TV Series (2019–2020). 2 seasons. Year 31 BC. Manio Sempronio, a well-off patrician, accidentally kills a senator and is sentenced to death. Unable to take his own life, he pleads for any other punishment, whatever it may be. As a result, he is sent to serve as a legionary in Thrace, the land where his father, "The Magnificent," built his military legend.

Carrying the burden of restoring his family’s honor, Manio is also accompanied by his slave Agorastocles—a friend, a brother... and another weight to bear. Agorastocles has his own ambitions, which, like all slaves, he can only live out through his master.

Thrace has been peaceful for decades, with the camp under the command of the Legion's General, an elderly man cared for by his daughter, Valeria. A shrewd woman accustomed to Rome’s intrigues, Valeria skillfully manipulates her father.

Manio’s arrival, driven by his desperation to become a hero, quickly turns both the region’s military stability and the daily lives of everyone in the camp upside down.
