Caesar weighs Pompey's counteroffer against Antony's recommendation to chase down... More Pompey's vulnerable army. Vorenus is forced to reconsider his career choices after a series of business setbacks leave him with little income to support his family. A jealous Atia concocts a clever scheme to separate Caesar from Servilia. Pullo is recruited to tutor Octavian in the art of soldiering, but ends up learning a lesson or two from the boy.

Atia urges Octavian to take another step toward manhood. Vorenus and Niobe try to bring passion back to their marriage.

Pompey attacks an outnumbered Caesar. Vorenus and Pullo are stranded... More at sea. Atia continues to seek out Servilla's friendship in order to ensure her protection, while Octavia and Servilla's bond grows.

Having pursued Pompey into Egypt, Caesar arrives in Alexandria and... More meets the boy king Ptolemy XIII, who offers the general a surprise gift.

Unanimously proclaimed Dictator by the Senate, Caesar pronounces the war... More over, and prepares for five days of feasting and games honoring his "triumph."
