La spada dell'impero
L'imperatore Claudio è morto Roma è pronta a risorgere 54 D.C. L'imperatore Claudio è morto e Roma è in tumulto. Nerone, infatti, ha preso il potere, ma suo fratello Britannico non è disposto a tirarsi indietro e si proclama a sua volta vero erede al trono. Una sanguinosa lotta per il potere sta per cominciare. Il prefetto Catone e il centurione Macrone non desiderano altro che un'onorevole carriera nell'esercito, al fianco dei loro uomini coraggiosi. Preferiscono fronteggiare il nemico a viso aperto piuttosto che tendere trappole in qualche intrigo di palazzo. Ma la fama di Catone ha catturato l'attenzione di molti, determinati ad avere lui e i suoi invincibili uomini al proprio fianco, quando ci sarà la resa dei conti. Per sopravvivere, Catone dovrà essere astuto e assicurarsi l'appoggio dell'unico uomo di tutto l'Impero di cui si fida ciecamente: Macrone. Perché intorno a loro sta per cominciare una partita di cui ogni singolo soldato di Roma è diventato una pedina. Un gioco politico che potrebbe scatenare una guerra civile in grado di mettere Roma in ginocchio.
