BATTLES, POWER STRUGGLES, AND BETRAYALS DURING A CENTURY THAT WAS CRUCIAL TO HISTORY. 363 AD. After the battle of Ctesiphon, Marco Probo decided to settle in Dacia, a territory occupied by the Goths north of the Danube border. Once there, due to his career as a soldier and philosopher, he became the first tutor of Alaric, who was born during an eclipse, an event that sparked the myth of him being the one to unite the Goth's nation and form the largest empire ever known. However, Alaric will soon be separated from his family when Emperor Valens imposes humiliating conditions on the Goths after a bloody war, who were desperately asking for refuge from the Huns. That is why, along with the sons of fifty other Goth leaders, Alaric is taken hostage by the Empire and continues his life in exile in Alexandria, Athens, and Constantinople, cities where he will be educated among philosophers. These formative years will mark his love for Rome, but they will also make him the most feared amongst his enemies.
