Rome

Rome is the capital city of Italy. It is also the location of the Vatican, and thus the center of the Catholic Church.

Rome in Ruled Britannia
The ancient Roman Empire once ruled Britain, and it was against the Romans that Boudicca led the revolt which William Shakespeare later immortalized in his play Boudicca. Jack Hungerford, the tireman for the Globe Theater, wryly observed that the paralles between Boudicca and Queen Elizabeth were strengthened by the fact that under the rule of Queen Isabella and King Albert, England was once again ruled from Rome (referring to the Hapsburgs' Catholic theocracy.)

Rome in World War
Rome was destroyed by a German atomic bomb in 1944. Pope Pius XII was killed in the explosion. At the time of its destruction, the city was occupied by the Race's Conquest Fleet.
