A new quiz game designed to test players' knowledge of Ancient Rome has been launched in Italy in time for the Christmas market. Aimed at players aged upwards of 14, the boxed card game is titled S.P.Q.R., short for Senatus Populusque Romanus which means the Senate and the People of Rome.

L'Airone Editore said its game aims to "educate, entertain and make a multi-generational audience better acquainted with the curiosities, contexts, places, facts, customs and traditions of the civilisation that built one of the strongest and most famous empires in the history of time."
