Ancient Rome is a place of civilisation, opportunity, and creation. It sits as the pinnacle empire among the Ancient World and all quiver before it.

We have all heard the story of it's greatest orator, Cicero, it's greatest general, Julius Caesar, and it's first Emperor, Augustus. But your history books do not tell you everything...
What about its greatest warrior?

Cassius, a bastard of no name, ascended to become ancient history's finest, almost in league with Hercules himself...

But why don't we hear of him?
Well, it's not a story Rome wished to share...

The Risen Empire

25 parts Complete Mature

In the heart of ancient Rome, where power is seized with blood and betrayal lurks in every shadow, the mighty Valerius dynasty falls to ruin. The once-great ruler and his family are brutally slaughtered in a coup led by treacherous conspirators-except for one. Lucius Valerius, the sole heir, barely escapes the carnage, left for dead in the untamed wilderness beyond the city's walls. With nothing but his wits and an unyielding thirst for vengeance, Lucius is forced to fight, adapt, and survive in the brutal underworld of Rome. From the lawless slums to the gladiator pits, from war-torn battlefields to the grand halls of treachery, he gathers allies-outcasts, rebels, and warriors who, like him, have nothing left to lose. As the empire rots under the rule of corrupt tyrants, whispers of a fallen prince rising from the shadows begin to spread. Rome will tremble when Lucius returns-not as a desperate survivor, but as a force of reckoning. The throne was stolen. The empire corrupted. But the blood of emperors still flows in his veins. And he will stop at nothing to reclaim what is rightfully his.
