Before the time of Arthur and Camelot, Britain was invaded by Rome and savaged by warring factions of Picts, Celts, and invading Saxons. The Roman citizens who lived there were faced with a choice once the Roman Legions left in the fourth century: to be killed or move to the continent. For Publius Varrus and his friend, Caius Britannicus, there is only one answer. They will stay and try to preserve what is best of Roman life. Unknowingly, they create a legend for they are King Arthur's great-grandfathers.
