ROME REBORN
HISTORY. Culture. LIFE.
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.
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.
Nova Caesarea is part of the Nova Roman province of Mediatlantica, consisting of Regio Caesarea Orientalis (“East Jersey”) and Regio Caesarea Occidentalis (“West Jersey”).
