Does anyone know of a board game that deals with the many campaigns between Sassanid Persia vs Rome. Considering how many campaigns on the Asian Minor over several centuries there must be something out there. I have Imperium Romanun but I'd like to find something specific to the two combatants. |

Thanks guys. Most of the suggestions are tactical. Anything strategic out there (ie. campaigns.) Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire looks interesting. Unfortunately I can't find a copy for sale and it is out print. I emailed the publisher to see where things stand. |

Also, Aurelian from Sam Mustafa is a great game. |

Some of the great campaigns of ancient history were between Rome, Romano-Byzantine versus Sassanid Persia. A lot of back and forth. It is interesting how few games were made to cover the strategic elements of this period of history. |
