After sixteen years of war, Hannibal returns to Africa for a final confrontation with Rome. Felix and his brother Antonius stand in Scipio’s legions on the plain of Zama, where victory will end the Second Punic War and leave Rome free to pursue new enemies.

The ambitious senator Titus Quinctius Flamininus turns his attention to Macedon and seeks command of the coming invasion. King Philip V is determined to restore his kingdom’s power and rebuild the army that will resist Rome. In northern Greece, the impoverished oarsman Demetrios dreams of joining the Macedonian phalanx, and a chance encounter gives him the opportunity to become a soldier as both states prepare for war.
