Infamia #4

Before Rome was an empire, it was a city and a people born from legend. The Roman kings began a legacy of triumph and conquest that would last for centuries. However, as they grew in power, the priests of the city realized the danger of their tyranny. Members of the secretive Cult of Angerona dedicated their lives to serve as the city's protectors. Men and women from the underbelly of Roman society were enlisted to be their agents. The best of them formed an elite team that could go where soldiers could not and citizens dared not. These Infamia were the very people that society had turned its back on: actors, gladiators, prostitutes, and gamblers. They would operate, unseen and unthanked, to fend off the forces which threatened Rome. The first Infamia predate the Republic. With each new threat, a team emerges from the shadows to do what the great and the good cannot. THIS ISSUE: "Doomed to Repeat It" -- Now the Infamia are operating in unfamiliar territory. They have been forced to step out of the shadows and out of Rome in a desperate bid to keep the looming civil war from the city. Felix has covertly aligned himself with Brutus and Cassius, now calling themselves the Republicans. He has convinced them that their strategy should be to control the Eastern provinces of Rome's territories. At the same time the Infamia have embarked on a plan to sabotage the campaign of Marc Antony's volatile ally Dolabella. He has been sent to oust the Republicans from a key trading city and force a larger confrontation that would benefit Marc Antony. The Infamia are playing a dangerous game trying to keep any one faction from succeeding without anyone finding out their true purpose.
