About the series
In this six-issue DC miniseries from 2010–2011, writer Stuart C. Paul and artist Christian Duce craft a dark historical thriller set against the backdrop of ancient Rome, following a centurion caught in a web of political conspiracy and supernatural horror surrounding the assassination of Julius Caesar. The story blends gritty sword-and-sandal action with occult elements, as its protagonist navigates a city teetering on the edge of chaos. Paul and Duce's collaboration brings a visceral, cinematic energy to the tale, making it a distinctive entry in DC's brief foray into mature-readers historical fiction.
