File requests for the Censores here

Salve Alba!

Many thanks for the advice, nevertheless I tried it before a few months ago, off course. In spam folder nothing and I also turned off all filters in email.
But still nothing. And as I said. I am not the only one. Several other citizens have the same problem, for example Paullus Aemilius Gallus (Raetia) and Lucius
Claudius Caesar (without province – Indonesia).

Vale!

We are sorry to see you go, amice. We wish you the best down the road you walk. 🙂 May you find nothing but good fortune

I, Tiberius Servilius Nerva, ask the quaestors to change my nominee from Servilius to Flavius.

‘Caeliomontanus’ is a terrible cognomen; a fact which I’ve valiantly struggled to ignore but can no longer. I would appreciate it if the Censors would be so kind as to change it to ‘Symphorianus’, which I think flows nicely off the tongue.

Brutus cen. sal.

The name change is complete.

Salvete Censores,

I have moved from Virginia to Eria a few months back. I have updated my personal profile to reflect the change, however, it still shows my province as Virginia.

May I please have it changed to Eria? Many thanks.

Valete.

Salve Censor

The province I live is Nova Hispania Citerior, and my profile says I’m in Nova Hispania Ulterior. I humbly ask for this to be changed correctly.

Thank you

Salvete Censores!

For my friend who would like to be a member of RR I am asking for listing of cognomen "Palla".

Valete bene!

Salve Censor Curio!

I know. There is one record for it. And this cognomen you can choose in Nova Roma. So it can not be ahistorical.

Vale bene!

Many of NR’s naming practices are horrible. I would not use that fact as a source of legitimacy.

Au contraire, mes amis. NR’s nomenclature practices, like those of some reenactment legions, were indeed pretty ghastly in its early days–but some years ago better-disposed censors and some genuine Latinists (as opposed to those who may have had some Latin, but had forgotten too much) conducted extensive research into Roman nomenclature. The NR nomenclature pages are based on said research into such works as the Pauly, the Fasti Consulares, and several more modern tomes on this subject. Finnish scholars are especially fond of nomenclature, and have written several books on Roman nomenclature. Fortunately for most of us, they are not in Finnish, but German or English (or Latin). The censura might like to consult Mika Kajava, "Roman Female Praenomina," Heikki Solin, "Namenpaare: eine Studie zur Römischen Namengebunge," [spelling of last word uncertain], Heikki Solin, and Olli Salomies, "Repertorium nominum gentilium et cognominum Latinorum," W. Schulze, "Zur Geschichte Lateinischer Eigennamen," Olli Salomies, " Adoptive and Polyonomous Nomenclature in the Roman Empire," H. Solin and O. Salomies, "Die Römischen Vornamen," W. Schultze, "Die Jungsten Schichten der Gentilnamensbildung," etc., though these might be hard to find.

Thus it is that NR’s nomenclature pages are based on these and other scholarly references, and are quite accurate. My personal references do not list ‘Palla’ as a cognomen, but there are similar ones, and those such as ‘Pulcher,’ which do not follow the usual instructions in these matters, i.e., that cognomina should be uncomplimentary, refer to unusual physical features or to animals, etc. NR allows the names of occupations as well as toponyms if one no longer lives in the area in question, plus Latinizations of one’s own name (but of ONLY one name), though it forbids the names or titles of deities and highly complimentary names such as ‘Maximus’ or ‘Augustus.’ The living Latin courses I taught required the students surviving to Lesson 40 to take a Roman name or to Latinize all of their names, largely under the supervision of a senior Latinist quite interested in nomenclature, so my own interest in this topic has been enhanced by all of the above.

Obiter, this group allows archaic (and other) praenomina not allowed in NR, or other groups, which might provoke as much laughter from the knowledgeable as do / did the very early NR names formed by adding a Latin termination to anything which sounded vaguely Latin. Much the same could be said about the names chosen by some reenactment legionaries, but those preferring authenticity will go for genuine Roman names, not something bearing a very minimal resemblance thereto.

Valete!

Eheu! Silly me, I didn’t click the ‘return to merchant’ button :/ Which it seems is something of a requirement; which I only now find out *after* I donated a small sum to see if the denarii would be added. So if somebody could fix my tax status and give me my 45 denarii, that’d be great.

Salve! Я бы хотел изменить третью часть моего имени. Я бы хотел, сменить Мерула на Меркурий, в честь Бога Меркурия.
