The Roman Empire Above

The Roman Empire Above is a premium illustrated hardcover book from Epic Foundry Press that imagines an alternate history where the Roman Empire took to the skies. This richly visualized world explores how flight reshaped ancient power, technology, and daily life across the empire.

The concept of an ancient empire transformed by airship technology was shaped through a new kind of AI-assisted creative process — fast, focused, and highly iterative. Every scene, caption, and layout was developed through a continuous exchange between tools and intent.

Epic Foundry Press directed the work at every stage, making all final narrative, visual, and editorial decisions. The result is a proof of concept for how modern creative workflows can integrate AI in meaningful, collaborative ways.
