In the year 44 BC Ceasar was assassinated, and his heir apparent Octavian soon faced a strugle for control of the Roman Empire. Along with his two allies, Mark Antony and Lepidus, he waged a series of wars against the two arch-conspirators Brutus and
Cassius, as well as the innocent Cicero. Shortly after the conspirators were defeated, the victors took to fighting among themselves for supremacy of the known world. You have until 14 AD, the year Octavian died, to reclaim one-half of the empire.
This will force the weaker factions to acknowledge your triumphs and appoint you the new Ceasar. Will you be remembered as re-uniting the Empire, or as a tragic villian in Shakespeare's Theatre?
