Hold four powers
Keep Senate, Plebs, Legions and Treasury away from catastrophe without making any one of them dangerously strong.
Five emperors · one dynasty
You do not play one emperor. You inherit a dynasty. Rule as Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius and Nero—then discover what Rome remembers.
Read the room, choose a response and live with the result. The Senate, people, legions and treasury all want something—and none will wait forever.
Keep Senate, Plebs, Legions and Treasury away from catastrophe without making any one of them dangerously strong.
Choices show their likely direction. The exact cost of rule—and the people behind it—can still surprise you.
Unrest spreads across the map. Spend limited orders to garrison, relieve or abandon trouble before territory collapses.
Your reign shapes the next emperor. Bank Legacy, choose reforms and build a dynasty capable of reaching Nero's final judgement.
Each emperor brings his own court, crises and dangers. Survive long enough to pass power forward, or meet an ending that belongs only to the Rome you made.
Face the court, steady the map, spend your Legacy and read the Annals your choices leave behind.
