Season 2, Episode 1: Passover
Caesar has been assassinated and the news spread quickly throughout the city.
Marc Antony escapes his attackers, going directly to Atia's house. Antony
suggests a general amnesty to Caesar's killers in order to keep the peace.
He also urges them to leave the city for their own safety. Caesar's last
will and testament is read and Octavian is named as his sole heir. Vorenus
is grieving at the death of Niobe but Pullo comes to his aid.


Season 2, Episode 2: Son of Hades
Gangs are now fighting for control of the streets.
With the news that his children are dead however,
Vorenus is in a deep depression and has taken to his bed.
Pullo seeks Marc Antony's assistance and Vorenus decides to
take control of the gangs, describing himself as the son of Hades.
Octavian meanwhile has yet to receive his inheritance and Marc Antony
seems to be in no hurry to pursue it on his behalf. Octavian makes a
firm decision to enter public life and decides to borrow the money to
pay Caesar's legacies but, following a dispute with his mother
Atia and Marc Antony, he leaves Rome.


Season 2, Episode 3: These Being the Words of Marcus Tullius Cicero
After appointing himself a "Son of Hades," Lucius Vorenus takes over
the Aventine in place of the late Erasmus Fulman. Still consumed by
his dark rage, he explodes when he considers a difference of opinion
with Pullo to be a challenge to his authority, and they have a violent
falling-out. In their chess game of venomous revenge, Servilia makes her
next deadly move on Atia, using a hired assassin. Timon grows ever more
suspicious of his brother's activities in the city. An angry, dejected
Pullo tries to leave Rome, but returns to make peace with Lucius, only to
learn some shocking news regarding Lucius' family. Far from Rome, Brutus
finds it rough going trying to raise an army to go against Mark Antony.
And in Rome itself, Antony is angling for the governorship of Gaul,
which he will not gain without the support of the Senate or Cicero's
coerced compliance. The tide turns, but in an unexpected way for Antony,
when Cicero finally gives him his answer.


Season 2, Episode 4: Testudo et Lepus (The Tortoise and the Hare)
Servilia's plan to assassinate Atia backfires, with horrific circumstances.
But the brutal punishment Atia desires against her mortal enemy is one too
many atrocities for Timon, who finally snaps, ending their contentious relationship.
With help from Octavian, Pullo seeks out Vorenus on the bloody battlefield where
Octavian's armies have all but wiped out Mark Antony's legions. Once he finds Lucius,
Titus sets off with his friend to recover Vorenus' family, sold into slavery. Charged
with hand-delivering a message to Octavia, a love-struck Agrippa jumps at the chance
to see her again. Cicero balks at the news that Octavian is returning with his legions to Rome.
Working together again as friends and 'brothers', Titus and Lucius accomplish their urgent mission.


Season 2, Episode 5: Heroes of the Republic
Vorenus and Pullo return to Rome with Vorenus' family, but some of
the "changes" that Pullo had warned him about regarding the children
begin to manifest themselves, unnoticed by his friend, who is too blissfully
happy to return to the role of 'father'. Octavian finally returns and manages
to negotiate the Senate Consul's seat from a scheming Cicero, but in spite of
his promise to 'faithfully follow' the older man's counsel, Octavian proves
that he certainly has a mind of his own, much to Cicero's consternation. Brutus
and Cassius receive news that might prove useful in staging a triumphant
return to Rome, as well as the ultimate defeat of both Mark Antony and
Octavian's forces. Meanwhile, Atia has a reunion with her son that is
strained to say the least, but there is a tentative reconciliation between them.
And another, much less stressful reunion between two lovers will bring about an
unforseen alliance between two formerly mortal enemies.
