Rome; its reputation precedes itself as perhaps the most well-known ancient civilization. From its rich culture to its political system, its presence can be felt in our modern day — and thanks to its legacy as a powerful imperial force, it’s also dominated the world of historical fiction and even served as the inspiration for many a fantasy series. But what about Rome … in space? It may sound ridiculous, if you’re picturing toga-clad legionaries floating around in zero gravity.
