When fragments of a stone map if ancient Rome mysteriously resurface, Jonathan Marcus, a young lawyer and a former classics scholar, reluctantly reunited with a former friend from his student days at the American Academy in Rome to search for clues to the location of the fabled Tabernacle Menorah, a priceless historical artifact taken from Jerusalem 2000 years ago. But as they search, so, too, does the mysterious Salah ad-Din, a radical bent on erasing all remnants of Jewish and Christian presence from the Temple Mount. What follows is a treasure hunt like no other, a race to control a historical perspective and determine who can define - or redefine - the past.
