È l'età delle grandi città-stato e tra tutte si erge nel suo splendore Atene, la più imponente città del mondo antico. Dietro il suo incredibile successo, che la rende di fatto la guida dell'intera Grecia, c'è un solo uomo: Pericle.

Into this fevered forum, a child is born. His mother is Agrippina, granddaughter of Emperor Augustus. But their imperial blood is no protection. The closer you are to the heart of the empire, the closer you are to power, intrigue, and danger. She faces soldiers, senators, rivals, silver-tongued pretenders, each vying for position. One mistake risks exile, incarceration, execution. Or, worst of all, the loss of her infant son.

Währenddessen erobert Subotai im Westen weitere Gebiete und dringt ungehindert in unbekanntes Gebiet vor.

Um Vergeltung zu üben, marschiert Dschingis Kahn mit tausenden Kriegern in die Wüste Arabiens ein.
