Around 70 B.C., a tradeship heading for Rome foundered off the coast of Antikythera.
On board was the most sophisticated device known to the classical world:
The Antikythera Mechanism - a set of gears that might foretell the ways of the stars.
In the sea, the Antikythera Mechanism escaped the purposeful destruction that hit its siblings a hundred years later.
Save for one: The OPUS GEMINI, that has been ruined only twenty years ago.
Princess Iulia Balbilla of Commagene is still striving to retrieve it, so that she may restore her power over hearts and minds of the masters of Roma.
But one of her agents, Pernica the Swift, has finally learnt about the unhappy fate of the OPUS GEMINI.
The sole surviving sibling of the Antikythera Mechanism is now in the hands of Catvalda, Supreme Father of Mount Dounobriga. Currently he is inviting all the barbary lands to unite under his emerging power.
At his side is Iulius Adrianus, out of reach beyond the Limes. To find him, Pernica has to return into her past and to face her most dreaded enemies right where they are strongest. While Princess Balbilla has already decided to condemn her to death, considering her wavering treason.
Worse, Adrianus has received evidence that the evil Headhunters are active even on Mount Dounobriga!
The Dominion Device may bring a new power to Germania – and doom over the Roman Empire.
