As the Roman Republic rises from the ashes of civil war, two military titans – the aristocrat Sulla and the upstart Marius – clash in a high-stakes battle for supremacy. Driven by ambition and cunning, they marshal their formidable legions, outmaneuver conniving senators, and stoke the embers of bloody conflict. In this crucible of power, only one man can emerge as the first among equals – the true First Man in Rome.
