Storyline
The film begins shortly before the coronation of Romulus Augustulus as Emperor in AD 475. Having travelled through much of the known world in search of Caesar’s sword, Ambrosinus has then become the tutor to the young Romulus. A Druid and part of a secret brotherhood protecting the sword, he at times gives the impression he is a magician, but his magic is usually revealed to be simple trickery.

“Turning one's novel into a movie script is rather like making a series of sketches for a painting that has long ago been finished and framed.”
