Now, Maximus will accept the purple robe of emperor, if his scrappy legion can deliver this last crucial victory against insurmountable odds. He refuses, bound by an oath of duty, honor, and sacrifice to Rome, a city he has never seen. Friends, allies, and even enemies urge Maximus to proclaim himself emperor. With discipline, deception, persuasion, and surprise, Maximus holds the line against an increasingly desperate and innumerable foe. Only a wide river and a wily general keep them in check. On the opposite side of the Rhine River, tribal nations are uniting hundreds of thousands mass in preparation for the conquest of Gaul, and from there, a sweep down into Rome itself. But with the title comes a caveat: Maximus needs to muster and command a single legion to defend the perilous Rhine frontier.
Bravery, loyalty, experience, and success lead to Maximus’ appointment as "General of the West" by the Roman emperor, the ambition of a lifetime.
