A PC holding Rome after deposing the existing government can establish his own government, hold elections, send reinforcements or money etc. provided he is not blockaded. Governors overseas can be replaced with new governors and new troops sent out. The existing governors can acquiesce to the decisions of the new government, or begin a civil war.
A PC holding Rome who is blockaded loses 50 prestige the first year, and 100 prestige the second, and is forced to evacuate Rome by the mob at the end of the second year.
The Romans had several military awards, beyond the title Imperator which means conqueror and entitled the Roman general to triumph (triumphator). Imperator is conferred when the PC mets the requirements for the triumph (representing the troops hailing the general in the field) and Triumphator occurs when the general actually celebrates the triumph. The prestige effects of these events are built into the triumph.
Other awards can be conferred as a result of the general’s element participating in battle and distinguishing himself.
Coronea aurea : ‘The Gold Crown’ is awarded when the general’s element participates in combat and destroys at least two stands in battle, either by direct attack or by flanking while another element attacks. A governor can only receive the award with the consent of the consul: A PC consul makes the determination without a die roll; an NPC consul can award it on a 4,5,6 after the battle in which the event occurs. An NPC governor confers it on one of his legates on a 5,6. A PC governor can confer it automatically on a PC legate in his province. A consul can only receive the award with the vote of the senate. The coronea aurea confers 10 prestige.
Coronea muralis: ‘The Wall Crown’ is awarded when the general’s element personally destroys a BUA garrison, or is the first element over a wall in a city assault. The award is conferred like the coronea aurea and confers 5 prestige. Extra prestige is NOT awarded for attacking a BUA mounted, the award is for bravery, not insanity.
Coronea civica: ‘The Civic Crown’ is awarded when a general’s element destroys or diverts an enemy element that has taken a Roman (not auxiliary or ally) element in flank or rear. The Roman element must survive the battle after this event. The coronea civica is conferred like the coronea aurea and the coronea muralis, and confers 10 prestige.
Coronea graminea: ‘The Grass Crown’ was the most prestigious of Rome’s awards. It was awarded for personal bravery and skill in battle such that a Roman army was saved from apparent defeat. To be eligible for the Grass Crown a Roman general must be recommended by his battlefield opponent, and his general’s element must have killed (by flanking or direct attack) one enemy element. As the Grass Crown was conferred by the centurions of the army, and not by a general, the award is conferred on a die roll of 5,6 after the Enemy of Rome makes the recommendation. 1 is added to the die roll for each 6 elements by which the Roman army was outnumbered. If the Roman army outnumbered the enemy, the die roll is a 6. One is added to the die roll if the Roman general recovered from a deficit in casualties – i.e. if the Roman casualties were ever double the enemy losses. One is added to the die roll if the Enemy of Rome is a ‘notorious enemy’ i.e. Jugurtha, Mithradates, a Demagogue, Public Enemy, or major invasion. The coronea graminea confers 20 prestige.
Vir Militaris: Any player with the coronea graminea or any two other awards
(including repeats) is considered a vir militaris and receives the benefits
of event 88/89 Vir militaris permanently.
