SENATOR'S COMMENTS:

Emilia Curia Finnica: I know this citizen and cordially welcome her appointment.

Gnaeus Equitius Marinus:  Flavia Tullia has done exceptional work as my Scriba
Latinitas over the past two years. The Republic will benefit from
having her in this capacity.

Gnaeus Salvius Astur:Flavia Tullia is more than capable to do the work,
and she has practically done it in the past. I thank her for offering her skills
to the service of Nova Roma.

Quintus Fabius Maximus: Though I question word "Official". Does this mean
any translations by myself, Iulius, Gryllus, or Equitius are unofficial?

Lucius Arminius Faustus: I have much joy on this appointment.

Caeso Fabius Buteo Quintilianus: Flavia Tullia will be a good Interpreter and I am
happy to vote for her.

Julilla Sempronia Magna: Flavia Tullia is a dedicated Latinist, with the
advanced education needed for this very responsible task.

Item #4 Approvation of the "Go Roman!" project by Sodalitas Egressus

SENATOR'S COMMENTS:

Franciscus Apulus Caesar: I fully support this project, I think it is an excellent
plan to promote NR in the academical and cultural fields. As Consul
and professional art director, I'll give my complete assistance and
help to the Sodalitas Egressus for the accomplishment of the Go Roman!

Gnaeus Equitius Marinus: This is an impressive proposal. My congratulations
to Senator Audens, to Gn. Iulius Caesar for his work in putting the
proposal together, and to all of the Sodalitas Egressus for an excellent program.

Gnaeus Salvius Astur: With my best wishes to the consul and to senator
Audens. Please remember that we all are here to help you to recruit more citizens

Caeso Fabius Buteo Quintilianus: I am happy to vote for this very important project.
Congratulations to Marcus Audens and Gnaeus Caesar

Julilla Sempronia Magna: I have read the documents several times and
followed its development with great interest. I find "GO Roman" to be a
commendable project, one which will, I believe, be a valuable tool
for provincial governors.

Gaius Marius Merullus: I have nothing against the content of this proposal.
It is along the lines of the original purpose of the sodalitas egressus. I do not
understand why the Senate has to endorse it.

Item #5  Marcus Vitellius Ligus to be appointed governor (Propraetor)

SENATOR'S COMMENTS:

Franciscus Apulus Caesar:  I don't know him directly.

G. Popillius Laenas: Marcus Vitellius has served as my Legate in America
Austrorientalis for some time. He is active in re-enactment Legions
and, therefore, is in a good position to promote real world meetings.
He has my full support and I ask the Senate to approve him as my
successor.

Gnaeus Equitius Marinus: America Austrorientalis needs an able and active
governor. It will help to have one of the current governor's assistants carry onthis duty.

Marcus Minucius-Tiberius Audens:  I have no personal knowledge of this candidate's
adminstrative ability or suitability for the position requested

Julilla Sempronia Magna: I regret that I have insufficient knowledge on the
background and qualifications of this individual.

Appius Tullius Marcellus Cato:  I do not know enough about this
gentleman. He may very well be up to the job, but I would wish to
know more about his abilities.

SENATOR'S COMMENTS:

Franciscus Apulus Caesar:  I don't know him directly.

G. Popillius Laenas: Q. Caecilius has served the Republic in a number of
positions including as my Praetorian scribe and currently as a
Diribitor. He has my full support.

Gnaeus Equitius Marinus: As someone who is also studying Latin, like
Postumianus is doing, I know that it is not easy to translate a complex and long text,
written in a vernacular language by someone who does not speak Latin at all,
into proper Latin. I thank Postumianus for his willingness to help
Nova Roma, but I am afraid that he is not ready to take this
responsability yet. I wish him good luck with his Latin, and I hope
that he will not take this personally.

Marcus Arminius Maior: I respect the dedication of Q.Caecilius to Nova
Roma, but i think that we need to have only one official interpreter
for each language, and I voted for Flavia Tullia, in the item #3 above.

Manius Constantinus Serapio:  I am fully aware of Q Caecilius' dedication, but I
think he does not fit the requirements for this position, a position which is
very important for Nova Roma. I don't want him to take this
personally. If I just wanted to vote against him as an individual I
could have done it without taking care of inquiring about his skills
in this field.

Quintus Fabius Maximus: Though again the same question?

Marcus Minucius-Tiberius Audens: I have no personal knowledge of this citizens'
talent with Latin.

Decius Iunius Palladius Invictus: There can be more than one translator, therefore
I vote to approve Metellus's request. He will continue to improve,
especially working alongside Scholastica.

Julilla Sempronia Magna: Translation from one language to another is a great
challenge—one that I would not presume to take on myself after six
years of French and immersion in German for a year. I hope that Quintus
Caecilius Metellus Postumianus Pius will continue with his Latin
studies, for he sets us all a good example, and at some future date I expect that
he'll be well qualified to take on this role.
