During the second era of Emeritan independence, the Republic experienced a renaissance of its own as interest in the Adonerum began to surface after the discovery of a treasure trove of lost Adonerii manuscripts and theses in the year 1246. With the recovery of Adonerii documents that were long-thought missing or destroyed, there began an interest in the idea that the Republic was the heir to the Adonerum and the ideals of bringing back certain aspects of Adonerii culture that were abandoned during the years of Caphiric suzerainty.

The first century of the Second Republican era was also marked by a few attempts to restore the classical [[Caphiric Republic]], with prominent Emeritans arguing that the collapse of the Second Imperium has proven that there were many fundamental flaws with what they deemed to be the "royalist disgrace" that has emerged since the fall of the Caphiric Republic and that the only way to restore stability and prosperity is to establish a stronger republic based on the ideals of the classical era while making a few necessary modifications to prevent the rise of perceived royalist demagoguery that was said to have plagued the latter years of the Caphiric Republic. However, the Republic was at the time too far away from mainland Sarpedon and too small to effectively wield enough influence to do anything beyond declaring themselves to the true heirs of the old Caphiric Republic, and any and all ambitions of restoring the old Republic on the mainland were soon dashed with the emergence of the [[Caphiria#The_Third_Imperium|Third Imperium]] in 1283.

Through this new effort, they sent out landing parties to attempt to set up outposts from which Emeritan settlers would use to essentially establish multiple Latinic republics throughout the archipelago. From ''Isula de su Bentu'' (now [[Port de Vent]]) to ''Isula de Grassi'' (now the [[Krasoa Islands]]; scholars are still unsure if ''Krasoa'' was in fact a corruption of ''Grassi'' or just a coincidence), the Emeritans have established the [[Ventese Republic]] and the [[Crassian Republic]], respectively. In theory, these two {{wp|sister republics}} were allowed to determine their own affairs so long as they paid a tribute to the Emeritan Republic, but in practice they were more akin to vassal states and had to rely on the Republic for their protection. However, their status allowed these two sister republics to take advantage of the economic opportunities they had through trade with the Republic, which in turn made them flourish under this new [[Emeritan System]].
