Total War: Rome 2 wasn’t received too well when it came out in 2013, thanks to a massive amount of bugs and gameplay issues. Not sure if that speaks in Hannibal’s favour or not. Apparently, no artificial intelligence would ever be crazy enough to march its elephants over the Alps. In this article, we’ll focus on Rome’s consolidation of Italy and the Punic Wars, which we’ll end up finishing a lot sooner than the actual Romans did thanks to a few shortcomings in the game’s artificial intelligence. Recorded between 20 by Mike Duncan, it’s an authoritative source for anybody looking for a sweeping history of the Roman Empire and we’ll be putting in references to specific episodes for anybody looking to check our facts. However, our main inspiration will be the fantastic podcast series The History of Rome.
Instead of a beginner’s guide or a powergaming strategy, we’ll have some hefty tomes at our disposal. We’ll be doing so by playing the game as faithfully to history as we can. In this article, we’ll be strapping on our gladius and putting Total War: Rome 2 through our historiographical wringer. In this series, we’ll be taking a look at some of the bigger games around and seeing if they’re really as true to history as they claim to be. Of course, plenty of games marketed as historically accurate aren’t, especially to history enthusiasts. The Etruscan civilization occupied the central region of Italy from 700 BC, and flourished until the end of the second century BC, when it was subsumed into Roman culture.Here at the History Guild we like video games, especially ones with a historical setting. "We want for the site to receive the recognition it deserves," Croci said.Ĭerveteri is believed to have been one of the city-states of the Etruscan League, with a population of around 25,000 - 40,000 people, at its height around 600 BC. He said with the new upgrade he hopes to double the number of annual visitors to the site, which today stands at 65,000. "Few people know this, but this is the largest archaeological site in the world, even bigger than the Valley of the Kings in Egypt," Lorenzo Croci, Cerveteri's sustainable-development councilor, told Italy’s news agency ANSA.
One of its most famous tombs, which will reopen this July, is the Tomb of the Painted Lions, a 7th-century BC tomb once frescoed with lions. The Necropoli della Banditaccia covers an area of 400 hectares (990 acres), encompassing a total of 1,000 tombs, often housed in characteristic mounds.
The Etruscan necropolis of Banditaccia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Cerveteri, near Rome, is set to showcase some previously closed tombs and a new welcome center on July 4, following an upgrade and renovations co-funded by the European Union and Italy.
