I first saw this in the mid 1960s and was impressed then as I still am. Great story which has Mark Forest righting wrongs in ancient Rome and falling for a young Christian girl. If you like lots of Gladiator fighting and clashing armies, this is the movie for you. The original title was MACISTE; GLADIATOR OF SPARTA which is a more fitting title for this story. However, they needed movies to fit into THE SON OF HERCULES series and this fit in well Enjoy it for what it is ...an action packed Gladiator movie with lots of action. Mark Forest fits the part well. The only thing I didn't like about it was that they always changed these movies to include a Religious theme even when it didn't make any sense to include it.
