Unlock: Starting rank, free for every player.
The Rank Ladder
Climb the full 100-rank cursus honorum (Rank I to Rank C), with public-mine content live through Mine XXV and more released every content patch. Beyond Rank C lie the prestige eras, a march through Roman history from the Early Republic onward. Every rung is earned through grind alone; money never advances your standing.
The rank ladder
The ladder runs from Rank I to Rank C — all 100 ranks are climbable today. Each rank costs Denarius (a published polynomial formula) and raises your global sell multiplier; the higher you climb, the faster you earn. Mines unlock rank-by-rank through Mine XXV (Rank 25) today; XXVI+ open in later content patches.

The first ten rungs, by the numbers
The numerical backbone of progression: the opening ranks (I–X), each unlock cost in Denarius, and the sell multiplier it grants. The ladder itself runs on to Rank C — all 100 ranks climbable today.

Eight prestige eras
Reach Rank C (100), then Ascend to climb again — through 8 prestige eras. Each prestige advances the world into a new historical era of Rome, and your earned cosmetics, pets, and era badges persist across every cycle as a permanent record of every empire you built.
The road beyond Rank C
The prestige ladder is a march through Roman history. Each of the 8 prestiges drops you into a new era, beginning with Early Republic (509 BC) and culminating in Byzantine Ascendancy (600 AD).
Prestige raises the stakes: richer mines, sharper enemies, and grander rewards. Your earned cosmetics, pets, and era badges persist across every cycle, a trophy case that grows with every empire you build and abandon.
The founding of Rome. Kings are overthrown, the Republic is born, and citizens first taste liberty.
Rome expands through Italy, the Punic Wars rage, and the legions march on Carthage.
Caesar crosses the Rubicon. The Republic fractures as ambition outpaces tradition.
Augustus is crowned. The Empire begins — an age of stability, roads, and monuments.
The golden age. Trade flourishes, the Colosseum rises, and Rome rules the known world.
Constantine converts, the capital shifts East, and the Empire splits in two.
Barbarians at the gates. The Western Empire crumbles, but the East endures.
From the ashes, Constantinople rises. The Roman legacy continues in the East.
Four currencies, four roles
Each Imperial currency has a distinct purpose, no bloat, just depth. Learn which to earn, which to hoard, and which to spend.
Denarius
Standard currency of daily trade across the empire.
Auctoritas
Influence and authority. Spend it on cosmetics and unlocks.
Civitas
Civic contribution. Funds your legion and weekly payouts.
Aureus
Prestige gold coin. Used to buy crate keys and rare items.
Note: Mines beyond XXV and further prestige-era rewards arrive in future content updates. Nothing in the store affects rank or prestige progression speed, every rank on this page is earned through grind alone.
