AE Games has confirmed Julius Caesar as the next roster addition for Mad Men Football. He’ll be joining George Washington, who was announced as the first inclusion last month.

AE Games published the following overview of Julius Caesar last week:

If you’re sick of betrayal, tune in to this teaser.
He hopes not to fail, hail (Mary pass from) Julius Caesar!
We hope the Ides of March, found you well!

Julius Caesar will now be leading his legions to “battle” not on typical battlefields, but instead on football fields! Julius Caesar will be throwing a football down the field to break his “enemies'” defenses, instead of throwing a javelin (or, pilum as some history fans may refer to it)! What historical figure will join the Mad Men Football roster next? Only time will tell…
