Consul for Rome: SPQR Battle Module III

About this expansion

Consul for Rome: SPQR Battle Module III is a two-player expansion module for the Great Battles of History series game SPQR, with an approximate playing time of 240 minutes. Released in 1992, it focuses on two major engagements from the Second Punic War.

This module re-fights the Battle of the Trebbia, fought in 218 BC and described as the first major battle of the conflict. It also covers the Battle of Metaurus, fought in 207 BC and regarded by several writers as one of the most important battles in world history.

Rather than presenting a broad overview of the entire war, Consul for Rome: SPQR Battle Module III concentrates on these two historically significant confrontations. Its content is built around the battles themselves, providing an additional SPQR module for players interested in the Second Punic War.
