Portal for Sodalitates in Nova Roma Several Sodalitates, or associations, exist within Nova Roma for the discussion of topics of special interest to Nova Roma citizens. Most of these sodalitates have web sites and mailing lists of their own. Any citizen may be a member of any sodalitas, and non-citizens often participate in their mailing lists as well.
Sodalitates in Roma Antiqua At Rome the principle of private association was recognized very early by the state; sodalitates for religious purposes are mentioned in the XII Tables (Gaius in Digest, 47. 22. 4), and collegia opificum, (trade guilds), were believed to have been instituted by Numa Pompilius, which probably means that they were regulated by the jus divinum as being associated with particular worships. It is difficult to distinguish between the two words collegium and sodalitas; but collegium is the wider of the two in meaning, and may be used for associations of all kinds, public and private, while sodalitas is more especially a union for the purpose of maintaining a cult. Both words indicate the permanence of the object undertaken by the association, while a societas is a temporary combination without strictly permanent duties. [1] Sodalitas Latinitatis (The Latin Society) A place to discuss the Latin language, Latin literature and Classical philology, along with the promotion of Latinity in Nova Roma. Messages in Latin and other languages are welcome. Sodalitas Latinitatis Sodalitas Militarium (Roman Military) Members of Sodalitas Militarium discuss and study aspects of the Roman Military with focus on Infantry, Cavalry, Naval, Engineering and Cartography. Sodalitas Graeciae (Greek Language and Culture) The Sodalitas Graeciae is dedicated to enriching Nova Roma with knowledge and discussion of the Ancient Greek world.	Featured Sodalitas No content yet. Sodalitas Coquorum et Cerevisiae Coctorum (The Society of Cooks and Brewers) Sodalitas Coquorum et Cerevisiae Coctorum is devoted to the research, preparation, and enjoyment of the beverages, foods and dining methods of Roma Antiqua, those of cultures with which she came into contact, those of Nova Roma and the host cultures of Nova Roma's Cives. Sodalitas Musarum (Arts and Literature) The Sodalitas Musarum, under the patronage of Apollo and the Nine Muses, endeavors to develop and serve the cultural and artistic life of Nova Roma. Sodalitas Egressus (Nova Roma Outreach) The Sodalitas Egressus promotes our Republic and establishes person-to-person contact of cives of Nova Roma with other organizations of Roman-related interests. Sodalitas Munerum (Gladiatorial Combat) Nova Roman citizens interested in the art of gladiatorial combat and related entertainments as practiced in ancient Rome. Sodalitas Munerum
