AAe Praetorium

Provincial Government

A Provincia (Province) is created by the Senate, which also appoints a governor (Propraetor) to administer it. The Senate may also appoint a Quaestor to assist the governor in financial matters. Provincial governors hold the power of Imperium withion their provincia and have the honor of being preceded by six lictors. They are responsible for the day to day administration of their provincia and may appoint both legati and scribae to assist them. Finally, they have the authority "To proclaim those edictae necessary to engage in those tasks which advance the mission and function of Nova Roma, solely within the jurisdiction of their provincia." The title of a governor varies depending on his or her position along the Cursus Honorum. Acting consuls and praetors are called by their current title. Ex-consuls aree referred to as proconsuls. Ex-praetors and other citizens holding the office of governor are called propraetors.

Provincial Praetorium

The Praetorium is the office of the propraetor, or governor, of a Nova Roman province. The current Provincial Praetorium is located in Nashville, Tennessee Regio, Provincia America Austrorientalis, America Septentrionalis. The Propraetor America Austrorientalis is assisted by a staff like that of a present day government.

Concilium Provincia

For administrative purposes, the Provincia America Austrorientalis is divided into five Regiones, each of which is assigned a Preafectus Regio (Rank of Legate), who deals with the day-to-day running of his or her Regio. The Concilium Provincia consists of all Praefectii Regiones appointed to provincial offices. The Concilium Provincia keeps the Propraetor informed of the conditions in the Provincia and offers their advice to the Propraetor.

Cohors Propraetoris

The staff personnel of the Praetorium, Cohors Propraetoris, handle areas like the treasury, the military, interprovincial relations, and public games and gatherings. The Cohors Propraetoris consists of all the assistants (legati and scribae) of the Propraetor America Austrorientalis.

All members (Legati and Consiliari) of the Consilium Provincia are part of the inner circle of the Cohors Propraetoris. All other officials appointed by the Propraetor are parts of the outer circle of the Cohors Propraetoris. This does not mean that they lack in importance. On the contrary, they each have an important field of responsibility.

The whole Cohors Propraetoris is the modern equivalent of the followers of the provincial Governor of Roma Antiqua. The Propraetor's retinue was in many respects a military one; they all acted in a foreign country that could be hostile. We will also act in a non-Roman country, but let's hope that it isn't a hostile one ;-)

As the governors of the old days, the Propraetor expects a certain loyalty, discipline and unity from the Cohors Propraetoris. The members of the Consilium Provincia should, as a kind of General's staff, set an example in this and all Roman behavior to the rest of the Cohors Propraetoris.
