Natale di Roma, Rome's Birthday!
by The Commonwealth of New Aglore
Not all cities celebrate their birthday... but Rome, 'born' in 753 BC, is no ordinary city. On the 21st of April, Rome will celebrate it's birthday with every Roman citizen! The bulk of the festivities take place at the Campidoglio. The city hall and the other palazzi on the hill are illuminated, and enormous quantities of fireworks are set off! Be sure to celebrate this special moment with 21st Century Rome!

The Parilia Festivity Arrives!

Inactivity Leads to Vacants in Government
The Roman Senate has recently congressed to pass a new law proposed by the Imperator, which establishes that all government officials that are declared inactive by the Censor at the ante diem XVIII Kalendas (the 27th day) of each month will have to resign from their position. But fear not fellow romans! This does not mean we will have to do without a government official for months, on the contrary, any position left vacant will be open for elections during the first day of each month. Of course, this new election will not alter the normal terms, the newly elected official will act as an interim and finish the term of the previous official. For example, if the Praetor were to be declared inactive by the Censor, their position would be open for elections and voted upon on the first day of Maius (May).
This system seams to be quite efficient as it will ensure that no officer lags behind on his duties, ensuring an efficient and more dynamic government to Rome.
