The second century BC. Rome has just crushed its main enemy - Carthage. It seems that the Romans can now breathe a sigh of relief, no one threatens the Republic anymore, but it only seems so - from now on, Rome is threatened by Rome itself. The mighty Republic enters a period of crisis. The old system cannot support the main force of the Roman state - its army. Reforms are needed. This is timidly discussed in the Senate and loudly - on the streets. The senators hold wealth and power, but behind the plebeians is strength, for they are warriors who join the army when consuls announce another recruitment. This force lacks only leaders. And such leaders appear - the Gracchi brothers, Tiberius and Gaius. Their maternal grandfather is Scipio Africanus, who defeated Hannibal's army in the battle of Zama and forced Carthage to conclude an unfavorable peace. He became famous as a warrior, and his grandsons are also warriors, but they are destined to become famous on a different battlefield. This book is a story about them, their family, their friends, their battles in the army and on the Forum. About their victories and terrible defeats.
