Gemeinsam mit seinen Freunden Lupus und Festus macht Marcus sich auf den Weg nach Griechenland. Im Gepäck hat er einen Brief von Julius Caesar, der jedem, der Marcus' Pfad kreuzt, gebietet, ihn zu unterstützen. Zusammen erreichen die Freunde schließlich das abgelegene Landgut, auf dem Marcus aufgewachsen ist. Doch in Marcus' alter Heimat regieren Betrug und Bestechung. Der hinterhältige Geldeintreiber Decimus und seine Handlanger tun alles, um zu verhindern, dass Marcus sein Ziel erreicht. Als sich sogar der mächtigeste Mann des Landes gegen ihn wendet, scheint das Schicksal des jungen Marcus besiegelt . Seller Inventory # 90969b48-7770-4f14-a0c7-4e185c035328
