A Warrior Slave… Chosen by the Gods… To restore the glory of an Empire. In the Year 106 AD the Roman Empire is in terrible decline.

Poorly fought wars, famine, and plague are rife in all corners of the Empire, whilst the Emperor and his elite enjoy every excess and vice that the emptying coffers can afford. As herald to this age of degeneration, Arruntius has destroyed large portions of the city of Rome to create the battleground for the bloodiest gladiator event ever staged…
