Rome in Praemal is called Tarsis and was sacked by barbarians about 10 years ago (page 44 of the big book). Most important residents of the Empire live in Ptolus instead of Tarsis.In real world history Londinium was fairly populated in 140 CE/AD with 45k to 60k residents (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_London" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>). So that's not out of line, considering Ptolus has 75k.Ptolus is not on an island, though. But in Monte's book, Ptolus gets the lion share of detail and the other regions only exist for PCs and NPCs to come from.How much I want to use Monte's canon, I don't know yet.As to your other questions: awesome. I'll address them.To my armchair historian, Rome was pretty domineering and controlling. I don't see Rome kowtowing to anything a province, like Britain, would want. I would see the Romans maintaining such control with magic and force (numbers and engineering). Of course, the power of Rome has many enemies. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devil.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":devil:" title="Devil    :devil:" data-shortname=":devil:" />Rome itself would be a magnificent place, of course. The focus is on fantasy Britain, for now, however.Cool. Even more insidious if a crazed cultist arranged the sacking of Rome for a perceived misdeed.</blockquote>
