It is the year 56 B.C. The Roman Republic is torn by civil war. The historical three-man council (the first Triumvirate between Caesar, Pompeius, and Crassus) could not be renewed at the conference at Luca, and a bitter struggle broke out between the three rivals. Now they are trying to eliminate one another, to gain supremacy over the empire. They draw supplies from their provinces, move about with their legions, and try to persuade the Senate and people of Rome to lend support to their claims. But in order to gain power, they also have to exhibit skill in politics as well as in military strategy - or preferably both! Different paths lead to the ultimate goal, the individual ascendancy. Because even when there is occasionally pragmatic cooperation to cut a particularly successful rival down to size: in the end, only one can win. May Jupiter smile on you!
