"Hail Caesar and his Regent
Salutem omnibus,
senatori, proconsuls , citizens and soldiers of Romanum, habitants and serv of Rom and noble colleagues and distinguished guests!
This is the 4th public session of the Senate, Anno 906 since-Founding-Rome, In the beginning.
The 14th year of the regency of our beloved Imperator Stephanus
Under the Presidency of the Regent Tybalt Galtier Caproni.
I'll say a few more words before we get to the sermon.
Last week we had to say goodbye to an old friend and companion of our Imperato, , Mercurius with a really moving funeral service
Let us remember those who have passed away from us and are now freed from the burden of earthly life to wander peacefully across the fields of Elysium.
But let us also remember those who, with tears and sweat of blood, have to endure a terrible war that a ruler here in Europe has brought over a neighboring country.
OREMUS"
LET US PRAY !!!!
“Illustrious son of Saturn and Ops, king of the gods, ruler over Olympus and the god of sky and thunder in myth. Great Protector of the Republic, I plead for Your blessings upon us and be with us.
O Great Father, protector of Rome and her People,
Finally we ask your blessing for your twin cities of Pompeii and Romanum..
May they co-exist in continued love and friendship
I am embarking on the most difficult journey of my life, and beg you to protect and guide us.
May my actions reflect well on the people I hold dear, and may I never bring disgrace or dishonor on my family, my friends and the Gods! Jupiter, father and guardian of mankind, descended from Saturnus, to You is given the care of our fate.
Whatever path You have chosen for us, I will follow. Whatever my destiny, we will accept. I fear not the winding road before me, for you have laid it down for me. I fear not the darkness of the unknown, for your hand will guide me. I fear not the silence, for your voice speaks inside us"

I. INTERNAL SENATE MATTERS
a. Regent - Statements
The Regent thanked Ejix, Petrus, Tony and the Imperator for the Mercurivs memorial service, special and heartfelt.
The Regent continued by saying that the Mercurivs statue was placed in the forum to honor the First Citizen of Romanum. Memorial items placed in that place may remain. It is believed that the Imperator will work with the Karu family to retain important legacy items and assets in Romanum III. The Regent added that the First Citizen, Mercurivs, was a great man and will be missed.
The Regent then moved onto Sim news:
The Regent thanked Ariel for his work on the Navy Project and the Floralia event. Also Adjid was thanked for his support in Romanum II.
Boby has been installed as Flamen Legatus for Bacchus and Jerome retained as Flamen for Bacchus.
Special events are in the planning stage.
Additionally, there is an ocean front property and two villas available for rent on Romanum III.
Adjid mentioned that the Bacchus temple may be interested in assisting in the Romanum II rental costs. This led to further discussion on the events at the Bacchus Temple.
The Regent advised the meeting that Romanum II is a Coop & Empire land for public use, things Like navy, conference center, Bacchus and Ariel's new park. ( Ariel, Adjid, Regent and Tony are responsible for rental )
The question was raised if the Gladiator Appreciation dance would return to the Bacchus temple site or remain in the Rvins. Ultimately, it was determined that this will be left for the Host and DJ to decide. It was pointed out by the Regent that the Rvins site has the advantage of being a sky-box and more suitable for OOC friends to visit.
Senator Tiberivs mentioned the need for regular events at the Bacchus Temple. Bacchus Flamen Legatus Boby mentioned that now the foundation is in place, there is still the need for dance balls and other items to be set up around the pool.
II. RELIGIOUS LIFE
The Pontifex Maximus stated that "the religious life in Rome is dragging along a bit laboriously, although we have finally succeeded in inaugurating the Bacchus temple, the Flamen Legatus is Senator Boby, and the successful Floralia, thanks to Pontifex Ariel, otherwise I can only add that I will start next week I am on a pilgrimage to upper Italy and will probably not be back until the first week of June, probably June 6th."
III. TRIBUNATE REPORT
Senate Lead advised at this stage the Tribunate is adjourned.
IV. UPCOMING EVENTS
The Regent made a major announcement that Romanum is an official Second Pride Sponsor! Second Pride will be June 9th-18th, 2023. It was further added that it is important that Romanum be seen as supporting Second Pride. Romanum will have a tent near the park and a boardwalk installation. When Pride is open, it may bring new visitors to Romanum, who are not familiar with our RP. Please help them as you can. Additionally, Senator Boby, Senator Jonny and Club Romanum, whose donations made the sponsorship possible, were thanked for their huge contributions. The meeting expressed pleasure at the news of the continuation of Second Pride sponsorship. The Regent advised that he has sent details of Romanum locations at Pride in the Empire of Romanum Group and also reminded that the sponsorship arrangement does not circumvent our own Pride parties and events in Romanum.
V. ANY OTHER BUSINESS FROM THE FLOOR

The Regent thanked everyone for the Big and small things they contribute to Romanum.
