AD 54.The soldiers of the Roman army patrol a vast empire,enforcing imperial rule with brutal efficiency.Revolt will not be tolerated.
In Hispania,simmering tensions have reaches boiling point.The province is in turmoil; bands of rebels range over the land,crack unit of the army's finest, supported by the feared Praetorian Guard,is dispatched to restore the peace.Their commander is Vitellius,a veteran with vast military experience - and unmatched ambition.
Back in Rome after a catastrophic campaign in Britannia,Prefect Cato and Centurion Macro are commanded to join the march to Hispania.Their mission is fraught with danger: on the one hand,feuding Spanish tribes,challenging terrain and an embittered local poplace.On the other: intrigue and treachery on the part of those seeking to undermine the ageing Emperor Claudius.Only through strategic brilliance, unparalleled courage and the smile of good fortune can Macro and Cato hope to triumph - or even survive . . .
