What we are not

• Is Res Publica Romana a role-playing game / re-enactor group / micronation / living history group / reconstructionist group / religious community / academic organisation... ?

• In short: no, we are not any single one of those!– We promote and support activities related to re-enactment and reconstructionalism as well

academic research and all other activities related to ancient Roman culture. Our aim is to be a uniting hub for Roman enthusiasts and professionals and to promote our own projects as well as projects and efforts of other Roman organisations, groups and communities.

– We have chosen to do this a Roman community, which necessites, in our view, adopting certain ancient Roman principles and ways of doing things.

– For us e.g. adopting to use the titles of magistrates of the Roman republic is not a role-playing game, but a serious attempt to create a Roman community that follows Roman values and principles in organising common interests - res publica in Latin.

– This sets us apart from both re-enactors and micronations: we are not building new sovreign state nor re-enacting any spesific event or period.

– We are also not living history group nor reconstructionists or experimental archaeologists as we are not creating or experimenting any more physical artefacts than immaterial culture.

– We also are not an academic organisation as we do not concentrate solely on research.– We also are not a religious organisation even while as a Roman community we want to aim keep

up pax deorum.
