Justinian orders Belisarius to invade Italy and restore it to imperial rule. Naples resists and suffers a bloody assault, while Rome opens its gates only to face a major Gothic siege soon after the Byzantine army enters.

Belisarius must defend the city with limited men while supply, disease and political rivalry weaken his position. Victory over the Goths will not protect him from a court that sees a successful general as a potential rival to the emperor.
