Salvete, quirites.
This is my fourth time before you in the toga candida. The two first
times you elected me to serve you as quaestor and curator araneum,
respectively. The third time I backed out of the running as other duties
made me realise I would not be able to devote enough time to Nova Roma.
However, now I am in a position to offer myself to you as a Curule
Aedile, to serve the people and the gods of Nova Roma. I ask of you to
approve of me for this and give me yet another chance to work for the
res publica.
By profession I am a computer scientist, though my studies have been
expanded with, among other things, latin. I have in Nova Roma worked not
only as an independent magistrate, but also as a consular accensus,
curatorial scriba and provincial scriba, legate and sacerdos.
As some of you may know, I am a member of the Libra Alliance. This is
not a political party, so I will not be following a "party line" as
a
magistrate, only my own conscience. However, I will adhere to our stated
platform whenever I'm in doubt.

I have not prepared a website for my candidacy, nor will I. If you want
to know more about me, I instead direct you to either my homepage or my
Album Civium entry:

Neither says very much about me, I guess, so if you want to know more,
feel free to drop me a line. I'll answer as soon as I can.
Valete, Titus Octavius Pius Ahenobarbus.
