The Gates of Rome. The Fall of Kings

In the bosom of the abundant nature of the Apennine Peninsula, a powerful state strengthens. Its heart is Rome, a city where daily life is intertwined with glory and decline, enchanting beauty and the excitement of bloody games. Against this... picturesque backdrop, two boys grow up dreaming of glory earned in the ranks of the most powerful army the world has ever known. One is the son of a senator, endowed with privileges and ambitions, who has been given much and is expected to deliver much. The other is an illegitimate child, whose only support is his strength and quick wit... While the young Gaius and Marcus are training in the art of combat under the guidance of one of Rome's most fearsome gladiators, the confrontation between bitter rivals - Marius and Sulla, in which the victor will gain incredible power, is drawing the state towards civil war... Gaius and Marcus are forced to go their separate ways, and by the time they meet again, everything will be different. The fierce conflict, in which a Roman will raise arms against a Roman, will put their friendship to a decisive test.
