Nova Romans devoted to the study of the Roman military

Since the Nova Roma Constitution forbids acquisition of lands and peoples by warfare and conquest, this Sodalitas concentrates on the aspects of the study of making war, and devotes itself to the cataloging and modeling of the great Military Forces that were Rome as well as the history of those forces.

The Sodalitas Militarium is loosely organized into interest groups, with goals chosen by members who research, study, build models, recreate military equipment, and pursue many other aspects of Military Study. The Sodalitas Militarium encourages members to develop bibliographies
and similar reference lists to promote further study.

The following areas are available for immediate involvement and study:

• Naval Warfare, Shipbuilding, and Tactics (models / dioramas);
• Legions Cataloguing, Tactics, Organization, etc.;
• Consul's Guard, Suitability for Nova Roma, Uniforms, Duties, Weapons, Drill, Composition, Organization;
• Artillery, Catapults, all forms used by the Legions (models / dioramas);
• Engineering / Cartography, maps, drawings models, dioramas;
• Legion Camps and Forts, models, dioramas, diagrams, drawings, etc.;

The Sodalitas Militarium communicates via:

• Militarium Message List;
• Militarium Newsletter;
• Militarium Presentations outside of NR;
• Informal communications among Militarium members

This is your Military Organization, Citizens! One of the strong foundations of the Republic and later the Empire was the ability of the military to expand the frontiers of Rome. Be a part of the first Senate-approved Sodalitas in Nova Roma! Be aware of the vast and powerful Military organization that shook the world to such an extent that it is still remembered in detail and with awe, twenty-plus centuries later!!!
