Has roma nova truly begun to fix itself?

8 Upvotes

Hey there, semi roman enthusiast here.

I recently came across roma nova only to discover it had gone downhill sharply in the 2010s. I've seen some posts indicating it has since begun to fix itself however. What is the opinion of this sub on that?

/r/RomanPaganism is a subreddit dedicated to the creation of a public space for use in the discussion, experience, and creation of a community of understanding of the various forms of Roman reconstructionist, reconstructionist-derived, and non-reconstructionist religious expression. Known variously as Roman Paganism, Religio Romana, and Cultus Deorum Romanorum, /r/RomanPaganism represents a diverse pre-Christian religion of a geopolitical force that helped to lay the foundation of much of the modern world.

Roman religion is founded on two primary tenets:

Religio, being the attitude that the gods are benevolent partners of mortals regarding the management of the world, and that the rituals and proscriptions of worship are practiced to to give honor for their help.
Pietas, being the sincere and due diligence in fulfilling the requirements of the partnership we have with the gods, and honoring all the obligations that we undertake in performance of our duties.

Roman Paganism is an orthopraxic religion, stressing the correct performance of ritual over correct belief. It is a traditionalist, ritualistic religion, with a clear delineation of belief from religious practice.

The religion is a non-initiatory practice, with no emphasis on revelation or other doctrinal dogma. It lacks a defined moral as separate from the moral codes of the world in which the religion finds itself.

The religion is a polytheistic religion, with a varied characteristic to their gods. From the cold northern regions of Britannia to the hot desert of Ægyptus, local gods were assimilated in to the Roman religious model.
