Can Christianity save Rome?

It is a chaotic time with the Roman Republic being overwhelmed by an insidious Empire and Caesars being proclaimed Gods when a visionary ex-Senator embarks on a lifelong path to salvation. While envisioning a better future, Proculus forms a plan, Propositum, to merge Judaism with Rome in order to create a more sustainable and compassionate government.

From just before Saul's vision to the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 72 AD, this epic story delivers an intriguing and illuminating

view of the founding of Christianity.
