Original Version
Players begin with a Caesar, six generals, a small number of combat units 4 infantry, and a home province. There are six home provinces: Hispania, Italia, Macedonia, Numidia, Egypt, and Galatia-- each of which contains a fortified city. The selection of home provinces available to the players is determined by how many are playing. The goal is to capture the other Caesars.
All units (with the exception of galleys) must be grouped in a legion containing any number of up to six units. Each legion must be under the control of a general or Caesar to move, although a legion may be stationed without a commander in a province containing a city. All reinforcements are placed in the home province, and cannot be moved to the battlefronts until the beginning of the following turn.

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or version:
“All good things were at one time bad things; every original sin has developed into an original virtue.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Truth cannot be defined or tested by agreement with ‘the world’; for not only do truths differ for different worlds but the nature of agreement between a world apart from it is notoriously nebulous. Rather—speaking loosely and without trying to answer either Pilate’s question or Tarski’s—a version is to be taken to be true when it offends no unyielding beliefs and none of its own precepts.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
