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!
