Their principles shaped nations and institutions long after the unified Roman civilization ceased to function as a living whole.Neo Rome revives Ancient Rome as a living civic civilization, organized around law, office, and citizenship, and practiced openly by those who choose to participate.Neo Rome is a voluntary civic order rooted in Roman law and governance. Participation is voluntary. Governance is exercised through law. The civilization exists wherever its citizens conduct Roman civic life.Neo Rome presently maintains no physical territory. Its foundations are legal, civic, and institutional.The work proceeds deliberately and without spectacle.Citizenship will open soon.ROMA AETERNA, ITERATA
