AD 381. Five years have gone by since a Roman governor ordered the deaths of a Gothic king and his attendants at a feast in their honor.

Together, they must ally with the Roman Legion to fight against an evil that threatens all the civilized world and pursue justice for those they have lost. A terrible force of invaders, the Alemanni, throw a continent into chaos on their quest for power and revenge, and only a young Caesar Julian stands in their way.

But who built, even before Caesar was born, and for what reason was a red line of defense built stretching out to the sea, and what would Caesar and his legions do to breach it?
