Transcript
00:00The year was 52 BC. Rome was at war in Gaul, and a young soldier named Lucius Vero marched beneath
00:06Caesar's banner. He carried not only his sword, but also a small wooden charm his sister had given
00:12him, promising he would return. The battles were brutal forests burned, rivers ran red,
00:18and friends fell around him. In the chaos, Lucius fought with one thought only,
00:23I must survive, I must go home. At last, after years of war, the legions returned to Rome in
00:29triumph. Crowds cheered Caesar, but Lucius searched only for one face. There, by the city gates,
00:36stood his sister holding the same wooden charm. He had kept his promise. Rome had won glory,
00:41but for Lucius, victory was simply coming home.
