Gaul, 51 BCE. Alesia has shattered the largest revolt, but resistance survives among communities unwilling to accept that the war is finished. Caesar demands rapid operations against remaining strongholds so that the province can be presented as pacified before his political enemies in Rome act against him.

Fronto and his companions move through a landscape exhausted by siege, famine and reprisal. Veterans must distinguish genuine peace from submission enforced by terror, while Caesar’s attention increasingly turns south towards his future in the Republic. The final campaigns in Gaul reveal that conquest can continue long after decisive battle and that victory abroad has only postponed conflict at home.
