Gaius has to use his knowledge sooner than anticipated due to his father's early demise in a slave riot. With his uncle Counsel Marius's help young Gaius resumes his fathers duties as a member of the Roman senate. Meanwhile Marius has to fight with Cornelius Sulla his main opponent in Rome who happens to be the other counsel.Marcus on the other hand joins the Roman army and proves to be a brave and competent officer with his strength and sound training.
Gaius puts his life into risk by supporting his uncle Marius in the civil war."
