Founders of Nova Roma

The founding of Nova Roma was prepared by five gentes, the patrician gens Cassia, gens Vedia, gens Iunia, gens Maria and the plebeian gens Caecilia. However, by the time of the Foundation Day, on the Kal. Mar. ‡ of 2750 AUC (1998 AD), a number of people have been assembled as the first ever comitia in modern history to and witness the founding of Nova Roma and to elect the first government by acclamation, consisting of two consuls-censors, M.
