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.
