The AGEOD Shop now offers online sales of Alea Jacta Est, the Roman Empire strategy game with a title that translates as "The Die is Cast." The game is also coming soon to Matrix Games and it is the subject of a Steam Greenlight campaign. Here's the description:

Now you can replay five episodes from Rome's tumultuous history of Civil Wars. "Alea Jacta Est" is now available for all armchair commanders who believe that they know how Pompey could have saved the Republic or how the provincial upstart Vespasian could have been kept from the imperial purple.

Alea Jacta Est is the latest historical wargame from French wargame developer AGEOD, the makers of the critically acclaimed "Birth of America" and popular "American Civil War". Review codes are available for any interested critic who wants to try their hand at a classic turn-based game with five challenging scenarios ranging from the decline of Rome's republic to the squabbling of generals in the early Empire.
