[i][[Kantai Collection]][/i]'s personification of the Italian battleship [i]Roma[/i]. 
Character design by [[Jiji (Aardvark)]], voiced by [[Kuno Misaki]].

h4. Appearance
Roma has medium-length [[wavy hair|wavy]] dark [[brown hair]] with [[blunt bangs]]. She has [[brown eyes]] with [[pince-nez]] [[glasses]] that have a chain on them. In terms of clothing, what she wears is virtually identical to Littorio, except that she wears a [[capelet]] over her shoulders, and an kerchief instead of a necktie. Things in common include a [[sleeveless shirt]] with additional [[detached sleeves]], red [[skirt]] with a white under-skirt, and armored waist area with [[anchor]]s hanging down. She has white [[thighhighs]] with red striping that are held up with [[garter straps]]. She wears a white bicorn-like [[headdress]].

Her [[rigging]] includes a split-hull design with three large triple-[[cannon]] [[turret]]s that have orange [[inflatable raft|liferafts]] lying on them. The decks of the hull are covered in a white-and-red striped pattern which, unlike Littorio, doesn't change with the kai.

For Halloween 2015, she wears a witch costume, with a [[frilled dress]], [[witch hat]] and one of her turrets inside a [[pumpkin]].

For a promotion with [[Nakau]], she was drawn in casual clothes, with a [[white sweater]], a [[black skirt]], [[pantyhose]] and a fashionable pair of [[boots]] while keeping her usual headdress and pince-nez. She is holding a serving of Nakau's [[oyakodon (food)|oyakodon]] and beside her, a trolley bag with one of her turrets attached to it, liferafts and all. When damaged, the bag lies on the ground with a smoking hole punched through it, revealing [[libeccio (kancolle)|Libeccio]]'s fire-director hat inside.

Upon heavy damage, Roma notably has an entire turret destroyed, with fires visible within the hole of the turret. This is likely a reference to the historical sinking of the [i]Roma[/i], which involved the detonation of the magazine of her no. 2 turret. The force of the resulting explosion blew the turret off its mounting clear of the ship.

h4. History
Historically, Roma was sunk by the [[Luftwaffe]] as she, her sister-ships and other units in the Italian fleet attempted to sail to Malta to surrender to the British. Because of her real-life counterpart's fate, she is often portrayed as having a grudge toward German ship girls.

Notorious for her very low drop rate in the spring 2015 event where she was a drop instead of a ensured clear reward like her sister ship Littorio, only dropping in 2 nodes in the E-6 map at very low rates 1.5% for one and 5% on the E-6 boss node.
