Rome wasn't built in a day, a legion wasn't founded within a day. The senate has ordered Lucious Lusius Marcellus to raise a new legion in the city of Pella in order to defend the republic's eastern borders. With grand ambitions, he started to muster his forces, recruiting skilled men like evocati Flavious Manius Brutus and ex-gladiator Timon.
Things never looked good for them, as rival empires make ready for war and tribes from all angles lurk within the dark, what fate lies in waiting for the newly founded Legio V: Macadonia? How far will they on in the name of Rome?

Damocles
"Your job is not done. The god of war and the god of vengeance does not rest. We know no such thing of mercy." Marius, a Roman warrior, lives a life of pure jealousy, envy, and anger after his father set an expectation Marius must follow through: becoming a general of the Roman army. However, there's a certain someone that is in his way of obtaining the title he must get: Caelius, the legatus legionis (the highest role in the Roman military). Living in the year 53 BCE is already rough, but add in competition then there is nothing more powerful than the gift of unadulterated anger. The god of war and the god of death are watching him, but which will visit him first?Complete
Nailing Your Dictatress
You met Julius Caesar and he's a pretty (and devious) lady...? Forty years before Caesar's fateful crossing of the Rubicon, there was another dictator - one who set the stage for the empire to come. A powerful strongman who declared himself the savior of the Roman Republic as he burned it to the ground. What was he thinking as he shattered hundreds of years of tradition to march the legions on Rome itself? What about when he sank the city in mass terror as he put up his famous proscriptions? In the historical record, we are left with only pieces of their story, meaning to really understand what he was like, we had to be there. Modern-day everyman Richard Williams knows little of ancient Rome or its citizen-farmers, praetors, or garum. However, he does know he needs to work three jobs a week to support himself, broke up with his girlfriend, and has died in a traffic accident. Therefore, he's rather confused when he wakes up in Rome two millennia ago and meets a seven-foot tall horned woman with massive assets. Despite his lack of knowledge in this regard, he's pretty sure that's *not* part of history. A very, very, very historically accurate retelling of the fall of the Roman Republic in a gender-role reversed world where the whims of powerful women move the fates of nations.
The Demons of Rome
A small beggar boy, the most powerful mage in a millennium. A wise cracking baby owl of death. An academy filled with the next rulers of the world and a war in Gaul about to start. You might say trouble is brewing. Rome wasn't built in a day, or so we say. But what if it was, what if powerful forces were at work, and they carried on playing their part throughout its history? Magic, monsters and people who could control them. Power is a game played out with monstrous pieces all across the ancient world and at its very heart was Rome. Despite its power and influence, the city has fallen on hard times, with wars raging across the northern lands, most men have been levied into the legions but it still isn't enough to achieve the total victory the senate want. When Iatus is pulled off the streets and put to the mage's test he knows he's probably going to die. But when he survives his encounter with a powerful demon, he starts down the path of war, murder and the endless pursuit of power.Complete
