Extend your influence network in the Empire to seize power and become the true emperor of Rome!

Prepare for your rise to power by purchasing cards and constructing your influence network (deck).

Choose the right time to declare yourself Emperor. Once you do, deploy your legions, fulfill objectives, and defeat the other pretenders. Be careful though, because most of the objectives can be stolen from you during the game. The first pretender to control 4 objectives at the same time will become the true emperor or Rome...

This game was created in partnership with Lyon's Lugdunum - Musée et Théâtres romains with support from the museum's scientific team.
