At the height of its power, the Roman Empire stretched over more than two million square kilometers and was home to over one hundred million inhabitants.
Throughout its centuries of existence, the Empire was responsible for major advances in engineering, architecture, science, arts, and literature. By the early 5th century, decades of political corruption, economic crisis, and an overburdened army had severely weakened the Empire's stability.
This situation paved the way for violent incursions by aggressive barbarian tribes, leading to a decline from which Rome would not recover.
Now, citizens, soldiers, and allies of Rome must unite to protect the Empire.
