you

in the year 300 ad the northern

Garrison's of the Roman Empire were

constantly besieged by barbarians and

revolts reinforced by marauding tribes

from lands far to the north they

relentlessly assailed the Roman

fortresses and the territories that the

Romans had conquered and pacified

battles massacres sacking burning and

looting were rampant the country was

shaken by terror violence and death

the overwhelming flood of barbarians

swarmed over the fertile plains of Gaul

sweeping away the defenses of those who

tried to resist their bloody onslaughts

the Roman legions sought desperately to

rid themselves and gall of the barbarian

threat the struggle was bitter and

bloody but the states were the future of

Roman civilization the barbarians

attacked with more and more brutality

and violence smashing the Roman

strongholds slaughtering their allies

Gaul was completely unnerved by the

constant attacks the moans of the

wounded and the flames the house spread

throughout the empire and at this

arduous time a Roman legion that had

distinguished itself for years and

battles against the barbarians was

returning to Rome for a well-deserved

rest

do you think we'll ever get out of this

accursed forest my friend we get to roam

and into one of those caverns and

sadirah you'll forget this trip after

one glass of wine you Barton glasses

make mine a barrel or so

don't you think we ought to stop for a

while here Darius the men are almost

exhausted

no no we better keep moving we must get

out of this forest before the Sun Goes

Down hey we're out of the forest

we're coming into a valley

there's smoke down there

it looks suspicious to me

first squadron forward everybody else

wait here

Oh

you

I was ambushed the barbarians caught us

off guard they killed everyone and

they're up the gold the captain didn't

look much like a barbarian but

sounds to me like horses standby men for

action Helia that's alright there Romans

it looks as if we've arrived too late

one of them told us before he died that

they'd been ambushed by barbarians that

robbed of gold that was precisely what I

was afraid of who are you

Darius commander of the 10th Legion I've

already heard tell of you

I heard you fought a magnificent battle

against the Teutons on the banks of the

Rhine for what they told me back in Rome

you were supremely courageous fought the

battle with great skill

we were lucky that's all you don't like

talking about your campaigns do you know

I am Claudius first proconsul of the

Emperor Diocletian I suppose you'd like

to know what I'm doing here in Gaul it's

really no business of mine

I've just one problem taking these men

back to Rome yes I can imagine going

back to Rome again after such a long and

difficult campaign would be the just

recompense to which you're entitled

would be what do you mean

the goals which were stolen from that

convoy was the pay ship Minh for our

troops it's not the first convoy that's

been ambushed the situation is extremely

delicate throughout the whole territory

the sumerians and the Germans are

putting pressure on the frontiers of the

Empire

I'm afraid the troops will be in a very

bad humor if they don't get their pay

you're right many of the tranzalpine

legions have refused to fight some of

the local regiments have even deserted

we've got to make absolutely sure that

these convoys reach our troops safely

it's vital to us but that's one of your

duties I don't envy you unfortunately by

order of the Emperor

I must proceed to a lazier with my

legion at once it's a lucky thing for me

that we met this way you'll go to

treviri I have an idea you'll find out

something there don't forget that my men

have been away from Rome for nearly six

years

look look closely at this gold piece

near the face of the Emperor Diocletian

you see the small cross yes I see it all

the gold pieces in the convoy were

marked like that you have only to find

out who has gold pieces like this to

find the Chiefs of the bandits

I know this is a test gun worthy of a

heroic fighter like yourself but it's

one way of avenging these men who died

under the standard of Rome all right

I'll go to treviri

we're almost at rivairy Valerius go and

find a hiding place for the men how

about over there it looks as if there's

a grotto I don't like this business

there's something strange going on able

to better not let them know who we are

Marcus go and get some clothes ready

we'll disguise ourselves as merchants

right you can take the trip and send and

send me a dozen of these to Terry hey

you two who are you what are you doing

here we are merchants from Segen tea oh

you mean you left Spain to come to a

place like this

why not is there no business here in

treviri why of course there's business

here

it's just a matter of agreeing on the

terms what have you got in there

necklaces nothing that has any value

well then open it up

if these haven't any value then you

won't object to my taking something as a

souvenir

all right pay objections my friends know

no objections get going then nothing

like a Rome but it's a pretty fine city

where are we going let's go find a

tavern and take the weight off our legs

and then we'll decide what we'll do next

My dear devoted friends I drink a toast

from the joys and pleasures which

unfortunately this life bestows with

such avarice and for my part I drink a

toast to our lovely city of treviri

which is fortunate to be governed by a

man as wise and as just as you delicious

Livia you don't seem to be enjoying

yourself much here no Act

I understand Libya only don't forget

this is not the place to show openly the

antipathy you feel for the people of

Rome

don't you believe it's justified you

don't have to tell me my dear only for

ladies of our position in society it's

our duty to keep our private thoughts to

ourselves and to act with diplomacy

towards hate them with a smile hmm very

well I'll try

they attacked another convoy 20 miles

from here and the gold the gold was

stolen and all the men in the escort

were massacred even though you would

still a maintain the contrary I'm sure

the Chiefs of this band of barbarians

who've been stealing our gold are right

here in treviri we must find those

murderers at all costs don't worry we'll

find them you'd better as chief of the

Praetorians Brutus you'll be held

personally responsible for the success

of the enterprise I want you to close

every gate to the city of all caravans

of merchants rigorously checked and give

orders to your praetorian guard to

arrest any suspicious persons on sight

I'll tell you one thing it won't be long

before there's a full-scale reveal

did you hear that the Praetorians

attacked the cattle market today we

don't mind obeying the Romans but not

this criminal band of Praetorians led by

Brutus right but their iniquities will

soon be over

important to remain united to be ready

to act Barnard

from far away

what's your name sir and you're Marcus

that means I was wrong

have you to come from Rome

you're a beautiful girl Sara but your

nose is too long

quickly there's a way out here

nope this way make haste follow me men

hey you did you see two men running away

nobody came this way let's put them over

there you others follow me

in there

don't make a sound the Praetorians are

after us we mustn't let them catch us

whatever happens are you a Roman from

now from treviri can we trust you

I won't betray you can we hide anywhere

here yes certainly come this way

well did you find anybody know when he

went as far as the eastern gate follow

me come on hurry and so you escaped from

the Petroleum's did you only because

your knees helped us anyone who was

threatened by Rome may count upon my

assistance why do you hate the Romans

her father was killed by the Romans

isn't that a sufficient reason now

please tell me where you both come from

a distant country

well yes quite from Rome no no from

Spain

we've never been as far at the Rome

after all it's no place for simple

merchants like us it's strange you don't

look like merchants actually you're much

more the style in the look of two

aristocrats or even soldiers well you're

very very kind I'm afraid you're not

sheltering to heroic survivors of many a

battle no we weren't born for warfare

but for peace good meals on the company

of lovely ladies and pieces of gold by

the way show me what you have in that

box I hardly dare to our merchandise is

poor and certainly unworthy of noble

ladies like you oh I never knew a

merchant who refused to sell as you wish

excuse me

oh but it's a beautiful necklace how

much for it

oh nothing allow me to make you a

present of it oh no I couldn't possibly

accept it must be worth at least one

piece of gold here you are Oh

this coin is really very finely minted

I'm certainly lucky to have found one of

these pieces so soon is anything wrong

oh no it's the new emperor isn't it yes

Diocletian they say his membra he's

unjust and cruel I see you have no more

wine I'll get you some oh that seems

like a very good idea maybe I'll be able

to give you a hand

thanks I would appreciate come on have

you seen anybody no nobody came this way

keep on looking you others follow me

try this one Marcus

exquisite even in Rome I've never tasted

better oh but I thought you said that

you hadn't been to Rome

what's it matter what I said I much

prefer to drink now yeah no I'd prefer

to do it later excuse me a moment I must

get a Chuck

Hey what are you doing open open this

door open this door or you'll be sorry

now I come to think of it

you haven't told me your name my name is

Livia and mine is Darius net Roman it's

not my fault after all there must be

some good Romans now I don't think so

they're cruel and merciless they've

conquered the world oppressed the people

massacred soldiers well I admit the way

you're right

how about the governor domitius he's not

a bad man I suppose but he obeys to the

letter his orders from Rome and that's

one more reason why I loathe him but you

could go and live in another country why

do you stay with your aunt I couldn't

leave her all alone she's been so kind

to me she brought me here after the

death of my father I can sense something

strange she's different from you why'd

you say that just an impression but I'm

sure of one thing she doesn't despise

Romans I believe she even agrees with

them from some points of view I don't

understand

please I want to ask you a question but

don't answer if you don't want to what's

wrong you're looking at me so strange

why that piece of gold you gave me just

now yeah governor what is it

it's the Praetorians where's Marcus in

the wine cellar is there another way out

of there

yes come on I'll come again when I have

more leisure Darius

this way

at the far end of the cellar you'll find

a door leading to the garden hurry

watch out Darius it's no use I tried it

and over there at the far enough thing

doing

we're on the right track Marcus that

piece of gold at across him but now

we've got to get out of this Sun I have

an impression that for once we're really

in a hole we're trapped there's no way

out what's going on why didn't you open

it once there were two men I was

suspicious of they'd have escaped if you

hadn't happened to drop by I thought

they should be put in a safe place

so I locked them up because I wanted to

make your work easier for you and where

are they I'll shoot no pea that you

mustn't you're too young to understand

here Olivia you don't realize who those

young men are I know the laws of

hospitality they were my guests

they are Romans Olivia

they are in here

but there's nobody here I don't

understand they were here they can't

have gotten away I'd better look around

it's now or never come on quick

come on

there they go follow me dad you mustn't

think

excuse me Livia I don't have time to

thank you for your hospitality goodbye

who goes there it's B Darien your

command stay on the alert double the

guard and above all keep your eyes open

you to watch the road do others to the

tearing weld are you out laughs you were

gonna get worried so are we any news

from our site nothing but there's word

from Claudius I've come from Malaysia

well consul Claudius has had further

orders for you

I thought so a pretty good scheme

listen to me all of you I've orders to

prepare a fake shipment of gold to tempt

the barbarians into attacking Marcus

you'll organize the wagon train and

malarious will fill the gold chest with

rocks various you'll go to try variant

wants to see governor domitius and ask

him to send a few squadrons of

reinforcements to us tomorrow at dawn

and with their aid we'll smash these

barbarians

over there look there they are the

wagons are loaded with chess yes it's

another shipment of Roman gold for the

soldiers

assemble all our men quickly we'll

follow them awhile only watch out that

they don't spot us and I don't want to

sound out of anyone let's go

forward

hilarious do you think they'll attack

yet yes any minute now

I hope the governor's men managed to get

here in time over there look

it's various he didn't get through to

delicious I'm afraid we can't expect any

help anymore

forward

look that's declaring were the last

Roman convoy was attacked over there

nothing left not a trace of anything

what's become of the burned-out wagons

and where are the bodies they've cleared

everything away there's certainly an

ambush somewhere near waiting for us so

what are we to do you'll go to the rear

with a dozen men and you Meuse just take

the other Bank

you'll attack them in the rear when you

think it's the right moment get going

right and you Valerius dispose the men

to repel an attack

alt everyone dismount

prepare to camp here

they've fallen into the trap like

abrasive geese maybe you're right but it

seems a strange place for a commander to

decide to pitch his camp what do you

mean I don't understand he's left

himself completely open and he doesn't

seem to be posting sentries around the

area either he's crazy or he's planning

something

prepare the fires are the archers ready

yes torero in position good work thank

you we'll attack with half our force

stand by to come into action at my

signal in case we're attacked from

behind donut banks till I give the order

you think we'll make it without those

reinforcements

I hope so Marcus let's hope they're not

too many of them

follow me

get down behind the wagon

courage men don't let them get through

all words defender left back

caller man-powered

old arias naked attack with your core we

must hold him in any price why don't you

bring in niveus in this man what are

they doing over there listen the

barbarians will try to attack us from

the rear if they get in behind we'll get

massacred when Naevia's thinks fit he'll

attack get moving

devious Tomer

quickly man

we play

traitors gonna pay for this

Oh

he was trying to get away one of their

offices I suppose he was leading the

column that moved in to attack us from

behind

good work maybe now we'll find out a few

facts no I won't tell all I want is the

name of your chief

no no I'll never tell you suppose you

don't realize we have lots of ways of

making people like you loosen their

tongues

so you are the renowned arias from what

I see Caesars friend proconsul Claudius

has given you full powers and I'll be

happy to help you any way I can

when do you intend to begin your

investigation it's already done

delicious I've already found out who is

responsible uh have you arrested him you

can have that pleasure

we must waste no more time we must leave

it well there's no point in leaving

domitius the man who led the barbarians

to attack and robbed the gold convoys of

Rome is here in this palace right now at

this very moment he is at your side are

you completely insane you had a mask

over your face when you attacked me but

I recognized your voice

delicious I hope you don't believe this

charge against me are you positively

sure that is what proof have you against

him I captured a barbarian named RunAs

he'll tell you everything he'll give you

all the proof you may need to hang this

filthy murderer take him away

Darius where's Marcus do you know he's

gone on he's waiting for us with dark

Quinn is in front of the tavern any

orders for us nothing more for now you

don't seem to be too happy about

discovering the man who's been robbing

our convoys no I'm not Octavius you're

right I've the impression that I'm in

the center of a conspiracy I have a

feeling we're in grave danger

I don't know from water from where maybe

if we find out where the Gold's hidden

we'll find the answer to that maybe but

that's another odd thing

it's not easy to hide such an immense

fortune and gold

yeah the barbarians might have taken it

anywhere no the gold somewhere in this

town I'm sure of it but where Octavius

go to the tavern find Marcus and wait

for me there right let's go

so how did I play my part I recited my

lines well you were just splendid

Darius's here in town we'd better

capture him and his men before they make

contact with Claudius fella

ah I almost forgot something

No at mercy Brutus they tortured me they

forced me to tell don't please Oh

perhaps you'd better leave treviri for a

while where's the gold hidden in a good

place it's hidden safely away don't

worry nobody will find it

oh well I'll tell you when the moment is

ripe if you try to trick me yo I said

before don't worry get out now going

you know we're taking a very big chance

Agusta before long we'll go away

together loaded with gold far away from

Rome and everything

please please go

why the Bunge meeting we should keep an

eye on him how about the goal are you

sure it's in a safe place

but if somebody finds it the goal is

hidden somewhere that nobody would think

of and when will I have my share you'll

get it when we've gotten rid of Diaries

and not till then

I'll come back and see you later

look at all these beautiful girls here

yes

Darrius said to meet him here well this

is a surprise haven't I met you here

before I don't think so it's the first

time I've come here don't fulfill Circus

tomorrow yeah I'll meet with part of the

government tax

arias over here ah bring some more wine

please

I think there's something very fishy in

this somewhere in what way

well Brutus led those barbarians only

I'm sure he's not the chief of the band

Oh do you mean to say there's somebody

else behind it yes maybe I'll find out

who before long but if what I suspect is

true we're in very grave danger Marcus

get the men together and go and wait for

me in the grotto niveus take a squadron

of men and go to proconsul Claudius camp

and tell him to come and meet me in true

very as fast as possible right what

about you don't worry about me why not

let me come along with no this is

something I got to do myself just when I

was going to buy you all a flagon of

wine

you're a Roman I wanted to tell you

before but if you remember I didn't have

time

why did you come here again I can see

that you're not pleased on the contrary

I wanted to see you

what is the merchant not a soldier I'll

dress as a merchant if that will please

you may I offer you a wine I'm touched

by your hospitality could you be

thinking of taking me to your wine

cellar Oh Darius I didn't know about

that I swear I didn't know about her you

understand me you know how I hate the

Romans but I could never betray a man

who was a guest in my house Brutus you

aren't expecting me were you now at last

I understand but a little too late I'm

afraid

Darius it's useful to try to resist the

house is surrounded take him away take

him away no quickly Livia

who are you what do you want believe me

I want to help you I follow commander

Darius here and I saw him being arrested

by those men yes well you love him don't

you that's not your business he's in

terrible danger Olivia and a great deal

more danger than he thinks how do you

know about that I heard them talking in

the tavern but by good fortune his men

are safely outside the town and a grata

where the forest begins we must tell

them what's happened

they are Romans well if you're not going

to do anything I'll have to go and warn

them wait a minute

Santeria Marcus oh I see we have

visitors this is a good chance to pay

you back for your recent hospitality if

you like but first let me tell you the

Daris was arrested by the Praetorians

arrested when and how not very long ago

my house I might have known it

and naturally I suppose you didn't know

the Praetorians would come to your house

and arrest Darius you didn't know no I

didn't know it

Oh would you please listen I have no

reason to lie I know exactly which you

must be thinking of me but there's no

time to stand here arguing he's in

terrible danger he'll get killed I could

read it

Brutus his eyes when he took him away

Brutus did I hear you say

Brutus arrested him yes why'd you ask me

that because I know that Brutus is in

jail now I was in the palace when

domitius had him arrested

and you expect us to believe is it

Liberty but Livy is telling the truth

Marcus I was there I saw Brutus at our

house myself

oh I beg of you please Marcus don't you

understand I'm telling you the truth we

haven't a minute to waste we must save

terrace

what did Darius say when he saw Brutus

he just stood looked at him and then he

said now I believe I understand yes

Darius was suspicious of someone but who

all right Libya so what do you think we

ought to do I'm not sure maybe I should

take you to the prison first yes and of

course there will run into Brutus in his

Praetorian you mustn't go Marcus it's a

trap I tell you if that's what you think

I have nothing else to say I'll go and

rescue him myself

Olivia it's madness

you'll never be able to rescue him alone

Marcus she loves him

gold I believe I know where he has it

this way

lassic along

Patrol

you were very clever your courage and

bravery are remarkable and deserved to

be rewarded my dear Darius but I'm

unable to give them their due

unfortunately I must act against you and

at once I've no alternative do whatever

you wish domitius but remember you'll

have to face the justice of row I

represent the justice of Rome Darius I'm

the governor of all Gaul my men will

bear witness that I found you stealing

the gold belonging to the Emperor for

that I have condemned you to be executed

you and all your soldiers perform the

sentence hold in the name of the Emperor

Claudius

my mission is finished Claudius here is

the goal of Rome domitius was

responsible for the robberies which put

the Empire in jeopardy

this woman was his accomplice your life

should be forfeit for your complicity in

this crime but enough blood has already

been spilled for that gold

Rome's justice is implacable but not

cruel you'll go into exile beyond the

frontiers of the Empire take her away Oh

mark

now noble Darius it's with gratitude

that Rome confides the future of the

Empire to a man as brave as you are

it gives me pleasure to nominate you

governor of treviri this sword in my arm

will always be in the service of Rome

farewell Darius

lívia I do imagine governor do you still

hate the Romans no more my darling
