Primera Guerra P�nica. A�o 256 a.C. Despu�s de casi diez a�os de guerra, Roma y Cartago se han desangrado mutuamente sin que ninguna consiga imponerse claramente. Marco Atilio R�gulo, reci�n elegido c�nsul, es enviado por el senado a �frica, al mando de la mayor flota jam�s botada por Roma, con el fin de ir conquistando las ciudades que rodean Cartago, estrangular a la capital enemiga y poner fin al conflicto de una vez por todas. Los p�nicos, con un ej�rcito muy inferior al romano y conociendo el prestigio militar de R�gulo, se ven obligados a ponerse en manos de Jantipo, un curtido mercenario espartano al que confiar�n su futuro. Sin embargo, los desp�ticos gobernantes cartagineses, temiendo que una vez que se haga con el control del ej�rcito, lo utilice para derrocarles, le encargan a Arishat, una bella cortesana, que vigile los pasos del espartano; pero ninguno de ellos est� preparado para lo que les depara el destino. Bas�ndose en los relatos del historiador griego Polibio, Pedro Santamar�a narra con fidelidad y un ritmo demoledor la fascinante historia de la primera expedici�n romana a �frica, y el tr�gico y �pico desenlace de la batalla de Bagradas, donde se jugar� el futuro de Cartago.
