Civic life (Nova Roma)

Mailing lists, our community fora

Since Nova Roman citizens live all over the world, we often keep in touch through a large number of official forums.

The main forum of our civic life is our "Forum Novum Romanum".

Sodalitates - Special Interest Groups

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.

Academia Thules - Our first university

The Academia Thules ad Studia Romana Antiqua et Nova, founded by Nova Romans, was a successful experiment in modern Roman education, which offered several courses centered on ancient Roman culture and on the modern organization of Nova Roma. The Academia Thules closed its doors after ten years of spreading Roman culture and educating citizens and non-citizens to enhance Romanitas among Nova Romans and in the world, and now we encourage you to join us in the work of developing a new Nova Roman university, building on our experience and previous work with our first educational project, the Academia Thules.

Military reenactments

People from across the world have for decades come together to reenact historical military and civilian life at various periods in time. A large number of these are dedicated to the Roman era. As part of our efforts to bring ancient Rome back to life, Nova Roma sponsors the activities of various legions across the world. Some of these legionary units, like the Legio XXI Rapax, have been established as our own representative and ceremonial Roman army: join us - we want you! Learn more...
