NOVA ROMA
A res publica dedicated to the study and restoration of Classical Roman culture, religion, and society.

THE REBIRTH OF CLASSICAL ROMAN RELIGION AND CULTURE
Since the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the fifth century CE, many have aspired to reclaim the best essence of Roman civilization. For centuries, classical Rome has remained the standard to which all cultures have compared themselves. The Roman legacies in art, architecture, law, politics, commerce, and ancient religion are the basic foundation of our world today. They are the eternal common heritage shared by all existing Western nations.
Nova Roma has been created so that the greatest qualities of the ancient Roman world may be not only remembered, but restored and brought forth as a vital, living force. Nova Roma is dedicated to the study and revival of Roman religion, culture, and society.
The goal of Nova Roma is to restore ancient virtue, piety, and dignity by manifesting a working “Roman Republic” which embodies all the best qualities of classical civilization. We seek, through positive example, to inspire and revitalize the peoples and countries of the world today. Our future hope is to establish a Roman Forum as a “world capitol” which will serve as a focus for classical Roman religion and culture worldwide.
Nova Roman citizenship is open to all. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, nationality, religion, or gender. Becoming a citizen allows one to participate in all aspects of our res publica, and is simply the most complete way to become involved in any aspect of the history and culture of the classical Roman world.
We invite you to explore Nova Roma and to take part in the most comprehensive effort to restore the classical ideal that exists today. Together we can rebuild the best of what has been lost over the centuries, and improve the quality of our common future!

The work of Rebuilding…

- Restoring the Pax Deorum through the revived public practice of the Religio Romana (ancient Roman pagan religion).
- Funding archaeological works of excavation and preservation of ancient Roman sites.
- Encouraging the practice of the ancient Roman virtues in popular culture and life.
- Sponsoring and promoting ancient Roman religious and historical events and festivals.
- Working with Roman cultural and military reenactment groups, to ensure that our past remains alive, not consigned to history books.
- Cooperating with reconstructionist groups of other ancient cultures and faiths.
- Researching and publishing ancient Roman historical and religious material.
