GLADIATORS OF ROME follows Timo, Ciccius, Mauritius and Lucilla as they come of age and discover their true destiny. As a child, Timo is saved from the volcanic destruction of Pompeii, adopted by the Roman General Chirone and raised in the most famous Gladiators’ Academy in Rome. But Timo isn't exactly gladiator material. Bored by the discipline and punishing exercises, he'd rather goof off with his friends Ciccius and Mauritius. Everything changes when Timo meets the lovely Lucilla who has returned to Rome from school in Greece. Now he must transform himself into the greatest gladiator of all time to win Lucilla’s heart. Desperate for an advantage, he turns to his secret weapon, Diana - legendary “Goddess of the Hunt” and the finest gladiator trainer in the world.
