It is bordered by the Provençal Tribunal to the southwest, the Normandy Tribunal to the northwest, the Greater Alps Tribunal to the north, and the Transylvanian Tribunal to the east. See the Map of Mythic Europe.
Current Edition Resources
There is no current edition supplement on the Roman Tribunal, but it is mentioned in a few of the sourcebooks.
Current Edition Covenants
- A large, unnamed covenant of House Tremere is noted in Houses of Hermes: True Lineages[1]
- Harco, domus magna of House Mercere, has a two-paragraph description in Houses of Hermes: True Lineages[2]

Past Edition Resources
There was a sourcebook published on the Roman Tribunal, Tribunals of Hermes: Rome, for Third Edition. It is now somewhat dated and is not considered canonical for Fifth Edition, so there will be some inconsistencies between that book and more-recent material. See its product page for more information.
