After returning Julius Caesar to 49 BC, Nate Heywood used Rise of Rome to see if history was back on track. The image of Caesar reigning over the Senate was replaced by the image of Caesar being assassinated. Shocked, Julius Caesar stole the book and prepared to confront Brutus and Cassius, the two who led the conspiracy against Caesar.
