Salve! Welcome to the Imperial Romans of New Zealand



Picture
IMPERIUM-ROMANA is a Roman Living History group that performs re-enactments and displays of the Roman Empire. If you're interested in Roman history, we invite you to join us. You'll be warmly welcomed by a friendly bunch of fellow history enthusiasts. ​The club comprises the military LEGIO VI FERRATA, the NZ GLADIATOR SCHOOL, and CIVITAS ROMANA civilian Romans. We welcome new event invitations and can tailor our shows to suit your requirements. The Romans have earned a reputation for being reliable, obliging, professional and a pleasure to work with. View our latest events in the GALLERY

Our Roman legion LEGIO VI FERRATA (Ironclad) is praised for historical accuracy. We train in Latin military drill, gladius sword-play and period weapons. Events include parades, festivals, camps, schools, film-shoots, and public shows. We star in the Netflix tv series ROMAN EMPIRE, seasons 1, 2 and  3.  The Roman army is a great career! ​

​​The NZ GLADIATOR SCHOOL provides gladiator shows as exciting entertainment at public events. We can train you as a gladiator or gladiatrix in safe choreographed fights. Start off with a bit-role to see how you like being the new Champion of Rome. You can also play a non-combat role if you prefer. 
Our Roman society CIVITAS ROMANA displays Roman Life with public talks. We work on Roman handicrafts that give hands-on interaction, and enjoy Roman feasts, celebrations, and group outings. ​

Our Facebook page discusses all things Roman, and our YouTube has many great Roman videos.

Please explore our site. You can study history, watch movies and dig sites - but only living like a real Roman truly gives you the genuine experience and insight of really being there. We wear authentic Roman gear, train in a variety of Roman weapons, learn Latin commands and formations, make our own Roman equipment, live in a Roman camp, and participate in public performances.
