Rome.

One of the largest and most successful empires in history. A brutal superpower whose military machine was one of the greatest the world has ever known.

For generations, her forces were second to none, and millions of people across the known world trembled at the sound of her marching legions.

The stories of Rome’s legionaries are well-documented, but there were others just as important as their all-conquering legions, much smaller units who were just as, if not more, important to the success of any mission.

These special groups of men had a huge influence on Rome’s continued greatness yet left little behind in terms of records and received little if any, recognition for their service.

In modern-day parlance, they would be called special forces and were deployed to achieve whatever advantage they could to aid Rome in the never-ending expansion of the empire. Elite units of men working in total secrecy behind enemy lines, relying on subterfuge and secrecy to achieve their often brutal missions.

They were real, they existed…and this is their story.
