520 In Rome in the year 238 AD, Emperor Maximinus's reign
hangs in the balance. The empire is bleeding manpower and
money in an attempt to sustain its wars in the north, and
rebellions flare in the far reaches of its territories.
Meanwhile in Africa, Gordian the Elder and Younger are
proclaimed as the new Augusti. A family descending from
the Imperial bloodline, they represent a chance for the
establishment to take back the empire. The first blood of
the revolt is shed in Rome when an assassin murders the
emperor's prefect, announcing to Rome that the Gordians
have taken the throne; still bitter at Maximinus's rise
from the barracks to power, the Senate endorses the
rebellion, and chaos descends on the capitol. But in his
heart, Maximinus is a man of war: when he hears of the
betrayal, he acts with decisive brutality and violence. On
the dusty plains outside Carthage, blood and steel will
determine the fate of the Roman Empire
