Titoli in Antica

К концу лета 44 г. н. э. долгое противостояние с непокорными местными племенами в Британии истощило не только силы воинов командующего Плавта, но и терпение Императора, требующего скорейшей победы. Задача центурионов Макрона и Катона в составе Второго легиона — удержать брод через реку Тамезис. Но из-за ошибки командования герои оказываются в роли беглецов, преследуемых собственными товарищами, и теперь у них есть лишь один слабый шанс искупить вину.

Her fortæller Valeria sin historie til datteren – en farverig og sansemættet skildring af det gamle Rom, af kærlighed i lyst og nød og i dens mest fantasifulde former.

Consecrated at birth as a royal goddess, Cleopatra learns early on from her father's experience that to rule means to fight. Politically astute, her deep love for Egypt means she'll do everything in her power to retain its autonomy from the all-devouring Romans. Julius Caesar is a legendary warrior whose might helped secure the Egyptian throne for Cleopatra's father. Years later, when he encounters the now Queen of Egypt, it is more than a meeting of rulers - it is a meeting of souls.

Die Athener sind hoffnungslos in der Unterzahl, und die Götter schweigen zu ihren Bitten. Xanthippus, der oberste Feldherr der Griechen, lässt seine Männer bei Marathon einen Schildwall errichten, der die Perser um jeden Preis aufhalten soll. Denn eine Niederlage würde Sklaverei bedeuten.

It falls to his son Marcellus to carry out his father's legacy and restore the rights promised to the defeated Sicilian slaves, yet there are those who will not see the honour of Rome compromised and the slaves assuaged. On the Roman border provinces there is trouble, and the legions move north to neutralise the threat posed by the Celts.

Rome has lost its greatest warrior; Aulus Cornelius is dead. Although he is hailed as a hero, the betrayal by cowardly governor Flaminus is not forgotten.

While Titus swears vengeance against Flaminus, and to become as great a general as his father, Quintus chooses to pursue politics - under the guidance of Lucius Falerius, now the most powerful senator in Rome.
