<p><b>ROME'S NEW HERO MAY PROVE TO BE HER GREATEST ENEMY YET</b></p><p>The tyrant king has been&nbsp;banished from Rome and the republic has been&nbsp;born.</p><p>But Rome is still a divided nation, with the plebeians&nbsp;on one side and the patricians on the other, and it's not long before tensions begin to rise.</p><p>Into this turbulent arena strides Caius Marcius, a young patrician who thinks the plebs are scum, fit only for swelling the ranks of the Roman army. But the plebs&nbsp;have power under the new republic, and when Caius asks for their support in his election to the Senate, they refuse to give it. Instead, they demand Caius be punished for his pride with banishment. The people have already pulled a king down from his throne and survived. Why should they worry about exiling an arrogant young man?</p><p>Unfortunately for the people of Rome, Caius is not a man to accept his banishment meekly. He is a son of Mars, a man born for war. And no matter what it costs, Caius will have his revenge on Rome, or die trying.</p>
