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.
Unless you fight, you don't have a 
reason to live. You're worthless.
!لن تملك دافعاً للعيش ولا قيمة دون قتال
Wer nicht kämpfen will,
ist des Lebens nicht wert!
Si no peleas,
no tienes razón para vivir.
Si no peleas,
no tienes razón para vivir.
Ces chiens
ne sont bons qu’à se battre !
Sei inutile, non hai ragione di vivere,
 se non combatti!
A não ser que lute,
não terá motivo para viver.
Если не бьёшься, тебе незачем жить!
