Aulus Paulinus is a Roman Governor who is exiled to govern the tiny village of Chelmsford in Britain. Badvoc & his tribe offer more resistance than he imagined.
Aulus decides to build a road linking Chelmsford to London, but when the plans reveal it will demolish holy Romford he faces opposition from all sides.
Fed up of the boredom of living in Chelmsford, Aulus decides to liven things up with a festival - like Saturnalia. Picking the biggest idiot in the village to become king for a day seems like an easy choice, but is it a wise choice?
