The Last Legion plot
"The end of an empire...the beginning of a legend."
476 AD. The once mighty Roman Empire is shaking to its foundations. Romulus Augustulus, the heir apparent to the Imperial throne, is captured by the Goths and imprisoned in a remote fortress. A number of faithful, led by Aurelius - commander of a thinned legion - and the learned Ambrosinus, manage to free him. Followed by the Gothic leader Odoacer, they flee north in the hope of finding another legion in Britain that can help them. They are aided in their quest by an enigmatic Eastern warrior and a mysterious sword.
