgotten to mention it - thank you for volunteering.
