330 AD. - In a Cyprus witnessing the first changes brought by the rise of Constantine young Calocaerus, the son of a mutilated veteran averse to Rome, chooses to join the army to escape misery. His decision will cost him the disownment of his family, and when his benefactor Crispus, son of the augustus, dies as a result of a betrayal, Calocaerus will become aware of his mistake.
Prostrated by the abuses of the dux Julius Constantius and wishing for a return to the past, he will seek freedom by fleeing to the peaks of Mount Olympus. There, he will make an unexpected transformation.
From being a simple defector, also aided by his introduction to an ancient cult, he will become the leader of a historic
rebellion. Thus cherishing the dream of restoring Hellenic culture in place of Roman supremacy.
