Our Consul
Angelia Rees is the Consul, Praetor Primus, and Vestalis Maxima of ROMA. She joined SL in 2004 and her primary avatar was born October 2006. She has a background in Roman culture, history and archaeology, as well as theology and comparative religion.
She first found ROMA in it's original incarnation on it's 1/4 sim plot on the Linda Sim. The first ROMA was simple, but it was Roman, and she was excited to have found it. She visited there a few times, and then (for unrelated reasons) decided to take a break from SL. When she returned, to her dismay, ROMA had vanished.
But all was not lost. Torin had purchased a private sim and was building ROMA. In October 2006 she found the new sim and quickly settled in as a Citizen. There was a lot to do to build and promote the new community, and she volunteered tirelessly to help out. With Torin's blessing, she founded the Collegia Religio Romana in March 2007, to help organise and execute monthly festivals for Citizens to enjoy and to teach about ancient Roman Religion. By June 2007, she was made Estate Manager and Subura Tribuna, and was Torin's Girl Friday.
She became Torin's Co-Consul sometime in 2008, and took on a more active role in the managing of the estates, while continuing her role as Vestalis Maxima, Subura Tribuna, and Praetor Primus.
In 2015, she took over full management of the ROMA estates as sole Consul, after Torin decided to retire. She currently manages ROMA with the blessing of the Imperator Julian Augustus and the invaluable assistance of ROMA's Praetores.
