Dictator

Cicero returns from exile to a republic increasingly governed by military power. He attempts to preserve influence as Pompey and Caesar move towards civil war, then must survive Caesar’s victory, dictatorship and assassination while judging when compromise becomes complicity.

After the Ides of March, Cicero sees one final chance to restore senatorial government. His campaign against Mark Antony brings him into alliance with the young Octavian, but Tiro understands that the struggle may replace one autocrat with another.
