Comment
64 ap. J.C. Lucius est le gladiateur le plus fort et le plus adulé de Pompéi. Son image plait à Julius, riche propriétaire terrien désireux d'être élu tribun de la plèbe. L'arrangement est conclu : Lucius le soutient dans sa candidature et prendra la fille de Julius comme épouse. Mais l'ultime combat de Lucius ne se déroule pas comme prévu : opposé à un colosse, Lucius perd son bras et sa dignité.
AD 64 JC Lucius is the strongest and most revered gladiator in Pompeii. His image appealed to Julius, a wealthy landowner who wanted to be elected tribune of the plebs. The arrangement is made: Lucius supports him in his candidacy and takes Julius' daughter as his wife. But Lucius' final battle does not go as planned: opposed to a colossus, Lucius loses his arm and his dignity.
