FOR NEWCOMERS & GUESTS: What is Nova Roma, and Australia Nova Romana?

Gratias tibi ago (thank-you) for visiting the home of Nova Roma in Australia and New Zealand. Whether you found us through social media or from an invitation, please take a moment to read about our global community.

What is Nova Roma?

Nova Roma was established as an international organization on Kal. Mar. Fl. Vedio M. Cassio cos. MMDCCLI a.u.c. (March 1, 1998), with the aim of providing Roman themed education through living history and networking with other Roman themed organisations and institutions. Nova Roma is a niche entity but found globally, with most of their members found throughout Eastern Europe, Italy, UK, Australia and heavily through the United States. Nova Roma is an international living history society, a community of scholars, students and enthusiasts who teach and study Roman society through the framework of a symbolic nation based on the ancient Roman Republic. Nova Roma encourages a focus to the study and restoration of ancient Roman culture. Through living history and reenactment, they undertake activities in classical studies and Roman religion. Unlike many other Roman reenactment groups, they do not have a military focus but seek to demonstrate and understand the Mos maiorum (custom of the ancestors) and Romanitas (the Roman way). They are not considered a LARP or Role-Play group, as they take all traditions and customs seriously (with the necessary compromises for modern times), ensuring accuracy in their activities to promote integrity in their Roman identity education.

In summary, Nova Roma is best described as a global society of like-minded individuals studying all things Roman. Modelled on the Roman Republic, they even have a formal Roman Senate (who also form their international Board of Directors). For those that choose, Citizens have the option to run as a candidate for many of the public offices and follow the cursus honorum over serval years. Managed by the magistrates, Nova Roma also host various activities and events online (as well as physically, through small autonomous sub-groups) and hold public forum through various social media platforms.

Australia Nova Romana

Nova Roma has probably been here in Australia in various forms since 1999 but it’s only recently we’ve started to grow and formalize our association here in the region. Australia Nova Romana (ANR) is the local chapter of Nova Roma, Australia & New Zealand. ANR currently exists as an unincorporated association.

ANR has recently submitted an application to the Australasian Living History Federation (ALHF) to be recognized as an authentic living history society. ANR will also seek to incorporate as a not-for-profit organization in the near future, as a division of Nova Roma Inc..

Provincial Overview

Recruitment and presentation stand of Nova Roma by D. Aurelius Legatus Pro Praetore of Australia introducing the new face of Nova Roma Australia. Nova Roma goes forth in Australia!

Provincia Australia of Nova Roma consists of the modern day nations of Australia and New Zealand. As of Non. Oct. Q. Arrio (II) T. Domitio (III) cos. MMDCCLXXIII a.u.c., the province is now governed by a new Senate appointment, D. Aurelius Ingeniarius Legatus Pro Praetore. D. Aurelius had previously served as legatus and praefectus under the authority of Proconsul cum maiore Imperio Cn. Cornelius Lentulus Alexander. Upon the passing of the Proconsul in MMDCCLXXIII AUC, he was substituted by his deputy, the Quaestor and Legatus Proconsularis Cn. Cornelius Lentulus the Younger. As the new governor, D. Aurelius continues his initiatives and the task of the revitalization and reorganization of the Nova Roman Australia.

Legatus Pro Praetore D. Aurelius and his praetorium currently reside in Melbournia. There he resides over his consilium provinciae while working on the development of the first local vicus. You can read more about the governor and his history on his LinkedIn profile.

Nova Roman Community Life and Projects in Australia

As one of the results of reorganizing the province, under the successful guidance of Legatus Pro Praetore D. Aurelius, Nova Roma recruited a new allied legion within Australia: the Legio X Fretensis Australiana. A program is underway to establish a network of informed citizens with skills in various ancient Roman tradition, history, language or knowledge. People are what make organisations like these; so all students, academics and enthusiasts are being welcomed.

Legatus and Praefectus D. Aurelius, 2773 auc, is warmly inviting all friends of Rome in Australia and New Zealand to join the community of the New Roman People in Australia.

Nova Roman Network and Local Groups in Australia and New Zealand

Mos maiorum (way of the ancestors) and Romanitas (Roman identity) transcends organisations and borders. Those that study the intricacies of Roman tradition value the communities that these collective studies create. Nova Roma seeks to create a common movement and collective knowledge of ‘Romans’. It is not the intent of Nova Roma to interfere in the affairs of its partner organisations. Nova Roma intends to build an inter-organisational and international, real functioning model Roman society and model state for educative purpose. This will foster friendship, brotherhood, and cooperation between individuals, groups and organisations which self-identify as Romans of today. Nova Roma hopes to foster something wonderful; a living Roman unity expressed by gestures and symbols, not by direct power. Below you will find direct local groups of Nova Roma and partner organisations sharing Roman ideals, resources and activities with us.
