Take on the role of a gladiator as you search the city for your former sparring partner and Rome's greatest fighter, who has gone missing!  

In this game you will explore the different types of ancient Roman entertainments and where you can still see traces of the once magnificent buildings, above and below ground.  

Visit some of the most famous sites in the historic centre of Rome as well as its lesser known spots, all the time learning about the ancient city, the Roman world and its gladiators!
