  2. Roma alla conquista del mondo

    La conquista della Britannia avanza lentamente. Il centurione Macrone e il suo braccio destro Catone, ex schiavo e raffinato uomo di corte, guidano la Seconda Legione attraverso sentieri impervi, affrontando un nemico sfuggente che attacca e si ritira incessantemente. I Britanni, guerrieri temibili e abili nelle pratiche guerriere, sono guidati da stregoni esperti nelle arti oscure. La potente macchina bellica romana è ostacolata dalle ambizioni di politicanti che antepongono la carriera al successo della campagna. L'imperatore Claudio, debole e balbuziente, ritarda l'avanzata per guidare personalmente l'ultimo assalto, desideroso di gloria mentre i suoi uomini combattono nel fango. Ogni giorno di esitazione consente a Carataco, il valoroso capo nemico, di rafforzare il suo esercito, rendendolo sempre più organizzato. Quando Catone e Macrone scoprono un traditore che rifornisce i Britanni di armi, comprendono che la battaglia non può essere vinta solo con il gladio. Nel frattempo, la setta dei Liberatores trama per rovesciare Claudio e ripristinare la repubblica. Roma è un sogno fragile, e molti bramano la sua caduta. Solo la spada dei valorosi soldati può salvare l'impero.

Právě je pověří, aby se svou elitní kohortou pretoriánské gardy Rhadamista doprovodili do Arménie. Pochod na nezmapované, neznámé území, aby neoblíbenému králi vrátili jeho trůn, je nebezpečná mise.

Generál se rozhodne pro úskok. Vyšle k parthskému králi poselstvo vedené Catonem, který má dojednat mírovou smlouvu. Podmínky, jež římská strana navrhuje, jsou ovšem pro Parthy nepřijatelné a skutečným účelem mise je králi po jistou dobu zabránit, aby se svým vojskem zaútočil na generálovy oddíly.
