Episode 172: Rebellion: Eagles of the Empire with Simon Scarrow


Listen Later

AD.60 and Brittania is in chaos. Boudica has had a taste of victory against the formidable veterans
in Camulodunum and she won’t stop now. How will Roman heroes Macro and Cato fare against
the notorious Queen of the Britons?
A quick response to the rapidly advancing rebel forces, Governor Suetonius takes command leading
his army to the besieged Londinium with prefect Cato and a mounted escort in tow.
The grim reality of Britannia slipping deeper into chaos and hysteria becomes unmistakable as tribal
warriors continue to swell the ranks of Boudica’s forces. Both Cato and Suetonius confront the
sobering truth that minimal preparations have been made to confront a full-scale insurrection.
Meanwhile, in Londinium, a heart-wrenching revelation unfolds. Centurion Macro is among those
missing following the Camulodunum massacre. Has Cato's loyal comrade, who has faced countless
battles, met his ultimate challenge? As disaster looms, Cato readies himself for the next strategic
move. Can he dare to hope that Macro, marked by battle and unflinching courage, has managed to
evade these bloodthirsty rebels?
In this pivotal military campaign, Cato knows that only one man he trusts stands beside him, and the
fate of the Empire in Britannia hangs in the balance.
