The Eagles of Rome (2015-)

The Germanic territories are under the heel of General Drusus. In the aftermath of conquest, the chieftain Sigmar surrenders his son, Arminius, as a hostage to Rome. The young barbarian is placed under the tutelage of Titus Valerius Falco, a former legionary whose own son, the unruly Marcus, requires the same harsh discipline. Under Falco’s unyielding command, the two youths endure a brutal regimen of military training. Their initial hostility is slowly forged into a resilient bond through shared hardship and the distractions presented by the women of the capital. The Tiber flows past their barracks, indifferent to their transformation.
