Build And Manage An Authentic Roman City In Pax Augusta, Out Today

Take on the role of a city governor as you build flourishing cities, look after your citizens, earn gold, deal with disasters and earn the trust of the emperor

Frankfurt, Germany - April 17th, 2025 - Publisher Senatis and developer Roger Gassmann are pleased to announce that their Roman city-builder, Pax Augusta, will be available on PC today. Take on the role of an ambitious governor as you build impressive city districts, ensure the well-being of your citizens, engage in flourishing trade and erect magnificent monuments that will last for centuries. The road to the top is full of challenges - fire, corruption, unrest and the whims of the emperor will put your leadership skills to the test time and again.

Pax Augusta features historically accurate architecture, with numerous buildings based on real-life models that have been recreated with meticulous accuracy. That carries over into a gripping campaign based on the historical writings of the Roman historian Tacitus. Pax Augusta also offers a sandbox mode where you can create your perfect Roman city without restrictions.

Build residential areas, market squares, temples, forums, thermal baths and much more, with each building fulfilling an important purpose for city life. As your city grows from a small outpost to a vibrant metropolis, you will have to import and export goods, pay close attention to the needs of your citizens and deal with the changing whims of benevolent, profligate or capricious emperors who have a great influencer on your office as governor.

“I’m a big fan of games like the Caesar series, so much so that I wanted more and ended up deciding to just make one myself,” said developer Roger Gassmann on the genesis of Pax Augusta. “I’m so excited to finally release Pax Augusta after years working on the game by myself, with support from an awesome community, including the historians and architects whose feedback has been invaluable in making Pax Augusta as authentic as possible!”
