Arguably, the nascent Republic was not ready for him.  As a Christian in a Roman Pagan organization, he was suspect, though it became clear soon enough that he was not interested in evangelizing.  As a roleplayer of various kinds, his presence was unsettling in a group that very much needed to be taken seriously.  His jesting ways did not help.  But after a time, people did get used to him and even appreciate his contributions to the life of the community.  He gained a reputation for military scholarship, enthusiasm, and a rare even-handedness in public debate; he was noted for not letting political differences get in the way of a perfectly good friendship.

Lucius Marius Fimbria (Nova Roma)

[This is a draft of the LMF bio page for the Nova Roma Wiki.]

Lucius Marius Fimbria came to Nova Roma in Iul of MMDCCVI, mere months after the Founding. He brought with him the experiences and ideas of seven years as a solo Roman-about-town; having become aware of himself as a Roman during the Gulf War (what he still calls "coming into the Heritage"), he had spent the interval--in college and in the military, at Renaissance Faires and SCA events, and in other venues ranging from Boy Scout meetings and homeless shelters to a season as a Little League mascot--teaching, sharing the fierce joy of his newfound Romanitas, and helping others to discover theirs. A roleplayer for over 15 years, he created the historical-fantasy gameworld of Roma Subterranea; and he got out of a computer-science final by authoring a Web site, The Roman Outpost, whose origins and content strongly reflected his trademark spirit of playful inquiry.
