It is the year 1000 after the founding of the city of Rome, or 247 AD according to our calendar. The Senate of Rome rule a vast empire, stretching from India to the Caribbean, and inhabited by countless peoples and species.
Rome owes this greatness to the advanced knowledge gained when they conquered Atlantis, and to a race of shark women created in the image of an Atlantean goddess, the sagatlae, whose rise to power served as a vital counterweight to the ambition of Rome’s leaders.
Roma Immortalis is an alternate history biopunk setting that combines three of my favorite subjects: ancient history, science fiction, and anthropomorphic animals.
