Curia Session I - 193 BC

[Marcus Silvius Pastor]

The proxy for Senator M. Silvius Pastor rises to speak.

Esteemed Brethren,

The report from the Province of Sicily is straightforward, for Sicily remains peaceful and prosperous. Under the administration of the Propraetor, Senator Marcus Silvius Pastor, there have been three main projects. First, the Propraetor constructed a Theatre - re-dedicated to Roman Veterans - to supplement the public works built by previous Governors. Second, a vast colonization survey was undertaken. Comprehensive plans for future coloniae ranging from 1,500 - 10,000 Veterans and their families have been drawn up in duplicate for officials in Rome and Sicily to utilize at their disposal. Lastly, abandoned and/or derelict properties were acquired by the State and transformed into profitable enterprises, increasing the revenues available to future Governors.

I yield the floor.

[Gaius Cassius Vecellinus]

Conscript fathers,

Given the lack of opposition to my proposal and the colossal size of my co-Consul's victory, I move that we vote on a formal motion without further debate.

For the following motion:

RATIFICATIO PACIS CUM SPARTA ET TRIUMPHO (Ratification of peace with Sparta and Triumph)
Sponsor: Gaius Cassius Vecellinus

RECOGNIZING the need to restore the state of peace with Sparta on conditions acceptable to Roman honor;
ACKNOWLEDING the martial feats of Consul Titus Furius Pavo in his war against Sparta of 194 B.C.;

Be it enacted by the Senate of the Roman Republic in the Curia Hostilia assembled,
I. The following treaty negotiatied by Consul Titus Furius Pavo on behalf of Rome and Nabis on behalf of Sparta is hereby ratified:

Treaty of Sparta with Rome and her Grecian Allies
1. Argos is now a liberated and free independent state.
2. All Argive soldiers in Nabis' army are allowed to return home.
3. Nabis shall remain in power, Sparta an independent state.
4. The coastal Laconian cities will be given independence and the Spartan fleet shall be divided evenly between them.
5. Sparta shall promise to pay a warn indemnity of 300,000 for the next 8 years.
6. All alliances with Cretan cities are voided and Sparta shall not enter into any new alliances with Cretan cities.
7. Any woman who was married to an ex-helot but whose husband was in exile to join him

Begin discessio (division).

Quí hoc cénsétis, illuc tránsite; quí alia omnia, in hanc partem. (Whoever thinks this, go over there; whoever thinks anything else, to this part.)

May the will of the Senate be known to all.
