In The Gates of Rome, the young Julius Caesar had begun to make his mark when Rome was consumed by a devastating power struggle and he was forced to flee the burning city and join a war galley heading for Egypt. Now we see the impetuous young man developing into a battle-hardened leader. After rapidly learning the ropes of life on board ship, Julius displays his leadership qualities as his crew gains a fearsome reputation patrolling the southern Mediterranean. But these are dangerous waters, and no sooner has he led a memorable victory at Mytilene than the ship is captured by pirates. When they are finally set free on the north African coast, he gathers around him - by astonishing strength of will - a new force of men powerful enough not only to gain vengeance on the pirates, but also to suppress a new uprising by Mithridates in Greece. He returns to Rome a hero - only for a new crisis to erupt. A band of gladiators - led by Spartacus - has sparked a massive slave rebellion. Without delay, Julius Caesar, Brutus and his other loyal followers must march north to confront the slave army that is threatening to destroy the Republic. *** Quantity Available: 1.
