They called him a traitor. He called it destiny.
Rome is on the edge of a knife. The Republic, for five hundred years the master of the world, is bleeding out in its own streets, crippled by corruption and factional hatred. The Senate, desperate to cling to power, orders its most successful general, Gaius Julius Caesar, to disarm and face his enemies.
His answer will be a declaration of war.
Alea Iacta Est is a relentless, epic saga of the Roman Civil War, a story of ambition so vast it shattered a civilization. Follow Caesar and his hardened legions as they cross the Rubicon, defy the Senate, and pursue their enemies across the Mediterranean.
Experience the legendary battles?Pharsalus, Thapsus, Munda?where armies clash and the fate of history hangs in the balance. Witness the political machinations of the men who would rule the world: the military genius of Caesar, the tragic pride of Pompey, the fiery passion of Antony, and the chilling ambition of the young Octavian.
This is the story of how a republic dies and an empire is born?not in the quiet halls of government, but in the blood and dust of the battlefield and the secret chambers of men who gamble everything for the chance to rule the world. The die is cast.
