As the war raged between Rome and Gaul, an unexpected turn brought relief to the Romans, when the Gauls signaled their surrender. Julious Ceasar was praised for his bravado, along with Octavis, the ruler of Rome, who had appointed Ceasar as chief general of the Roman Empire. Immediately following the surrender, a chain of mysterious events befell the city of Rome, leaving the senators uneasy and the citizens frightened.

Still in all the greatest unanswered question remains-who is the silent assassin?
