In 52 BC, the Roman Republic was in its heyday; the consul Pompeii (played by Rick Warden) sat in the capital; the ally Caesar (played by Seren Hind Ciarán Hinds) fought against Gaul. During the period, the 13th Army has repeatedly made military exploits. The chief Ulinas (played by Kevin McKidd) was courageous and strategic; his subordinate Polo (played by Ray Stevenson) was addicted to alcohol, but Loyal to the liver and righteousness. When Caesar was victorious, Octavian went to the front line to give condolences at his mother's order; he didn't want to be robbed on the way, but was saved by Ulinas and Polo who passed by. The 13th legion triumphed, Ulinas met his wife who had been away for 8 years, but each had their own minds. Polo accidentally discovered the fact that Ulinas's wife Hong Xing had gone out of the wall, in order to protect the honor of the chief; Polo, with the help of Octavian, forced out the truth. Caesar was ready to take over the power, waiting for the opportunity. Pompeii saw his ambition and discussed with the people in the Senate; among them, the noble forces headed by Cicero insisted that Caesar was a traitor to the Republic and should be killed.
