Driven by a strong ambition to conquer the world, Emperor Fabius has established a decree to collect an enormous amount of money in every full moon day from nobles and senators to fund the Roman army. If refused, the person will face a death penalty and confiscation of all of his wealth. As a result, many nobles and Roman senators paid their lives. Tiagnos managed to unite some nobles to end Fabius’s arrogance and tyranny. When the emperor returned Rome from a recent successful conquest in Egypt, Tiagnos took a chance to end his life, but his attempt failed. Later, the emperor ordered to kill all of those who tried to assassinate him. Solonius was the first to be discovered and declared a traitor to the empire. His house was burned to the ground.
