Rome, 59 BC. The young gladiator Mark again became a free man. And now he is determined to find and free his mother, sold into slavery several years ago. His former owner, an influential Roman Caesar, is ready to help Mark. But first, he must fulfill the order of the Roman Senate – to defeat the detachments of the rebellious slaves who attack the villas of noble Roman citizens. And since there are a lot of gladiators among the rebels, Caesar counts on the help of Mark, who studied at the school of gladiators. The boy learns that the leader of the rebels is the name of Brix, and he is covered by fear, because Brix knows that in fact, Mark is not at all the son of the Roman centurion. If this secret is disclosed, the brand threatens inevitable death …
