{{languageBar|Sodalitas}}__NOTOC__ __NOEDITSECTION__ Several state-sponsored public '''''collegia''''' (sing. ''collegium'') and several aedilician private '''''sodalitates''''' (sing. ''sodalitas''), exist within Nova Roma for the discussion of topics of special interests to Nova Roma citizens. These special interest groups or associations are operated independently, often through their own forums or mailing lists. <div style="width:100%"> <div style="width:49.7%;float:left; margin-left:0px"> {{PortalBox | title=''Collegia and Sodalitates in Roma Antiqua'' | content= At Rome the principle of private association was recognized very early by the state; ''sodalitates'' for religious purposes are mentioned in the XII Tables (Gaius in Digest, 47. 22. 4), and ''collegia opificum'', (trade guilds), were believed to have been instituted by [[Numa|Numa Pompilius]], which probably means that they were regulated by the ''ius divinum'' as being associated with particular worships. It is difficult to distinguish between the two words ''collegium'' and ''sodalitas''; but ''collegium'' is the wider of the two in meaning, and may be used for associations of all kinds, public and private, while ''sodalitas'' is more especially a union for the purpose of maintaining a cult. Both words indicate the permanence of the object undertaken by the association, while a ''societas'' is a temporary combination without strictly permanent duties.

An inscription from one such association in [[Lanuvium]] appears to cite the pertinent law: "The following are permitted to assemble, convene and maintain a society; those who wish to make monthly contributions for funerals may assemble in such a society, but they may not assemble in the name of such a society except once a month for the sake of making contributions to provide burial for the dead."
