The story of reaHife gladiator Verus is told in this fascinating dramatised documentary. Competing in the opening games of Rome's Colosseum in AD 80, the former quarry slave's epic fight went down as one of the most memorable and surprising in the event's history. Dramatic reconstructions and computer-generated images give a taste of the reality of gladiatorial combat, and the film also tells the extraordinary story of the Colosseum itself.
