The Falcone Crime Family, also known as "The Roman" Empire after their former leader, Carmine "The Roman" Falcone, was the major crime family of Gotham City in Batman's early career. Following the rampages of Holiday and the Hangman, their number and power dwindled.
History
The crime family was also connected to the Viti family in Chicago, the Gazzo family in Metropolis, and the Gotham-based Maronis, Sullivan Family and the Skeevers brothers, Jefferson and Eddie.
