{{Template:LanguageBar|Classification of magistracies (Nova Roma)}}

[[Magistracies (Nova Roma)|Magistracies]] are the executive offices of [[Nova Roma]]. Nova Roman magistracies can be classified in several ways.

==Ordinary and extraordinary magistracies==

The '''ordinary magistracies''' (''magistratus ordinarii'') are those which are filled every year by regular elections. They are the:

*[[Consul (Nova Roma)|Consulatus]]
*[[Praetor (Nova Roma)|Praetura]]
*[[Aedilis Curulis (Nova Roma)|Aedilitas Curulis]]
*[[Aedilis Plebis (Nova Roma)|Aedilitas Plebis]]
*[[Quaestor (Nova Roma)|Quaestura]]
*[[Vigintisexviri (Nova Roma)|Vigintisexviratus]]

Although the [[Tribunus Plebis (Nova Roma)|Tribunatus Plebis]] is not technically classified as a magistracy, in practice it is one of the ordinary magistracies.

Though the [[Censor (Nova Roma)|Censura]] is considered an ordinary magistracy, it was filled only in every five years (in some cases not even then), and their term of office lasted 18 months, therefore it is between the ordinany and the extraordinary magistracies.

The '''extraordinary magistracies''' (''magistratus extraordinarii'') are those which are filled only when they are needed. They are the:

*[[Dictator (Nova Roma)|Dictatura]]
*[[Interrex (Nova Roma)|Interregnum]]

==Higher and lower magistracies==

The '''higher magistracies''' (''magistratus maiores'') are those which are most senior in rank. They are elected by the highest of the popular assemblies, the [[Comitia centuriata (Nova Roma)|comitia centuriata]]. The higher magistracies, in decreasing order of ''[[potestas]]'', are the:

*[[Consul (Nova Roma)|Consulatus]]
*[[Praetor (Nova Roma)|Praetura]]
*[[Censor (Nova Roma)|Censura]]

The higher magistracies can also be classified after the degree of ''[[auctoritas]]'' they have. {{:Auctoritas}} The higher magistracies, in decreasing order of ''auctoritas'', are the:

*[[Censor (Nova Roma)|Censura]]
*[[Consul (Nova Roma)|Consulatus]]
*[[Praetor (Nova Roma)|Praetura]]

The rest are '''lower magistracies''' (''magistratus minores''):

*[[Aedilis Curulis (Nova Roma)|Aedilitas Curulis]]
*[[Aedilis Plebis (Nova Roma)|Aedilitas Plebis]]
*[[Quaestor (Nova Roma)|Quaestura]]
*[[Vigintisexviri (Nova Roma)|Vigintisexviratus]]

The [[Tribunus Plebis (Nova Roma)|Tribunatus Plebis]] is not technically classified as a magistracy, and it would not be correct to regard it as either a higher or a lower magistracy.

The extraordinary magistracies are not classified as either higher or lower magistracies.

==Magistracies with and without imperium==

''[[Imperium]]'' is the highest form of executive power in the republic. The '''''magistratus cum imperio''''', those magistracies which carry not only ''potestas'' but also ''imperium'', in decreasing order of ''imperium'', are the:

*[[Consul (Nova Roma)|Consulatus]]
*[[Praetor (Nova Roma)|Praetura]]

The [[Dictator (Nova Roma)|Dictator]] has an extraordinary ''imperium'' which exceeds the power of any of the ordinary magistrates, and could never be held legally responsible for any action during his time in office for any reason.

The power of the [[Interrex (Nova Roma)|Interrex]] is hard to classify. Logically it ought to be ''imperium'', because the constitutional duty of the Interrex is to preside over the election of the ''Consules'', and this requires the convention of the ''Comitia Centuriata'': only a magistrate with ''imperium'' can convene the ''Comitia Centuriata''. However, strong custom prevents the Interrex from exercising the full range of ''imperium''.

'''Magistracies without ''imperium''''' mostly have the lesser power of ''[[potestas]]'':

*[[Censor (Nova Roma)|Censura]]
*[[Aedilis Curulis (Nova Roma)|Aedilitas Curulis]]
*[[Aedilis Plebis (Nova Roma)|Aedilitas Plebis]]
*[[Quaestor (Nova Roma)|Quaestura]]
*[[Vigintisexviri (Nova Roma)|Vigintisexviratus]]

The [[Tribunus Plebis (Nova Roma)|Tribuni Plebis]] have neither ''imperium'' nor ''potestas'' but the special power of ''[[tribunicia potestas]]''.

==Curule and non-curule magistracies==

The '''curule magistracies''' (''magistratus curules'') are those whose holders are entitled by virtue of their office to sit on the curule chair (Latin ''sella curulis''), to wear the [[toga|''toga praetexta'']] and being proceeded by [[lictor|''lictores'']] and whose descendants are regarded as [[Nobilis (Nova Roma)|''nobiles'']]. They are the:

*[[Dictator (Nova Roma)|Dictatura]]
*[[Interrex (Nova Roma)|Interregnum]]
*[[Censor (Nova Roma)|Censura]]
*[[Consul (Nova Roma)|Consulatus]]
*[[Praetor (Nova Roma)|Praetura]]
*[[Aedilis Curulis (Nova Roma)|Aedilitas Curulis]]

The '''non-curule magistrates''' are the:

*[[Aedilis Plebis (Nova Roma)|Aedilitas Plebis]]
*[[Quaestor (Nova Roma)|Quaestura]]
*[[Vigintisexviri (Nova Roma)|Vigintisexviratus]]

The [[Tribunus Plebis (Nova Roma)|Tribunatus Plebis]], not technically a magistracy at all, is not a curule office.
