A street of the Aventine, a table for adventures in First Century Rome

[Chris Abbey]

I have been playing Gangs of Rome and Pulp Alley set in First Century Rome for a while now, and have been slowly building up a collection of suitable terrain.

A month or so ago I had an idea to put together a gaming table based on the multi-occupancy tenement blocks set above shops, workshops and lock ups, which seemed to be the type of accommodation shared by most of Rome's million or so residents at the time.





This thread and linked hobby blog is going to document it's development.
So far I have three shops with one story of apartments above them and some shop interiors for a retail bakery and a Thermopolium.

Today I finished the Potters shop, and put the buildings, shop fittings and miniatures on the table to take some photos.


Here's a general view of the street, four shops with single level of apartments so far.


Some citizens sharing an amphora of wine and playing some dice outside the Pottery shop.


Mother & daughter hard at work keeping Rome supplied with bread.

That looks great! Lots of interesting visual details and it seems like it will be quite playable for games.
