Caesar and his 13th Legion defeat the Gaulish army of Vercingetorix. He receives a letter from Pompey Magnus informing him his Daughter Julia died while giving birth to a stillborn daughter. A group of men wearing blue dye break into Caesar's camp and steal the eagle standard. Marcus Junius Brutus arrives at Caesar's camp and they discuss recent events and Brutus' mother Servilia of the Junii, who is upset Caesar hasn't written to her lately. Mark Antony interrupts them and asks for gold to reclaim the eagle standard. Caesar orders Strabo to give Antony the gold he needs. Brutus asks about the eagle and Caesar tells him about its theft and the discontent amongst the legion it has caused. Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo return to camp with the standard and Gaius Octavian. Caesar is given Sextus' severed head and he realizes Pompey has already turned against him. Caesar and his army burn their camp and are on the move.
