A conspiracy led by Praetor Catiline, who tried to seize power during Republican Rome, nearly led Roman society to civil war. Hoping for the help of two consuls who had great influence among the people, Julius Caesar and Marcus Crassus, Catiline was eager to govern the state, first through “democratic” elections, and then through force. And only the wisdom of Cicero, who made a revealing speech in the Senate, made it possible to avoid much bloodshed. The most famous characters from ancient Roman history become the heroes of an exciting action film in which the author draws analogies with modern society.
