Roma

In Roma, the storied French publisher Daedalus presents a sweeping historical epic that traces the rise and fall of the Roman Republic through the eyes of its legendary figures and everyday citizens. Running five issues since 2017, the series is masterfully guided by writers Pierre Boisserie, Didier Convard, and Éric Adam, with evocative artwork from Régis Penet, Gine, and Luca Erbetta. This collaboration brings a richly textured, continental European perspective to ancient history, blending political intrigue, personal drama, and meticulous period detail. It matters as a modern, creator-driven saga that reimagines classical antiquity with the depth and gravitas of a prestige graphic novel.
