"It is heaven's will that my Rome shall be the capital of the world."
One-thousand years of history are woven around the story of Rome. With this AD&D game supplement, PCs can stand fast before a mass of charging Gauls with Julius Caesar, vie for the emperor's attention in the coliseum, bellow oratory in the senate, or dispense the pax romana to the ends of the earth in the name of the emperor Hadrian.
The Glory of Rome describes Roman character kits, magic, equipment, culture, and settings for exciting roleplaying in Earth's past, or in a Roman-style realm in any gaming world.
Experience the grandeur that was Rome!
