About
Ancient Roots, Modern Risk Management
Our name, along with our corporate imagery, draws its insirpation from the Aventine Hill, one of the seven hills upon which Ancient Rome was built. If Rome’s Palatine was the political center of the ancient world, then the Aventine was its social counterpart. Home to thinkers, philosophers and inventors the Aventine represented a collective of the most promising and ambitious ideologies, moralities and principles of the era. Among them was the notion in Roman Law of Fidiucia, or trust, upon which the modern concept of a Fiduciary is based.
In the centuries since, the word Aventine has evolved to hold both a symbolic as well as a literal reference, having been brought into common language during the renaissance. In the English of this time it was synonomous with the words protection, security and defense. Those words in our time have become synonomous with risk management. We named our company Aventine because we felt it perfectly aligned with both the core principles upon which we operate our business, as well as the services that we promote to our clients.
Our logo is a stylized rendition of the legendary Roman wolf, as traced from an ancient Roman document and updated for the modern day. The wolf’s strength, cunning and independance form its identity - charateristics that you will find also in us.
