Respublica

Respublica: Bellum Civile 
Respublica was a server created by Rad and Daruskiy with an emphasis on historical accuracy and quality above the previous horde themed servers. Set in Gozo during Caesar's civil war, the first server reached up to 55 players clashing in the fields of Gozo as players chose sides between Caesar and Pompey. This server used a new texture pack and contained many builds by Dill, Prom and Vic. The central city was Valetiae 
It ultimately closed after 5 months and underwent reconstruction to become a modded server encompassing both Gozo and Malta in Respublica Mortem Senatus
Story line
With Pompey having fled to Greece and starting to muster loyalists from around the Roman world, Caesar has recognised the threat the African legions could pose if they sail to his aid. As a result he has sent a legion to take and hold the islands of Gozo and Malta in order to prevent them using the large harbour there and sailing onward to Greece. The defeated Spanish legions of Pompey have also moved to the isles in an attempt to hold them and secure safe passage for Pompey's African reinforcements.
The server began with a large 25 vs 25 PvP invasion of the town of Caudium on Gozo. The Caesarians eventually managed to battle their way through the barricaded streets and, climbing through the wheat fields up to the temple, defeated the remaining Pompeian troops in the temple overlooking the town. From there the Pompeians and Caesarians waged a brutal war over the surrounding towns, forts and villages. Culminating in a couple of sieges at both Caudium Minor, Caudium and Velia, the Pompeians were pushed back to the Malta before hearing news of Pompey's defeat at Pharsalus and surrendering.
