Rome Civilization

Gaio Giulio Cesare è il personaggio più famoso della storia di Roma antica, nonché uno dei più noti condottieri di tutti i tempi. In suo onore vennero chiamati "Cesare" gli imperatori di Roma, gli imperatori tedeschi e gli zar russi. Eppure Cesare non fu mai imperatore o re. Nel corso degli ultimi, tempestosi anni della Roma repubblicana, fu cinque volte console, pontefice massimo per quasi vent'anni e dittatore.

This leaves only two dark paths for Cursor and Calvinus; either allow the pending reign of terror under a ruthless usurper, or unleash the unholy vengeance of an emperor betrayed.

La storia di Roma è la somma di tante storie epiche e memorabili, gesti disperati, eroici, spregiudicati, di protagonisti disposti a tutto pur di affermare la propria ambizione, ma anche il dominio sul mondo di una città capace di superare le più atroci disfatte e le difficoltà più estreme. Gli episodi accertati storicamente non sono meno straordinari di quelli prodotti dal mito, i protagonisti non meno passionali degli dei che veneravano. Dalla cacciata dei re all'aggressione di Pirro, dalle Guerre puniche a quelle civili, da Cesare ad Augusto.

The Roman Republic’s development from a city state into a world power that controlled large swathes of modern Italy, Gaul, and Spain, as well as other parts of Europe is seen by many as being the direct result of Roman fear of the “Celtic Threat”. The sacking of Rome by the Gauls in 386 BCE became indelibly imprinted into the Roman psyche, and with this fear came a desire to put as much distance as possible between the city of Rome and any potential enemy. The result was the gradual acquisition of buffer zones that became provinces of an empire that grew.
