Synopsis
The Egyptian princess Semiramis has seized control of Assyria, though she pretends to be a man. Tamiri, the future regent of Bactria, a region obliged to pay tribute to Assyria, is to choose her future husband from among three suitors in Babylon. But when Tamiri chooses Scitalce, a prince from India whom Semiramis recognises as her former lover, Semiramis tries to prevent the marriage. This triggers a series of intrigues and deception in the course of which Sibari, whom Semiramis believed to be her confidante, is exposed as a villain.
