Rome: Rise & Fall Of An Empire

113 BC. Rome is a small empire on the edge of the Mediterranean. After several disastrous defeats, the Roman elite are forced to turn to a commoner, Marius, to shake up the army and save Rome!

As Rome was busy expanding her borders, a Thracian warrior, Spartacus, was to lead a 70,000-strong slave revolt within Italy that could have destroyed the Republic.

60BC. Over-powerful generals and money corrupt the Roman Republic. With Rome falling into and out of civil wars, Julius Caesar is to defy all rivals and laws to make himself dictator for life!

In 9 AD, a ferocious Germanic chieftain, Arminius, slaughtered General Varus' army at the Teutoburg Forest in a landmark battle that would define the edge of the empire.

In 162 AD, Marcus Aurelius inherited a rapidly growing Roman Empire, embroiled in a war on two fronts. But could he bring peace and prosperity back to the Empire?
