A hero of countless battles, Cato wants his loyal comrade Centurion Macro by his side. But the Governor leaves Macro behind, in charge of the veteran reserves in Camulodunum. Suetonius dismisses concerns that the poorly fortified colony will be vulnerable to attack when only a skeleton force remains. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith the military distracted, slow-burning anger amongst the tribespeople bursts into flames.
