Edictum concerning the posting of Edicta

Last year after reviewing the policies of the previous Magister Aranearius as well as the content of the Edicta section of the Nova Roma website I determined that Edicta purely of the nature to appoint Apparitores and those only having force within a specific Province of Nova Roma made up a large percentage of the inactive Edicta posted to the website.

In my capacity as Magister Aranearius I, Quintus Cassius Calvus, do issue the following instructions:

I. Edicta issued merely to appoint Apparitores as prescribe in the Constitution of Nova Roma, with the exception of Lictors to the Comitia Curiata and other priesthood appointments, shall not be published in the Tabularium except by special request of the issuing magistrate. The appointment of Lictors to the Comitia Curiata and other priesthood appointments being in the care of the The Collegium Pontificum, all such Decreta shall be published in the Tabularium in the Priestly Decreta section thereof.

II. Edicta issued by proconsul and propraetors for the governance of their respective provinces shall not be published in the Tabularium except by special request of the issuing Magistrate.

III. It is the responsiblity of the issuing magistrate to notify the Magister Aranearius and in the case of appointments of Apparitores the Censors with the full text of edicta to be included in the Tabularium.
