The space provides a secluded partition to observe the sky. Under extant guidance from Cn. Corenlius Lentulus, pontifex, sacrifices and prayers were made to Iuppiter Optimus Maximus.

First, section II.C., &quot;External Engagement&quot;: it seems fine to me if a subsidiary group own by Nova Roma does not have as close a focus on reconstructing exact Roman organizational structures as does our organization itself, especially if it furthers other aspects of our goals and is designed for non-Nova Romans to easily understand who does what. What we should absolutely avoid is a situation in which people interacting with our group or a subsidiary thereof do not understand that they are interacting with us or misunderstand the nature/goals of our organization (at least if they care). While surely no subterfuge is intended here, we should be maximally transparent so that no one who joins forces with us or contributes money to a project we sponsor later has cause to feel misinformed. I don't think that anything in the Mandatum Consilii requires we be less than fully transparent (hence why I am still voting for it), but I am raising the issue so we keep in mind e.g. if new social media accounts are created, they should clearly state somewhere visible that they are affiliated with us. Second, section V.D.iii.(1) has the Praefectus Rei Publicae Administrandae assuming the relevant supervisory obligations if the office of Praeses is vacated. There is nothing wrong with this in principle, but as we all seem to be in agreement that our current Praefectus Rei Publicae Administrandae, Gn. Cornelius Lentulus, is highly overworked, it seems that granting him additional obligations is something we would want to avoid. Hopefully this situation will not arise, but, if it does, we should make an effort to see a new Praeses appointed as soon as possible. Apologies for raising these concerns after the window for modifications had passed. <br /> <br /> Antiquo / Dissentio = 1 (TiIN)<br /> <br /> Abstineo = 0<br /> <br /> Nihil censuerunt = 14 (MACI, MHMFF, CCCB, AVC, CFCAS, TDD, QAN, MCMT, CPST, PAB, AOMG, MOC, SxLT, ACR)<br /> <br /> CENSUERE: ITA CENSUERUNT (ITEM PASSED)<br /> <br /> <br /> '''ITEM III - Senatus consultum de legione extra provinciam pro provincia Pannonia constituta'''<br /> <br /> Uti rogas / censeo / consentio = 9 (DAI, CnCL, FlVG, AIP, PPL, TiIN, DCA, LCB, SiFA)<br /> <br /> :Comments:<br /> <br /> ::AIP: It makes sense both that governors should not generally be able to recruit legions outside their own provinces and that we should make an exception where there is a personal relationship which makes one person or provincial administration an ideal contact between a given legion and Nova Roma.<br /> <br /> Antiquo / Dissentio = 0<br /> <br /> Abstineo = <br /> <br /> Nihil censuerunt = 14 (MACI, MHMFF, CCCB, AVC, CFCAS, TDD, QAN, MCMT, CPST, PAB, AOMG, MOC, SxLT, ACR)<br /> <br /> CENSUERE: ITA CENSUERUNT (ITEM PASSED)<br /> <br /> <br /> '''ITEM IV - Senatus consultum de potestate curatoris aerarii rationem argentariam constituendi'''<br /> <br /> Uti rogas / censeo / consentio = 9 (DAI, CnCL, FlVG, AIP, PPL, TiIN, DCA, LCB, SiFA)<br /> <br /> Antiquo / Dissentio = 0<br /> <br /> Abstineo = 0<br /> <br /> Nihil censuerunt = 14 (MACI, MHMFF, CCCB, AVC, CFCAS, TDD, QAN, MCMT, CPST, PAB, AOMG, MOC, SxLT, ACR)<br /> <br /> CENSUERE: ITA CENSUERUNT (ITEM PASSED)<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Session Results==<br /> <br /> *Senators who did not vote in this session: MACI, MHMFF, CCCB, AVC, CFCAS, TDD, QAN, MCMT, CPST, PAB, AOMG, MOC, SxLT, ACR.<br /> <br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; width=&quot;95%&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#993333; text-align:center; color:#ffffff;&quot; | Item nb.<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#993333; text-align:center; color:#ffffff;&quot; | Item title<br /> |-<br /> | style=&quot;text-align:center; font-size:8pt;&quot; | I<br /> | style=&quot;text-align:center; font-size:8pt;&quot; | [[Senatus consultum de consilio senatus de via culturali Europea constituendo (Nova Roma)|Senatus consultum de consilio senatus de via culturali Europea constituendo]]<br /> |-<br /> | style=&quot;text-align:center; font-size:8pt;&quot; | II<br /> | style=&quot;text-align:center; font-size:8pt;&quot; | [[Senatus consultum de legione extra provinciam pro provincia Pannonia constituta (Nova Roma)|Senatus consultum de legione extra provinciam pro provincia Pannonia constituta]]<br /> |-<br /> | style=&quot;text-align:center; font-size:8pt;&quot; | III<br /> | style=&quot;text-align:center; font-size:8pt;&quot; | [[Senatus consultum de potestate curatoris aerarii rationem argentariam constituendi (Nova Roma)|Senatus consultum de potestate curatoris aerarii rationem argentariam constituendi]]<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Senate sessions (Nova Roma)]]</div>

With the sad passing of the praefectus legionis, senator Gallio Velius Marsallas, the Legio XXIV Media Atlantia, stationed in Provincia America Noveboracensus et Mediatlantica, the First Legion of Nova Roma established at the time of the founding Nova Roma, remained without unit commander and manager. The senate wishes to save this legion from dissolution and oblivion, and to honor its almost three decades of history. Much of the equipment of the legion was bought by our other legion, Legio IV Victrix, which was also founded in Mediatlantica, by partners of the Legio XXIV Media Atlantia, but moved to our Provincia California.<br /> <br /> II. Therefore the senate decrees that the Legio XXIV Media Atlantica shall be reassigned to Provincia California, shall be merged with the Legio IV Victrix, a separate unit, but embodied and represented by the same legionaries, put under the commander of Legio IV Victrix, and shall be under the imperium of whichever governor is responsible for the territory covered by the area that is currently called Nova Roma's Provincia California.<br /> <br /> III. Legio IV shall remain responsible to continue Legio XXIV Media Atlantia, and honor the flag, name and traditions of Legio XXIV Media Atlantia and Gallio Velius Marsallas, and provide Nova Roma with events, occasions, as they deem possible, where the flag and name of the Legio XXIV Media Atlantia is present and honored.<br /> &lt;/onlyinclude&gt;</div>

If any past evaluation of the provinces, or if the evaluation of provinces in the year of consulship of M. Metellus and D. Aurelius, would cause the effect of automatic loss of a province, the following provinces shall be excepted and shall incur the following effects:<br /> <br /> :I.A. Provinces in the United States of America, Provincia America Transmississippiana, Provincia Nova Britannia and Provincia Lacus Magni shall not be lost for the time being, but shall continue as they are.<br /> <br /> ::I.B.1. The following provinces in the United States of America, Provincia America Hispanica, Provincia California, Provincia America Noveboracensis et Mediatlantica and Provincia America Cismississippiana, after the official declaration of the loss of province, shall immediately automatically be reincorporated into the structure of the American provinces effective on the following Kalends after the senatus consultum of provincial evaluation has taken force. The reason for this is not to let them disappear leaving an empty hole in the map of the Nova Roman empire. They shall undergo merger instead of permanent dissolution because of the principle of the Nova Roman provincial system that one country should be entirely incorporated as a province, either one or more provinces, and parts of a country may not be left out of Nova Roma.<br /> <br /> ::I.B.2. On the next Kalends, Provincia America Hispanica and Provincia California, if lost by Nova Roma, shall be reincorporated and merged into Provincia America Transmississippiana as regiones, Regio America Hispanica and Regio California, respectively. Similarly, Provincia America Noveboracensis et Mediatlantica and Provincia America Cismississippiana shall merge into Provincia Nova Britannia as regiones. If America Noveboracensis et Mediatlantica were not lost and to be merged, but America Cismississippiana would, then Cismississippiana shall be merged into Noveboracensis et Mediatlantica. <br /> <br /> :I.C. Provincia Sarmatia, Dacia, Marcomannia, Canada, Brasilia and Nova Hispania shall be exempt from the procedure of loss to Nova Roma, and shall continue as they are, for the time being. Their status shall be reconsidered at the provincial evaluation which comes after the next.<br /> <br /> II. Regardless of the official time table and deadlines of provincial evaluations and reports to be submitted, the evaluation of provinces is considered having taken place and happened if, and only if, the presiding magistrate has introduced this as an item on the senate agenda, published the provincial reports during session as part of the item, and declared which ones were not submitted, and the senate has examined the reports, and an official senatus consultum was enacted. Likewise, any effect of the provincial evaluations (marks, labels, dissolution etc.) may occur if, and only if the senatus consultum communicating these effects have been duly enacted.<br /> <br /> III. In the interpretation of the required number of gathering citizens in the provincial evaluation, as definded by the Senatus consultum de provinciis ordinandis, cives Novi Romani optimo iure, cives Novi Romani sine suffragio and cives Latini can be counted and included, until the evaluation held this year. From the next year on, only cives Novi Romani optimo iure.<br /> &lt;/onlyinclude&gt;</div>

Senators D. Aurelius Ingeniarius and P. Aurelius Barbatus are appointed as third and fourth members in their capacity as senator. The committee can spend money for the purpose described in this SC, but all members of the committe must approve each expenditure unanimously, and the Officium Aerarii shall also approve the expenditure if an item has a price higher than a 1000 USD. After such an official decision, payment may be made by the curator aerarii or any of the two quaestores aerarii. The committee shall not receive a budget to spend before a financial report of the aerarium publicum is heard by the senate. The senate shall allocate a budget to spend after it heard the treasury report.&quot;<br /> <br /> II. Article V shall be modified to include these sentences at the end of the Article V:<br /> <br /> :&quot;Until a different decision is made, if ever, the Commissio Senatus ad Vestimenta et Instrumenta Publica Procuranda shall also undertake this task, reporting to the Officium Operum Publicorum.&quot;<br /> &lt;/onlyinclude&gt;</div>

Although I didn't change my opinion, I agree that all inquiries of all senators have to be answered thoroughly, and even a praetor demanded this. They must receive all information.<br /> <br /> ::DCA: I thank Senators Lentulus and Barbatus for their considerable service to Nova Roma. Receiving that comprehensive financial report is definitely a long overdue step in the right direction for transparency and I look forward to see also a detailed proposal regarding the tent &amp; furnishings, including cost estimates and safeguards. A major theme of my previous messages is that we should be able to make an informed decision when voting on huge tax payer funded expenditures, and I appreciate that we will be getting closer to that. Regarding the other topic of extremely expensive tax payer funded togas &amp; tunics, I remain completely unconvinced however that is not in this specific vote.<br /> <br /> ::FlVG: While I am pleased the text was changed at the last minute, if and when this matter comes up again, I will need a lot of convincing to spend a large percentage of our treasury on reenactment supplies that will only benefit a handful of people and whose concrete benefit to Nova Roma as a whole has not been explained.<br /> <br /> ::AIP: Since the modified version of this proposal affords us some extra time before the final decision on expenditures is made, it might be a good idea to share the arguments on both sides with the broader group of citizens and see what they think.<br /> <br /> ::PAB: I appreciate the compromise here and am working as fast as communication allows go get the relevant information from the treasury staff to make a preliminary financial report.<br /> <br /> ::TDD: I approve of this alteration to the proposal, but I question direction we are going. We are meant to be modern Romans, living today. We should be focusing on infrastructure that benefits all Nova Romans, the website for starters. Perhaps an accountant (familiar with Maine nonprofit law) to get our financials in proper order to get us on track for the future. <br /> <br /> Antiquo / Dissentio = 3 (SxLT, QAN, SiFA)<br /> <br /> :Comments:<br /> <br /> ::SxLT: I am disappointed for the lack of consistency from you consul. We were promised these steps of development and I served as consul and military tribune with consular power for three years altogether. Did I do these for nothing? I did in my capacity what I could so we can have NR reach the point when we are out there and we have our own camp version of the City State of Nova Roma. I signed up for these kinds of things when I joined after reading the Declaration. I understand the consul just wanted to honor democracy here, but we honor democracy so long we will forget that we are an organization created to do things. We are not a platonic republic to play legal formulas but a history organization. I saw civil wars, I fought one as a leader, but I didn't expect to see we are afraid just to function so we can please everyone. I will not believe in NR seriously anymore unless I see our organization has its real assets and uses them for going out and host our Roman community events.<br /> <br /> Abstineo = 0<br /> <br /> Nihil censuerunt = 4 (PPL, MOC, ApCR, AOMG)<br /> <br /> CENSUERE: ITA CENSUERUNT (ITEM PASSED)<br /> <br /> <br /> '''ITEM II - Senatus consultum de provinciis servandis aut amittendis'''<br /> <br /> Uti rogas / censeo / consentio = 16 (MCMT, LCB, DCA, MACI, CPST, SxLT, QAN, CCCB, PAB, CFCAS, MHMFF, TiIN, AVC, AIP, CnCL, SiFA)<br /> <br /> :Comments:<br /> <br /> ::CnCL: This gives some time to reconsider a couple of questions, but after all, it was high time that inactive provinces be called upen, and their status as a province be revoked.<br /> <br /> ::DCA: I think more can be done to strengthen or reactivate provinces, including finding and assisting governor candidates willing &amp; able to serve.

Most of the provinces in North America are already too large to effectively serve their citizens. This will only exacerbate the problem. <br /> <br /> ::TDD: I am not a fan of merging provinces. Most are too large as-is. Merging hasn't improved anything anywhere we have done it. Maybe we need to instead look into why activity, retention, and recruitment is low.<br /> <br /> Abstineo = 1 (DAI)<br /> <br /> :Comments: <br /> <br /> ::DAI: I won't block this measure but I did want to highlight how unwieldy our provincial evaluation system has become. Through no fault of their own, very few senators here (let alone the governors themselves) could accurately recall with sufficient detail all the legislation that governs the administration of our provinces and what provinces have reported what and when. This decree is the latest attempt to temporarily band-aid a failing system. Part of the issue is the lack of &quot;local&quot; governors, a lack of mentoring and training, and burdening the busiest people in the Republic with multiple governorships.

This senatus consultum hereby establishes the &quot;Consilium Senatus de Via Culturali Europea Constituenda&quot; (the senatorial council concerning the establishment of a European cultural route), refereed to more colloquially as the &quot;Senatorial European Cultural Route Establishment Committee&quot;, or &quot;SECREC&quot;, as an abbreviation.<br /> <br /> III. The structure of this committee is established under the Term of Reference, ''Mandatum Consilii'' (included as an annex to this sentatus consultum). By approving this senatus consultum, the senate approves the structure and remit of this committee. As required by this document, the senate affirms the appointment of key accountable managers, as per the mandatum consilii:<br /> <br /> :A. Magister Operum, Program Director and Committee Vice-Chair: Spurius Ulpius Genadius<br /> <br /> :B. Praeses Consilii, Senatorial Committee Chair/Supervising Senator: Decimus Aurelius Ingeniarius<br /> <br /> IV. The senate enforces that the committee is only authorized to carryout its objectives under an approved Project Management Plan (PMP). This senatus consultum authorizes any current or future consuls to approve revisions (after the first instance) of the PMP, under edictum. Any changes requiring increases to budget or new legal contracts must be presented to the senate.<br /> &lt;/onlyinclude&gt;</div>

<p>Decimus Aurelius Ingeniarius: Adding tabularium box</p> <hr /> <div>[[Category:Senatus_consulta_(Nova_Roma)]]<br /> {{LanguageBar|Senatus consultum de potestate curatoris aerarii rationem argentariam constituendi (Nova Roma)}}<br /> {{Praetores}}<br /> {{Tabularium articles|pgchk=2|lexstat=|com=|yes=|no=|abs=|when=|scstat=1|scyes=9|scno=0|scabs=0|scwhen={{Aug 30}} {{2026}}|guideone=Nova Roma Taxes|guidetwo=Aerarium Publicum (Nova Roma)}}<br /> <br /> ''A senatorial decree concerning the authority of the Curator of the Treasury to establish a bank account.''<br /> &lt;onlyinclude&gt;<br /> I. Previously under the ''senatus consultum de ordine novo tributorum exigendorum'', the curator aerarii was tasked with opening a European bank account. Activating article VI of that decree, the curator has submitted a recommendation to the senate (Annex A) to proceed with a &quot;Wise Business&quot; account. The senate accepts his recommendation and acknowledges that it meets the intent of the ''senatus consultum de ordine novo tributorum exigendorum''. <br /> <br /> <br /> II. To facilitate the opening of a Wise Business account, the senate (the Nova Roma board of directors) authorizes the curator aerarii (Nova Roma chief treasurer), Publius Aurelius Barbatus (Mr Preston Sangster) to act in the name of Nova Roma Inc. to open a Wise Business account. Authorized access to this new account is granted by the senate to those already established as treasury officers under Nova Roma law, supporting the curator. <br /> <br /> &lt;/onlyinclude&gt;<br /> '''''Annex A to senatus consultum de potestate curatoris aerarii rationem argentariam constituendi'''''<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Statement of the Curator Aerarii concerning the establishment of a euro-denominated treasury account'''<br /> <br /> Patres conscripti,<br /> <br /> The senatus consultum de ordine novo tributorum exigendorum directs the curator aerarii to establish a European-based bank account in the name of Nova Roma, Inc. The purpose of the account is to allow citizens to pay taxes in euros through the Single Euro Payments Area, using a euro-denominated account that accepts transfers without fees and imposes no continuing costs, or only minimal costs.<br /> <br /> I have examined the practical, legal, administrative, and financial implications of carrying out this instruction through a conventional European bank. I have also examined Wise Business as an alternative means of achieving the same operational result.<br /> <br /> The principal conclusion is that a traditional European bank account may be legally possible, but it would likely impose a substantial administrative burden upon Nova Roma without any guarantee that a bank would accept the application. Wise Business would require meaningful corporate verification, but the process is materially simpler and would functionally accomplish the purpose of the decree.<br /> <br /> Establishing a conventional European bank account<br /> <br /> Nova Roma, Inc. is a nonprofit corporation incorporated in the State of Maine. Opening a foreign bank account would not alter its corporate domicile or create a new European legal entity. The account would remain an asset of Nova Roma, Inc.<br /> <br /> The practical difficulty is that Nova Roma is a United States corporation without a conventional branch, office, employee, or established business operation in a European jurisdiction. Many European banks decline applications from foreign organizations unless they can demonstrate a substantial local connection.<br /> <br /> Even where local law does not formally prohibit a nonresident corporation from holding an account, an individual bank may require a local address, branch registration, tax number, resident officer, employee, commercial activity, or other evidence of an operational connection to the country.<br /> <br /> The appointment of an authorized magistrate residing in Europe would assist with identification, correspondence, local attendance, and account administration, but it would not by itself establish Nova Roma’s eligibility. The bank would still have to verify Nova Roma as the actual customer and establish that the magistrate was legally authorized to act on behalf of the corporation.<br /> <br /> The account could not properly be opened as the personal account of a magistrate and then used informally for Nova Roma’s funds. Such an arrangement would create unacceptable risks of commingling, loss of corporate control, uncertainty concerning ownership, and dependence upon the continued cooperation of the individual account holder.<br /> <br /> Any account must be titled in the name of Nova Roma, Inc., with the magistrate or treasury officer acting only as an authorized representative, administrator, or signatory.<br /> <br /> Institutional terminology and explanation of activities<br /> <br /> Nova Roma’s governmental and constitutional terminology does not correspond directly with the terminology used by ordinary banks and corporate compliance departments.<br /> <br /> A bank may not understand automatically the role of a consul, curator aerarii, quaestor aerarii, treasury account manager, or the Senate. These offices would have to be explained in conventional corporate terms.<br /> <br /> The curator aerarii may be described as the corporation’s authorized treasury officer. A quaestor aerarii or treasury account manager may be described as an authorized account administrator or signatory. The consuls may need to be identified according to whatever formal corporate authority they exercise under Nova Roma’s corporate documents.<br /> <br /> The term “tax” would also require explanation. Nova Roma’s taxes are internal assessments or membership payments made by the citizens of a private nonprofit corporation. They are not governmental taxes imposed through the sovereign authority of a state.<br /> <br /> The bank would need a clear explanation that Nova Roma seeks to receive modest annual organizational payments from citizens in Europe and elsewhere, and that those funds are to be used solely for the lawful administrative and nonprofit purposes of Nova Roma, Inc.<br /> <br /> Documents likely required by a conventional European bank<br /> <br /> The exact requirements would vary by country and institution, but Nova Roma should expect a conventional foreign bank to request substantially all of the following:<br /> <br /> 1. Articles or certificate of incorporation for Nova Roma, Inc.<br /> 2. Any amendments to the articles of incorporation.<br /> 3. A current certificate of existence or certificate of good standing from the State of Maine.<br /> 4. Nova Roma’s Employer Identification Number confirmation.<br /> 5. The Internal Revenue Service determination letter, if Nova Roma possesses recognized federal tax-exempt status.<br /> 6. Current corporate bylaws.<br /> 7. Nova Roma’s constitution or other governing instruments where necessary to explain the relationship between the Senate, board, consuls, and treasury officers.<br /> 8. A current list of directors.<br /> 9. A current list of principal corporate officers.<br /> 10. A description of Nova Roma’s governance structure.<br /> 11. An organizational chart identifying the persons who exercise ultimate control over the corporation.<br /> 12. A formal board resolution authorizing the opening of the account.<br /> 13. A resolution identifying the selected bank, or authorizing the curator aerarii to select an institution.<br /> 14. A resolution naming the person authorized to submit the application.<br /> 15. A resolution naming each authorized signatory.<br /> 16. A resolution naming each person permitted to use online banking or administrative controls.<br /> 17. A resolution establishing whether transactions above a certain amount require more than one approval.<br /> 18. The applicable senatus consultum authorizing the euro account.<br /> 19. A formal letter from a consul confirming the Senate’s decision and the authority granted to the curator aerarii or other designated representative.<br /> 20. A power of attorney authorizing the local magistrate or treasury account manager to act for Nova Roma, Inc.<br /> 21. Notarized copies of resolutions, powers of attorney, signatures, or other documents where required.<br /> 22. Apostilles authenticating Maine corporate records, notarizations, powers of attorney, or resolutions where required.<br /> 23. Certified translations into the language of the selected bank’s jurisdiction.<br /> 24. Government-issued identification for the curator aerarii.<br /> 25. Government-issued identification for each authorized signatory.<br /> 26. Government-issued identification for each director, controlling officer, or other person the bank treats as exercising ultimate control.<br /> 27. Residential addresses for all persons subject to verification.<br /> 28. Proof of residence for those persons.<br /> 29. Dates and places of birth.<br /> 30. Citizenship and tax-residence information.<br /> 31. Tax-identification numbers for directors, officers, signatories, or controllers where required.<br /> 32. A completed Form W-9 or other certification of Nova Roma’s United States tax status.<br /> 33. Any FATCA self-certification required by the bank.<br /> 34. Any Common Reporting Standard self-certification required by the bank.<br /> 35. A description of Nova Roma’s nonprofit purposes.<br /> 36. A description of its activities.<br /> 37. A description of its citizenship or membership system.<br /> 38. An explanation of the internal tax or dues system.<br /> 39. An explanation of why a euro-denominated account is required.<br /> 40. An estimate of the number of transactions expected each month or year.<br /> 41. An estimate of the average and maximum balance.<br /> 42. An estimate of the average size of individual payments.<br /> 43. A list of the principal countries from which payments are expected.<br /> 44. An explanation of the source of funds.<br /> 45. An explanation of the expected use and destination of funds.<br /> 46. Recent treasury reports or financial statements.<br /> 47. Recent statements from Nova Roma’s existing United States bank accounts and payment platforms.<br /> 48. Recent annual filings or federal information returns, including Form 990 or the applicable alternative, if requested.<br /> 49. Evidence of Nova Roma’s physical or mailing address in the United States.<br /> 50. Evidence of the authorized representative’s address in the European jurisdiction, if required.<br /> 51. Evidence of a substantial connection to the selected country, if required by the bank.<br /> 52. A local tax number, company registration number, branch registration, or other local identifier, if required.<br /> 53. A description of the controls that prevent misuse of the account.<br /> 54. A description of the persons responsible for reconciling the account.<br /> 55. A description of the controls governing outgoing transfers.<br /> 56. A description of the procedure for removing former officers and transferring access to successors.<br /> 57. Declarations concerning beneficial ownership or ultimate control, notwithstanding that Nova Roma has no shareholders.<br /> 58. Declarations concerning politically exposed persons, sanctions, or related compliance matters.<br /> 59. Any additional documents requested by the bank to establish the legitimacy, purpose, and expected operation of the account.<br /> <br /> Preparing this package could require coordination among the curator aerarii, consuls, board, corporate secretary, and proposed European account manager. It could also require notarization, apostilles, translation, foreign legal advice, and personal attendance at a bank branch.<br /> <br /> Even after these steps were completed, the bank might still refuse the application because Nova Roma lacks a sufficient local economic or organizational presence.<br /> <br /> United States reporting, tax, and accounting implications<br /> <br /> A conventional foreign bank account would create additional United States reporting responsibilities.<br /> <br /> If the aggregate maximum value of Nova Roma’s foreign financial accounts exceeds $10,000 at any point during a calendar year, Nova Roma would generally be required to file a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts on FinCEN Form 114.<br /> <br /> United States citizens or residents with signature authority over the account may also have individual FBAR obligations, even though the funds belong to Nova Roma rather than to them personally.<br /> <br /> The foreign account may also require disclosure on Nova Roma’s annual federal information return. Depending upon the nature and scale of Nova Roma’s foreign activities, Schedule F may also become relevant.<br /> <br /> The location of the account would not ordinarily determine whether the underlying receipts are taxable. Their treatment would depend upon what the payments represent, such as membership dues, contributions, program revenue, or another category of receipt.<br /> <br /> Nova Roma’s accounts and federal filings would remain denominated in United States dollars. The treasury would therefore need a consistent method for recording euro receipts, conversion fees, year-end balances, and currency gains or losses.<br /> <br /> Depending upon the country selected, Nova Roma could also face foreign withholding on interest, requests for tax-residence documentation, or other local reporting requirements.<br /> <br /> A foreign bank account by itself would not ordinarily create a taxable branch or permanent establishment, but the answer could change if Nova Roma also maintained an office, employed local personnel, conducted substantial local business, or authorized a representative habitually to bind the corporation.<br /> <br /> Nova Roma’s nonprofit or tax-exempt status in the United States would not automatically confer charitable status in another country. The account should therefore not be represented as authorizing local tax-deductible charitable receipts unless Nova Roma separately qualified under local law.<br /> <br /> Governance and control concerns<br /> <br /> A foreign account should not depend solely upon one individual magistrate.<br /> <br /> Nova Roma should avoid any arrangement in which access or recovery depends entirely upon a magistrate’s personal telephone number, private email account, home address, continued tenure, or willingness to cooperate after leaving office.<br /> <br /> The account should be titled only in the name of Nova Roma, Inc. At least two appropriate officers should possess administrative visibility or recovery authority. Institutional email addresses should be used where possible. Statements should be preserved in a central treasury archive.<br /> <br /> Substantial outgoing transfers should require more than one approval where the institution permits it. Each account user’s authority should be documented and limited. There should be a written procedure for the immediate transfer or termination of access when an officer resigns, is removed, or completes a term.<br /> <br /> Wise Business as an alternative<br /> <br /> Wise Business offers a substantially simpler means of accomplishing the operational purpose of the decree.<br /> <br /> A Wise Business account may be established under the verified legal name of Nova Roma, Inc. Once approved, Nova Roma may receive individual euro account details, maintain a euro-denominated balance, and accept payments through the SEPA system.<br /> <br /> Wise also supports multiple account users, differentiated access levels, payment approvals, transaction records, statements, and controlled account administration.<br /> <br /> This would allow Nova Roma to receive euro tax payments through ordinary European transfer methods without requiring the corporation to establish a foreign branch, obtain a European corporate registration, maintain a local office, or build a traditional banking relationship in a country where it has no substantial business operation.<br /> <br /> Wise would still require meaningful verification. It is not an anonymous or informal service. Nova Roma would have to prove its legal existence, identify its directors and controller, verify the applicant, explain its activities, document its address, establish the source of funds, and demonstrate the applicant’s authority to act.<br /> <br /> The difference is that the Wise process is designed for remote international business onboarding and relies primarily upon records Nova Roma should already possess.<br /> <br /> Wise Business verification requirements<br /> <br /> Wise does not use one fixed document list for every applicant. It first attempts to verify the organization electronically and then requests additional evidence where necessary.<br /> <br /> Nova Roma should be prepared to provide:<br /> <br /> 1. Its full legal name, entity type, EIN, registered address, operating address, and a description of its activities.<br /> <br /> 2. Articles of incorporation, amendments, a current Maine certificate of existence or good standing, bylaws, and IRS documentation where requested.<br /> <br /> 3. The names, dates of birth, countries of residence, and identification details of directors and the person Wise treats as exercising ultimate control.<br /> <br /> 4. Government-issued identification and proof of address for the person opening the account.<br /> <br /> 5. A board resolution, authorization letter, or power of attorney confirming that the applicant may open and administer the account on behalf of Nova Roma, Inc.<br /> <br /> 6. Proof that the Tennessee address listed in Maine’s corporate records is the organization’s genuine registered and administrative address.<br /> <br /> 7. A clear explanation of Nova Roma’s activities, its citizen tax system, the purpose of the euro account, the expected number and value of payments, and the countries from which payments are expected.<br /> <br /> 8. Evidence of the source of funds, such as bank statements, PayPal statements, treasury reports, payment ledgers, tax-rate legislation, or other financial records.<br /> <br /> Nova Roma should prepare these records in advance but submit only those documents specifically requested by Wise.<br /> <br /> The Wise process still requires meaningful verification, but it relies primarily on existing United States corporate records and can ordinarily be completed remotely. Unlike a conventional European bank, Wise would not normally require Nova Roma to establish a European branch, obtain local corporate registration, retain a local office, secure apostilles or certified translations, or attend a foreign branch in person.<br /> <br /> Comparison of administrative burden<br /> <br /> Wise does not eliminate compliance obligations. Nova Roma would still have to prove its identity, governance, address, authority, activities, and source of funds.<br /> <br /> The administrative difference is nevertheless substantial.<br /> <br /> A conventional European bank may require the same core corporate records together with apostilles, notarizations, certified translations, local tax numbers, branch registration, evidence of a commercial connection to the country, local legal advice, and personal attendance.<br /> <br /> Wise would ordinarily allow Nova Roma to complete the process remotely with existing United States corporate records.<br /> <br /> Wise would not normally require Nova Roma to:<br /> <br /> - establish a European branch;<br /> - obtain a foreign corporate registration;<br /> - retain a local office;<br /> - obtain a local tax number solely for the account;<br /> - translate its entire corporate record;<br /> - attend a foreign bank branch in person; or<br /> - demonstrate a substantial business operation in the bank’s country.<br /> <br /> For a small international nonprofit seeking only to receive modest euro-denominated payments, this difference is significant.<br /> <br /> Functional compliance with the decree<br /> <br /> Wise Business is not a conventional European deposit account opened directly with a traditional bank.<br /> <br /> It should therefore not be represented without qualification as being identical to the specific institutional form named in the decree.<br /> <br /> Under the narrowest possible interpretation, the words “European-based bank account” may be read as requiring a direct relationship with a conventional European bank.<br /> <br /> Wise may not satisfy that literal description.<br /> <br /> It does, however, satisfy the substantive and operational requirements of the decree.<br /> <br /> Wise would permit Nova Roma to:<br /> <br /> - establish an account under the verified legal name of Nova Roma, Inc.;<br /> - maintain funds denominated in euros;<br /> - provide European euro receiving details;<br /> - accept standard SEPA transfers;<br /> - receive payments from European citizens without requiring costly international bank wires;<br /> - avoid or minimize continuing account fees;<br /> - maintain transaction records and statements;<br /> - assign controlled access to treasury officers;<br /> - establish approval procedures for outgoing payments;<br /> - convert euros into dollars where necessary; and<br /> - transfer funds into Nova Roma’s principal United States treasury account.<br /> <br /> These are the practical objectives the decree was intended to accomplish.<br /> <br /> The difference between Wise and a conventional European bank is therefore principally one of institutional form, not operational result.<br /> <br /> Recommendation<br /> <br /> I recommend that the Senate recognize Wise Business as a reasonable and substantially compliant means of carrying out the senatus consultum de ordine novo tributorum exigendorum.<br /> <br /> This recommendation does not claim that Wise is technically identical to a conventional European bank account. It acknowledges that Wise meets the spirit, purpose, and functional requirements of the decree while differing from the narrowest possible reading of its wording.<br /> <br /> If the Senate wishes to remove uncertainty, it may clarify that the decree is satisfied by a regulated business payment account that:<br /> <br /> 1. is established under the verified legal name of Nova Roma, Inc.;<br /> 2. maintains or records funds in euros;<br /> 3. provides individual European receiving details;<br /> 4. accepts standard SEPA transfers;<br /> 5. permits citizens to pay without disproportionate international transfer costs;<br /> 6. imposes no continuing fees, or only minimal continuing fees;<br /> 7. provides reliable records and statements;<br /> 8. allows controlled access by duly authorized treasury officers; and<br /> 9. preserves Nova Roma’s ownership and control of the funds.<br /> <br /> Such a clarification would preserve the substantive protections and purpose of the law while permitting the treasury to use a modern financial service appropriate to Nova Roma’s actual circumstances.<br /> <br /> Unless the Senate determines that maintaining a conventional deposit account at a European bank is itself an indispensable objective, the documentation, cost, delay, and risk of rejection associated with that approach appear disproportionate to the limited purpose for which the account is required.<br /> <br /> Wise Business presents the more practical course. It would allow Nova Roma to receive tax payments in euros through SEPA, under its own corporate identity, with appropriate records and internal controls, while imposing substantially less administrative overhead upon the treasury, the consuls, the corporate board, and the appointed account managers.<br /> <br /> For these reasons, I recommend that the Senate authorize or acknowledge Wise Business as fulfilling the operational requirements and legislative purpose of the decree.</div>

Historically, the office of rogator has been restricted only to those who work in the censorial office. The nature and duties of rogator requires them to access specific data to aid in the development of voting roles, as well as data to aid in the breaking of voting ties in elections. This also meant having to have access to systems that also held Personal Identifiable Information (PII) of our citizens. With the development of new, more accessible record keeping that excludes PII, the once previous restriction is no longer required and is considered unnecessarily restrictive. <br /> <br /> II. This law is only intended to be an amending law and is not intended to be standalone law. It is intended to only modify the ''lex Tullia de comitiis habendis'' and does not rescind it. As this has law affects how comitia operates internally through the variance in rogator appointment, it will require senate ratification in accordance with article V.F. of the lex Cornelia Domitia de re publica constituenda. <br /> <br /> III. With this law, article II.C.1.a. of the ''lex Tullia de comitiis habendis'' is amended to read as follows:<br /> <br /> :The duties of the rogatores are to ask the citizens to vote by advertising the voting in any and all venues of communication, to assist citizens in the voting procedure, to answer their questions in connection to the technical and procedural aspects ongoing voting, to identify and to register the voters by centuries or tribes, and to pass the anonymous list of votes by centuries and tribes to the diribitores for counting. For the sake of tiebreaking, the rogatores shall provide the citizenship date and the birthdate of all candidates to the diribitores. The rogatores shall have access both to the cista and relevant accessible censorial records in order to fulfil their duties. If the censorial records are considered to be inadequate or otherwise restricted due to the presence of sensitive citizen data (personal identifiable information), then only officers of the Censorial Office may be appointed to this position. One of the rogatores can be appointed as custos. There shall be at least one rogator. Candidates for censorship, consulship, praetorship and plebeian tribuneship may not serve as rogatores.</div>

The senate acknowledges the investigation by the consuls under ''edictum consulare de legionibus extra provincias constitutis'', concerning the establishment of a legion outside the legal boundaries of provincia Pannonia. <br /> <br /> II. The senate concurs with the position of the consular edict going forwards, concerning interpretation of the lex Aurelia de legionibus and the lex Aurelia de familiis gladiatoriis et ludis gladiatoriis with respect to the ability of governors raising or establishing new units. <br /> <br /> III. The senate instructs the consuls to present an amending law to the people through the comitia, to address the ability for magistrates to present edicta from the distant past.<br /> <br /> IV. Acknowledging the relationship developed through the provincial governor, the senate hereby places Legio VI Herculia under the direct command and imperium of the governor of provincia Pannonia for two years from the date of the enactment of this senatus consultum. In this period, the senate should evaluate the viability of a new province or an expansion to provicia Pannonia. The governor of provincia Pannonia is instructed to cultivate activity in the region of the province to promote future independent administration. If the senate has not enacted a decision by the expiry of this time period, then the legion will automatically return under the direct command and imperium of the consuls. In the future, if a new province encompassing the legion is established or if the borders of another province is expanded to encompass the area of the legion, then the legion is automatically assigned under the imperium of the responsible governor, even without explicit remarks of the senate.<br /> &lt;/onlyinclude&gt;</div>

<p>Decimus Aurelius Ingeniarius: Adding tabularium box.</p> <hr /> <div>[[Category:Vetoed rogationes (Nova Roma)]]<br /> {{Praetores}}<br /> {{LanguageBar|Lex Vedia de assiduis et capite censis (Nova Roma)}}<br /> {{Tabularium articles|pgchk=1|lexstat=4|com=comitia centuriata |yes=0|no=0|abs=0|when={{Aug 28}} {{2026}}|vetomag=[[Marcus Claudius Marcellus (Nova Roma)|Marcus Claudius Marcellus]]|mag=[[Tribunus plebis (Nova Roma)|Tribunus plebis]]|guideone=|guidetwo=}}<br /> <br /> ''The Aurelian law concerning the validity of published edicts.''<br /> <br /> I. The lex Vedia de ratione edictorum has formed the basis of edict law for many years in Nova Roma. The law appreciated the decentralized nature of Nova Roman society and government and sought to ensure that all enacted edicta was published publicly within a given period of time to ensure understanding and compliance. Despite the administrative requirement of 72-hours to publish edicta, it did not specify the validity of those edicta posted beyond that time frame, or those even not posted at all. As a result, a precedence has developed where various magistrates can claim an issued edict to be valid from months or even years in the past. <br /> <br /> II. This law is intended to only be an amendment law and is not designed to be a standalone law. This law only applies amendments to the lex Vedia de ratione edictorum. The enactment of this law will only modify the basis of the lex Vedia de ratione edictorum and does not rescind it.<br /> <br /> III. Appreciating the past intent of the lex Vedia and noting the validity of an edict from the moment of issue, sperate from the moment of publication, this lex makes the following modifications to the lex Vedia de ratione edictorum:<br /> <br /> :A. Article I is to to be replaced in toto with the following:<br /> <br /> <br /> ::I. As described in the Constitution, the activities of magistrates in the furtherance of their official activities shall, in large part, take place through the issuance of edicta (edicts). Edicta are considered valid and actionable at the time they are issued by an approved authority. Edicta shall be publicly published within a set timeframe in order to maintain their validity from the moment of issuance (if prior to the moment of publication). A failure to publicly publish an edict within a set time renders the edict invalid and reversed. Depending on the office, edicta must be published in the following timeframes:<br /> <br /> :::A. Edicta by all central magistrates and senate-appointed officers with the ius edicendi: within 72-hours of issuance.<br /> <br /> :::B. Edicta by all governors of provinces: within two nundinae of issuance.<br /> <br /> <br /> :B. A new article (II) is to be created following the above article I and is to read as follows. The proceeding article is to be renumbered as article (III):<br /> <br /> <br /> ::II. For an edict to be published publicly, it must be published to at least one of the following public fora within 72-hours of their issuance: the officially sponsored email list, or the officially sponsored internet message board. All such edicta shall be posted in the Nova Roma tabularium by the curator rei informaticae as soon as practical.<br /> <br /> <br /> :C. The first sentence of article III is to have the following edition added to the first sentence:<br /> <br /> <br /> ::&quot;...by those legally empowered to do so by the constitution or as otherwise stipulated in law.&quot; <br /> <br /> <br /> :D. A new article (IV) is to be created following the extant article III and is to read as follows:<br /> <br /> <br /> ::IV. Extensions to publication timeframes as stipulated in article I in this lex may be sought by magistrates and governors only with explicit approval of the senate prior to the publication of the edictum. Upon being provided sufficient evidence, the senate only can endorse past issued edicta as valid to the following maximum timeframes:<br /> <br /> :::A. Edicta by all central magistrates and senate-appointed officers with the ''ius edicendi'': up to 3 months from issuance.<br /> <br /> :::B. Edicta by all governors of provinces: up to 12 months from original issuance.</div>

Historically defined under consular edicta, the requirement for election candidates to have a current profile photo on their Album Civium record seeks to build integrity and trust. In our predominately online society, it can be difficult to discern who is behind the identity of those running for office and place trust in those who you cannot see. <br /> <br /> II. This law is intended to only be an amendment law and is not designed to be a standalone law. This law only applies amendments to the ''lex Salvia de prorogatione et cumulatione'' and the ''lex Tullia annalis''. The enactment of this law will supersede the ''edictum consulare de imaginibus candidatorum et magistratuum'' and the ''edictum consulare de poenis magistratuum edictum violantibus'', making them obsolete.<br /> <br /> III. The following amendments are made to the ''lex Tullia annalis'':<br /> <br /> :A. A new article (II) is to be inserted after article I. All other articles are to be renumbered accordingly. The new article II shall be:<br /> <br /> ::Each candidate for any administrative office, magistracy, or priesthood shall have submitted a present citizen ID photo to their Album Civium record. The ID photo must:<br /> <br /> :::A. Be less than 10 years old (applicable to new photos only).<br /> :::B. Be unmodified and not created by artificial intelligence (AI).<br /> :::C. Not modified by image filters or photo-editing software that distorts colour, background, or the clear appearance of the face. <br /> :::D. Show the citizen wearing Roman dress or garb, appropriate to their rank, or otherwise wearing modern clothing that is at least &quot;smart-casual&quot; in appearance. <br /> :::E. Clearly show the full face (wearing of a headdress that does not obscure the eyes, nose or mouth is still acceptable). <br /> :::F. Not contain any writing (this excludes writing seen on approved vexillia or Roman group advertising). <br /> <br /> IV. The following amendments are made to the ''lex Salvia de prorogatione et cumulatione'':<br /> <br /> :A. A new article (III.D.) is to be inserted after article III.C:<br /> <br /> ::No individual shall present a candidacy for a magistracy unless his or her Album Civium record contains a current citizen ID photo.<br /> <br /> :B. A new article (IV.D.) is to be inserted after article IV.D:<br /> <br /> ::Any citizen without a current citizen ID photo on his or her Album Civium record, provided they have submitted one before one nundinum has elapsed after the announcement of the election results.<br /> <br /> V.

The senate has identified a set of critical tasks that should be completed this year. The senate requests the aid of Cn. Cornelius Lentulus, to complete these tasks.<br /> <br /> II. In order to complete the identified critical tasks, the senate will require Cn. Cornelius Lentulus to temporarily cease various jobs and activities in the Republic. This final decree protects him, and anyone authorised to support him in these tasks. The senate establishes the following list of priority tasks that Cn. Cornelius Lentulus must complete, in order, as his only activity in Nova Roma, with the following exceptions and additional restrictions:<br /> <br /> :A. Cn. Cornelius Lentulus may continue to organise, manage and attend activities and events in European-based provinces for which he holds a governor role. This includes municipal inquires and answering inquiries from provincial citizens related to official events and activities. This does not include actioning new minor or large-scale projects within any given province. Cn. Cornelius Lentulus is encouraged to delegate as much tasking to provincial staff as possible. He may appoint new staff, as permitted under law. <br /> <br /> :B. Cn. Cornelius Lentulus remains answerable to general inquiries from the consuls, praetors and curator aerarii, in his role as praefectus rei publicae administrandae and curator rei informaticae. These officers are encouraged to engage him as little as possible during the active period of this decree.<br /> <br /> :C. Cn. Cornelius Lentulus is not prohibited from exercising any of his standard rights as a citizen of Nova Roma; he may continue to vote and debate in the senate, any comitia, and represent himself in any trial warranting his appearance.<br /> <br /> :D. Cn. Cornelius Lentulus is not permitted to undertake any activities associated with his current magistracy or any member activities with a state-sponsored or aedile-registered special interest sodalitas or collegium. He is also restricted from undertaking any activity in his capacity as an apparitor (with the exception of censorial duties). This decree waives him from any penalties he may be subject to as a result of his inactivity.<br /> <br /> :E. Cn. Cornelius Lentulus must report the completion of each task, or when commencing a second task simultaneously (as is permitted in cases below), to the consuls, providing necessary evidence or statements as to their status.<br /> <br /> :F. With the exception of the final task in the list below, all tasks must be completed within 6 months from the enactment of this decree.<br /> <br /> III. Noting the above conditions, Cn. Cornelius Lentulus is hereby tasked with the following priority activities:<br /> <br /> :A. Utilizing existing platforms as required (like the Nova Roma Google account Google Drive), Cn. Cornelius Lentulus is to make the official live voting rolls (century and tribe) available to censorial office staff and any other offices required to have access. Publish the necessary instructions alongside with the rolls (citing extant law as required) on how these rolls are to be managed. Cn. Cornelius Lentulus may not proceed to the next task until this is finished.<br /> <br /> :B. Cn. Cornelius Lentulus is to carry out all necessary training and induction for a second scriba into the censorial office to support citizen application processing and Album Civium updates. Cn. Cornelius Lentulus may select who this new officer is. Cn. Cornelius Lentulus may not proceed to the next task until the new member has been officially appointed. <br /> <br /> :C. Cn. Cornelius Lentulus is to employ a new staff member of his choice to the Officium rei Informaticae to process all emails to the central Nova Roma email accounts (i.e. novaromacontact Gmail address). He may add additional staff from other offices to supplement this new staff member also. He should publish a procedure document as required to inform account custodians how to respond to various inquiries. This procedure document should be stored on the respective account Google Drive the staff members will now have access to. <br /> <br /> :D. Cn. Cornelius Lentulus is to aid in the Initiation of any final examinations, any testing, or induction process required, for those camilli ready for elevation or graduation to full sacerdos. Providing the necessary approved rituals from the collegium. This task also includes reviewing and appointing new camilli that have placed an application and are responsive to Collegium communication. As required, host a session of the Collegium Pontificum to officially complete their appointments. Citizens identified for elevation who do not respond to verified received instructions from Cn. Cornelius Lentulus within two weeks are deemed “not ready” and may be ignored for the purpose of this decree. As this requires responses from others, Cn. Cornelius Lentulus may proceed to the next task while awaiting responses.<br /> <br /> :E. Initiate the final induction process to induct those sacerdos who are eligible and able to enter their respective higher collegium. Providing the necessary approved procedures or guidance for the specific collegium. As required, host a session of the Collegium Pontificum to officially complete their appointments. Citizens identified for elevation who do not respond to verified received instructions from Cn. Cornelius Lentulus within two weeks are deemed “not ready” and may be ignored for the purpose of this decree. Current candidates requiring a longer program of study, or further research, should be equipped, briefed and instructed as required by the Collegium with a goal to graduate citizens before the allowed 6 months of this decree has elapsed. As this requires responses from others, Cn. Cornelius Lentulus may proceed to the next task while awaiting responses.<br /> <br /> :F. With input from Collegium members as required, produce a document that guides all authorised magistrates on the procedures to correctly take the auspices. Appreciating the sacred nature of these procedures, Cn. Cornelius Lentulus may determine the storage and distribution of this document, provided, at least, 3 citizens have access at any given time. Cn. Cornelius Lentulus may not proceed to the next task until this is finished. <br /> <br /> :G. Employ and train a new staff member, of his choice, in the Officium rei Informaticae, whose sole job is to manage and curate a list on the Nova Roma Wiki, that specifies all digital forums, online accounts, servers and digital platforms owned or associated with Nova Roma (citing who the technical administrators or owners are also). This staff member will also have the responsibility for assigning permissions each year to those citizens needing specific permissions across these digital spaces. Cn. Cornelius Lentulus may not proceed to the next task until the new member has been officially appointed. <br /> <br /> :H. Within one month of commencing this task, Cn. Cornelius Lentulus is to make a recommendation to the consuls for local governorship for the following provinces to relive him in these areas. Within this time, he is to identify and brief/train as necessary his selected replacements who will be considered by the senate. Cn. Cornelius Lentulus may not proceed to the next task until the replacements have been provided to the consuls. The provinces are:<br /> <br /> ::i. America Transmississippiana<br /> <br /> ::ii. Germania (to be made an independent reported province)<br /> <br /> ::iii. Lacus Magni<br /> <br /> :I. Working with the censors as required, Cn. Cornelius Lentulus is to ensure the appointment of a new staff member to the Officium Onomasticum and who also attends to the Censorial Board of Latin Examiners. Cn. Lentulus is to publish a local procedures document as required to govern how he sees these roles carrying out their function. This procedural document is to be published to the Nova Roma Tabularium. Cn. Cornelius Lentulus may proceed to the next task while awaiting responses from the censors as needed.<br /> <br /> :J. Cn. Lentulus is to produce a toga draping information video(s) that will inform Nova Roma citizens how to correctly put on a toga. Cn. Lentulus is empowered to commission up to two citizens to support him in this task – those citizens being excused from their primary roles (if any) in Nova Roma to support this activity. Those citizens are protected under the power of this decree to support this task. This task also requires him to publish a document that details the blueprints and design for citizens to make their own or commission the production of their own toga virilis, tunica, angusticlavia, toga praetexta, stola etc. Any videos are to be published to Nova Roma social media and the official Roman clothing design document is to be published on the appropriate pages on the Nova Roma Wiki. Upon reaching this task, he has 2 months to complete it and may not proceed to the next task until all artefacts are published.<br /> <br /> :K. Activate and commence work with his planned ICT workgroup that has been pending for a long duration to correct key Album Civium and website issues. Develop the required ICT report for the senate, if not already submitted, and commence a program and recommendations to migrate Nova Roma to a new website and album platform. Noting the magnitude of this task, the consuls can make a decision as to when sufficient progress has been achieved to lift the restrictions of this decree.<br /> <br /> IV. The senate must renew the elevated status of this decree every three months as required to afford the necessary protections for Cn. Cornelius Lentulus and supporting citizens. The consuls may grant at their discretion, only up to 3-months of extension, to the time limit to complete all tasks, to compensate for medical or family emergencies affecting him or his family. The Collegium Iurisprudentium, and the current magistri of the college, are hereby tasked to prioritise any request from Cn. Cornelius Lentulus that seeks any aid of formally publishing/formatting a document, or seeks to review any written procedure he writes. Upon the enactment of this decree, Cn. Cornelius Lentulus is obligated to commence tasking priorities as listed above.<br /> &lt;/onlyinclude&gt;</div>

This was another interesting session and I am happy we made some good progress despite only a few of the 23 senators actually offering any suggestions or improvements. We should all extend our thanks to the senators of D. Claudius, P. Aurelius, P. Porcius, T. Domitius, Fl. Germanicus and A. Iulius, who made meaningful and constructive comments before the vote in the senate to try and shape the proposals on the agenda. I also welcome those comments made by senators as part of their vote, although we were unable to enact on those in this session. We are often dealing with multi-faceted or complex issues and a diversity of different ideas really help us to come up with the best solution. My consular team and I are not perfect, and also such a small representation of the whole Republic, so, contributions like those from the senators above, help create better rounded proposals. I continue to encourage our whole senate body to ensure you are heard, no matter how small a suggestion. <br /> <br /> To summarize this session, the senate has decided, through their votes, on the following:<br /> <br /> :A. Despite attempts to rein in the approach, the senate has doubled-down on its commitment to spend at least two thirds of our entire treasury over three years on togas, tunics, tents and reenactment display items. Although there is certainly some merit in these purchases, the senate has insisted on no central oversight and no stipulation to track the purchases. The senate has refused to place any spending limits on this program, demanding an open budget. To provide some accountability, the senate has separately appointed a new curator aerarii (Chief Information Officer) this session, and through him, we may be able to start tracking the purchases at the very least. I'll continue to work with the previously appointed spending committee to try and gain more transparency and budgetary restraint. Noting our aging and obsolete online infrastructure, more work needs to be done to ensure we are spending appropriately, that benefits the majority of citizens. <br /> <br /> :B. I was pleased to see the senate accepted responsibility and accountability for the lack of financial reporting this session. The senate had inadequately supported our previous curator aerarii in communicating his tasking to him. We have also now, discharged, with honors, our previous curator aerarii, P. Porcius Licinus, and welcomed in a new curator aerarii, P. Aurelius Barbatus. We owe a great thanks to P. Porcius, and through our actions in this senate, we have now set up P. Aurelius for success. Through his enthusiasm, we may even get the greater extent of reporting we require this year too. I, and the senate, look forward to the contributions of P. Aurelius.<br /> <br /> :C. Through some effort, we were also able to define, for the first time, a process of acknowledgment for your citizen tax payments. The senate has heard your numerous complaints, your numerous concerns, and has sought to define a process and timeline of receipt and acknowledgment. The treasury team, under the good guidance of our new curator aerarii, will seek to start a better chain of communication, to not only acknowledge your gracious tax contributions to Nova Roma, but also ensure your public Album Civium records reflect your status accordingly. I am now off to brief the treasury and censorial team to ensure we can meet our obligations. <br /> <br /> :D. Many citizens will be pleased to hear that we have made steps to open a European-based bank account in the name of Nova Roma. There is still a bit of investigation and work to do yet, but we are attempting to provide our international community with more options. We’ll also be making a U.S. based bank account open in the next few months also. Stay tuned. In the meantime, the PayPal remains the usual option to pay your taxes. See the ongoing tax information here: http://www.novaroma.org/nr/Nova_Roma_Taxes. <br /> <br /> There is still much needing to be addressed. For example, we still face inefficiencies in many processes across our Republic. I hope we can explore solutions to these issues in our future sessions. We also need to undertake provincial administrative reporting and accountability this year also. Rest assured, we are working hard to resolve these things as soon as we can.<br /> <br /> ==Agenda==<br /> :{|border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; <br /> |-<br /> |ITEM I<br /> |Opening Address <br /> |''Item not for vote.

We require an accurate reporting of the finances of Nova Roma. For too long has it been ignored and it must stop. We, as members of the Board of Directors of Nova Roma, Inc have a LEGAL FIDICUARY DUTY to the corporation, to its members, to its donors, and the State of Maine. Interesting fact: Any member of the Board can demand the financial documentation of Nova Roma that must legally be granted within five business days (unless the demanding party allow further leeway) and that Nova Roma will be financially responsible for the legal fees incurred if it is taken to the Maine Superior Court. While I can see granting an extension, we cannot and should not continue to shirk our actual responsibilities. We can't keep kicking the can to the following year.<br /> <br /> ::FlVG: Financial responsibility is a fundamental necessity, and we owe it to the Cives to see that it is being enforced.<br /> <br /> ::CPST: I agree with some of my colleagues that financial responsibility is a fundamental necessity, and we owe it to the Cives to see that it is being enforced. We require an accurate reporting of the finances of Nova Roma. For too long it seems to have been ignored, and this practice must cease. I have been producing accounts for my law firm for some 38 years now, rather than paying an accountant to do this, and so I have some idea of what is involved, and the time required. It seems to me that the only reason we do not have public accounts is the required time, which would not be exorbitant (given the relatively limited number of transactions involving income and outgoings), has not been spent on this. Probably, if someone applied themselves fully to this task, it would take not more than 3 to 5 full days to complete at most, and that is being generous. It takes me less than one day to do the paperwork associated with my law firm’s own accounts, going through the receipts, adding up all the income and expenditure, and making the necessary calculations, It therefore seems a choice not to produce these accounts, rather than a product of inescapable or unforeseen circumstances.<br /> <br /> ::AOMG: I agree with some of my colleagues that financial responsibility is a fundamental necessity, and we owe it to the Cives to see that it is being enforced. Accurate reporting of the finances of Nova Roma is an obligation and not just a wish list.

Currently, there is no spending limit and no requirement to keep a paper trail for items purchased with Nova Roman funds per the senatus consultum de vestimentis et instrumentis publicis Novae Romae (although it did specify &quot;the committee shall also study and recommend the creation of a secretariate to determine custodianship, storage, and logistical management of these assets&quot; which I have not seen an update on.) I am in favor of purchasing items that we demonstrably need as the budget allows, but we must live within our means since we can't just add digits to Nova Roma's Bank of America and PayPal accounts. The moderate financial information that I have seen shows that Nova Roma needs more spending control and discussions on fiscal priorities, not less...especially as we dig deeply into the financial reserves this year. How many more large annual budget deficits can we absorb? Targeted purchases that we can afford I do support, and if revenues increase/expenses decrease then items purchased could commensurately be increased. Nevertheless, a blank check for unlimited spending that we don't even see happening in real time or vote on I cannot support, neither as a taxpayer nor as a senator since the board of directors for Nova Roma Inc. each carry a personal fiduciary responsibility. Also, establishing a record for all purchases in addition to custodianship, storage, and logistical management is common sense as well as overdue. Therefore, I feel obligated to go on record in the minutes of the senate as opposing unlimited spending on this topic and insisting on having a reasonable spending limit which this proposed item in front of the senate would do. That is, if one would think that a spending cap of 1,200 EUR on physical items is still in the realm of being fiscally reasonable after spending perhaps 4,000 EUR on the conventus plus a substantial amount for the website (I didn't see that figure for this year yet) when comparing those to revenues.<br /> <br /> ::CPST: I agree with A. Iulius Paterculus that a finite budget devoted to reenactment makes a lot of sense, and we should have a fuller discussion before either going forward with the proposed purchases or discarding the plan. Since section II includes a provision for a budget increase to be requested through the senate, like A. Iulius Paterculus, I am voting in favour so we are required to have that conversation. My preference would be not to define the amount allocated as a fixed amount of Euros, but rather as a percentage of the previous year’s income, which requires that we are properly provided with annual accounts so that we can judge the state of Nova Roma’s finances. This means that the budget for these items can increase as our income increase, incentivising us to grow our revenues, or automatically decrease as income falls. I am involve in local politics, and have seen how 14 years of carefully husbanding our budget, and actually increasing our council reserves, have been squandered by the new minority administration of a different incoming party, who acted like “kids in a candy store” when they go back into office, handing out money left, right, and centre. As a consequence, within a matter of 16 months they have effectively made my local authority bankrupt, with all the negative knock on effects in terms of cuts to services this is now having.<br /> <br /> ::FlVG: I am glad that the concerns I raised when this item was originally passed are finally being recognized and acted upon.<br /> <br /> ::TDD: No blank checks. I voted against the project for that very reason last year. Re-enactment is NOT the primary responsibility of Nova Roma and our funding, such as it may or may not be as we have received no financial reports in years, is better spent on bettering the body public of Nova Roma. Improving our infrastructure, investing in education (such as Latin, history, culture, religion). et cetera. Re-enactment is a tool, not our end-all. I would rather see us providing certifications than replicated chairs.<br /> <br /> ::AIP: I think that the general sentiment that there should be a finite budget devoted to reenactment makes a lot of sense, but when this proposal was drafted and during most of the debate period we did not have access to the information on the exact nature of planned expenditures which C. Flavius Constantinus gave us a day ago. We should have a full discussion before either going forward with the proposed purchases or discarding the plan. Since section II includes a provision for a budget increase to be requested through the senate, I am voting in favor so we are forced to have that conversation, though I hope that we will talk about it more in depth whether this specific provision succeeds or fails.<br /> <br /> ::AOMG: I agree with A.

However, during my consulship, the senate enacted the senatus consultum de vestimentis et instrumentis publicis Novae Romae. Following its passage, my former co-consul C. Flavius Constantinus, in cooperation with Cn. Cornelius Lentulus, began work on a substantial project intended to elevate Nova Roma's physical presence in Europe. Having worked alongside my former co-consul on this effort, I cannot support restrictions that would likely halt or substantially delay a project already in development. Accordingly, and with respect to the hard work my colleagues are investing in this undertaking, while I support prudent fiscal oversight in principle, I must vote against this proposal in its current form and at this time.<br /> <br /> Abstineo = 0<br /> <br /> Nihil censuerunt: 1 (ApCR)<br /> <br /> CENSUERE: NON ITA CENSUERUNT (ITEM REJECTED)<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Session Results==<br /> <br /> *Senators who did not vote in this session: ApCR.<br /> <br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; width=&quot;95%&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#993333; text-align:center; color:#ffffff;&quot; | Item nb.<br /> ! style=&quot;background:#993333; text-align:center; color:#ffffff;&quot; | Item title<br /> |-<br /> | style=&quot;text-align:center; font-size:8pt;&quot; | II<br /> | style=&quot;text-align:center; font-size:8pt;&quot; | [[Senatus consultum de officio auxilii civilis Novae Romae abolendo (Nova Roma)|Senatus consultum de officio auxilii civilis Novae Romae abolendo]]<br /> |-<br /> | style=&quot;text-align:center; font-size:8pt;&quot; | III<br /> | style=&quot;text-align:center; font-size:8pt;&quot; | [[Senatus consultum de conventibus publicis abrogando (Nova Roma)|Senatus consultum de conventibus publicis abrogando]]<br /> |-<br /> | style=&quot;text-align:center; font-size:8pt;&quot; | IV<br /> | style=&quot;text-align:center; font-size:8pt;&quot; | [[Senatus consultum de exemptione temporaria a relatione rationum publicarum hoc anno (Nova Roma)|Senatus consultum de exemptione temporaria a relatione rationum publicarum hoc anno]]<br /> |-<br /> | style=&quot;text-align:center; font-size:8pt;&quot; | V<br /> | style=&quot;text-align:center; font-size:8pt;&quot; | [[Senatus consultum de curatore aerarii creando (Nova Roma)|Senatus consultum de curatore aerarii creando]]<br /> |-<br /> | style=&quot;text-align:center; font-size:8pt;&quot; | VII<br /> | style=&quot;text-align:center; font-size:8pt;&quot; | [[Senatus consultum de tabulis tributorum (Nova Roma)|Senatus consultum de tabulis tributorum]]<br /> |-<br /> | style=&quot;text-align:center; font-size:8pt;&quot; | VIII<br /> | style=&quot;text-align:center; font-size:8pt;&quot; | [[Senatus consultum ultimum de ordine praecipuo negotiorum imperatori Cn.
