ROMA Cursus Honorum
The Cursus Honorum is the ladder of public offices in ROMA SPQR. It shows you how to get involved in the activities and life of the estate.There are 3 ''career paths'' a person can follow to climb the hierarchy of the ROMA Cursus Honorum. Positions "cum imperium" are those who most frequently help get things done in the estate.
Almost all positions come with special free items and clothing. The ''official'' cursus honorum dress is made of two pieces: - the tunica shows the career path and the toga shows the rank. These costumes are for official functions, and for whenever you would like to wear them in the estate.
Please note that the first step on all paths is to join the ROMA Citizens group. This is the default group for the entire estate and the place where all notices about events and news in the estate circulate. Everyone in ROMA should remain in the Citizens group as they move up the Cursus Honorum.
See the bottom of the page for the current list of Cursus officers.
