"By the will of fate." There were two of them. Two great Romans. Two outstanding military leaders. Caesar and Pompey the Great, who expanded the borders of the state, won many battles, cleared the Mediterranean Sea of pirates, and repelled the threat to Rome in the East. They were not only allies, but also relatives. But... the thirst for power took them to different sides and made them enemies. Rome found itself on the threshold of a new Civil War. The opponents' forces are equal. Everything must be decided by the will of fate. But first, Caesar will have to cross the Rubicon. "The Fall of the Titan, or the October Horse." This ritual dates back to the founding days of Rome. In late autumn, when the harvest had already been harvested and the soldiers were resting from bloody battles, the gods of war and earth were offered the best that the city had. The ritual sacrifice was the war horse that came first in the chariot race during the festive celebrations on the Champs de Mars. But this time a person is doomed to become the victim! The man to whom Rome owes many victories. A man who was revered as a god by almost all the inhabitants of the city. And now the people close to him decided to sacrifice him in order to free Rome from the tyrant."Antony and Cleopatra." Caesar is dead, the Republic's possessions are divided. Antony rules in the East, Octavian rules in the West. Rome was ripe to be ruled by an emperor. Antony is best suited for this role, he is a favorite of the people and has strong support in the Senate. Octavian's position is more precarious, but he is determined to change the situation and gain full power. However, Cleopatra, the ruthless queen of Egypt, has completely different plans. She dreams of placing her eldest son on the Roman throne. And she chooses Antony, who is madly in love with her and is ready to do anything for her, as the instrument to carry out her plans.
