Betrayed and enslaved, a Roman war god returns to power through the arena.

He awakens as a slave with no divinity and is forced into deadly gladiatorial combat. During a match against a hellhound, his celestial power returns. He destroys the beast, unmasks the fake God of War, kills the traitors, and ends the tyrant's rule. A noblewoman who saved him becomes his wife as he reclaims his former glory.
