Vespasian is pulled back from provincial service by the politics and shortages affecting Rome in the final years of Tiberius. The accession of Caligula first seems to promise renewal, but the new emperor’s rule quickly becomes dominated by spectacle, fear and personal delusion. Vespasian is sent to Alexandria to steal Alexander the Great’s breastplate, a mission that links imperial vanity, sacred prestige and theft at the edge of Roman Egypt.
