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.
