Social structure of Nova Roma


Registered merchants are Nova Roman citizens who want to become entrepreneurs and start up Roman-themed businesses. A portion of the profits (usually 10%) are then donated back to Nova Roma.

ATTENTION: Before St. Cornelia C. Aemilio cos. ‡ MMDCCLXVII a.u.c., all registered merchants were equestrians automatically. Since the reforms, equestrian and merchant status are not the same. There are currently no clear rules and procedures for advertisement and merchandise within Nova Roma, but you can always ask our magistrates, or post your questions on our forum. We are happy to recognize you as our official merchant, don't hesitate to post your questions!

Registered merchants of Nova Roma under a constant watch by the Censors and is updated regularly. Censor Ti. Galerius Paulinus has wished that this list be specially updated by 1 June 2761.

Ideas

Here are some ideas for businesses that would be appropriate for registered merchants of Nova Roma:

  • Roman clothing (tunics, togas, stolas, etc.)
  • Weapons and armor (reenactment-quality, swordplay-safe, wooden swords, etc.)
  • Herbs (you could include a brief snippet of Roman herb-lore with each order!)
  • Ancient collectable coins and other artifacts (make sure they're legal to be sold!)
  • Books (new and/or used) dealing with the ancient world
  • Roman-style furniture (reenactors are always looking for period chairs and tables)
  • Roman tents, carts, chariots, etc.
  • Galley trips on the ocean (well, this would require a bit of money up-front to buy the trireme!)
  • Pre-made Roman foodstuffs (just make sure you're obeying local health ordinances)
  • Statues, idols, pillars, altars, etc.
  • Classically-themed modern clothing (just remember you must have permission from the Senate before you can use the SPQR-in-a-wreath logo)

This is only a quick sample; there are doubtless hundreds of others out there that you could do. If it has something to do with ancient Rome, and you can make some money on it, you should enter as a registered merchant of Nova Roma. Help Nova Roma while having fun and making a little money for yourself, too!
