I see you found my latest project?

Why on earth might you ask why I am doing this? Two reasons: 1) It is something of which I am very interested (and that is always a good reason, nonne? and 2) I want a comprehensive model of how Roman government was structured from voting in the Comitia to introducing a relatio for consideration as a Senatus consulta to how the census was conducted to how an ex-citizen was denied fire and water within 500 miles so that when and if the society ever adds or modifies positions or institutions we have an exacting depiction of how it was done so we can better determine if and how it can fit them within our own constitution.

The reason I am so interested in this is because there are a lot of great sources out there (even Wikipedia is looking pretty good these days) but I've never found a static description of the complete constitution for one particular time period...so, I am creating one for a time period that I think is stable and encompassing.

Whaddya think?
