Overview

What if the Roman Empire had never fallen? The history of this world took a different turn. The Roman Empire did not collapse - it continued to grow, expanding across nearly all of Europe, North America, the Mediterranean region, and beyond. Technological development matches that of Earth in the year 2081. But behind the gleaming façade of skyscrapers with Corinthian columns, high-speed trains, and global internet lies a system of ruthless oppression. Slavery is omnipresent - and in the provinces of the Roman Empire, it is young women who suffer most: chosen by lottery, and only the most beautiful make it onto the lists. Twenty-year-old art student Lydia Wildenhain leads a normal life in the Roman Empire province Germania - until officers of the Imperial Police arrest her in the middle of a lecture. She has been selected by the dreaded ""Great Lottery"" chosen by a secret algorithm, destined for a life as property of the Roman elite. Lydia ends up on the slave market, is auctioned off, and becomes the property of the decadent senatorial Augusta family. Their spoiled daughter Julia sees her only as a new toy to break. When Julia enters her new slave into the infamous Ludi Veneris - one of the Empire's most popular gang-bang entertainment shows, broadcast live on imperial television - Lydia's fate seems sealed. Beyond the Mediterranean lies Africa - the only continent to resist Roman rule. But the path there is dangerous, and the Empire does not surrender its trophies without a fight. IMPERIUM ROMANUM is an alternate history thriller. Enter a Rome that never fell - a world of dazzling towers and modern arenas, where smartphones exist alongside slave collars and sports cars race down streets lined with temples of Jupiter.
