And while Caesar and Brutus pit their lives–and those of their men–against the armies of the wilderness, their political adversaries in Rome grow at once more fearful and more formidable. Here, in a series of cataclysmic clashes, the legend of Julius Caesar will be forged. And with an army made in his own image, he begins a daring charge through Gaul, across the English Channel, and to the wilds of tribal Britain. He leaves Rome for the foothills of the Alps. Crushing a rebellion, bringing order to the teeming city, Caesar then makes the move that will change history. And when he is appointed to a new position of power, Caesar manages to do what none of the other great figures of his time could: capture the hearts of the Roman people themselves. Having proved his valor in the slaves’ revolt, Caesar is strengthened by the love and vision of a beautiful older woman, and by the sword of his loyal friend, Marcus Brutus. For Julius Caesar, the time has come to enter the treacherous political battleground that has become Rome. It is the heart of the first century B.C.

Against this magnificent backdrop, Caesar, his first victories under his belt and a series of key alliances in place, makes his move toward power and glory–and commands his famous legions on one of history’s bloodiest and most daring military campaigns.
