The Roman Empire Above is an illustrated chronicle of a world that never was - where the legions of Rome took to the skies. In this alternate history, the empire not only endures but also soars, reshaping civilization with technologies that were imagined centuries ahead of their time.
Presented as a richly illustrated archive, the book reimagines the Roman world with flight at its core. Vast aerial galleys rise above the Mediterranean. Citizens look upward as immense vessels drift over colonnades, aqueducts, and marble forums. Each image reveals how the empire's culture and ambition might have taken new shape when lifted into the air.
This volume unfolds as both a speculative history and a visual art book. Across a sequence of full-color paintings, it explores the possibilities of Roman architecture, warfare, and daily life transformed by mastery of the skies. The result is a playful yet serious reflection on Rome's ingenuity, discipline, and imagination - refracted through the lens of what might have been.
The Roman Empire Above belongs to the Epic Foundry Press series of alternate histories, each treating a parallel timeline as if it were real. Like a recovered artifact from another universe, it offers a gallery of images and ideas that blur the line between history and imagination. Both thought-provoking and visually spectacular, it invites readers to experience the empire as they have never seen it before.
