Salvete Omnes!

I have my affairs in order to the point that I am now prepared to re-appear here in Nova Roma. I hope that you will allow me to apologize for my lack of participation the last few months of my terms as Propraetor and Tribune. I kept my eye on the Tribunes list and the Provincial list in case of emergency but did not participate. Please accept my assurance that my personal life was in disorder to the point that I was no longer a functional asset for Nova Roma. I have been able to restore enough order to my life that I have the resources to continue my participation in our great nation. I have been honored by my propraetrix beyond what I deserve in her offer of a legate-ship. I accept and hope this is an oportunity for me to make amends for "dropping the ball" at the end of my service. Thank you for this chance to serve.

I, Lucius Mauricius Procopious (M.L.Peterson) do hereby solemnly swear to uphold the honor of Nova Roma, and to act always in the best interests of Julilla Sempronia Magna while I hold this office, except when such action would be illegal or unconstitutional.

I, Lucius Mauricius Procopious (M.L.Peterson) further swear to fulfill the obligations and Rresponsibilities of the office of Legatus, America Boreoccidentalis Maior:Regio I - Vasintonia Boreoccidentalis to the best of my abilities while following the Roman virtues and ideals.

I, Lucius Mauricius Procopious (M.L.Peterson) swear to give faithful service to my magistrate, and not to divulge any information discussed in confidence. I understand that I serve solely at the discretion of my magistrate. On my honor as a Citizen of Nova Roma,and in the presence of the Gods and Goddesses of the Roman people and by their will and favor, do I accept the position of Legatus, America Boreoccidentalis Maior: Regio I - Vasintonia Boreoccidentalis with all the privileges, obligations, and responsibilities attendant thereto.

Given under my hand A.D. X Kal. Martias MMDCCLVI AUC
in the Consulship of Caeso Fabius Quintilianus and Titus Labienus Fortunatus.
