Senatus consulta of a.d. IV Id. Sext. ‡ M. Metello D. Aurelio cos. ‡ MMDCCLXXIX a.u.c.

Senatus consultum de clarificatione senatus consultum de vestimentis et instrumentis publicis Novae Romae

I. Article III of the Senatus consultum de vestimentis et instrumentis publicis Novae Romae shall be modified to include these sentences at the end of the Article III:

"The committee established by this senatus consultum shall be called Senate Committee for Public Vestments and Equipment Development, its Latin name shall be Commissio Senatus ad Vestimenta et Instrumenta Publica Procuranda. The co-chairs lead the committee not by a capacity of a new office, but by their capacity as proconsul (consul), and as praefectus rei publicae et praetorio and provincial proquaestor (or quaestor), called to central duty. 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."

II. Article V shall be modified to include these sentences at the end of the Article V:

"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."

Senatus consultum de provinciis servandis aut amittendis

I. 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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Senatus consultum de Legione XXIV Media Atlantia traducenda

I. 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.

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.

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.

Senatus consulta of a.d. III Kal. Iun. ‡ M. Metello D. Aurelio cos. ‡ MMDCCLXXIX a.u.c.

Senatus consultum de officio auxilii civilis Novae Romae abolendo

A senatorial decree concerning the abolition of the Office of Civil Assistance of Nova Roma.

I. Established under the Senatus consultum de adiumento civibus nostris Sarmaticis, enacted on a.d. III Kal. Mar. Sex. Lucilio (II) A. Tullia (II) cos. (27 Feb, 2022), the Civilian Aid and Rescue Office of Nova Roma (Officium Auxilii Civilis Novae Romae) was created to support the citizens affected by the ongoing conflict in Provincia Sarmatia. This office has since fallen into disuse and the appointed praefectus has left the office.

II. Despite ongoing advertisement to the office and noting the significant duration of elapsed time, the ongoing establishment of this office is no longer tenable. As such, the senate hereby dissolves the office and the praefectus position. The senate or other magistrates may consider new concepts in the future.

Senatus consultum de conventibus publicis abrogando

A senatorial decree concerning the repeal of public assemblies.

I. Established under the senatus consultum de conventibus publicis, enacted on Non. Oct. ‡ P. Aurelio C. Flavio cos. ‡ MMDCCLXXVIII a.u.c. (7 Oct, 2025), the decree established a new appointment and a responsibility for the annual creation of an official calendar of events. Appointed to this role, as praeco editor Kalendarii Diurnalis, was censor C. Petronius Stephanus Turpilianus.

II. It came to light in the most recent senate session, that C. Petronius was not consulted for the role and subsequently does not have availability to carry out the required tasking. Taking into consideration the absence of an appointed official for the role, this decree hereby rescinds the senatus consultum de conventibus publicis. In addition to the lack of available appointment, the previous decree also issued advice to commence a large scale project of the development of a mobile application, among other "modern tools" without defining a scope, resources, requirements, budget, or schedule. As such, this leaves Nova Roma at considerable risk and it should be withdrawn immediately until better defined.

Senatus consultum de curatore aerarii creando

A senatorial decree concerning the appointment of a curator of the treasury.

I. Senator and imperator Publius Porcius Licinus has served as curator aerarii for many years. To support the future interests of P. Porcius and allow a distribution of corporate knowledge across Nova Roma, the senate is honorably releasing P. Porcius from the position of curator aerarii. The senate and the people of Nova Roma thank him for his loyal service.

II. The senate hereby appoints senator Publius Aurelius Barbatus as the new curator aerarii.

III. An exchange and handover period of three (3) nundinae is set from the enactment of this decree to enable transition of ownership of accounts and support other administration necessary for the handover of this role.

Senatus consultum de tabulis tributorum

Decree concerning the records of taxpayers

I. Nova Roma has struggled to reflect the correct tax payment status of citizens, within a sufficient time frame, for numerous years. Many citizens have expressed concerns that they have received no acknowledgment of their tax payment status. Although Nova Roma custom and law automatically affords the correct status to those citizens from the moment they pay, citizens have expressed the need for tangible receipt and acknowledgment of their tax payment and their status. If Nova Roma considers itself a viable organization operating with integrity, and that it respects its tax paying citizens, the senate hereby implements the necessary procedural enforcement. Nova Roma also has an obligation under numerous macro-national jurisdictions to provide receipts of payment.

II. This decree mandates ongoing activities for both acknowledgment and record keeping measures concerning funds paid to Nova Roma:

A. With oversight from the curator aerarii, the quaestores aerarii or treasury account managers (as defined by senatus consultum de quaestoribus aerariis constituendis) must provide acknowledgment of any funds paid to Nova Roma, to the paying individual, within one nundinium. The acknowledgment may be as simple as an email to the paying individual (it does not have to be a typed or printed receipt), but the correspondence must record the amount paid and on what date it was paid on.

B. With oversight from the curator aerarii, the quaestores aerarii or treasury account managers (as defined by senatus consultum de quaestoribus aerariis constituendis) must provide a report of tax payers (noting what they paid) to the appropriate officers in the Officium Censorium, at a minimum of once a month, so they may update the tax payment status on the Album Civium. Noting they have to provide acknowledgment to a paying citizen, they should carbon-copy the censorial staff in the same email correspondence.

III. With the enactment of this decree, the quaestores aerarii, or treasury account managers as appropriate, must provide a notification to all citizens who have paid funds to Nova Roma since Kal. Ian. of M. Metello D. Aurelio cos. within 4 nundinae. This should also include a report or copied correspondence to the appropriate officer(s) Officium Censorium. The quaestores aerarii, or treasury account managers then must maintain their obligations in accordance with article II going forwards.

IV. As is already stipulated in law, the Officium Censorium is obligated to make an update the Album Civium once informed or requested of a necessary change. Upon receiving notice from the quaestores aerarii or treasury account managers, the assigned staff of the Officium Censorium must update the tax payment status of a citizen in the Album Civium within a nundinium.

V. Voting rolls must be updated at the time Album Civium records are updated, in congruence with other legalisation defined elsewhere in law. The tribe and century rolls must be made available to the censorial staff carrying out these updates.

Senatus consultum de ordine novo tributorum exigendorum

Decree concerning a new ordering of tax collection

I. As already approved under the senatus consultum passed in prid. Kal. Sept. ‡ Cn. Salvio Cn. Equitio cos. ‡ MMDCCLVII a.u.c. so titled "...establish a European bank account that will allow easier fund transfers", and in congruence with article VIII of the senatus consultum de tributis perpetuis a.d. III Kal. Feb. ‡ M. Metello D. Aurelio cos. ‡ MMDCCLXXIX a.u.c., the decree hereby instructs the curator aerarii to establish a European-based bank account in the name of Nova Roma.

II. The curator aerarii is to identify and instruct one of the existing quaestores aerarii or an appointed treasury account manager (so defined under the senatus consultum de quaestoribus aerariis constituendis), to establish a bank account that can be used to accept tax-payer payments through the standard Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) payment method, a Euro denominated account, accepting Euro transfers without fees. The active account should have no ongoing fees or at least be minimal. The account should be in the name of Nova Roma Inc. As required, a consul may be approached and is instructed to produce a supporting formal signed letter, that will support this decree (acting as the official board-of-directors minutes), allowing the appointed individual to open an account in the name of Nova Roma.

III. Ensuring to meet the conditions of article IV.C of the senatus consultum de quaestoribus aerariis constituendis, the curator aerarii is pre-approved by the senate to appoint a new treasury account manager, if the curator deems it necessary, that lives within the European Union, if one of the existing quaestores aerarii, or the curator themselves, are not suitable or unable to support this task. The curator is to inform the consuls and the praefectus rei publicae administrandae of any such appointment.

IV. The new EUR account is to be established within two months of the enactment of this decree. This decree excuses the processing times that may occur as a result of the banking institution.

V. Acknowledging the new accepted currency to pay transfer funds to Nova Roma, the senate stipulates the following fixed rates citizens may elect to pay their taxes. These rates are based on the exchange rates of the day but will remain fixed. The defined European rates for tax payment are as follows and are to be published alongside current tax information, once the new account is accepting payments:

A. tributum capitis: €8

B. full basic tax: €13

C. discounted treasury tribune tax: €23

D. full treasury tribune tax: €38

E. discounted equestrian tax: €69

F. full equestrian tax: €115

VI. If the curator aerarii and his appointees are unable to establish an account in the given time, they are to produce a short report to the consuls for further consideration by the senate. The report should include:

A. What banking institutions were approached.

B. What documentation was provided to the institutions and what additional documentation was sought.

C. What local laws or legislation, or banking policy, prohibited the account establishment.

D. What prohibitive fees discouraged the account establishment and if there were any avenues to avoid these.

E. Anything else considered relevant.

Senatus consulta of a.d. III Kal. Feb. ‡ M. Metello D. Aurelio cos. ‡ MMDCCLXXIX a.u.c.

Senatus consultum de tributis perpetuis

New ongoing tax payment requirements

I. Historically, consecutive bodies of the senate have opted for posting an annual tax rate each year. Through time, Nova Roma has faced delays to the tax payment cycle due to bureaucratic delays in the senate. Since the actual tax rate has undergone minimal changes over the last several years, the annual decree of the same tax rate has become redundant and adds unnecessary delays to the tax payment process.

II. With this decree, the senate posts the following permanent taxation system. This does not preclude the senate from changing the tax rate in the future, it merely, enables an ongoing continuous cycle, until such time the senate deems it needs to change once more.

III. The lex Cornelia Domitia de re publica constituenda stipulates that each citizen shall have the optional duty to pay taxes and to perform the munus militiae (ceremonial and reenactment military service for Nova Roma) which shall be redeemable by alternative solutions, regulated by law. Nova Roman citizens who wish to gain or maintain assiduus status shall contribute both the tributum capitis (basic tax) and the munus militia (military service). Only those citizens who satisfy both criteria will be classified as an "assiduus" (taxpayer).

A. The basic tax: tributum capitis. The basic citizen tax is required from all citizens who wish to gain or maintain assiduus status - regardless of their service in the Nova Roman legions. All citizens who wish to maintain assiduus status shall contribute a donation of at least $9 USD to the Nova Roman Treasury.

B. Military service or contribution: The munus militiae and the tributum militare. There shall be two possible ways to perform the munus militiae: participation in the legions of Nova Roma (see III.B.i) or by a financial donation in support the legions of Nova Roma (see III.B.ii). Citizens who wish to maintain assiduus status shall perform the munus militiae in one of these ways:

i. A Nova Roman citizen who holds membership in a Nova Roman legionary reenactment group (munus militiae). This can include roles in the capacity as a civilian, wearing civilian clothing, or as a military member under rank and wearing of armoured equipment. This applies equally to men and women, undertaking any role as an official member of a Nova Roman legionary reenactment group, of any affiliation category.

ii. A Nova Roman citizen who pays a donation (tributum militare) to the Nova Roman treasury. A Nova Roman citizen who does not or cannot serve in a Nova Roman legionary reenactment group may instead donate to the Nova Roman treasury at the same time when paying the basic tax. The tributum militare shall be $6 USD.

C. Clarification of the amount to be paid.

The regulations above mean that a citizen who is a member of a Nova Roman legion (either in civilian clothing or military clothing) shall contribute at least $9 USD; but a citizen who is not a member in any of the affiliated legions of Nova Roma shall donate at least $15 USD (includes the components of $9 tributum capitis + $6 tributum militare). A Roman military reenactor citizen who belongs to a legion which is not affiliated to Nova Roma (and consequently does not serve within Nova Roman military) shall perform the munus militiae to Nova Roma by paying the tributum militare which means that their tax is also $15 USD.

IV. Special Privileges for Larger Donations. For donations to the Nova Roman treasury exceeding certain thresholds, a Nova Roman citizen can gain additional privileges and status that includes the tribunus aerarius equestris and the eques equo privato.

A. Citizens donating $45 USD in total will be recognized as preliminary members of the equestrian order with the title “tribunus aerarius equestris” (equestrian treasury tribune), and will receive 25 Census Points (which can elevate a citizen by one class). Officially recognized reenactors and Latinists are eligible for a discount, if proof is provided, allowing them to achieve this status with a donation of only $27 USD. A tribunus aerarius equestris, receives 25 Census Points and the clothing privileges of equestrians; however, no further privileges are afforded.

B. Citizens donating $135 USD in total will be recognized as full members of the equestrian order with the title “eques equo privato” (an equestrian serving on his own horse, also known as a private knight), and will receive 400 Census Points which is an immediate elevation to the First Class. Officially recognized reenactors and Latinists are eligible for a discount, if proof is provided, allowing them achieve this status with a donation of only $81 USD.

V. Definition of Reenactors and Latinists. As described above, Nova Roma acknowledges contributions from citizens with certain skills and contributions.

A. Reenactors can be recognized as such by presenting photographic evidence (if requested) to the quaestores aerarii, the curator aerarii or a member of the Censorial Office. It is in the power of the Censorial Office to accept the evidence and to register the name of the reenactment group where they belong. Reenactors applying for this reduction agree that the presented photographs can be used in publications of the websites and internet pages of Nova Roma.

B. Latinists can be recognized as such with a certification, obtained through a Latin examination by a Nova Roman educational institution. Recognition may also be granted by presenting educational transcripts or certificates from an institution outside Nova Roma, which proves Latin fluency in writing, to the quaestores aerarii, the curator aerarii or to the Censorial Office. It is in the power of the Censorial Office to accept the evidence or to assign the task of examination to a Nova Roman committee of Latin teachers who shall decide if the applicant for the status of Latinist may be qualified as having Latin fluency in writing.

VI. Tax year and payment schedule. Standard tax (financial) year. A tax year is defined as Kal. Ian. to pr. Kal. Ian. (1 January – 31 December). In order for a citizen to achieve the status of assiduus, tribunus aerarius equestris, or eques equo privato, applicable from Kal. Ian. (1 January), they must make the applicable donation prior to the end of pr. Kal. Ian. (31 December), Rome time. Although citizens can pay their tax in January, public calls for taxpayment should only be started from February.

A. Payment periods. With the exception noted in article VI.B, late tax donations can only be made up to the end of the pr. Kal. Ian. (31 December), Rome time. Any tax donations made after this time are assumed to be for the new tax period. It is not possible for citizens to pay for any next tax period in advance. These are the specific periods of a tax year with escalating consequences of late payment or non-payment:

i. Normal tax payment period. Taxes in any given tax year are due by the pr. Kal. Quint (30 June). Citizens who pay by the pr. Kal. Quint (30 June) are considered having paid the annual tax in a timely manner.

ii. Tax payment grace period. Citizens who fail to make a payment by the pr. Kal. Quint (30 June) are still permitted to pay the tax donation. Citizens who make a tax payment prior to pr. Kal. Nov. (31 October) are required to pay double the normal rate of the tributum capitis, equating to a minimum of $18 USD. This applies to all citizens paying during this period, whether they are required to pay the munus militia or not. There is no late fee for citizens electing to pay the rates of a tribunus aerarius equestris, or eques equo privato after pr. Kal. Quint (30 Jun).

iii. Tax payment penalty period. Citizens who also fail to make a payment by the pr. Kal. Nov. (31 October) are still permitted to pay the tax donation for the current tax year. Citizens who make a tax payment prior to pr. Kal. Ian. (31 December) are required to pay double the normal rate of the tributum capitis, equating to a minimum of $18 USD, and are subject to the penalties described in article VII.

B. New Citizens. Citizens who join after the pr. Kal. Quint. (30 June) in any given year who wish to pay the voluntary tax donation, for any current tax period, may do so without attracting the late fee.

VII. Conditions of non-tax payment. Citizens who don't contribute the voluntary tax donations as described above, by the end of pr. Kal. Quint (30 June), in any given tax period, will be classified as capite censi on Kal. Nov. (1 November). Citizens remain entitled to recover assisuus status by payment of the voluntary tax until pr. Kal. Ian. (31 December).

A. Citizens classified as capite censi will automatically lose any state positions, offices and titles they hold that require assiduus status, including senatorial or equestrian status on the Kal. Nov. (1 November). The lost state positions, offices and titles will be automatically restored, with the exception of elected magistracies, governorships and appointed state commissioner positions, when the late payment is made (without any time break noted in the records) but only until the pr. Kal. Ian. (31 December) within the specific tax period. Congruent with other Nova Roman law, only those citizens who have already paid the tax donation for the current tax period are allowed to nominate as a candidate in an election for public office, be appointed to any public office and be appointed to any priesthood.

B. If provisioned under Nova Roman law, citizens who previously held an assiduus status, who are reclassified as capite censi at any time, may be subject to Census Point penalties applicable to a negligence in tax payment. When such penalties are applied are determined by the laws that detail such penalties and not by this decree.

VIII. Method of voluntary tax collection. This decree does not mandate a method or methods of collecting the voluntary tax payments. The determination is to be made by the curator aerarii, with recommended consultation with the quaestores aerarii as needed. Such determination must be made prior to the yearly public calls for taxpayment in February, in accordance with article VI. The senate itself may mandate a new method or methods at any time. In the first instance when this decree comes into effect, the previous extant method shall be used.

IX. Changing the tax rates. If the senate wishes to change the tax rates in the future, it should publish the new rates no later than in the month of February. The consuls are ordered to declare an edict as soon as practicable for the citizens to cease tax payments, until such time the new tax rates are decreed by the senate.

Senatus consultum de foro ordinationis retis publici constituendo

Creation of a central coordination forum for website administration

I. The Nova Roman official website is a critical record and comprehensive album of our history, current administration and events. Presently, the Curator rei Informaticae still intends to administer the website as a true wiki concept; a communal online presence that all citizens can contribute to.

II. With more citizens seeking to add and contribute to the Nova Roman wiki, the management of content and patrolling of new edits becomes increasingly important. The Officium Rei Informaticae has limited resourcing to manage the increasing editorial traffic, and so the annually elected quattuorviri rerum curandarum play an important role in helping to manage the Nova Roman wiki.

III. This senatus consultum directs the quattuorviri rerum curandarum to collegiately create an online central coordination forum. This forum is to include, not only the quattuorviri rerum curandarum, but is to also include the praetores or their representatives, the Curator rei Informaticae and their selected staff, as well as any additional staff required by the aediles.

IV. The forum is to be used to coordinate and synchronise editing and reviews of website pages and edits. With each new year, permanent apparitor staff and the Curator rei Infomaticae will add and remove the quattuorviri rerum curandarum and praetores as they are elected.

V. The senate directs that the coordination forum is established using the Groups.io service. An alternative may be proposed so long it is approved by the Curator rei Informaticae. This forum is to be established no later than the Kal. Mar.

Senatus consultum de quaestoribus aerariis constituendis

Appointment of the treasury quaestors

I. According to article IV.A.6 of the Lex Cornelia Domitia de re publica constituenda, the senate appoints two elected quaestores to be the treasury quaestores (quaestores aerarii) for the term. This decree also seeks to set the ongoing management and account ownership of Nova Roman treasury accounts.

II. With this senatus consultum, the senate appoints Tita Popillia Laenas and Aulus Vitellius Celsus as quaestores aerarii.

III. They are to report to the consuls and the curator aerarii. The curator is to ensure at least one of the quaestores aerarii also has the access necessary to the Nova Roman financial institutions where our finances are stored and managed. This access arrangement is to continue past the term of (one or both of) the quaestor aerarii of the current year M. Metello D. Aurelio coss. (2026). If not already done so, the curator is to perform a password update and ensure the required officers have the new access. To ensure security, this access update is to occur anytime Officium Aerarii appointments change in any way.

IV. With this decree, once the term of the quaestores aerarii expires, the expiring quaestores aerarii will automatically be appointed as treasury account managers, remaining members of the Officium Aerarii. The quaestores aerarii may also seek re-election as quaestors, and if successful, will automatically retain their appointment as quaestores aerarii instead. Treasury account managers have the following restrictions:

A. Unlike the quaestores aerarii and curator aerarii, who have the full authority to move or disperse funds based from accounts based on senate approval, treasury account managers are only permitted access to any one account at a time (if there are multiple) and posses no ability to move or modify funds without the explicit order from the curator aerarii or one of the quaestores aerarii (if they also exist simultaneously). Treasury account managers can still remain owners of accounts, as well as have access.

B. When more than one Nova Roman treasury account exists, the curator aerarii is responsible to ensure access is dispersed between the treasury account managers, still meeting the intent in article III.

C. The senate may even add or remove other members to the Officium Aerarii at any time, as a treasury account manager; however, they must be a current or former quaestor.

D. If the senate ever appoints new treasury account managers, or new treasury account managers are automatically appointed as per article IV, non-continuing treasury account managers automatically lose their appointments within 2 months, time to aid transition arrangements. The curator aerarii is to transition account access and ownership accordingly, as per article III. Ownership transition extensions must be explicitly requested by the curator aerarii and granted by the senate.

E. Treasury account managers will adopt the name scriba quaestorius aerarii.

Senatus consultum de cura insignis sive logotypi macronationalis Novae Romae iterum constituenda

Abolishment of the Trademark Protection Task Force

I. Established under the Senatus consultum de insigni sive logotypo Nova Romae macronationaliter renovando et protegendo, enacted on a.d. VII Id. Apr. C. Cethego Q. Arrio (IV) cos. (7 April, 2023) the Nova Roma Trademark Protection Task Force (Commissio Executiva Ad Insigne Novae Romae Protegendum) was created to manage the trademark of Nova Roma.

II. This taskforce has become defunct and has failed to produce traceable activities to the senate. An entire taskforce is also unnecessary and labours already overburdened officers like the Praefectus rei Publicae Administrandae. With this senatus consultum, the taskforce is hereby abolished.

III. The duties and responsibilities of the ongoing management of the Nova Roman trademark are to remain the sole responsibility of the Curator Aerarii. The status of our trademark is to be reported on with other reporting obligations to the senate already stipulated under law. The Curator alone is able to expend the necessary funds to ensure the trademark remains registered in necessary global jurisdictions. The Curator is encouraged to seek advice from the senate when expenditure obligations become unclear.

IV. This senatus consultum does not preclude the curator from seeking assistance from subject matter experts. The Curator is also permitted to exercise assistance from the quaestores aerarii as so permitted under law.

Artorius Praeconinus to use signs and pictures in stately possession and control, for the purpose to produce and sell goods under formulated conditions.

Senatus consultum de Senatus Consulto Ultimo obsoleto de situ internetuali Novae Romae abrogando

Repeal of directive for the Curator rei Informaticae

I. Established under the Senatus consultum ultimum de situ internetuali Novae Romae, enacted on a.d. XI Kal. Quint. Q. Arrio (III) A. Tullia cos. (21 June, 2021), this decree levied obligations on the Curator rei Informaticae to centralize, modernize and bring all digital infrastructure under Republic control. It is to be noted for the senate that the original Senatus consultum ultimum has now naturally deescalated to a standard Senatus consultum, as determined by law.

II. Although, control of assets was achieved, the website made functional and accessible, other mandates were not achieved or only partially achieved. For curator reporting that was submitted, senatorial archives already contain reports I-IV. All reports received are attached as an appendix to this SC.

III. With this senatus consultum, the senate hereby rescinds the original senatus consultum. Firstly, the senate acknowledges that the decree has now been overtaken by events. New reporting from the curator, under new decrees, are due shortly which may consider entirely new website platforms. The senate also acknowledges that through estoppel, the senate and other authorities failed to enforce the requirements. The senate also acknowledges that they overburdened the citizen assigned as curator with numerous other governmental roles, and as such, the senate holds the accountability. The curator rei informaticae is absolved of all conditions not met in the original decree.

IV. At this time, the curator rei informaticae shall continue to appoint and chair a committee of IT scribes (and potentially officers with other titles) to revise the homepage and digital services of the main webpage to bring them up to date with modern technology and standards (as best as possible) to better draw in more new citizens. This should include efforts to refine for SEO (Search Engine Optimized). The committee should include at least three appointed members besides the curator rei informaticae. The curator rei informaticae shall ensure that there are always multiple trusted officers with administrative access to our online assets to prevent any loss of access by the res publica. The curator is directed to maintain sustainment and fault correction of our current IT assets while considering modern platform replacements in the IT committee.

V. Once new reporting is received under Senatus Consultum De Initiativa Reformationis Situs Novae Romae, the senate will review ongoing website requirements and explore new platform solutions at that time. Additional ad-hoc reporting may be stipulated by consular or senate order but otherwise all other previous ongoing reporting is no longer required. The curator rei informaticae is required to submit a report within two nundina after such an order is made.
