part in a number of introduction quests before the main story arc takes place.
Roman history is fascinating, with lots of intrigue, wars, political unrest, and

spectacle living in a Roman town or city would be. You can also make use of all
of the different tribes and countries that fought against the Romans as the
factions in the game.
