Edictum censorium de maximis punctibus activitatis censis


Preamble. The lex Arria de censu civium aestimando instructs the censors to issue Activity Census Points to recognize accomplishments "increasing the reputation of Nova Roma" (III.E.4). The lex cites examples which kinds of achievements may be recognized: "a publisher of a high quality website on Roman studies, an author of book, film, renown blog, high quality production, or program. This recognition shall be given to citizens whose association to Nova Roma can make Nova Roma more famous and more respected. Such recognition shall be entirely within the judgement of the censors collegiately." It shall be noted that the censors cannot give these Activity Census Points for Serious Accomplishment in Romanitas for the same achievement that was once prized at the previous Census even if the individual in question continued or repeated the same accomplishment. One accomplishment may be recognized only once with these Activity Census Points.

In light of the above, the censors give the 30 Activity Census Points for Serious Accomplishment in Romanitas to the following citizens as part of the current Census at this time:

I. Cn. Cornelius Lentulus, for organizing, coreographing and conducting the first complete and academically researched modern era Roman triumph in Savaria (Savaria Történelmi Karnevál, 2023), with a closing ceremony in Rome (Natale di Roma, 2024), with scholarly reconstructed ornamenta triumphalia, Latin trochaic tetrameter triumphal songs, painted boards announcing the details of the victory, triumphal ferculum, specially instructed and dressed musicians and captives.

III. Gaius Flavius Constantinus Aeneas Stilicho, for his widely respected educational work in social media with his TikTok channel "Flavius Stilicho" (https://www.tiktok.com/@flaviusstilicho) and to a lesser extent, on Instagram with "The Age of Constantine" channel, teaching about Roman history, reensactment and world view, becoming a renown public educator in social media, too, after his fame in the world in reenactment which was prized by previous censors.

IV. Gaius Petreius Reinhardus, for his very high quality historical reconstruction art works of jewelry, equipment and various accessories of the Roman and post-Roman era, sharing his knowledge and products thoughout our various provinces and events related to Nova Roma.

V. L. Decius Sebastianus Maiorianus, for his high quality and famous educational YouTube channel "Maiorianus" (https://www.youtube.com/@Maiorianus_Sebastian), spreading knowledge about Roman history, especially about a topic that is less known to the public, late antiquity.

VI. T. Antonius Cursor, for opening Areál Terra Felix, for starting the initial works to build a Roman fortress, Castellum Felix (https://legionari.eu/castellum-felix/) in our Provincia Marcomannia (Czechia), and by doing so, working towatfs the goals and founding principles of Nova Roma.

VII. A. Ocratius Maximus Gittus, for completing the principia (HQ) of Castra Ovum, which is the largest replica wooden Roman military building in the whole of Britain, making significant progress toward completing the entire fortress and its accompanying barbarian buildings around, and for founding and continuing the "Auxilia - Rome's Cutting Edge" Festival in his fortress, doing all this under extreme diffulties and despite personal tragedies.

CENSORES


Edictum censorium de moribus et operibus publicis

We, the elected censors of Nova Roma, with authority granted to us by the lex Cornelia Domitia de re publica constituenda, have the duty to safeguard the public morality, virtue, honor and decency through public admonition, and to review, evaluate and set the direction of the public works, properties and finances of the state between two censuses. To fulfill our legal duties and to finalise our work as censors in this elected term, we have evaluated the public works, properties and finances of Nova Roma as part of the current census, and as part of the closing acts of the Census, we proclaim the following edict:

I. Morals.

I.A. We, the censors, are generally content with the public morality of Nova Roma, and we encourage our fellow citizens to keep up this amicable, brotherly and very Roman spirit of unity and comradery that can be experienced in Nova Roma everywhere.
I.B. We should also warn our fellow citizens that hostility, rudeness and contempt of another Nova Roman citizen, or any individual of Roman identity, anyone who holds our Roman heritage dear, is not acceptable and is certainly not condoned by these or any future censors of Nova Roma. This is a warning to cease such behavior, if anyone recognizes himself, or the next censors will be forced to issue Censorial Reprimands in the future. We need to have a sense of unity in this small world of ours, Roman reconstructionists, we must appreciate anyone in this world who recreates Rome, whether they do it excellently, or poorly, if they do it, this is already a good thing, because they remind people of the name of Rome, and the idea of a better world.
I.C. We, the censors, determine and prescribe that politeness shall be the standard public behaviour in Nova Roma: each citizen shall publicly act in the supposition that every fellow citizen is here in good will and for the common good, the common goal. In this spirit, we are instructing the government of Nova Roma to enforce the following principles until review in the next Census:
I.C.1. Public civil discourse in all official or public forums of Nova Roma shall always be polite, respectful, amicable and good spirited. Strong disagreement is natural and healthy in the public debates of a republic, but it always shall be phrased in a respectful and kind manner in Nova Roma.
I.C.2. Stronger, especially emotionally sensitive religious, philosophical, ethical or political disagreements, whenever possible, should be discussed privately between citizens, or in private forums, within private circles. When they are discussed publicly (which should be allowed only if there is a very wide and intense public demand for their public discussion), hurtful and offensive statements shall be managed according to rigorous but fair moderation policies.
I.C.3. All activities and discussions that separate rather than unite the fellow Nova Roman citizens shall be pursued in private. Nova Roma shall provide a place for activities and discussions that facilitate cohesion and productivity, to build Nova Roma, and not to provide a place for self-serving debates and confrontation of views which do not advance the causes and mission of Nova Roma.
I.D. Government officers who will not enforce these principles, and notorious offenders of this set of rules, will face rigorous reprimands in form of censorial notae and other forms of retribution. Citizens acting in this spirit will be praised and awarded, those acting against this spirit will be chastised and punished.

II. Finances.

II.A. We, the censors, are reporting that the total financial reserves of Nova Roma amounts to $21,560 USD (with a degree of uncertainty due to an account's exact amount to be clarified). The Nova Roman Aerarium has three accounts, one managed by P. Porcius Licinus with approximately $1000 USD (current information was not available at the moment of publication), and two managed by quaestrix aerarii T. Popillia Laenas with one having $8,929 USD, and the other having $11,631 USD.
II.C. There have been only small expenses since the last census. The only transactions occurring were to maintain our registered legal representative in Maine and the cost of website maintenance. The only bigger transaction in this lustrum was the sponsorship of the XI Conventus of Nova Roma and the Natale di Roma festival, with 4000 EUR.
II.D. We, the censors, encourage that Nova Roma should continue the policy ordered by the previous censors, Q. Arrius Nauta, and P. Annaeus Constantinus Placidus. Nova Roma has a mission to accomplish and saved funds should be invested where we can advance our mission. We are content that the Senate and the People have introduced laws and measures as instructed in the previous edict of the last censors. We instruct the government of Nova Roma to follow the same direction in the next Lustrum, namely:
II.D.1. to support official state sacrifices, ceremonies and rituals financially which are public and for the benefit of all of Nova Roma.
II.D.2. to support the provinces to organize high quality events, and where possible, in support of reenactment. We define reenactment as the use of historically authentic Roman clothing and engaging in Roman activities, including: rituals, celebrations, military drills, gladiatorial or other theatrical-spectacular performances, banquets or even simple community moments and face-to-face meetings in historically authentic Roman clothing.
II.D.3. to support our legions and other reenactment groups who promote Nova Roma in return.
II.D.4. to continue the work of establishishing a central stock of ceremonial vestments, equipment and tools which magistrates, governors, priests and officers of Nova Roma can borrow and use.
II.F. Our magistrates shall implement and execute these financial policies, within these conditions and observing these principles. They shall make proposals to the senate for cases when senate approval is needed.

III. Properties.

III.A. Nova Roma has a main website, a Facebook page, a main official forum through Groups.io, a public forum through the Facebook group and Discord server, and an official Twitch Channel. Nova Roma also has a number of unofficial pages and forums (for example: Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, YouTube etc.) for publicity, for special interest groups, for our legions and other reenactment groups or for provincial purposes. These unofficial pages and forums are not under our purview.
III.B. We, the censors, instruct the magistrates and the government to continue the enhancement towards unified guidelines and moderation policies in all of our forums.
III.B.1. In keeping with our points in the Morals section of this edict, the aediles and all forum managers shall continue and strengthen the policy that all online discussion platforms, remain free from internal politics (with exception for the Forum Romanum), macronational politics, and any unpleasant or poorly toned debates.
III.B.2 The government shall review and evaluate the many unofficial pages and forums of Nova Roma and integrate them into the official system wherever it is permissible and logical to do so.
III.B.3. We recognize the successful completion of the order of the previous censors regarding the reconstructionist creation of the cohortes vigilum, cohortes praetores and cohortes rei publicae.

III.C. In keeping with our points in the Finances section of this edict, the magistrates, the governors and the senate of Nova Roma, shall develop the details of how to store the new authentic Roman vestments and accessories, which are public property, so that they can be easily accessible. They are to develop a financial assurance framework and system of cautions to issue and investigate those citizens who borrow them and fail to return them or pay for damaged property.

IV. Public projects and works.

IV.A. We, the censors, stipulate that the main direction of public activity, projects and works should focus on Roman living-history and Roman reenactment. Within the frame of these objectives, it is possible to conduct all activities desired by Nova Roma: festivals, rituals, ceremonies, celebrations, social meetings, educational and cultural programs and banquets. Since all ceremonial occasions of Nova Roma require Roman attire and authentic choreography, all of our public appearances fit in the category of living-history and reenactment. Another reason for this main direction is that these spectacular aspects of our public activities have the potential to be the best recruitment tool, and to become a reception of support by macronational authorities and institutions. This priority in our public works is further justified by the nature of the mission of Nova Roma which requires us to conduct Roman historical education, for which purpose living-history and reenactment have scientifically been demonstrated to be the best method. In light of this:
IV.A.1. we instruct our government, the aediles and governors in particular, that they do everything they can to make Nova Roma part of as many public Roman festivals as possible in our provinces and in Italy.
IV.A.2. we instruct the government of Nova Roma to support Roman camp, village or city building projects, which promote Nova Roma in return, with priority given to those that are managed or owned within Nova Roma itself.
IV.A.3. we instruct the government of Nova Roma to continue and expand our cooperation with Templum Project and to look for similar opportunities globally.
IV.A.4. we instruct the government of Nova Roma to develop a comprehensive Latin educational program within Nova Roma which would offer Latin education for citizens and non-citizens, and which could be used to generate revenue for Nova Roma and for employed teachers.
IV.A.5. we instruct the government of Nova Roma to support and give priority to Nova Roma media outlets, for example, to projects like our Twitch Channel. These are the best type of tool for fulfilling our mission of public education, recruitment and engaging our existing members.
IV.A.6. we instruct the government of Nova Roma to support the investment in more media attraction for Nova Roma. With the necessary financial approvals and senate oversight, the following four main audiences should be targeted with our media public service: Roman cultors, Roman reenactors, Latinists and classicists, and Roman history and archaeology enthusiasts.
IV.B. In order to reach the goals of Nova Roma, we need to be the best example of Roman reconstruction in the world. To this end, we instruct the government of Nova Roma to make the extra effort so that all of our Roman ceremonial vestments, reconstructed garments, armor, all of our reconstructions, living-history, and reenactment programs always undergo continuous improvement with the goal to become the best in the world, which is echoed through the approval of the wider public.

Edictum Consulare de Edictis Prioribus Constituendis in Initio Magistratus

Consular edict concerning the establishment of prior edicts at the beginning of the magistracy

I. In accordance with the Lex Arria de edictis, magistrates are required to confirm or revoke those edicta of their office predecessors before any new edicta can be issued. This edict is hereby issued to meet this legislative requirement. This comprehensive review has been conducted to not only ensure a high level of accuracy, it serves as a way to install confidence that the consuls place a high priority on good governance, but also to serve as a benchmark that will make it easier for current and future magistracies to understand all the current applicable law. We proclaim this edict prior to the calling of the Comitia Curiata.

II. The following consular edicta are considered “Lapsed”, no longer relevant, time expired, or overtaken by events. When considering an edict as lapsed, it does not nullify or revoke the original content but establishes that the edict is no longer active and enforceable. Lasped edicta become historical only, not part of a current body of law. It is not a requirement to articulate an edict as lapsed, but is done so for clarity and accuracy. The edicta judged to be lapsed are as follows:

Edictum Praetorium de Edictis Prioribus Constituendis in Initio Magistratus

I. As wrote our consul D. Aurelius Ingeniarius, in accordance with the Lex Arria de edictis, magistrates are required to confirm or revoke those edicta of their office predecessors before any new edicta can be issued. This edict is hereby issued to meet this legislative requirement. This comprehensive review has been conducted to not only ensure a high level of accuracy, it serves as a way to install confidence that the Praetors place a high priority on good governance, but also to serve as a benchmark that will make it easier for current and future magistracies to understand all the current applicable law. We proclaim this edict prior to the calling of the Comitia Curiata.

We, L. Calpurnius Bestia and D. Claudius Aquilinus Praetores declare to confirm as valid all active Praetorian edicts.
