About Imperator: Rome

Imperator: Rome is a grand strategy game from Paradox Development Studio that sweeps across the tumultuous centuries between Alexander's Successor Empires in the East and the founding of the Roman Empire. It invites you to relive the pageantry and the challenges of empire building in the classical era, set around a Mediterranean where close-knit nations tested their strength and virtue against one another in fierce combat.

The game evokes an age shaped by towering historical figures, names like Alexander, Hannibal, and Caesar, alongside the mighty kings, clever generals, and would-be gods who left their mark on the ancient Mediterranean. Their cultural and political legacy became inseparable from what we now think of as Western Civilization, yet, as the game reminds you, nothing about that outcome was ever guaranteed.

That sense of open possibility drives the experience: it asks whether you can change the course of history itself. To do so, you'll manage your population, stay alert to treachery within your ranks, and keep faith with your gods as you navigate the ambitions of rival powers. Blending strategy with simulation and more casual accessibility on PC, Imperator: Rome turns the classical world into a stage for your own imperial ambitions.
