Some are trying to survive, while others are playing with it. They sacrifice pawns for the sake of their achievements. The world is on the verge of a turning point in human history. The end of one era and the beginning of another - what separates them? The Roman Empire dreams of expanding its possessions, while Judea is becoming increasingly restless.

The game of the powers that be may result in irreparable consequences. Apparently someone decided it was time for a change..
