Description:
Crusader JournalWhen Caesar stood upon the banks of the Rubicon looking south to Rome he
hesitated. Before him stood the vast, complex mechanism of the past,
glowing with a host of intricately woven stratagems. With him, he had but one
legion, weary from 8 years of brutal war with the Gauls. But when called to
surrender himself to the Senate and certain exile he did not hesitate. He
called his legionaries to cross into Italy, to cross the Rubicon. And as he did
so he said only this: Alea iacta est! The Die is Cast!
