With Roman civilisation dating back to the 8th century BC the Romans expanded into one of the largest empires in the ancient world and evolved from a monarchy, to a classical republic to an autocratic empire over the many centuries of it's existence

The Romans achieved incredible architectural and engineering feats with the construction of extensive road and aqua-duct networks as well as large palaces, monuments and public facilities. They also contributed to modern law, politics, government, art, literature, warfare, technology, society, language and religion.

The craftsmen of UK-based Berkeley Chess have expertly recreated the stately atmosphere of Rome with this classical chess set and we here at Regency Chess have matched it with a stunning black anegre and Palisander high gloss board from Spain. Chess piece details:

King: Julius Caesar
Queen: Lady of noble birth in typical dress
