Nova Roma (Latin for 'New Rome') is an international[1][2] Roman cultural revivalist and reconstructionist organization created in 1998, later incorporated in Maine (USA) as a non-profit organization with an educational and spiritual mission.[3] Nova Roma is dedicated to promote "the restoration of classical Roman religion, culture, and virtues" and "shared Roman ideals".[4][5]

Notable for providing extensive resources about Roman culture, Latin, ancient Roman costuming and reenactment guidelines,[5][6][7] Nova Roma aims to be more than a community of reenactors or history study group. Based on the reconstructed Roman ceremonies and spiritual aspects of the activities of Nova Roma, Strimska,[8] Davy,[9] Adler,[10] Gallagher-Ashcraft,[11] and Chryssides[12] refer to it as the world's leading Roman reconstructionist community. Because it has a structure based on the ancient Roman Republic,[13] with a senate, magistrates and laws enacted by vote of the comitia,[14] and with its own coinage,[15][16] and because the Nova Roma Wiki states that the group self-identifies as a "sovereign nation", some outside observers[4][16][17][18] classify it as a micronation.
