The Roman Republic is on the brink of turmoil. After a long and successful career of conquest in Gaul, Julius Caesar set his sights on home. In command of loyal troops and with the backing of the people, Caesar marches back to claim the dictatorship and, with it, absolute control of his future empire. His refusal to accept the terms of the Senate, who had demanded he lay down his arms and forfeit power, rings loud in the ears of the elite. As his troops lie in wait on the banks of the Rubicon, the Senate gathers to figure out how to stop his seizure of power and maintain their Republic.
As members of the Roman Senate, delegates must brave one of the most pivotal political crises in history. Should Rome prepare for a civil war, try to negotiate, or accept Caesar as a ruler? Is a Republic the best solution? Do you think of yourself, or place your interests in the health of Rome and her institutions? Different factions with competing interests will emerge, and who will prevail is up to you. With Caesar rapidly approaching, you must hurry to reach your goals. The fate of the Republic and Rome itself lies in your hands.
