Magistracies (Nova Roma)

Magistracies are the executive offices of Nova Roma. They can be classified in several ways.

Ordinary and Extraordinary Magistracies

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

• The Censura
• The Consulatus
• The Praetura
• The Aedilitas Curulis
• The Aedilitas Plebis
• The Quaestura

Although the Tribunatus Plebis is not technically classified as a magistracy, but in practice it is one of the ordinary magistracies.

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

• The Dictatura
• The Interregnum

Higher and Lower Magistracies

The higher magistracies are those which are most senior in rank. They are elected by the highest of the popular assemblies, the Comitia Centuriata, except for the Dictator, who is appointed by the Senate.
