Part 2: Rebellion / Ancestry (1x2)


Udgivelsesdato: Jun 06, 2016

Rome, which already dominates the Mediterranean with an iron hand, sets out to conquer new lands and takes the barbarians who inhabit them as slaves. But, the more it grows, the more enemies it gains within its borders: a vast barbarian army waits, in a dormant state, for its leader to emerge. Spartacus, a barbarian slave forced to fight as a gladiator, becomes the tenacious commander of an uprising that poses the greatest threat to Rome in a century. The Republic becomes an empire and continues its policy of romanization aimed at civilizing the barbarians. However, not even the first emperor, Caesar Augustus, is aware of the rebellion that is hatching within his own ranks. Arminius, the son of a German barbarian chief, is sent as a hostage to Rome as a boy and later becomes one of the highest ranking barbarian officers in the Imperial Army. But, when he is sent to his homeland to put down an uprising, he has to make the decision of who to be loyal to. The Battle of the Teutoburg Forest places the Empire on the brink of the precipice
