Roma are arguably one of the biggest teams in Serie A, even if their honours list doesn't quite match that of clubs such as Juventus, Milan and Inter.
They have had some absolute superstars wearing their iconic red jersey throughout their history, many of those players coming through the club's youth academy.
Francesco Totti is undoubtedly the most recognisable name, with Daniele De Rossi another true homegrown hero.
They have also brought in plenty of legends from elsewhere, though.
Who doesn't remember the iconic Gabriel Batistuta for example?!
And although Roma have not made a habit out of spending big, they have also not hesitated to splash the cash if they felt the opportunity was right.
But how much have they spent on transfers exactly since the turn of the millennium and which players cost them the most?
