In AD 323, a fleet of Roman ships is lost in a storm, and they find themselves on the shores of the New World--one thousand years before Columbus. Unable to return home, they establish a new colony, Roma Occidens, radically altering the timeline of America and subsequent world events as seen through the eyes of one family.

An exploration in alternative history from Brian Wood, Justin Giampaoli, and Andrea Mutti.

''It's an old story, but given Brian Wood's ability to transform history as demonstrated in works such as Rebels and Northlanders, Rome West is bound to bring something entirely new to the trope, and the additions of Giampaoli, Mutti, and Popov to his team seem to guarantee this.''--Comics Bulletin
