Yemos and Enitos are the successors to the throne of Alba. The slave Wiros is in the woods for an initiation rite while the vestal Ilia keeps a great secret.

Yemos, in the woods among the Luperci, meets the slave Wiros for the first time. Meanwhile, Ilia forever changes her fate as Ertas, king of Gabi, discovers Amulius' lies.

Ilia goes to the priest of Mars. Meanwhile, Wiros lies to his companions but fears of being discovered and asks for the help of Yemos, the only one who can save him.

Yemos and Wiros proceed into the woods to reach the city of Gabi. Numitor and Silvia are greeted by Ertas. Meanwhile, Ilia continues her hard training.

Wiros and Yemos in the cave of the Ruminales meet the She-wolf. Ilia leaves for Gabi alongside her father Amulius. Numitor and Silvia leave the city.

Wiros and Yemos fight side by side for the first time with the mistress of Wolves. Spurius sets fire to the forest to find them. Meanwhile, Amulius returns to Alba.

A group of Ruminales, including Yemos and the She-wolf, fall into Spurius's trap. Meanwhile, Wiros meets Silvia and Numitor in the lands of the Greek potter.

Wiros with a stratagem enters the city of Gabi garrisoned by Ilia, who is forced to flee. Yemos, captured by Spurius, is led towards Alba.

Yemos manages to break free and flees to Gabi, where he finally finds Wiros. Amulius and Ilia, left alone, prepare for the last decisive battle.

Yemos and Wiros arrive at the gates of Alba. Ilia finally learns the truth about Enitos and confronts her father. Meanwhile, a serious dilemma afflicts Yemos.

The king of the Sabines Tito Tazio invites Yemos and Wiros to Cures. However, it is an ambush that ends with the kidnapping of the Sabine priestesses.

Wiros seeks support from the kings of neighbouring areas, while Silvia begs the Sabines not to attack Yemos.

Tito advances. The Ruminales attack a Sabine garrison and as all seems lost, a contingent led by Wiros, charges. Yemos is wounded and the priestess Ersilia proposes to take him to the Tusci.

Yemos is dying and Ersilia takes Wiros to the village where she grew up to be treated; Titos is furious with Servios and the others who have retreated into the woods.

In Rome, the tensions caused by the lack of food leads to a clash; Titus reacts unexpectedly to the loyalty of the Latin kings.

When Titos steps in, the tides change with the Romans, who must retreat; Yemos decides to leave the sceptre to Wiros.

Wiros encourages his team to have hope for victory. On his wedding day with Ersilia, he faces a difficult truth about his brother.

Wiros surrenders to the Sabines and cedes the city of Rome; a woman leaves a cloak on the shoulders of the chained ex-king which leaves Tito distraught.
