Plot
It's 75 BC and Rome is in turmoil. Killers are on the loose. The dictator Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix is having all the Roman Senators
who refuse to support him murdered.
Julius Caesar must flee due to his wife's Cornelia family's ties to Sulla's enemies.  Caesar decides to flee Rome to the court of his friend, King Nicomedes of Bithynia.  While traveling to Mileto, Caesar is captured by pirates and taken to their island fortress on the island of Formacusa.  The pirates led by Hamar are engaged in hostilities with Bithynia, and Caesar swears that once he has paid his ransom of fifty talents of gold, he will return and destroy the pirates.
