The Roman Empire Above

A world where flight came early — and Rome never fell.

The Roman Empire Above is a fully illustrated visual narrative set in a world where ancient Rome mastered the skies. Presented as an 87-page hardcover (8.5 × 11", full color), it explores an alternate empire powered by airships, where flight reshaped military strategy, commerce, and civic life.

Through paired-image short stories and sweeping visual interludes, the book captures moments of work, travel, trade, and invention within a fully imagined skyfaring civilization, conveyed through architecture, rhythm, and richly detailed environments.
