The audio play series "Der römische Traum - Eine 'Anno'-Story" is set to captivate listeners with its historical fiction narrative, delving into the world of the Roman Empire. This series, which is part of the marketing strategy for the upcoming game "Anno 177: Pax Romana," is not just aimed at fans of the "Anno" series or gamers, but seeks to appeal to a broad audience.

The story follows Simeon, a character who sells himself into slavery in the hope of a better life. Simeon's incredible journey unfolds across the Roman Empire, beginning at the port of Rome. The SWR Symphony Orchestra has recorded the soundtrack for the series, composed by the "Anno" series composers.

The "Anno" series, which began in 1998 with "Anno 1602," is renowned for combining city building, economic simulation, and historical scenarios. The upcoming "Anno 177" is set in the 2nd century, making it the series' entry into ancient times.

The audio play series is a prequel to "Anno 177: Pax Romana," developed by Ubisoft Blue Byte in Mainz. The release date for the game is mid-November.

"Der römische Traum - Eine 'Anno'-Story" is marketed as showcasing the immersive and exciting worlds that video games can create. It is set to be launched at Gamescom in Cologne from August 20-24.

While the exact plot details are not provided in the available search results, the series is expected to demonstrate that even two seemingly insignificant people can change an empire. The audio play series will be available for free in the ARD Audio Library starting August 20. However, a direct listing or link to the audio play in the ARD Audiothek or Audio Library could not be found in the current search results. For more precise plot and availability details, checking the ARD Audiothek directly or the producer’s official channels may help.
