THE ROMAN EPIC THE STORY OF SPARTACUS Taken into slavery as a child, his parents slaughtered by the Romans, Spartacus was destined to become one of the most famous heroes of all time. He was trained to fight in the arena, spending many years perfecting his skills with the sword, shield and spear. Time could not tame him, Spartacus never forgot the freedom of his past, or the cruel ways of the Roman Empire. When his time came to be called to the arena, Spartacus knew this was his chance for revenge. He was to fight the champions of the Arena, in the presence of the evil Roman Emperor, Crassus. If he could beat these experienced gladiators, he might be able to escape. Spartacus knew, from the other slaves, that his plan was filled with danger, he would have to flee through the streets of Capua and beyond, killing anyone (or anything) that stood in his path. This is your chance to play the part of Spartacus The Sword Slayer in this epic tale of death and honour. You may fight against the computer, or practice your sword fighting skills against a friend.
