Our story began on the edge of the unknown regions in 723.M7 BBY (753.M1 BC) on one of many peninsulas on the third planet from its sun, where twin boys were born. After their birth, a king ordered them killed, but, like the will of the Force, their destiny was not to end by the river. Placed in a basket and sent adrift on the Tiber River, they were left to perish. Yet, the mysterious designs of the Force are hard to thwart. The basket, guided by unseen hands, came to rest on the riverbank where a she-wolf found the infants. The wolf nursed and protected them until a shepherd discovered the miraculous scene.
The shepherd and his wife raised the boys as their own. As they grew, the twins, Romulus and Remus, became renowned for their strength and sense of justice. Together, they led a rebellion that deposed the king who had once sought their death. Victorious and emboldened, the twins sought to establish a new city along the very river that had once been their cradle.
Disagreement arose between the brothers about the location of their city. In a tragic turn of fate, their quarrel led to the death of Remus, leaving Romulus to fulfill their shared dream alone. On the Palatine Hill, Romulus laid the foundations of a city that would endure for millennia. On that momentous day, Rome was born, and Romulus was crowned its first king.
Unbeknownst to Romulus, the crowning of Rome's first king set in motion a series of events that would echo through time. The city would grow in power and influence, conquering first its neighboring tribes, then the entire Italian peninsula, and eventually the vast expanse of the Mediterranean, which they would come to call Mare Nostrum—"Our Sea."
The legacy of Rome would extend far beyond its ancient foundations. By 035.M05 BBY (075.M3 AD), the influence of the Eternal City would reach a zenith where no human on Earth could escape the dominion of its colors. The children of Rome would unify the world under its banner, the dreams of its founders fulfilled in an empire that would stand as a testament to the enduring will of its people and the mysterious force that had guided their destiny from the very beginning.

Caesar's Dacian Campaign - From march to September Caesar would campaign in Dacia, which would end with the Annexation of Dacian lands south of the Danube through the formation of the province of Morsia and the Dacian tribes to the north would bow informally to rome with the ones on the new border with rome becoming client kingdoms.
013.M7 BBY (43.M1 BC)
Armenian War - starting in march Caesar would campaign in Armenia as Octavius would be in Rome running the empire as Caesar was in the field. In mid May the campaign reached a tipping point with more Armenian nobles swaying to Caesar's side, though the capital still remained unconquered. Caesar began conducting affairs from the city of Tigranocerta, and with Caesar open mind to crowning a new king of Armenia would force King Ardavasdi to bid for peace. The Parthians, sensing that this battle had been lost, withdrew their forces in a controlled manner with no great dishonor and at little cost for they had delayed the Roman Legions by several months and even managed to inflict disproportionate casualties using their hit-and-run tactics. And now both sides prepared for the Invasion of Parthia itself with Crown Prince Pecorus having summoned the best of his cavalry for a mighty counter-attack.
Caesar's Parthian Campaign - The campaign began with Crown Prince Pecorus leading a force of the best cavalry that Parthia could muster, launching an attack against Syria. However, they were stopped by a Roman force from the local garrisons in the Battle of Mount Gandaras, where Crown Prince Pecorus was killed, and his army retreated back to Parthia. Caesar then would take the 16 Legions and 20 000 Armenians to subdue the kingdom of Osroene to secure their back line, only taking four weeks thanks to the Diplomatic groundwork. Caesar would then march to the capital and in a decisive battle taking the city. After the battle Caesar would make peace with the Parthians, which ended with Roman control of Mesopotamia as the province of mesopotamia.

Augustus First Germanic Campaign - starting in 41 BC after being named governor of the province of gaul, Octavius along with his trusted ally Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa began fortifying the roman border along the rhine around fifty military bases. Octavius would also establish an alliance with the Batavi in preparation for military action in Germania Libera. In the spring of 40 BC, with the preparations well underway, Octavius crossed the Rhine with an expeditionary force consisting of several roman legions along with auxiliary troops from the Batavi and other local roman allies. The initial phase of the campaign focused on Octavius' swift and decisive takeover of key territories along the river and creating a buffer zone that would shield Roman territories from potential Germanic raids. Roman forces faced initial resistance from some Germanic tribes, but with Octavius using the same tactics as his adopted father used in Gaul, he would give those who submitted to Roman authority favorable terms, while those who resisted faced the force of the Legions. This campaign would leave Rome in control of Germania Libera along with Octavius implementing a policy of Romanization, encouraging the adoption of Roman customs and governance in the newly conquered territories.
008.M7 BBY (38.M1 BC)
Augustus Second Germanic Campaign - After his successful Campaign into Germania Libera, Octavius would march over the course of 38 and 37 BC, marched his army between the Rhine and the Elbe, and met little resistance except from the Sicambri, who came close to exterminating the Sicambri, and had those who survived transported to the Roman side of the Rhine, where they could be watched more closely. Though most in Rome would see Germania as essentially conquered, Octavius and Marcus Agrippa would see this as only on the surface.

The next year, conflicts between Rome and the Cherusci flared up. While the elite members of one faction sought stronger ties with Roman leaders, the Cherusci as a whole would continue to resist for the next twenty years. Marcus would be able to handle the Cherusci warrior bands and would defend them in short order.
