The Price of the Empire. Legion Against the Empire Roman Cycle 3-4

Great Rome. An empire for which the Mediterranean Sea is an inland sea. An empire that cannot be crushed from the outside as long as the eagles of its legions shine in the sun. But rot has already settled within it. Greed, avarice, corruption, injustice. An Augustus who makes his soldiers starve will not last long. And he will be succeeded by those whom chroniclers will call the Soldier Emperors. Those who will tear apart the country they are supposed to protect. And that will be the end of the Roman World. Because an empire that has fallen apart will become prey to barbarians. But will the greedy capital understand a simple truth: that you cannot devour those who protect you? Oh yes, Rome will understand it! When it hears the thunder of sandals on the pavements of the Eternal City and sees the standards of its own legions at the gates of the imperial palace.
