Overview:
Year 92 B.C., the Roman Republic. You are Rubria - a woman who has just been wed to an older man in order to pay for your family's living expenses. Rubria was expecting a much richer and influential man - only to find that her new husband is sleazy, and incompetant - leading to a bad social and economical situation. Moving in to your new home, you only find comfort in the new faces you meet, and the odd jobs you do. It is up to you to improve your social and economic standing to rise up in the steps to Rome.
