FRANCISCVS APVLVS CAESAR NOVAE ROMAE CIVIS S.P.D.

Cives, I am here to officially present my candidacy for the office of Consul
Novae Romae.

Please, cives, vote for me as Consul.

Vote for a new face for Nova Roma.

I have been a citizen of Nova Roma since 1999 and I live in Provincia Italia, in
Barium, which is an ancient Roman municipium in southern Italy. I am 27 years
old and I am an art director for different societies. I am co-founder of one of
them. Here I am a specialist of public communication, creation and organization
of projects for the citizens and the youth. I also deal with public utilities
and an info desk about the EU's programs.

Within Nova Roma I held a number of offices which have provided me with the
skills needed to be a good Consul.
I have been Propraetor of Provincia Italia for two years with excellent results,
increasing the number of cives and the activities in this area. I started my
Cursus Honorum from the first step, that of Quaestor, serving former Curule
Aedile Caeso Fabius Quintilianus. During my service I created the Magna Mater
project, I supported the diffusion of the current Ludi Circenses and organized
the "modern" Nova Roman Ludi.
Last year I served as Curule Aedile, getting ahead with the Magna Mater
project, setting rules for business in Nova Roma and creating the Aedilician
Fund for special live projects. During the current year I have held the office
of Tribunus Plebis serving the plebeians and the Res Publica to the best of my
abilities and always keeping the balance and moderation described by Polybius.
During the past years I have also been serving Nova Roma as Legatus and Scriba
of a number of magistrates.

Why should you elect me Consul?

Because I think Nova Roma must grow as much as possible as an educational
experience, a religious and cultural community, and an organization. I have a
lot of ideas about the future of our organization, such as long-time projects,
new activities allowing us to get a "new face", to become a world organization,
one of the most important cultural sources about Roma Antiqua.

I know that if I will be elected I will be busy with the daily activities this
office requires. However I will try to reach some greater goal.

For example I would check any possibility as to registering Nova Roma Inc. in
Europe and to have it taking part to the European Union's programs. We could
have more chances if we support the creation of local cultural Nova Roman
associations in the largest Provinciae. In this way Nova Roma could start being
a network of organizations with the opportunity to takepart in national and
continental financed activities.
It is quite clear for everybody that the hearth of Nova Roma is the work of our
Provinciae. I am seeing the wonderful projects of Provincia Hispania, Provincia
Italia, Mediatlantica, Britannia, etc. Their daily job is the most important
activity of our Res Publica and every provincial administration should be able
to contact close administrators, public institutions and new cives to create new
projects and activities. I think that more jobs means more activity, and more
activity means more citizens and a better health of Nova Roma. So we must
increase and support the work of our Provinciae as much as possible.
In this direction, we should use a larger part of our budget to finance local
activities and provincial meetings.

The Magna Mater Project gave us the opportunity to test our abilities in big
live cultural projects. It allowed us to contact the most important public
archaeological institutions about Ancient Roma. In my opinion other real
projects in different fields could help us to present ourselves to local
authorities and to receive more and more credits.

But each goal means a growth of Nova Roma in each sector.
Therefore first of all we could start by changing our image and presenting a new
identity. A new cultural and informative website, new multimedia features,
revised advertising materials and most importantly a new mind in each of us.
With this new public appearance, we must start start to change the topics of our
discussions, open our cultural horizons and start to study and talk about Roma
Antiqua while avoiding boring political fights, hurting insults and harsh tones
to the best of our abilities. This means changing the rules, stronger attention
toward a civil and equilibrated Nova Roman life, etc.

But I'm not lokking for a long future, I look the past and I would continue the
excellent job done by our Consul Gnaeus Equitius Marinus. So I woul finish his
job revisioning the Costitution with few but great reforms.

If you will elect me I will strongly try to do it to give you a better place at
the end of my mandate.

I will soon publish my personal website to inform you on what I think about the
growth of Nova Roma.

Thank you for your attenction!
