At Rome the principle of private association was recognized very early by the state; ''sodalitates'' for religious purposes are mentioned in the XII Tables (Gaius in Digest, 47. 22. 4), and ''collegia opificum'', (trade guilds), were believed to have been instituted by [[Numa|Numa Pompilius]], which probably means that they were regulated by the ''ius divinum'' as being associated with particular worships.

Several state-sponsored public collegia (sing. collegium) and several aedilician private sodalitates (sing. sodalitas), exist within Nova Roma for the discussion of topics of special interests to Nova Roma citizens. These special interest groups or associations are operated independently, often through their own forums or mailing lists.
Collegia and Sodalitates in Roma Antiqua
At Rome the principle of private association was recognized very early by the state; sodalitates for religious purposes are mentioned in the XII Tables (Gaius in Digest, 47. 22. 4), and collegia opificum, (trade guilds), were believed to have been instituted by Numa Pompilius, which probably means that they were regulated by the ius divinum as being associated with particular worships. It is difficult to distinguish between the two words collegium and sodalitas; but collegium is the wider of the two in meaning, and may be used for associations of all kinds, public and private, while sodalitas is more especially a union for the purpose of maintaining a cult. Both words indicate the permanence of the object undertaken by the association, while a societas is a temporary combination without strictly permanent duties. [1]
Burial Associations
Associations to provide for the burial of members were common. An inscription from one such association in Lanuvium appears to cite the pertinent law: "The following are permitted to assemble, convene and maintain a society; those who wish to make monthly contributions for funerals may assemble in such a society, but they may not assemble in the name of such a society except once a month for the sake of making contributions to provide burial for the dead." [2]
