AD29

“AD 29” revolves around a man as he sets out to Judea to perform an important task for Rome.
Publius wins against Cassius in a dice game. Without money to pay, Cassius agrees to make Publius his new partner in his haberdashery business, which will help Publius continue the trading business of his deceased father. Aside from this new interest in business, Publius also writes plays. All of his activities are criticized by his adoptive father Lucius.
An unexpected opportunity comes to Publius when Roman Emperor Tiberius offers him a chance to travel to Judea to encourage people to raise their taxes. In preparation for this journey, Publius goes to Massilia to know more about the current situation in Judea. He meets Moshe and learns from him that the Sanhedrin control everything in Judea: business, politics, and religion. Taking into account everything that he has learned, Publius presents a plan to the Emperor on how to achieve their goal.
