Senatus Populusque Romanus
The Senate and People of Rome
Legionary. Centurion. Commander. Senator. We have been living the dream since 1987. Now it is your turn.
Be the hero. Live the dream.
Roman might was made legendary by the valor of her glorious Legions. Sandaled feet marched to the clash of arms through a river of blood. The Legions carved out Rome’s expanding dominion through battle and butchery, from Britain to Egypt. From a patchwork of conquests, the diverse nations and cultures of three continents were transformed into one world, one Empire!
Do you ever wish you could have made history, earning glory in Rome wars? Now’s your chance! The Legions still expand the Empire’s dominions every weekend. We share a fascination with history and get to enjoy it as a fast-paced, action packed sport! The eastern United States boast a wide variety of medieval LARP and combat organizations, including the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). Rome has enjoyed participation in regional medievalist combat circuits since 1987, and we welcome you to join our fun. Rome wants you!
Historic Romans understood how to conquer and reign. Using the principles of war that established the Roman Empire as supreme, we have duplicated their success. We are always recruiting, building new Legions to share our peerless glory. We will train you to use competitive combat techniques. We will help you construct or purchase armor and weapons that will help ensure your superiority on the battle field. You’ll enjoy the exhilaration of experiencing a safe medieval combat simulation with a winning team. Rome expects your devoted adherence to our high standards of honor, sportsmanship, and loyalty.
Rome is about fun and teamwork, using organization to achieve success. Romans strive to be the best of friends, and the most challenging of opponents. We don’t believe in having “enemies,” being of the opinion that all medievalists share a common interest that should unite us. But friendly competition has its place on the battlefield, where glory is earned. Whether your interests lie in joining us as a citizen of Rome, fighting with us at Armistice or Pennsic, or even fighting against us in the medievalist societies we recommend, please contact us. We welcome all who share our interest in the glory and majesty that was (and is) Rome.
