The Roman Republic comes to an end, but not before a power struggle between Caesar and Pompey. Players command their legions and strategically deploy them on key battlefields to conquer the provinces and become ruler of the republic.

Players draw tokens from a bag to determine their starting powers and replenish their losses. Players allocate their resources to each province, gain tactical advantages and battle for control of the republic.

Three modules to expand the game are included, poison your opponent, deploy powerful Centurions and use underhanded tactics to gain advantages in the Expansions of Rome.
