Annum novum faustum felicem

"Victoria Divina, custos et domina rei secundae nostrae, perinde ac legiones patrum nostrorum duxisti ut tellurem antiquam in Romanitatem adducerent, duce nos ut etiam amplius beneficia Romanitatis vulgemus. Ut recte nos in deliberationibus nostris regas et in amplexum sacrum tuum hos conscriptos patresque Novae Romae comprehendas te oro. Ut cum Salute et Concordia certamina nostra sanes, in mente communi nos consocies, et re secunda victrici dignitatem huius Senatus augeas te oro

[Holy Victory, guardian and lady of our success, even as you led the legions of the forefathers to bring Romanitas to the ancient world, lead us that we may spread the benefits of Romanitas yet further. I beseech you that you rightly guide us in our deliberations and take into your holy embrace these conscripts and fathers of Nova Roma. I beseech you that with Salus and Concordia you heal our conflicts, unite us in a common purpose, and with victorious success increase the dignitas of this Senate]."

"Victoria Divina, te hoc vino inferio ommovendo bonas preces precor, uti sies volens propitia mihi et Senatui Novae Romae

[Holy Victory, in offering humble wine to you I pray good prayers, so that you may be willingly propitious to me and the Senate of Nova Roma]."

I pour a libation to Victoria.

Victoria Divina, te hoc vino inferio ommovendo bonas preces precor, uti sies volens propitia nobis, Senatui populi Novae Romae, Quiritibus.

Holy Victory, in offering to You this small portion of wine I pray good prayers, in order that You may willingly be propitious to us the Senate of the people of Nova Roma, the Quirites.

"Victoria Divina, si quidquam tibi in hac caerimonia displicet, hoc vino inferio veniam peto et vitium meum expio

[Holy Victory, if anything in this ceremony is displeasing to you, with this humble wine I ask forgiveness and expiate my fault.]"

Ex hoc ego Senatum populi Novae Romae convoco

I hereby declare the Senate of the Republic of Nova Roma convened.


M·CVR·COMPLVTENSIS Consul
