If an army looks good and looks like it knows what it's doing, it has won half the fight. The enemy now has a doubt about himself, a hesitation. If an army is well disciplined, it can win over superior numbers, and if it is well skilled, it has already won. Fighting becomes a formality.

This quote directs our attention to the vital importance of professionalism. Just as the ancient ways of war, propaganda, civil urbanistic design, architecture, inter-personal relations-to just mention a few-is the proper way to both promote and sustain one's cause.

The Regia, is much like an army, but its troop rallies to the pursuit of historical humanitarian knowledge, a multi-faceted, diverse and extremely complicated history. The members of The Regia promote and uphold the idealism of academically sound research, development and evolution of all its core objectives. Those objectives should fully laid out and set upon.

The Regia's educational foundations need and must be allied with proper professionalism, ie, well-planned, designed and executed visual representation. As the opening quote clearly explains an enemy (in our case someone seeking Roman historical knowledge) shall be quickly subdued (educated) by the army (the group's members) if it looks good (graphics, webpage design, artistic elements, integration of appropriate media and a general convergence of proper academic primary/secondary sources, data and if applicable, other resources). It is The Regia's duty, its pietas in all things, to uphold a decree of idealistic, proper academic AND visual professionalism.

Amateurism, graphically, as the slain enemies of AncientWorlds (its fans) realize, is not an option that is sustainable. Admittance of this fact is where all roads shall begin to lead us back to Rome and a successful triumph.

This is a call to all my brothers, sisters and collegues to rejoin the ranks with renewed passion, a fresh sense of purpose. We shall not be a facade, or a scanty army placed before the world but a new-age wonder of the not-so-modern world. Let us be grand, let us be beautiful, let us be accurate and precise.
