In Roma Antiqua, the Ordo Equester was originally made up of those citizens who could afford their own horses and equipment, who would then make up the cavalry of the army. In Nova Roma, we have adopted the Ordo Equester as a place where those people who want to become entrepreneurs and start up Roman-themed businesses. A portion of the profits (usually 10%) are then donated back to Nova Roma.

Advertising

Members of the Ordo Equester are allowed to advertise their wares on the main Nova Roma website and our email lists, because not only are they Citizens, but they have also committed to contributing at least 10% of the profits from such ventures back to the State treasury.

Membership

Membership in the Ordo Equestor can be obtained by sending a petition to the Censors (censors@novaroma.org). You should include a description of what it is you're going to be selling. Usually only businesses with some theme directly relating to ancient Rome or Nova Roma will be allowed. Once you are approved, you should then get in touch with the WikiMagisters to see about getting your business listed in the Macellum. Feel free to make use of automatic payment services such as PayPal, too!

Ideas

Here are some ideas for businesses that would be appropriate for members of the Ordo Equester:

  • Roman clothing (tunics, togas, stolas, etc.)
  • Weapons and armor (reenactment-quality, swordplay-safe, wooden swords, etc.)
  • Herbs (you could include a brief snippet of Roman herb-lore with each order!)
  • Ancient collectable coins and other artifacts (make sure they're legal to be sold!)
  • Books (new and/or used) dealing with the ancient world
  • Roman-style furniture (reenactors are always looking for period chairs and tables)
  • Roman tents, carts, chariots, etc.
  • Galley trips on the ocean (well, this would require a bit of money up-front to buy the trireme!)
  • Pre-made Roman foodstuffs (just make sure you're obeying local health ordinances)
  • Statues, idols, pillars, altars, etc.
  • Classically-themed modern clothing (just remember you must have permission from the Senate before you can use the SPQR-in-a-wreath logo)

This is only a quick sample; there are doubtless hundreds of others out there that you could do. If it has something to do with ancient Rome, and you can make some money on it, chances are you'll be brought in to the Ordo Equester. Help Nova Roma while having fun and making a little money for yourself, too!
