Faustus Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) I have a very funny story about the time I joined the Nova Roma maillist and a couple of the bossier folks there took umbrage over my Roman name anagramming, and very excitably "instructed" their members to take Roman names for themselves ONLY from the "official" Nova Roma names lists. I had no idea I was so subversive! -- Nephele Some, just don't know how to have fun! Faustus Edited May 16, 2008 by Faustus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[How true!] Faustus Anyway, I hope that none are so foolish to fill out their 'citizenship' application. Why would they want to know a telephone number,etc.?

Ursus Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 This topic was split from the "names" thread. I placed it here so the discussion on Nova Roma wouldn't detract from the educational value of Roman names. I had dealings with NR myself - it was allegedly started to provide resources for Roman pagans. It has a few good people, and some great resources, but overall its value as an educational tool is compromised by its posturing as a "micro nation."
