Q: What sort of research did the development team do on the real Roman Empire that was used in the game?
A: Mark Jacobs president and CEO here at Mythic came up with the game's backstory, and he did a lot of research into various phases of (real) Roman history in order to come up with the alternate history we use in the game. For example, we're basing the game on the Roman Republic, not the Empire, because Mark wants the Romans in the game to be more reflective of the democratic ideals of the Republic, not to the expansionism of the Empire.
