+
L. Sicinius Drusus became a Roman citizen {{Dec 28}} {{2000}} | (28 Dec 2000 CE).  A proponent of close adherence to Roman practice (though he was sometimes criticized as applying this principle inconsistently in practice), he became a significant public figure and a prominent member of the group which called itself the [[Boni (Nova Roma)|''boni'']].  Though he never secured election to any magistracy, he was influential among his political allies and drafted a number of legislative proposals, and became a senator {{2002}} | (2002 CE).
 +
 
 +
Early in the year {{2004}} | (2004 CE) he was the subject of a ''nota'' issued by ''censores'' [[Caeso Fabius Buteo Quintilianus (Nova Roma)|K. Fabius Quintilianus]] and [[Marcus Octavius Gracchus (Nova Roma)|M. Octavius Germanicus]].  This ''nota'' was subsequently withdrawn.  It later emerged that this was the result of a negotiated deal in which, for his part, L. Sicinius had sworn (among other things) not to attend meetings of the senate for nine months and to "remain civil and courteous" in public fora.  He also agreed to suffer expulsion from Nova Roma if he breached the agreement.  Later that year he was accused of breaking this agreement, but the ''consul'' [[Gnaeus Equitius Marinus (Nova Roma)|Cn. Equitius Marinus]] rejected calls for him to expel L. Sicinius, ruling that the agreement was a contract in private law and could only be enforced by an ordinary action by a party to the contract.  The matter was never brought to court, but L. Sicinius has not participated in public life since.
 +
 
 +
L. Sicinius was removed from the senate by the ''censores'' {{Dec 31}} {{2005}} | (31 Dec 2005 CE).

Upon the establishment of the provincia, it was determined that the dieties for the provincia would be Pater Mars, Diana, and the Capitoline Triad. Lucius Sicinius Drusus issued the following edictum in regards to the Patron Dieties of the Provincia in Fl. Vedio (II) M. Cassio (II) cos. ‡ MMDCCLIV a.u.c./(2001 CE):

Whereas, our Provincia has a long and proud history of Military Service, to the United States, and to the Confederacy. Whereas, many of our citizens are members of Legions. Whereas, agriculture is a mainstay of our provincial economy. We shall ask Pater Mars to be our primary patron, for it is Pater Mars, who keeps our fields abundant and protects our Legions.

Whereas, America Austrorientalis is a land of great natural beauty. Whereas, Her people have a long history of enjoying the gifts of nature. Whereas, our Provincia is home to the Spaceport from which men first left the Earth to go to the Moon. It is proper that we ask Diana, Goddess of the Moon and of Natural places, the divine huntress to watch over us as one of our patron Goddesses.

Whereas, we are a Nova Roman Province, it is proper for us to pay honor to the Capitoline Triad as our patrons. Iuppiter Optimus Maximus, Ruler of the Gods and men, who watches over our Nation and our province, Iuno, who protects our families, and Minerva, who gives us the wisdom we need in our endeavors.
