Rome. Power. Murder.
Rome, 44 B.C. Conqueror Julius Caesar (Colm Feore, Chicago) returns from his triumph in Spain to a neglected Republic in poverty and a Senate corrupted with power. As the Ides of March draw near, blood will be spilled, and, before it is done, the fate of the Roman Empire will fall upon the shoulders of one man…
Caeser’s dying wish is for his impetuous and inexperience 17-year-old nephew Octavius to become his heir. The young rogue, raised in privilege and pleasure, has never seen a battlefield. Marc Antony will not stand for this-nor will the assassins who vow to annihilate Caesar’s entire bloodline.
An epic undertaking on a grand and glorious scale, Empire brings to life the fate of the entire Roman Empire and one of the most significant, fascinating, and complex figures in modern history.
