Plot
The newly founded republic of Rome is at war with king Porcenna, king of Etrusca, and his allies led by the barbarian general, Drusco. After fierce fighting Drusco offers a truce but demands that the Romans offer hostages as a sign of good faith, including Clelia, the leader of a group of woman warriors. Soon the peace treaty is broken and the Roman army, under the command of Horatio Cocles (or "Cyclops", because he had lost an eye fighting when he was younger) prepare to make their last stand at the Sublicus Bridge over the River Tiber.
