{{sub-stub}}'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is the first expansion pack to ''[[Rome: Total War]]'', and was originally released in 2005 for Windows PCs.

''Barbarian Invasion'' was the first ''Total War'' release to be published exclusively by [[Sega]], following its purchase of [[The Creative Assembly]] in 2005. Older ''Total War'' games, including the non-expanded ''Rome: Total War'' were originally overseen and published by [[Activision]], before Sega took over publishing duties.

A version for the iPad, developed by [[Feral Interactive]], was released in 2017.

==Gameplay==
''Barbarian Invasion'' takes place during the decline of the Roman Empire in 4th and 5th century AD.
