You will be playing as somebody from Ancient Rome. You will be able to choose a lot of different things, such as your time period and birthplace. This is meant to give a historical, yet fun, personal trek through the place we know as Ancient Rome. Keep this in mind, as sometimes the realism might be a challenge. Ultimately, just have fun.
(You might want to brush up on your knowledge of Ancient Rome first, to make it easier to pick choices)
