| In the year 180 A.D. Emperor Marcus Aurelius' twelve year campaign against the Barbarian tribes in Germania was drawing to an end. One final stronghold stands in the way of Roman victory and the promise of peace throughout the empire. |

| As General Maximus turns to join his troops, a small robin catches his eye as it sits on a bare twig... |
| He smiles as the robin flies away... |
| And almost immediatly his smile fades. The reality of the cold day and the soldiers awaiting his signal to begin battle interrupt his thoughts. |
 |
| Soldiers line up for the battle as Maximus walks along the rank of the army |
| He smiles as he greets the soldiers... |
