Part of the Roman Empire and home to many of the infamous Gladiators of the age, Capua became hotly contested in 212 BCE.

Finally, you pit your army against the armies of your opponents, trying to gain control of the six different districts of Capua. Each district you control makes your army that much stronger. In the end, the player who controls the most, and the most powerful districts will reign supreme over the city.
