It is the 2nd century AD and the 200 year Pax Romana of Augustus Caesar has come to an end. With the death of the Philosopher-Scholar Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Empire is without a competent leader. Disorder reigns and civil war looms. Mars will be pleased. It is a time for war. It is a time for Conquest of the Empire! Eagle Games revisits the Larry Harris classic (originally released in Milton Bradley’s Gamemaster series). This new edition features 400 beautiful sculpted, historically accurate miniatures, stunning artwork by Paul Niemayer and contains rules for the original game with updated combat rules and a whole new game system that introduces elements of diplomacy and influence. Do you have what it takes to become the next Emperor of Rome?
