Britannia
The warriors of the island of Britannia have two assets against the Roman invaders: their indomitable spirit and hostile terrain that favors war on their terms.
Germania
The warlike character of the German tribes kept the Roman Empire at bay for centuries. Their constant incursions made the northern border the most dangerous of the Empire.
Gallia
The Celtic tribes of central Europe united for the first time to stop Rome’s inexorable advance. An unequal battle began that would test the courage and determination of an entire people.
Hispania
“The first to be invaded, the last to be subdued” (Octavius Augustus). Tenacious and stalwart, their extraordinary endurance allowed them to overcome even the harshest conditions.
Carthago
Numidas, Berbers, Tuaregs, Mauritanians… The warriors from all over North Africa joined the Carthaginian army, attracted by the prestige of Hannibal, one of the greatest strategists of all ages.
