But through our research we have learned that the Cultus Deorum was an integral part of most aspects of ancient Roman life. Naturally, in Nova Roma we have followed suit, in our pursuit to reconstruct the via Romana as closely as possible to their example. All citizens start off as prospective citizens for a period of three months...some find Nova Roma is not for them, others move on to full citizenship. We invite you to discover our community for yourself.
