Anatolia, AD 260. The city of Edessa, a Roman outpost, is on its last legs after the Persian siege by the troops of Shapur I. Roman Emperor Publius Licinius Valerianus agrees to meet his adversary to negotiate peace. But no negotiations are initiated, no peace sanctioned. The meeting is a trap and Valerian ends up in enemy hands, along with the commander of his personal guard, Marcus Metellus Aquila, and ten of his most valiant and trusted men. Their destiny is sealed: they will rot away in a mine, forced into slavery in a hell from which no man has ever escaped.
