Welcome to a fracturing Roman empire in the second century AD: ravaged by plague and with wars rumbling on along all frontiers. One man tries to hold everything together but, beset by personal tragedy from a young age, who is holding him together? You've heard the stories: the crazy emperor who thought he was Hercules and fought in the Colosseum as a gladiator. But is 'crazy' too easy a label? Could there have been method behind the perceived madness?
