The Societas Via Romana (Society of the Roman Way) is a multicultural, creative and organic society that celebrates the legacy of the classical world to humanity, especially in its aspects that are still applicable in contemporary life.The Societas Via Romana : an Introduction
We are multicultural, because, aside from our more specific focus on Roman civilisation, we welcome discussion on other classical civilisations such as Greece, Carthage or the Etruscans. We are also multicultural, because we accept members from all layers and cultures possible, and strive for mutual intercultural understanding.
We are creative, because we strive for creative expression of our "Romanitas" in essays, travel reports, discussions, chats, stories or reenactment, exploring various areas of the "Via Romana". This creativity serves to keep the Roman heritage alive, and to stimulate critical discussion about and learning of it.
Last but not least, we are organic: the Societas Via Romana folds open into several "Collegia", that each cover a specific facet of the Roman life in detail. These "Collegia" can be created by members themselves, and are our main branches of life. Geographically, Societas Via Romana also provides for the creation of "Provinciae", real-life groups of people that live in the same area.
Membership is absolutely free, and further informations are available on the rest of our site, or by e-mailing one of our officers.
The free community of the Societas Via Romana welcomes you!
