Just Before Christ

Manio Sempronio Galba, son of 'The Magnificent,' is condemned to die for the crime of high treason.

In his attempt to get out of the mess he has got himself in, Manio needs to maintain the persona that drove the Legion to war the night before.

During some manoeuvres, a Roman patrol led by centurion Antonine gets lost in the forest, with Manio and Agorastocles among the party.

The General is unrecognizable, having lately been chalking up one victory after another.

Cornelio Pison, a General close to Octavio, travels to the camp to talk to Cneo Valerio.
