44 v. Chr.: Julius Cäsar kehrt erfolgreich aus dem Bürgerkrieg nach Rom zurück. Doch im Zentrum des Weltreichs herrschen Armut und Korruption. Deshalb plant der Heerführer, das Reich neu zu organisieren und den Senat zu entmachten. Angeführt von Cassius und Brutus wird der mächtigste Mann Roms während einer Senatssitzung mit 23 Dolchstichen ermordet. Im Sterben bestimmt er seinen völlig unerfahrenen, 17-jährigen Neffen Octavius als Nachfolger. Der junge Patrizier sieht sich sofort mit mächtigen Feinden konfrontiert: Cäsars Mörder wollen dessen gesamte Blutlinie auslöschen, und auch Cäsars einstiger Vertrauter und Feldherr, Marcus Antonius, sieht sich als legitimer Anwärter für die Machtübernahme in Rom. Verbündete findet Cäsars Nachfolger in dem Gladiator Sertorius, der Cäsar geschworen hat, das Leben des Jungen zu schützen und in Camena, die schöne Priesterin der Göttin Vesta. Beide riskieren ihr Leben, um Cäsars letzten Willen durchzusetzen und Octavius zur Macht zu verhelfen…

After the assassination, Caesar's murderers seek to take over the empire, but standing in their way is a will naming Caesar's nephew, Octavius, as heir.
