An army commanded by the praetor Galba is responsible for protecting the new territory.

Different towns and villages have suffered the harassment and violence of the Roman soldiers. A humble and brave shepherd, called Viriato, lives in the village of Caura, in the region of Lusitania. Galba tells the Hispanics that they must hand in their weapons as the only way to achieve the peace for the land and its inhabitants. The villagers of Caura accept the proposition. They meet Galba and his legionnaires, but he orders to kill the locals after they have surrendered their weapons. Viriato survives and begins a terrible revenge against the Romans.
