DEAD ROMANS (2022)

MINISERIES PREMIERE Arminius, a Germanic prince raised in Rome, has sworn vengeance against the Empire that butchers his people. He wants to make a queen of the woman he loves, Honoria, a fellow slave. Now, fifty thousand Romans will die to give her a throne she never asked for...or wanted. Lush, beautiful illustrations bring to life a brutal tale of love and war from the birth of the Roman Empire.

Honoria refuses to believe that her lover could have betrayed her-and Rome-by leading the German attack. But she puts her worry aside to defend the Roman camp from a band of raiders. Arminius struggles to keep his forces united when the tribal bands of Germania begin to fracture beneath old blood feuds.

As the Romans attempt to break free from the rain-soaked Teutoburg Forest, Arminius sets his armies upon them once again. In the wake of this attack, will Honoria be able to ignore the painful truth: that the man she most trusted has betrayed the empire they're both sworn to serve?

Roman forces are withering from another vicious attack, confronting Honoria with the true extent of German brutality. In all this bloodshed, Arminius begins to wonder if his future kingdom will be worth the sacrifice without Honoria by his side.

Arminius basks in the glow of victory, but he still has not found Honoria, so his armies' cries ring hollow. Honoria and her companions reach the Roman camp, where the remaining generals plot one final, desperate effort to snatch victory from disaster.

MINISERIES FINALE The battle builds to its climax with the beleaguered Legions facing thousands of Germanic warriors fighting to free their homeland. Honoria races back to Rome, duty in her heart above Arminius. With victory finally within his grasp, Arminius wonders what a throne is worth when you're left to sit alone.
