Door de geweldige verhalen over Griekse helden als Hercules en Odysseus is Nurdius ervan overtuigd dat er in Griekenland veel meer te beleven is dan in Rome. Eenmaal daar aangekomen valt het toch een beetje tegen; waar zijn al die goden, monstervogels en driekoppige honden nou?

Ik ben Nurdius Maximus en als Caesar zich er niet steeds mee bemoeide, zou ik later zeker bekendstaan als een grote held uit de Romeinse geschiedenis. Hij wil namelijk dat ik opschrijf hoe hij de Gallische stammen onder de duim krijgt, maar dan wel op zijn manier.

Eigenlijk is Caesar gewoon jaloers op het lange haar en de grote snor van hun leider, Vercingetorix. Maar inm...

Ik ben Nurdius Maximus, en op een dag zal ik vast en zeker de grootste held uit de Romeinse geschiedenis zijn. Maar op dit moment ben ik ontvoerd door barbaren uit Belgica.

Of ik Rome ooit terug zal zien, hangt er dus van af of pa zin heeft om zijn portemonnee te trekken… En geld uitgeven is zo ongeveer zijn minst favoriete bezigheid. Misschien moet ik zelf proberen te ontsnappen. Maar dat...
