So here’s the deal: Get bloody and feared by lions inside the arena and you’ll get famous, even infamous, as payoff! That’s the spirit of gladiators in Rome a long, long time ago. There were blood feuds, clashing battles, merciless fights, and a combat of a lifetime, that’s how warriors define victory, where winning means butchering your opponent and putting his battered head on a platter.

This is the time that the youthful Batiatus longs to come, for the House of Batiatus will rise from the ruins like the phoenix again, chivalrous in the glow of its mighty champion of champions Gannicus whose skill in handling a sword is exceptional, matched only by his love for wine and women. Fueled by the strong desire to own the ludus and take control of it and overthrow his father, the young Batiatus will do anything, even if it will cost other people’s lives just to ensure that his gladiator are of the highest quality and demand.
