As Nero was being crowned emperor of the Roman Empire at the tender age of 17, Cestvs the slave was fighting in a boxing match in order to become a fighting slave. However, the moment he defeats his friend from the training school, countless arrows strike his friend in the back. Defeat means death... Cestvs is terrified to learn the cruel fate of fighting slaves. He is promised his freedom if he wins one hundred matches, but the path to freedom is long. A competition between training schools sponsored by the emperor is to be held in Rome, and Cestvs steps onto the big stage.
But we'll be killed if we lose a single one.
لكنّنا سنُقتل إذا خسرنا ولو نزالاً واحداً
Wir werden getötet,
wenn wir nur einen Kampf verlieren!
Pero moriremos
en cuanto perdamos uno solo.
Pero moriremos
en cuanto perdamos uno solo.
Alors qu’une défaite
est synonyme de mort…
Ma perderne anche uno solo... significa morire!
Mas seremos mortos
se perdermos uma só...
Но нас убьют за первый же проигрыш.
