    Here's the basic idea, this should appeal to you history people like me out there:

    You are in the pony equivalent to Rome, in this universe, Rome(Roam, can't decide) essentially is Equestria's predecessor, only they controlled much more land. From the Mild West to the modern day Griffin Mountains it's legions marched, but that is after this rp. This RP is based in the moment of massive change in Rome(Roam), its new armies, as reformed by Manecus Julion, are now a formidable force, and itching to expand the nation that has since been contained within the modern-day Equestrian Peninsula, how will you shape Rome's(Roam's) history? The Senate has also grown in corruption and increasingly unpopular amongst the plebs, if carefully manipulated, the rewards would be great...

    What do you think?

    Want.

    The concept is interesting, but I haven't quite been able to figure out a way to make a "Roman Pony" RP interesting enough to be worth the time.

    How exactly will this work? Just a standard RP?

    More or less. But judging by the fact no one else but you has displayed interest in this, it should probably be a one-on-one

    Hrrrrm...

    Well, where exactly we start out should be specified. Are we in one of the legions? Are we leading one of the legions? Are we senators? Are we just normal ponies? Tribunes? Equestrians (Lol)?

    You forgot Patricians!
    Anyways, we could do like a Triumvante thing…No…hmm, a Julius Caesar/Marcus Antonius thing?

    Hmmm...Marcus Antonius...Wasn't he...that dude who...no, that wasn't him...wait, yes it was! But it would be hard to RP as enemies...and even if we didn't, how would we RP? I just can't visualize it being exciting.

    I don't know how to make this work; if I did, then trust me, I would have made something like this a long time ago. xD

    Not that I lack interest, but unless you have an idea that I haven't had, IDK how we'll make this work...
