Cutting a bloody swathe through the Italian peninsula, and overpowering every attempt at resistance the Romans try to come up with, the Celts are already only a few days away from the Eternal City. The Romans' most capable commander, Marcus Furius Camillus (Massimo Serato), is falsely accused of corruption by [[LesCollaborateurs political rivals]], and goes into voluntary exile in Ardea, choosing to live as a farmer. As the Roman Senate decides to send an embassy to Brennus, the invaders attack Clusium, a town close to Rome, and capture many citizens, among which [[DamselInDistress Nissia]] (Ursula Davis), a priestess of Minerva and bethroted to the Roman commander [[TheHero Quintus Fabius]] (Tony Kendall). In an attempt to spare her citizen from the slaughter, Nissia accepts to marry Brennus, much to Quintus' dismay...

As a tyrannical warlord who [[ItsAllAboutMe cares about nothing but himself]], he can't understand why anyone would think differently from him, and openly mocks Nissia for caring about others. Indeed, he thinks that the natural state of humanity is total self-interested chaos, and that trying to impose any sort of laws and rules on others is foolish and innatural.
