The Roman Traditional Movement ( it, Movimento Tradizionale Romano, abbreviated MTR) is a Roman-Italic neopagan organisation in Italy.

History The Roman Traditional Movement was created in 1988, following an effort in the 1980s to unify different strands of Roman neopaganism in Italy. A part of the background was a return to the religious roots of the Traditionalism of Julius Evola, represented by the Gruppo di Dioscuri and its successor Arx in Messina, but without the politics otherwise associated with Evola in the post-war period. Arx joined forces with the unrelated groups Centro Studi "Claudio Flavio Giuliano", the Istituto Siciliano di Studi Tradizionali and the Centro Studi "Giorgio Gemisto Pletone" to hold three meetings from 1985 to 1988, which resulted in the creation of a common organisation.

Gentile
Gentile () is a word that usually means "someone who is not a Jew". Other groups that claim Israelite heritage, notably Mormons, sometimes use the term ''gentile'' to describe outsiders. More rarely, the term is generally used as a synonym for ''heathen'' or ''pagan''. In some translations of the Quran, ''gentile'' is used to translate an Arabic word that refers to non-Jews and/or people not versed in or not able to read scripture. The English word ''gentile'' derives from the Latin word , meaning "of or belonging to the same people or nation" (). Archaic and specialist uses of the word ''gentile'' in English (particularly in linguistics) still carry this meaning of "relating to a people or nation." The development of the word to principally mean "non-Jew" in English is entwined with the history of Bible translations from Hebrew and Greek into Latin and English. Its meaning has also been shaped by Rabbinical Jewish thought and Christian theology which, from the 1st century ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
