At the height of its power, the Roman Empire covered a vast amount of territory and brought major advancements in engineering, architecture, science, art, and literature. Corruption and economic crisis has made the empire unstable and paved the way for aggressive barbarian tribes to attack.

Love it! Best pandemic boardgame. Contrary to regular pandemic, every role and every event is equally useful. The female roles are tricky/ manipulative, the male roles are more straightforward/ combative. The dice, which are tipped in Rome's favor, mitigate programmed play. Forts are more useful than research centers. Travel is less whimsical. Remove cubes by either fighting or allying with barbarians.

Mixing up the Pandemic formula in some interesting ways. Dice rolls, legion recruitment, barbarians migrating from their homelands. Not quite as different as Rising Tide, but still very cool.
