For this Civ6 GOTM we will be thinking about that OTHER Roman empire: This month you are playing Theodora of the Byzantine Empire on a large true starting location mediterranean map on Emperor level (how very well fitting!). You need to go for a domination victory, and prevent all other civs from achieving any type of victory. You have until November 1 to show that Constantinople cannot be conquered.

For all information please check this thread.
