Sodalitas Militarium
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 organized into particular interest groups, with certain goals chosen by members, to research, study, and build models
of all aspects of Military Study. Establishment of subject
bibliographies will also be a goal for each area of endeavor.
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 purpose of the study groups will be the study / presentation /
modeling of their particular efforts with submittals to the NR
Newsletter (the Eagle), and any other newsletters that are open to us, as
well as periodic opportunities to display our research and modeling in
various military shows and displays around the country. Other ideas to
be discussed and worked on:
- Militarium Newsletter;
- Militarium Message List;
- Militarium Presentations outside of NR;
- Additional ideas of members of the Sodalitas Militarium will be considered for addition to the above.
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!!!
Most Respectfully;
