Soon, the citizen mob reaches the palace at Antioch prepared to kill Nero for his incendiary act. Petronian guards, following Nero's orders, block the exits out of the city, but Vinicius fights the commanding officer and orders the troops to break ranks, thus freeing thousands of people from imminent death. Opening a sewer grate, Vinicius leads a crowd to the city's edge, where he spots Lygia. Fearing for Lygia's life, Vinicius steals a chariot and races to Rome, where buildings are tumbling down and fires spill out over thousands of citizens. When Petronius asks what will become of the existing city, Nero announces that he has set fire to Rome. That afternoon, Nero, surrounded by his council, announces that he killed his mother and past wife to experience a great sacrifice and thereby inspire his "new creative vision." He then unveils a sprawling architectural model of a city called "Neropolis," which will replace Rome. When she chooses Christ, Vinicius leaves for Antioch, where Poppaea, having heard about his failure with Lygia, tries to entice him into an affair. Driven by jealousy, Vinicius demands that Lygia choose between her faith and him. Vinicius asks her to marry him and offers to fill their home with grand sculptures celebrating her god, but Lygia says she has no need of expensive gestures because she carries the image of Christ in her heart. He then carries Vinicius to a hideout, where Lygia tends to his wounds. After the meeting, Vinicius and his guard Croton follow Lygia, but Ursus kills Croton and knocks out Vinicius to protect Lygia. Soon after, Jesus appeared before the apostles, forgave them for their sins and bade them to follow the Ten Commandments and abstain from violence. Peter continues with the story of how he and eleven other apostles followed Jesus, who was crucified at Calvary. During the ceremony, Peter describes his first meeting with Jesus at Galilee, where the savior miraculously filled their empty fishing nets with catch. Petronius sends his friend to Chilo, a soothsayer, who leads Vinicius to a Christian rite held in a cave that evening.

Petronius explains that Lygia, like Paul, is a Christian, members of a secret sect that worships Christ, an opponent of the state who, although crucified, is still of political concern to both Nero and the Senate. The next day, when Vinicius seeks Petronius' help in locating Lygia, Petronius reveals that Paul is a frequent visitor at Plautius' home. Later, while Lygia is being escorted to Vinicius' quarters, her guard, the giant Ursus, attacks the escorts, allowing Lygia to escape. After Nero arrogantly sings amateurish lyrics while accompanying himself on the lyre, Petronius suggests Nero must improve his verses to reflect his "true genius." Nero then exclaims that he might burn the city just to inspire him to create a great epic. While Vinicius tries to interest the sullen Lygia in the palace festivities that night, the conniving Poppaea jealously spies on them. Nero orders Lygia taken and given to Vinicius. During the military parade the following day, Petronius suggests to Nero that he buy Vinicius a slave as a sign of gratitude. After he leaves, Lygia prays for Vinicius' conversion to Christianity.

Later that night, after Vinicius invites Lygia to a feast celebrating the legions' triumph, she reveals she is attracted to Vinicius, but admits his tales of conquest disturb her and refuses him again. Paul then tells the family that the apostle Peter, who spoke with their savior Jesus Christ before his death, will arrive in Rome shortly. Later, when family friend Paul philosophizes about peace, Vinicius insists that Lygia is too lovely to worry about such trivial teachings and leaves. Plautius and his wife Pomponia adopted Lygia in attempt to make amends for her suffering. Plautius explains that Lygia was once a princess who was made a slave during his military campaign against her people. Over dinner, when Vinicius eagerly describes the defeat of Rome's enemies, Lygia expresses her disgust with the brutalities of war. While visiting the home of retired General Plautius, Vinicius flirts with a woman he assumes is a household slave, but soon discovers that she is Plautius' daughter Lygia, who rebuffs his crass advances. Nero's most trusted advisor Petronius, who is also Vinicius' uncle, informs his nephew that Nero has recently murdered his wife and mother and married a slave named Poppaea, and that the disgruntled Roman Senate is making plans to replace Nero with General Galba of Tuscany. commanding officer Marcus Vinicius returns to Rome after three years abroad waging battle for emperor Nero, a tyrant who believes he is a gifted divinity.
