Fall of the Roman Empire

- This item is used Description Circa year 180 A.D. Emperor Marcus Aurelius (Guinness) lies dead at the age of only 58. He himself desires his foster son Livius (Boyd) as his successor instead of his mortal son Commodus (Plummer), whom he does not trust sufficiently. Unfortunately, the emperor dies before the succession is officially changed, so Commodus still becomes emperor. Unfortunately, he spends more time continuing the power struggle with Livius than ensuring the realm's continued existence, and thus history's greatest single empire suddenly veers onto a very dangerous course...
