Conqueror’s Tales: Emperors & Assassins
When reigning over any sizeable area, or indeed the Roman Empire, there is always someone looking to dethrone you—or worse. Roman Emperors faced constant threats from outsiders and their own inner circle.
Political tensions and jealousy were rife in the Roman court, and many an Emperor met a sticky end at the hands of a usurper, or even their own staff. Let’s explore some of those unlucky leaders, and find out just who was behind their assassinations.
Betrayed By Brutus
One such Emperor who met their maker after a betrayal is infamous in his own right. Gaius Julius Caeser was stabbed to death in Rome on March 15, 44 BC by his own peers. The “dictator for life” of the Roman Republic, as he was named, was not considered tyrannical by most of his citizens. They thought of him favourably, and his military prowess helped to expand the Republic to include what is now Spain, France, Germany, and many more modern-day countries.
However, numerous members of the Roman Senate, a group of appointed political leaders, resented Caesar’s popularity and made a plan to kill the Roman leader. The murder plot was a sordid betrayal, and Caesar was stabbed a reported 23 times by the group of 60, which included his own nephew, Marcus Junius Brutus. The iconic quote “et tu, Brute?” (and you, Brutus?) was the last line that Caesar supposedly uttered before his demise.
The death of Julius Caesar was wildly unpopular with the Roman public, and many civil wars followed the assassination. Caesar’s grandnephew Octavian emerged as the new leader, renamed himself Augustus Caesar, and his reign served to mark the end of the Roman Republic and the start of the Roman Empire.

Polished Off By The Praetorian Guard
The Praetorian Guard served a very important purpose in the Roman Empire—protecting the Emperor. This began all the way back with the first Emperor of the Roman Empire, the aforementioned Augustus, but their reputation became that of ‘kingslayers’ as time went on. Their unfettered access to such rulers presented a problem in itself. If the Praetorians took a dislike to any one Emperor, they could effectively do away with him with no repercussions and install someone of their choosing.
The Praetorian Guard are thought to have been responsible for the deaths of over a dozen Emperors. The bodyguards were critical in the assassination of Caligula and the selection of his successor Claudius in 41 AD, and also played a part in the slaying of Commodus in 192 AD, Caracalla in 217 AD, Elagabalus in 222 AD, and Pupienus and Balbinus in 238 AD.
Oftentimes the Praetorian Guard would install their own Emperor after any one killing, only to assassinate him later on. When Galba ascended to the throne in 68 AD, he was then slain by the Praetorians only a year later after they felt they were not adequately rewarded for their actions.
But just why did the Praetorian Guard kill so many Emperors? Power and wealth ruled the day in Ancient Rome, and they wanted their piece of the pie, just as many officials did. Ensuring their own power was critical to their mission, and they were more than willing to partake in the slaying and installing of new Emperors when tempted by money or control.
Due to these rampant eliminations, Emperor Constantine the Great disbanded the Guard in 313 AD.

Conqueror’s Tales: Amazing Amphitheatres
Just as the crowds in Conqueror’s Blade: Colosseum delight in being entertained by fearsome gladiatorial combat, so too did their inspiration—the Ancient Romans.
The infamous Colosseum wasn’t the only amphitheatre where Romans would watch spectacles such as public executions and gladiatorial games. Around 230 amphitheatres have been located across the full expanse of the Roman Empire, including in countries such as modern-day Austria, England, Spain, and many more. The vast majority have, of course, been found in Italy.

These large, open-air theatres, which could be oval or circular, were equipped with raised seating and were known as “amphitheatrum”, meaning "theatre all around". A Roman amphitheatre is made up of three parts—-the arena (fighting area), the cavea (rows of stands or seating), and the vomitorium (archways at arena level and within the cavea for exiting in large swathes).
Let’s take a look at a few lesser-known (but just as important) Roman amphitheatres.
Pompeii
The Amphitheatre of Pompeii was the first arena built by the Romans in 70 BC. It survives to this day, despite being buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD. At its prime, it could hold 20,000 people, and its walls remain a key insight into the gladiator culture of Ancient Rome. Painted posters were found by archaeologists promoting their fighters, and even describing one gladiator as a "heartthrob of the girls." As we know, gladiators could become celebrities of their time, and these discoveries in Pompeii proved crucial in understanding their status.
Italica
The Roman amphitheatre of Italica is the fifth-largest Roman amphitheatre and still stands today in present-day Santiponce in Andalusia, Spain. Constructed in 117 AD under the reign of Emperor Hadrian, the brick and stone theatre could hold up to 25,000 spectators. Italica mainly played host to bloodsports including gladiator battles and animal hunting games.

Verona
Verona Arena is the third-largest amphitheatre in Italy to survive and can hold up to 22,000 people within its 44 levels. Built in 30 AD, it is remarkably well-preserved and still used to this day for open-air opera performances and concerts. It has played host to many shows and games over the centuries, from gladiator fights to jousting tournaments. Even today, the arena continues to amaze crowds with its range of events. Famous faces and household names who have held concerts there include Pink Floyd, Muse, Whitney Houston, Radiohead, and dozens more. It will also host the Closing Ceremony for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo.
