Gaul, Germany, Britain and Rome, 55 BCE. Caesar responds to Germanic movement across the Rhine with a campaign designed as much to display Roman reach as to secure the frontier, then turns his attention to the tribes of Britain who have aided Gallic resistance. The Tenth must cross rivers and seas at the edge of its experience.

Fronto’s growing responsibilities at home are threatened by the violent politics of Publius Clodius Pulcher and by suspicious deaths among Rome’s elite. Unreliable officers and troublesome centurions complicate command abroad, while the risks to Lucilia make detachment impossible. The year exposes the connection between Caesar’s spectacular expeditions and the factional struggle consuming the capital.
