This code is one generally understood by people all over the world. However, Roman society was based on a class system and the were a very "competitive" nation, regarding themselves Superior to most of the rest of the world, as far as I have gathered. Cartaghe wasn't just conquered, it was obliterated. They had a slave economy. It seems your code and the True Roman Way could have some interesting conflict. Is this where the modernization comes into it.
My comment on being able to find a modernized Rome in Europe could lead you to the Balkan! Isn't that the place we're now hunting war criminals for blind nationalism and ethnic cleansing? You being a student, I would say there is some studying left to do into the implications of putting into practice things which look workable on the outside. So far, most "ism's" have brought a bundle of grief when carried to extremes, be it Nazism, liberalism, Catholicism, socialism, romanism or what have you. In theory, Communism could very well work, but only is a number of strict conditions are met. To impose these conditions, however .......
Oh well, lot's of luck with your project, which does some sectarian undertones, I for one won't be joining, but that is the beauty of the freedom of choice that goes with the society I was born in.
