In 37 BC, a young Illyrian named Volsus joins a Roman unit whose encounters with local, supposedly subjugated Illyrian tribes turn its seemingly simple task of collecting taxes into a perilous journey full of unexpected twists. Through the eyes of the youngster, regarded by the Romans as a primitive barbarian, we see an archaic, emotional world of quaint and brutal laws and traditions, not all that different from our own.
