I&#8217;ve always been drawn to the rich colors, lavish outfits, influential and dramatic history, and the complex characters that make-up the backdrop of Ancient Rome. The Antony and Caesar pair of Decks will focus on the time periods of the First and Second Triumvirates. The First Triumvirate ended when Julius Caesar defeated Pompey the Great and became Dictator. The Second Triumvirate ended when Octavian defeated Mark Antony &amp; Cleopatra, and eventually became the first Emperor of Rome (and given the name Augustus).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maxplayingcards.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ROMEQuadCourts.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-12887 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.maxplayingcards.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ROMEQuadCourts-755x1024.jpg\" alt=\"ROMEQuadCourts\" width=\"755\" height=\"1024\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maxplayingcards.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ROMEQuadCourts-755x1024.jpg 755w, https:\/\/www.maxplayingcards.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ROMEQuadCourts-221x300.jpg 221w, https:\/\/www.maxplayingcards.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ROMEQuadCourts-768x1042.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.maxplayingcards.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ROMEQuadCourts-1132x1536.jpg 1132w, https:\/\/www.maxplayingcards.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ROMEQuadCourts-1509x2048.jpg 1509w, https:\/\/www.maxplayingcards.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ROMEQuadCourts-1105x1500.jpg 1105w, https:\/\/www.maxplayingcards.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ROMEQuadCourts-519x705.jpg 519w, https:\/\/www.maxplayingcards.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ROMEQuadCourts.jpg 1680w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 755px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 755\/1024;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The ROME Decks will also include characters such as Cicero, Cleopatra, Brutus, Servilla, Cassius, Pompey the Great, Marcus Agrippa and Livia Drusilla.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div>The pair of ROME Decks should be <strong>ready to launch on Kickstarter around late summer\/early fall<\/strong>.\u00a0Keep updated on the progress of the ROME Decks at <strong><a title=\"Midnight Cards - Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/midnightcards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Midnight Cards Facebook page<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0or by following <strong><a title=\"Midnightcards - Instagram\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/midnightcards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Midnightcards on Instagram<\/a><\/strong>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>Ave Caesar!<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Randy Butterfield\u00a0(Midnight Card Company) is an old friend of Max Playing Cards that has delighted us with many designs and his personal\u00a0style.\u00a0He is preparing his next deck, ROME, inspired by the Ancient Rome.
