What is Cesta do Říma about?
The story begins in Alexandria, where Romulus and Tarquinius are recruited into a Roman legion. Their paths soon diverge. Romulus continues with Caesar's forces and fights at Zela against the army of Pharnaces, king of Pontus. After disappearing from Alexandria, Tarquinius tries to reach Rhodes and explore his Etruscan roots. In Rome, Fabiola is caught in political and personal conflicts involving Brutus and Marcus Antonius. Romulus longs to return, reunite with his sister, and take revenge on Gemellus, but reaching Rome does not automatically bring freedom. The concluding volume combines wartime adventure, family destinies, and the political tensions of the late Roman Republic.
