Description

Rome 68 AD. The new Emperor Galba faces a daunting task: restoring order to the city after the chaos left by Nero. To help him, he turns to his three trusted advisors: Vinius, Laco, and Icelus. However, one of these men, Marcus Salvius Otho, has a bold plan to secure Galba's succession. Otho's proposal is simple: Galba should adopt him as his heir. But as Otho's campaign to win hearts and minds gains momentum, the stakes grow higher. In these treacherous times, even the most well-intentioned plans can have disastrous consequences. Otho's approach is a refreshing change from the usual palace politics, but it also puts him at risk. As the situation unfolds, it becomes clear that Otho's 'harmless' plan is not without its dangers. The fragile balance of power in Rome is about to be tested in a way that no one could have anticipated. As the story hurtles towards its climax, one thing becomes certain: the fate of Rome hangs in the balance. Will Galba's new advisors be able to navigate the treacherous waters of Roman politics, or will their efforts prove futile?
