What’s the story of ‘The Roman’?

Created by ‘Billions’ duo Brian Koppelman and David Levien (who also have a little Sin City scripting cred thanks to their work on ‘Ocean’s Thirteen’), ‘The Roman’ is an hourlong drama set in the high-stakes, sharp-elbowed present-day Las Vegas casino business, which is a modernized but still dangerous version of the legendary city.

At the center stands Robert “Bobby Red” Redman (Isaac), president of the hottest hotel casino in town, who has to make some long-odds moves to try and secure his position and take more ground.
