The BeastmasterS1 E3As the Roman Empire continues to expand, so does the diversity of exotic beasts brought back to entertain the Colosseum crowds; over 1 million animals are slaughtered in the arena by trained beast masters, none more famous than Carpophorus.
The GladiatrixS1 E4The mighty Emperor Trajan throws his great games of A.D. 107, and the crowd is treated to a rare spectacle: female gladiators.
The MartyrS1 E5The public execution of criminals is a staple, but during Trajan's 123 days of games in A.D. 107, one of these victims is no ordinary prisoner; Bishop Ignatius of Antioch is part of a growing underground religion, threatening Roman traditions.
The ScientistS1 E6Galen of Pergamon makes a name for himself as a physician for gladiators in the arena; a devastating plague sweeps through the city, and Galen catches the attention of Emperor Marcus Aurelius.
CommodusS1 E7All of Rome's emperors have put great value on spectacles and games, but only one steps out of the Imperial Box and onto the sands of the arena; a far cry from his father, the great Emperor Marcus Aurelius, Commodus is quick to make enemies.
The PaganS1 E8By the 4th Century AD, a divided Roman Empire is rocked by devastating earthquakes, fires, barbarian invasions and deep religious divides. As Rome declines, the Colosseum, which once stood as a proud symbol of the Empire's glory, lies empty. To restore Rome, one man, a devout worshipper of the Rome's old Gods, turns to the arena. Can staging elaborate and expensive games there reverse Rome's decline?
