Year 23 BC. Augustus is gravely ill, and his two heirs, Marcus Claudius Marcellus and Tiberius Claudius Nero, are vying for the succession. To win the favor of the plebs, Marcellus squanders his fortune on circus games and gladiator combat, while a severe drought threatens Rome's grain supply. Amidst this, a group of senators conspires to restore the Republic. As an agent for Tiberius, Marcus Vitruvius Rufianus must infiltrate Varrón Murena's gladiator school to uncover and thwart their plans. His mission takes him from the city's underworld to the amphitheater arena, where the future of the Republic is decided, as he discovers the vital role his stepsister Vitruvia and the mime actress Cintia play in the ruthless struggle for public opinion.
