Plot
Clavius, a Roman Tribune of Legio X Fretensis, suppresses an insurrection of zealots led by Barabbas, then supervises the crucifixion of Yeshua and orders his men to guard the dead body. The body disappears, and the soldiers claim Yeshua's followers stole it to make it appear that he rose from the dead. Pontius Pilate orders Clavius to find the body, to quell an imminent uprising in Jerusalem before the Emperor arrives. Clavius and his aide Lucius question people who claim to have seen Yeshua after the resurrection.
