Overview

For more than two centuries, Rome has slowly expanded her control over the tribes of ancient Italy.

Key Features

• But as her borders encroach on the proudly independent Greeks of the Southern coast, they call upon an ambitious young king from across the sea to come to their aid.
• Eager for glory, Pyrrhus, the “eagle” of Epirus, gathers his armies and sets sail for Italy.
• Commanding phalangites from Macedonia, cavalry from Thessaly, and rare War Elephants from Egypt, Pyrrhus will challenge Rome with the fiercest warriors of the Greek world.
• But the cost of victory will be high, and Pyrrhus' ambitions do not end at pushing back the Romans.
