A squadron of Roman soldiers, garrisoned on the banks of the Nile, sets out into the heart of Africa in search of a mysterious civilization. After a grueling voyage, which takes them up the Nile and across central Africa, the legionnaires discover a veritable empire, complete with highly-developed arts, science, and technology — and unquestionably as powerful as the Roman Empire itself. 

A series in the great classical adventure style spread over four volumes. By the author of “Le Complexe du chimpanzé” (“The Chimpanzee Complex”), and the Argentinian artist whose other work includes Marvel’s “Wolverine” and DC/Vertigo’s “Loveless.”
