Ursus the Gladiator

“Ursus the Gladiator” is a Roman tale focused at the end of II century, during the Principate of Commodus. Cornelius Agripa is a Roman nobleman who lost all his fortune and privileges by a ter-rible mistake. Only the faith of his bride will help him of the absolutely disaster: “For my experience has been, I believe, unique. Since the establishment of the Principate in our Re-public many men, even an uncountable horde of men, have incurred Imperial displeasure. Of these not a few, after banishment from Italy or relegation to guarded islands or to some distant frontier outpost, have survived the Prince who exiled them and have, by the favor of his successors, been permitted to return to Rome and to the enjoyment of their property.”
