Rome

With Caesar lying dead on the senate floor, the deadly battle for control of Rome is set to begin. Brutus and his accomplices come up against the might of a vindictive Mark Antony, but with Octavian declared Caesar's rightful heir, alliances will have to be made in order to prevent all-out war.

Newly appointed Consul of Rome, Mark Antony fights to control an increasingly mutinous city. His personal life is equally precarious, as Cleopatra's arrival in the city sends Atia into a jealous rage. When his bubbling feud with Octavian finally explodes, the scene is set for a fight to the death.

With an increasingly unstable Vorenus running the Aventine quarter for Mark Antony, Pullo must fight to rein in his old friend's aggressive stance. Meanwhile, Octavian wins a powerful ally in his fight to destroy Mark Antony.

Octavian and Mark Antony's armies finally come to blows, with Mark Antony suffering heavy losses. Meanwhile, Vorenus receives vital information about the possible whereabouts of his children.

Whilst Octavian prepares for his triumphant return to Rome, Mark Antony plots his resurgence. However, with Atia torn between loyalty to both men, she comes up with a plan to deliver an uncertain truce.

With Mark Antony and Octavian uneasily allied, their old enemies Brutus and Cassius make an unexpected resurgence. Will Brutus finally triumph over his old enemies? Meanwhile, Vorenus fails to notice the dangerous treachery that his eldest daughter has been drawn into.
