Třetí část čtyřdílného historického cyklu o životě Gaia Julia Caesara představuje léto života tohoto významného muže starověku. Julius na prahu třicítky tráví svůj život jako prétor v Hispánii, zmítán nespokojeností s tím, co dosud dokázal, či spíše nedokázal. Vrací se do Říma, kandiduje na úřad konzula a posléze se vydává do zaalpské Galie a Británie. Galie se však stává doslova polem mečů, které proti římské nadvládě bez ustání pozvedají galské a germánské kmeny. Římská republika prožívá své poslední dny v době prvního triumvirátu mezi Caesarem, Pompeiem a Crassem, dobu, kdy přežít je jistým druhem umění. Přesto i zde se najdou chvíle pro lásku a věrná přátelství, ale i pro otázky po smyslu dobyvačných válek a ctižádosti.
