The Roman Empire In The First Century chronicles the triumphs and near catastrophies of the Roman Empire as it rose to its zenith. Order from Choas recounts the glorious rule of Augustus Caesar as he ends civil strife and ushers in the golden age of Rome, his sucessor and step-son Tiberius attempts to emulate his mentor before succombing to reculsive depotism in Years of Trial, before the notorious Caligula dons the loral wreath and brings chaos.
