The Last Battle

™ and © Disney

In 52 BC, the Celtic king Vercingetorix succumbed to Julius Caesar’s forces following the siege of Alesia . But the victory was incomplete, for a ragtag band of rebel holdouts, led by Cammius, a barbarian who himself once fought for Rome, evaded all attempts to defeat them.

To fight fire with fire, and to test the man’s true loyalties, Caesar dispatches his favorite general, Caius Rodius, to bring down the rebels. Who better, he reasons, than the man who taught Cammius the very skills he now uses to defy Rome?

Far from the sparkling glory of Hollywood’s Rome, Rodius and his small band of warriors pursue his former student and friend through the wild and untamed countryside. And all the while, Rodius, torn between duty and friendship, wonders whether the “road of stone and blood” that is the way of Rome’s soldiers is still a path he can continue to follow.
