96 AD. - After a lifetime spent defending the borders of the Chinese empire, General Ban Chao finds himself
wearing entirely new shoes. At the behest of Emperor Han Hedi, he will be assigned to lead a diplomatic expedition
to the West in order to establish contacts with a vast and distant domain,
the one they call Da Qin and which in truth is none other than the Roman Empire. First, however, he will have to penetrate into
China, in search of a village apparently born out of the very first contacts between their civilizations.
Meanwhile, in Rome an elderly and respected Senator surprisingly attains the purple.
He will encounter immense difficulties in maintaining power while keeping away from his enemies: that, at least, until his
contact with a group of mysterious men who have come from the Far East.
