About Pax Augusta

Pax Augusta is a historical city-building simulation set in the Roman Empire, created single-handedly by Swiss developer Roger Gassmann over seven years and published by Senatis in April 2025. As an ambitious governor in the age of Emperor Augustus, you found new cities along the empire’s freshly conquered borders.

You start with a small settlement on a new imperial road, attract settlers with a harbour and a forum, mine raw materials and build baths, theatres, temples and gladiator schools to keep citizens employed and entertained. Fire, corruption, unrest and the emperor’s whims test your leadership, while trade agreements, a growing private fortune and new public offices unlock monuments and fresh building sites. Many buildings are recreated after real Roman sites whose ruins can still be seen today.

Key Features

  • Historically accurate architecture – buildings modelled on real Roman originals.
  • Organic city growth – from frontier outpost to thriving metropolis.
  • Trade and production – sign agreements to keep food and materials flowing.
  • Political career – gain reputation, win offices and found new settlements.
  • Challenges – fire, corruption, unrest and imperial demands.
