Something New Coming Soon!

The ROMA Management Team is working on a brand new feature for ROMA and its Citizens. We can't tell you much about it yet, but we predict:

1. It will bring a great new dimension to your time in ROMA.
2. It will be both fun and social.
3. It will give you a lot to brag about.
4. It will reward those most active in the estate.
5. It will make even more things to see and do in ROMA.
   
6. It will be a great way to make new friends.
7. Other ancient sims will eventually shamelessly copy it from us (as always) ;)

So watch this space for big news soon!

3pm - Vinalia Rustica Wine Celebration
The ancient Vinalia Rustica was a celebration of the grape and the fruits of the Earth - during this festival, the alcoholic consumption was intense and Roman women were supervised and given less alcoholic drinks to prevent them from public drunkness. But never fear - ROMA never waters down it's drinks! So drink and dance with us as we praise the gifts of the grape!
