The western part was to be crippled by a series of poor emperors, bad administration, civil unrest and large scale migration by barbarians into Roman lands.

The Barbarian Invasion expansion pack moves the action on by over 350 years, to the end of the Roman world. Along the way, you'll have to dodge assassins' knives, build and govern cities, train and command armies, obey the wishes of the Senate (some of the time), stage gladiator games, and face many other challenges and surprises.
