The Bloodline

The voyage has ended, but the struggle to build a future has only begun.On the shores of Italy, Aeneas must transform a band of weary exiles into a new people. Ancient alliances are forged, old rivalries ignite, and the promise of a new homeland comes at the cost of war. From the union of Trojan refugees and the peoples of Latium emerges a bloodline that will one day claim the world.Drawing from Virgil's Aeneid, Livy, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, and later Roman tradition, this episode follows the legendary foundations of the Latin race and the lineage that leads inexorably toward the birth of Rome.
