Idle Ages / Ages / Roman Republic
Roman Republic is age 26 on the Idle Ages ladder, set in 264 BCE. You unlock it with coins the ages below it earned. From there it produces on its own cycle, with its own upgrade costs and its own four heroes.

| Heroes | Julius Caesar, Cornelia, Cicero, Fulvia |
Julius Caesar raises every age you own at once. The other three raise this one. All four carry a piece of written history that unlocks as you level them.
Legendary
Julius Caesar conquered Gaul, crossed the Rubicon with a single legion, and made himself master of Rome. He reformed the calendar we still roughly use, was assassinated by senators on the Ides of March, and his name became the word for emperor: Caesar, Kaiser, Tsar.
Raises output in every age you own, and most of all in their own. Every level doubles what they add.
Epic
Cornelia, daughter of Scipio Africanus, turned down a king’s marriage proposal to raise her sons as reformers of Rome. When rich matrons showed off their jewelry, she presented her children: "These are my jewels." Rome honored her with a statue - the first for a mortal woman.
Raises the output and production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Epic
Cicero rose from small-town obscurity to consul of Rome on pure eloquence, exposing the Catiline conspiracy with speeches still studied today. More of his writing survives than of any other ancient author - when the Renaissance rediscovered him, Europe relearned how to argue.
Raises the output and production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Rare Manager, level 5
Fulvia married three of Rome’s most dangerous politicians and outplayed most of the Senate herself. She raised armies, ran Italy while Mark Antony was in Egypt, and became the first living Roman woman with her face on a coin - a privilege previously reserved for gods and generals.
Raises the production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add. Levelling Fulvia to 5 is what automates Roman Republic.
