We are building communities promoting ancient Roman culture along with its virtues and associated traditions
From the casual lover of Rome to the dedicated academic, the Roman Republic is a community for you. We are a home for those who are interested in Latin, living history projects, the Religio Romana, ancient history, the classics, and more.
Join us, risk-free. Being a member (citizen) of the Roman Republic is free.
The Roman Republic is a non-profit organization. Therefore, donations support all of our projects. Without the generosity of citizen-members, there would be no Respublica.
The philanthropy of our supporters provides the opportunity to building living Romanitas for the modern day.
