In AD 69 the fall of Nero leaves Rome exposed to rival military claimants. Cornelia expects her husband to rise within the new order, while her sister Marcella believes she can observe history without becoming responsible for its direction.
Successive coups destroy those assumptions as Galba, Otho, Vitellius and Vespasian compete for the throne. Cornelia must survive the collapse of her household, while Marcella discovers that information and private influence can help determine who rules.
