The Great Roman war was the Third "World War" the server had seen. To date it remains the most largest war in PMC history. It saw the downfall of many great nations and the rise of many others. Because of Anchor Articles the war was very well documented and its effects can still be seen today in ROME, ESE, and SPQR.

Background (civil war in rome)

Cosmickingjoel (KosmicKingKaiser, Cosmickingsp00k, Cosmickingtaco etc.) had long been a thorn in the side of SPQR's leadership. He was the head of recruitment and owned a fairly large city. On the discord Cosmic's friends would repeatedly mock and harass Buckmaster1993 (the leader of SPQR) and buck would routinely kick them from the discord, only for them to be brought back by Cosmic. Engraged Buck kicked Cosmic from the discord and demoted him in the Crew. In response, Cosmic left SPQR and with his friends formed The Imperial Republic of Rome on May 27th 2019. After raids on SPQR territory (mainly Itz_Wyatt). They changed their Crew name to the Imperial Roman Empire, adopted a banner, and unanimously chose Cosmic as their Imperator.

Early stages of the war (from civil war to world war and the Verussian front)

World War

TRT and their capital city of Belfast had long been pushed around by their Neighbors in the now capital of ROME Verace. Having a common enemy they formed a alliance with SPQR. This started a chain of ally choosing that would go like this: seeking glory VER joins SPQR's side, having good friends in CLTN and RoV Cosmic gets them to join his side, likewise mystic (leader of EE) due to his good relations with RoV joins the war on ROME's side, BE being friends with buck holds a parliamentary vote on the matter and joins the war on the side of SPQR.

Battle of Pathere

A few days into the conflict VER and SPQR lead a force of about 5-7 men to Raid the roman city of Pathere. They faced several Roman soldiers including Cosmic himself. At first the attack seemed to be going well and Cosmic was killed, but then CLTN members came to ROME's aid and drove the republican romans and Verussians out. This was the largest battle of the war, with 13 people participating, and 3rd in terms of casualties.

First Sack of Charbeyliene

Seeking vengeance ROME followed the retreating Verussians down the road to Charbeyliene. The exhausted and unprepared Verussians where caught off guard and the city was raided with many Verussians being killed.

The Verussian front

For the next week the roads in Verussia were the sight of many skirmishes and people being killed. Including the King of the Verussians ToxicKingRS. This period was brutal with at one point 6 people being killed by a cannon at the same time.
