The king ordered the construction of break walls to form a massive deep-sea harbour, along with an aqueduct, hippodrome and 20,person amphitheatre for watching the rush and carnage of chariot races. As such, it was also the home of the many Roman governors stationed there, including Pontius Pilate, who ruled during the time of the historical Jesus.

The coins were minted in the far-flung cities of Cairo, Egypt, and the Sicilian capital of Palermo, showing that currency was circulating through a united empire. In the meantime, Or begins a burgeoning romance with her neighbour and childhood friend, Ido.
