Caesar returns to Rome determined to convert military success into political power, forming alliances with Pompey and Crassus before taking command in Gaul. Years of campaigning carry his legions across tribal territories and into Britain, while Brutus serves beside him and questions the price of loyalty. The revolt of Vercingetorix and the siege of Alesia become the decisive tests of Caesar’s command and leave his standing army poised against his rivals in Rome.
