SAGA 2 Age of Caesars

S.P.Q.R. Senatus Populusque Romanus

Four letters paying tribute to the Roman Senate, carried proudly by the legions of Imperial Rome as they set out to conquer the world.

Rome was forever changed after an ambitious proconsul crossed a modest Italian river at the head of his legions, defying every prohibition as he marched toward the capital. Julius Caesar would bring about the fall of the Roman Republic and sow the seeds from which the greatest empire the world had ever known would arise.

But the Empire would be born through blood and fire, at the cost of civil wars fought by ambitious generals seeking to become Imperator themselves. Throughout its existence, Rome faced barbarians at its gates, and its most fearsome enemies emerged during the imperial era: Germans, Dacians, Sarmations, and Parthians gave it no respite and constantly challenged the Pax Romana.

Rome's military machine continuously adapted and improved during the first centuries of our era. The consul Marius reformed it profoundly by creating a professional army, while Augustus ensured that the loyalty of the legions belonged to the Emperor rather than to their generals. Successive emperors continued to expand it, integrating allied and conquered peoples into the ranks of the legions. At its height, nearly half a million men served beneath the Eagles - military numbers on a scale previously unknown.

The Age of Caesars is the SAGA universe that will allow you to set out to conquer the world at the head of the Roman legions, or to stand against the Empire and its thirst for domination.

It immerses you in the upheavals of the Roman world, its complex evolution marked by temporary allies and eternal enemies, moments of glory and mortal danger. The 8 factions in this supplement are compatible with The Age of Hannibal and The Age of Alexander, and come with their battle boards, historical background, legendary units, and special rules. This trilogy of Saga settings offers a unique overview of the Greco-Roman ancient world.

In addition to these factions, you will also find several mercenaries ready to sell their talents to your warband, as well as a Stratagem system allowing you to customise your army's tactics on the battlefield!
