Mailing Lists
First of all, you might want to subscribe to a couple of email lists.
- The "Main List"
- A high-volume list, but right now it's the best way to get in touch with your fellow Nova Romans, unless you're lucky enough to live in a place where there's a local community.
- The "New Roman" list
- Some experienced citizens are waiting to answer questions and help you get oriented in this moderated low-traffic list.
- The "Announcement" list
- Contains official announcements; calls to vote, results of elections, magisterial edicts, etc. If you still want to have an ear to the ground to find out what's going on, but don't have the time to devote to a high-volume list, this list would be perfect for you.

You can set up shop as a member of the Ordo Equester and help Nova Roma's treasury while turning a profit for yourself at the same time!
Politics
Running for public office is yet another way to contribute to Nova Roma. There is an explanation of what the various magistracies to help you figure out what you might find interesting.
Essential Latin
You'll find that the conversation in Nova Roma's various fora is peppered with Latin phrases. Here are a few quick-and-dirty lessons in "essential Latin" that might make things easier to comprehend for those who never took Latin in school:
