Description

Gaul. 54 BC. Julius Caesar sweeps across Gaul, brutally subduing the united tribes who defy the Republic. But at home, his enemies are orchestrating his downfall and disgrace. Vindictive schemers like Cato and Bibulus, the spineless Cicero, the avaricious Brutus. Even Pompey the Great, Caesar's former ally.

But all have underestimated Caesar. And when the Senate refuses to give him his due, he marches upon his own country, with an army prepared to die for him at his back. For Rome is his destiny — a destiny that will impel him triumphantly onto the banks of the Rubicon, and beyond, into legend, as the noblest Roman of them all.
