Rules Two mighty, ancient empires sail the seas, found new cities, erect glorious temples, and develop new technologies. However terri- tories and resources are limited, and soon peaceful coexistence threatens to change to military conflict. Who can best manage their state affairs? Who can benefit their people most when engaging the vagaries of fate? And who has the strategic genius to lead their legions and fleets to victory? The answer lies in your hands. II GAME MATERIAL

TACAPE IV ACTIONS

The actions on the rondel are described on the following pages. There are three kinds of actions on the rondel: • Actions to produce resources: MARMOR, FERRUM and AURUM (marble, iron and gold) • Actions to utilize produced resources: TEMPLUM, MILITIA, and SCIENTIA (Temple, Arming, and Know-How). These utilization actions are located exactly opposite of the corresponding resource production actions on the rondel. • DUELLUM (Maneuver) for military action - which appears twice on the rondel. PRODUCTION ACTIONS Examples

choose the action AURUM AQUILEIA CREMONA and collect 4 gold: 3 gold MARMOR, FERRUM, AURUM TOLOSA from Ancona and 1 gold (MARBLE, IRON, GOLD) from Roma. In addition they receive 1 coin. GENUA Each of these 3 actions produces the respective resource. On MASSILIA
