You are the leader of a political faction in the Senate, fighting your opponents to gain and keep total power. Corruption, muder, seduction all mean are legitimate. You will make certain that the people of Rome do not riot and cause the city to fall. Nothing better for that than to undertake wars of expansion. Your mighty legions led by brilliant generals are your best tool and will have to fight bitterly. The road is long and full of danger but as a clever statesman you should be able o achieve your supreme ambition - to become Emperor of Rome.
