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.
