Title:
Ostia
Description:
In 103 A.D., Emperor Trajan built a new expansion port called Ostia Portus, which was the most important port in Rome. The port was beautifully arranged in a hexagonal shape, received large amounts of goods from all over the empire, and developed into a logistics hub that sustained the prosperity of the imperial city of Rome.
This port’s most important role was to relay supplies of food to inland Rome, a huge city with a population of over a million people that was almost entirely dependent on imported grain from Egypt and Sicily for their needs. Other goods such as stone for the construction of roads and cities, cedar from Lebanon for the construction of ships, and wild and unusual animals for the Roman amphitheatre were also brought to this port.
You take the role of the owner of a huge fleet of ships, where many merchants and nobles flock into the port of Ostia to charter your ships. Use the money and resources you have gained from chartering your ships to expand your enterprise and meet the demand for wheat and other commodities to win the hearts of the people. Using your ships to explore other countries is also essential. Your tales of adventure and the discovery of exotic artifacts will surely pique the curiosity of the emperors and nobles alike.
The one who gains the most fame will be blessed with victory by the glorious Rome’s senate and citizens!
