Hmm... the difference between Rome at its extent and the Med map we have now...
- most of Africa
+ Brittania, Caledonia
+ Germania
+ Mesopotamia (briefly conquered under Trajan)
+ Roman Armenia
iirc that's it.

also a historical freak esp roman empire it could be cool just for the notion of it. one could perhaps include sea regions like africa 1890 to differentiate it from med. map?

I think if you want a map themed for ancient Roman Empire, then go for Ancient Rome.
We don't have any non USA cities, and we also don't have a map from that time.

I do not consider this a necropost.

Matty did not necropost either.

It would be interesting to see this map with sea territories over the Mediterranean... also it would be somewhat different in terms of gameplay to med in itself tbh. (It could also be smaller with less territories...)

It'd be alright if it had a unique graphics theme. The gameplay would be very similar to Medi. I think you'd rely more on the looks to really set it apart.

But there's a lot of history buffs who would probably really really like to have a map like this.

Maybe something like this with the smaller territories?: http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/Roman%20Empire

Maybe Byzantine or Holy Roman Empire map instead? (I know I'm kind of getting off topic here...)

With the HRE, would be fun to incorporate coats of arms like this one: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/068/9/2/Holy_Roman_Empire_by_Hillfighter.png
