The king of 30 tribes in pre roman times, around 800 b.c. fails to deliver, to do his hieratic job since the rain stopped and the people suffer from the drought. Priest ask the gods and the reading is that he must be exiled. The punishment means he also must be blinded by his two sons. The sons deliver the punishment but pushed by the kings brother and their uncle. Soon, the uncle turns from his kind and tries to murder them both. Impaled by a bronze sword, obe of the brothers dies on spot but the other brother runs and escapes them by hidding in the deep forests that coverd much of Europe at the time.
The dead brother had a love affair with a vestal, a young priestes, unknown to the tribe. She griefs and puts out the eternal fire and is sentenced to die burried alive in a cave from were she will emerge almost maddened.
In the forest, the living brother is captured and joins a group of men living there for half a year because of a initiation ritual.
This must have been produced with serious historical research.
Its a must see.
Low rating will do another injustice to another tv show that is verry good, verry enterteining.
