Rome had a new Emperor, Augustus. He began his rule with an iron fist. Many client kings and rulers throughout the Roman Empire were plotting to retake their lands from Roman rule. And looked for any sign of weakness. The legions of Rome fought to quell several uprisings on the outer edges of the Roman Empire. Rome needed a warrior, a true leader of men, and the Roman Gods answered. In the death of night, a thunderstorm raged. The screams of a woman giving birth rang out, followed by the cry of a new born child entering the world. Atticus was born. Destined to walk in the shadows of the Gods, Mars and Jupiter. They gave him the heart of a Lion and the will to succeed against all adversaries. The Gods would not make Atticus’ path in life easy, born to the lowest of the low, hardship would befall him from a very young age. But one day he would be strong enough to defend the weak and fight with honour.... but make no mistake, Atticus would kill the enemies of Rome without mercy. One day he would become Rome’s greatest ever warrior. His name would be known in all four corners of the Roman Empire and beyond.
