About This Game

Immerse yourself in Roman history with this captivating management game where your mission is to make the Phrygian goddess Cybele accepted into the Roman pantheon. Influence public opinion, meet charismatic poets, and navigate through tumultuous historical events. But beware, a bad decision could easily condemn the goddess to be rejected by the Roman population! Can you convince the Romans to worship Cybele?

Meet famous Roman poets

Meet Martial, Juvenal, Lucretius, Virgil or Ovid, and try to convince them to sing the praises of the goddess Cybele. Other famous Romans will also cross your path, and you can even ask for help from the gods!

Make strategic choices

In Romanizer, each of your actions has consequences - positive for some poets, and negative for others. It's up to you to find the balance that will best satisfy all the parties and access the Pantheon of Roman gods!

Live historical events

Conflicts, revolts, assassinations... Many historical events, different from game to game, will disrupt your strategy and challenge your ability to adapt.
Discover - or help discover - Roman history
If Romanizer is first and foremost a video game, it is suitable for use in the classroom, under the supervision of a teacher, to introduce many concepts of Roman society: religion, acculturation, romanization, beliefs, poetry and poets, theater, etc.
