Greek States
Greek States
Most of the Greek states were 'poleis', cities with surrounding villages. The world-renowned culture of the Greeks relies on the toil of farmers, the skills of merchants and soldiers, and the wits of philosophers. Epirus lacks a single central city, but it is Greek through and through.

Rome
Rome
Rome will rule the world. It is her destiny and always has been.

Claiming a line of descent back to Hercules, Romans are not lacking in pride. Romans are not lacking in fierceness: their city was founded by Romulus and Remus, twins raised by a wolf. Roman armies may have been beaten, but they have always dragged themselves back into any fight, and battled on.

And now, surrounded by rivals and potential enemies, Rome faces challenges at every turn. He who rules in Rome can rule the world, but only through the glory of conquest!
Rome Civil War
Gallic Tribes
Gallic Tribes
These Celts are an influential, vigorous people: their migration has taken them to the shores of the Mediterranean; they have invaded Macedon, Illyria, Thrace and Asia Minor; they have sacked Rome. But they are not just a warrior culture. Gauls are master craftsmen too.
Gallic Tribes Civil War
Germanic Tribes
Germanic Tribes
The Germanic tribes are fearless warriors, entirely at home in their dark and forbidding forests, worshipping dark, forbidding gods. Their name, in Latin, is a Gallic borrowing, "ger" and "mani" meaning near-men or neighbours. They are not given to acting in a neighbourly fashion: they will take from the weak, and value their independence above all.

Eastern Empires
Eastern Empires
Based on the remnants of Babylonian, Assyrian and Median empires, Achemenids built up the first true super-state, touching three continents. After the fall of Persia the old traditions were respected by the conquerors, and the old territorial administration survived for long time.

The colourful people of the multi-national empire were tolerant and receptive, nourishing the Hellenisation of the state and the survival of the old ways alike.

Balkan Tribes
Balkan Tribes
The Illyrian tribes established themselves as pirates along the Adriatic coast and as far east as Apollonia, sweeping away the culture-complexes of the Neolithic Balkans as the Bronze Age dawned.

Largely remaining distinct from their Illyrian and Greek neighbours, the Thracian Getae and Odrysians were so powerful that the Greeks feared their descent from the north to destroy civilisation.

The Tylis were Celts who settled in northern Thrace following Brennus' failed invasion of Greece in the 4th century BC.

Iberian Tribes
Iberian Tribes
The Iberian peninsula is inhabited by many different tribes. Although the Celtiberian tribes are influenced by their wider Celtic roots, to the west the Lusitani are pure indigenous Iberians. All are united as renowned warriors, and in particular as swordsmen and excellent cavalry.

Successor Kingdoms
After Alexander's death, his mightiest generals tore apart his empire as they fought for it. Over the years the claims and counter-claims of legitimacy deepened the rivalry between the Successors. While all claimed to be Greek and promoted Hellenisation in their kingdoms, each also claimed to be the one true inheritor of Alexander's legacy...

Britannic Tribes
Britannic Tribes
Described by Pytheas as "Pretannoi" or "Pretani" - the "painted ones" - these Celts are a fierce and independent people from the island of Hai Bretannai.

They were hard to pacify after a widespread rebellion lead by Boudicca.

Carthage
Carthage
Carthage or “New Town” was once a Phoenician trading colony. It is now a trading and maritime empire in its own right. Such are the blessings of Ba’al Hammon to his followers.

The Carthaginians are a devout, hard-working people who have spent generations struggling to control the trade of the Western Mediterranean. This has inevitably brought them into conflict with expanding Greek colonies and with the upstart Romans. Traders they may be by choice, but they have become warriors through necessity, and very good warriors at that. Through astute use of mercenaries they have turned their silver into swords.
Carthage Civil War
Black Sea Colonies
Black Sea Colonies
From around the 6th century BC, the Greek city-states began to colonise the far-flung corners of their world in order to grow rich from trading the natural resources to be found there. Inevitably, this brought them into conflict with the local nomads – Scythians, Sarmatians, Roxolani – all resented the settlers, their ‘civilised’ ways, their wealth. Life in the Black Sea colonies, therefore, wasn’t just a rush for wealth, it was a struggle for survival against a relentless, tireless opponent.

Desert Kingdoms
Living on the fringes of civilisation, the people of the African and Arabian deserts had to adapt to survive in the harshest of conditions. Despite the privations of such an environment, they found ways to not only cope, but thrive and prosper in these regions. Their ingenuity gave birth to new irrigation methods and their relentless spirit made them some of the most prominent traders, fearless warriors, expert sailors and clever engineers of the ancient world.
Nomadic Tribes
Nomadic Tribes
The Scythians and Sarmatians are aggressive nomad warriors, famed for their horsemanship and skill with the bow. They have left a trail of destruction in their wake as they have moved south and west from the endless steppes. Despite their warlike nature, they are also canny craftsmen and cunning traders.

Empire Divided

Nomadic Tribes
Nomadic Tribes
The north-eastern steppes are home to the nomadic Scythian and Sarmatian tribes. Fierce warriors all, they are renowned for their riders and skill in archery from horseback. Descending from their Caucasian heartlands, both Rome and Persia have faced their wrath and felt the devastation these saddle-born raiders leave in their wake.

During the 2nd century AD, under pressure from these hordes of nomadic killers, many settled barbarian tribes have begun moving to new territory to escape, putting pressure upon the Roman frontier. Now, once such tribe – the Gothi – have come into contact with the extremely warlike Alani, who have forced them away from the Empire’s borders and on into Asia.

Germanic Kingdoms

The Roman Empire's weakness and instability have proved most fortunate for the Germanic tribes living north of its borders. With plenty of land to raid and pillage, war between neighbouring peoples has been set aside in favour of coordinated attacks by new tribal confederations on unprotected Roman provinces. To counter this, Rome has allied with many of the western tribes along the border who refused to join their brethren.

To the north and south-east of Germania, the Saxoni and the Gothi have begun to rise and harass Rome’s borders, intending to capitalise on the crisis therein and become great powers in their own right – at any cost!

With the decline of the Parthian Empire and the defeat of the last Arsacid king, a new dynasty has risen in their place. The Sassanid Persians have succeeded the Parthians as the new eastern superpower and rival to Rome. Swiftly marshalling their military forces into rapid expansion, they have quickly reconquered many of the eastern provinces that had fallen into lawlessness or independent rule.

Having faced defeat inflicted at Roman hands, at the city of Hatra in modern-day Iran and in the strategically-important hills of Armenia, where Rome's well-ordered Legions finally pushed back the burgeoning Persian war machine, the scene is set for many future confrontations. However, now Rome's strength lies in tatters, the Sassanids could capitalise on their mortal enemy’s current state of disarray – ancient Persia’s glorious legacy may yet be revived!

The Divided Roman Empire
The Divided Roman Empire
Following the death of Emperor Alexander Severus, the Roman Empire has fallen into deep crisis. Its generals conspire and fight amongst themselves, while its outer provinces, starved of the resources necessary to defend themselves adequately, have fallen prey to barbarian raids and the resurgent might of the new Persian Empire, the Sassanids.

During this chaos, Rome’s western provinces have seceded and formed a separate state, whilst in the east a new kingdom – one that aspires to become an empire – has arisen around the city of Palmyra, in the Syrian desert. Infested with bandits and wracked by civil war, the Roman Empire has never come so close to collapse!

Britannic Celts
Britannic Celts
Britannia has been a Roman province ever since the Emperor Claudius established his authority over its Celtic inhabitants. However, Rome has never successfully conquered the entire island – the northern tribes have resisted any and all attempts to ‘civilise’ them. While the southern part of Britannia has been heavily Romanised, many of the Celtic people do not mix with their invaders, instead keeping to their villages and hillforts.

With the advent of the Gallic Roman Empire and its separation from Rome, Celtic chieftains treat this new Roman faction with justified suspicion - whether the time is ripe to reconquer the British Isles for the Celts, or ally with the Gallic Romans, the best course of action remains to be seen.

Rise of the Republic

Italic Tribes
Italic Tribes
The Italian tribes came to Italy centuries ago, and were well established by the time Greek settlers arrived to form new colonies. Greek culture was far older and far superior than that of the tribes; gradually the Italic people adopted elements of Greek culture, shaping their own societies through the many Hellenic religious, artistic, political and scientific achievements. However, over time, the two have become rivals, and at times enemies as the Etruscans and later the Romans have developed their own rich tapestry of breakthroughs and achievements. Now, they stand ready to challenge the Greek world – to sweep away the old in favour of the new!

Greek States
The Greek States find themselves in the aftermath of what can only be described as a fratricidal conflict: the Peloponnesian War. However, Athens, though on the losing side, have adjusted to defeat much better than Sparta have to victory. Despite the many Athenian casualties, which have caused the city problems with post-war manpower, and the erosion of her public and private wealth, she has survived the critical years and recovered to once again become a leading power in the region. These are the chaotic conditions which many Greek city-states are now compelled to live under – if Athens can raise its head once more, then others may follow suit!

Italian Civilisations
Italian Civilisations
Central Italy has always been a land of warmth and generous fertility. Over the centuries, many tribes have become fascinated by its lush valleys, green forests and abundant natural resources. The first Indo-European peoples arrived here in prehistoric times, and with ingenuity and independent spirit, some managed to grow into larger entities with their own political and economic significance. Among them were the Greek-influenced Etruscans and Samnites, who were the dominant Italic civilisations before the rise of the Romans. However, right now they dominate the region, as best of friends and worst of enemies!

Nuragic Tribes
Nuragic Tribes
The Nuragic tribes have inhabited Sardinia for more than a millennium, their origins stretching all the way back to the dawn of time. Hardworking and talented builders, they have made excellent use of the abundance of natural stone found on the island; Sardinia itself is their canvas – be they temples, wells or villas under construction. Thus far, Nuragic society has stood the test of time, despite the growing political turmoil gripping the region. Right now, the mighty north African trading empire of Carthage is the regional superpower, but that could all change if the Greek states expand further westwards or the Italic tribes master the sea. If Nuragic tribes wish to survive, they must protect their island and advance their technology!

Gallic Tribes
Gallic Tribes
The Gallic tribes originate from Central and Western Europe, beyond the Alps. Some centuries ago, their ancestors crossed the mountains in search for better lands and a milder climate – what they found was a place rich in fertility and resources. Many tribes have settled these territories and built their own cities, their proud and independent culture gradually adopting some aspects of the influential, neighbouring Etruscan civilisation. Over time, the Gauls have also improved their military prowess through their dealings with the well-organised Romans and Greeks, and the peoples of Italy have developed profitable and highly-valued trade relations with the Gauls in return. So, now it is well established – the Gallic tribes are here to stay!
