Command your favourite ancient army

• Romans.
  Rome owes its grandeur to its legions: disciplined, battle-hardened and highly trained. Their deployment on the battlefield forever changed the face of military strategy.
  
  
• Egyptians.
  With the Egyptian civilization you go back to the splendor of the Pharaohs. Temples, pyramids, sphinxes... From your capital, Alexandria, you will have to defend your ancient Empire from the ambition of Rome.
  
  
• Britons.
  The warriors of the island of Britannia have two assents against the Roman invaders: their indomitable spirit and a hostile terrain that favors war on their terms.
  
  
• Germans.
  The warlike character of the German tribes kept the Roman Empire at bay for centuries. Their constant incursions made the northern border the most dangerous of the Empire.
  
  
• Gauls.
  The Celtic tribes of central Europe united for the first time in an effort to stop Rome's inexorable advance. An unequal battle began that would test the courage and determination of an entire people.
  
  
• Iberians.
  "The first to be invaded, the last to be subdued" (Octavius Augustus). Tenacious and stalwart, their extraordinary endurance allowed them to overcome even the harshest conditions.
  
  
• Carthaginians.
  Numids, Berbers, Tuaregs, Mauritanians...warriors from all over Africa joined the Carthaginian army attracted by the prestige of Hannibal, one of the greatest strategists of all ages.
