In 52 BC, the Roman Republic was in its heyday; the consul Pompeii (played by Rick Warden) sat in the capital; the ally Caesar (played by Seren Hind Ciarán Hinds) fought against Gaul. During the period, the 13th Army has repeatedly made military exploits. The chief Ulinas (played by Kevin McKidd) was courageous and strategic; his subordinate Polo (played by Ray Stevenson) was addicted to alcohol, but Loyal to the liver and righteousness. When Caesar was victorious, Octavian went to the front line to give condolences at his mother's order; he didn't want to be robbed on the way, but was saved by Ulinas and Polo who passed by. The 13th legion triumphed, Ulinas met his wife who had been away for 8 years, but each had their own minds. Polo accidentally discovered the fact that Ulinas's wife Hong Xing had gone out of the wall, in order to protect the honor of the chief; Polo, with the help of Octavian, forced out the truth. Caesar was ready to take over the power, waiting for the opportunity. Pompeii saw his ambition and discussed with the people in the Senate; among them, the noble forces headed by Cicero insisted that Caesar was a traitor to the Republic and should be killed.

Mark Antony: I really think you should reconsider.
Gaius Julius Caesar: Anyone else, certainly. But those 2 - they found my golden standard and survived a storm that killed an army. Now they come face to face with Pompay Magnus. They have powerful Gods on their side. And I will never kill a man with such powerful friends.

Gaius Octavian Caesar: You shall leave this city. You shall go to your Eastern provinces, and you shall not come back.
Mark Antony: Or else what, boy?
Gaius Octavian Caesar: You shall leave this city or I will declare our alliance broken. I will have this sad story read in the forum, I will have it posted in every city in Italy, and you know the people are not so liberal with their wives as you. They shall say you wear cuckolds horns; they shall say your wife betrayed you with a low-born plebe on my staff. You will be a figure of fun. The proles will laugh at you in the street. Your soldiers will mock you behind your back.
[Antony puts his hands around Octavians neck as if to strangle him]
Gaius Octavian Caesar: Go on, strike me. See what will happen.
[Antony lets go and starts to leave]
Gaius Octavian Caesar: Oh, and Antony, if you find that gold, you'll be sure to tell me, won't you?
