In 537, the Roman Empire is on the march. After victory in North Africa, Emperor Justinian dreams of restoring the Western Empire. Coel ap Amhar, King Arthur's grandson, has defeated the empress's champion in the arena. To escape her vengeance, he joins the army bound for Italy. Justinian dispatches his best general, Belisarius, with a great army to drive the Goths from Italy and recover Rome. The campaign is initially successful. But an advance can quickly turn into a rout. Rome is besieged by Vitiges, the dreaded King of the Goths, who wishes to expel the Romans once and for all and conquer their ancient homeland for himself.
