I am Gnaeus Cornelius
Lentulus, Hungarian, Nova Roman citizen of Pannonia Provincia. I study
as a graduate student in the most important Hungarian university in the Latin Department, i.e. of classical studies, Latin and Greek languages, Roman history, literature, philosophy, religion and ancient cultures. I have a quite well knowledge in these matters so I can designate myself as an expert of the Romanitas. Since I was child I felt myself Roman. When I was 16 I assumed the name Cn. Cornelius Lentulus together with my white toga virilis long before Nova Roma was burn, and I decided to live as a Roman and to do anything I could go nearer to the ancient Rome with. I have learned Latin I wore everyday Roman clothes at home etc... Later I founded a Roman reenactor association the Consociatio Hungarica Ad Rem Romanam Reficiundam, and I dreamed that someday I will find many people who think similarly to me and want to restore the Roman Republic. ...And, on Aprile 21 a year ago, I have found Nova Roma. I knew my dreams were realized: firstly I got in touch with Provincia Italia and experienced the orgainzation, then I joined in. In the first few months I didn't participate in the main list discussions, I kept the contact only with my italian friends, but later I joined in the Sodalitas Latinitatis and started to take part in the public life of our Republic. My provincia, Pannonia was in the worst condition at the time, so I decided to reorganize and make it a real community. On April 1 this year, the Senate appointed me as Propraetor of Pannonia and I started my work. If anybody is interested my propraetorial activities and real life events organized by me in the provioncia and the successes we have gained, You are invited to read my Edictum V. which contains the Annual Provincial Report of my Propraetorship: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nova-Roma/message/40066 I think this proves my ability to the Quaestorial duties. Besides my propraetorial duties I was appointed as Scriba of Aedilis L. Iulius Sulla and in this office I have organized the Ludi Megalenses Certamen Historcum (Historical Contest) during the Megalesia, and the Ludi Victoriae Sullanae Certamen Historicum. I am one of the two Senior Scriba of A. Tullia Scholastica, official Latin interpreter and Scriba of the Magister Aranearius C. Minucius Scaevola. Since this summer I was appointed as the Accensus of Consul Franciscus Apulus Caesar and worked together with his Consular Staff. I had take an active part in the Sodalitas Latinitatis this year. I was an Undecimvir ad diploma Sodalitatis Latinitatis Retractandum, member of the Charter Review Commission in which we have discussed about the new Charter of the sodalitas. I have participated in the Latin translation of the new Charter too. Besides these mostly virtual activities I have both organized and participated several reenactment events in Pannonia as Governor. According to my opinion the real life events and meeting of citizens to know better each other, are the heart of Nova Roma. I have met personally Nova Romans of other countries and in my provincia we organize a little meeting every second week at least. These activities are described in this document - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nova-Roma/message/40066 - I have mentioned above. As for my personal believes: I am an old practicioner of the Religio Romana, I practiced it long before I knew Nova Roma. So it is a very important element in my Romanitas and I think first and foremost of the authenticy of the prayers. You could see this from my public Latin prayers published on this ML since this April. I am not member of any political allience. I am a wholehearted republican, my ideals in the Roman political life are M. Tullius Cicero, P. Cornelius Lentulus Spinther, Q. Lutatius Catulus, L. Licinius Lucullus, M. Porcius Cato, L. Papirius Cursor, P. Cornelius Scipio and men thinking that way. I believe the total reconstruction of Rome as much as possible and reasonable. Quirites, on these grounds I would like to ask your votes for the Quaestura as my first step in the Cursus Honorum: I will do the best for You as I have done in my present offices - or if I can - will do better.
