Gladiator Begins is a sequel to 2005's Colosseum: The Road to Freedom, tracing the life of a Roman gladiator from his first few bouts as a lowly slave to his final days of glory in the Roman Colosseum.

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was the last of the "Five Good Emperors". He was gifted with a brilliant mind, and his influence brought peace, both at home and abroad. However, as Marcus entered his final years, the question of succession was raised, and tempers flared.

A secret feud flared up between the aristocrats and soldiers who supported Commodus, Marcus's son, and those who supported General Cassius. The feud grew more desperate, and less secret, day by day. As Rome's days of peace began to draw to a close, a new gladiator arrived at the Coliseum....
