Synopsis

ONE MAN born in rural obscurity
ONE DESTINY to become one of Rome's greatest emperors
VESPASIAN TRIBUNE OF ROME

26AD: 16 Year old Vespasian leaves his family farm for Rome, set on finding a patron and joining the army. What he finds is a city in turmoil and an Empire on the brink of disintegration.

With the ageing emperor Tiberius in seclusion on Capri, Rome is left in the iron grip of Sejanus, commander of the Praetorian Guard, and ruler of the Empire in all but name, Sejanus' spies are everywhere - careless words at a dinner party can be as lethal as a barbarian arrow.
