Nova Roma is an international organization dedicated to the study and restoration of ancient Roman culture. From its founding until it ceased to be the center of Imperial authority Rome laid the foundation for our modern Western civilization. Founded 2,750 years after the Eternal City itself, Nova Roma seeks to bring back those golden times, not through the sword and the legions, however, but through the spread of knowledge and through our own virtuous example.

The modern practice of the Roman religion, the cultus deorum Romanorum, is our attempt to reconstruct the religion of the ancient Romans as closely as possible. Roman religion cannot be approached by inserting Roman deity names into Greek religion or any other system, for it is a unique product of the culture that created it. "The pax deorum was considered to be the normal state of affairs, that is, peaceful co-existence between two parties, divine and human, who have agreed not to interfere with one another except under particular, well-defined circumstances."
If you need help, advice or assistance regarding the cultus deorum, don't hesitate to contact our experts.

Nova Romanitas ("new Romanness", "revival of Roman culture") is the study and practical application of Roman culture and virtues, "Romanitas" and the "mos maiorum", the revival of all aspects of Roman life, from cultural like arts, language, literature, clothing, architecture, to spiritual such as the virtues, the religion, the ethics and philosophies in our everyday lives. Part of this is our educational mission divulging knowledge about classical culture. One of the cornerstones of Romanitas are the Roman virtues; those qualities which define the ideal state of being and behavior of the Roman citizen. It is as part of the mos maiorum that citizens are expected to take up Roman names for use within our society. Learning Latin, the language of Roman culture, is an equally important step towards becoming a modern Roman. Learn more ...
