It's an adventure film with all the ingredients as sword-play , action , brawls , comedy , amusement , the typical confrontation between good guys against bad guys and resulting to be pretty entertaining . Brawls and fights both inside and outside the circus come swiftly paced and full of bounds , leaps , hits , punches , knock-outs and in Terence Hill/Spencer style . The film displays some impressive scenes about fights on arena with the magnificent gladiators masked in a wolf-head husk . The picture allows for periods of humor , -as the comic relief is frequently provided by the likable midget- and calm in which to establish characters punctuated by viscerally exciting bursts of action . It stars Roger Browne as the good-manners Tribune Marcus Aulus who has enlightened attitudes and out of favor in Rome because of his alleged sympathy for Christians , as well as Gordon Mitchell , both of them bare their chests . Roger was a likable but mediocre actor who starred some Euro-spy movies and Peplum such as : ¨Three Swords for Rome¨ , ¨The ten gladiators¨ , ¨Pontius Pilatos¨ , ¨Barrabás¨ , ¨Hercules and the Princess of Troy¨ and ¨Mars God of War¨ . And the bouncing Gordon Mitchell considered to be one of the best Peplum actors along with Steve Reeves and Gordon Scott . He-man Gordon was a hunk "beefcake" who made great number of roman epic films also called ¨Musclemen movies¨ . He was one of a number of bodybuilder and physique model types who followed muscleman Steve Reeves out to Italy in the early 60s and won campy notice playing Herculean characters in those campy Italian sand-and-spear epics . The steel-blue-eyes Mitchell proved a phenomenal hit and revived the "muscleman" genre , the non-Italian-speaking Mitchell headed off to Europe and began appearing in the same type of badly dubbed sandal-and-spear epics . He eventually became part of the "Muscle Beach" crowd and flexed his way into the entertainment field as part of Mae West's musclebound revues, where he toured everywhere from Las Vegas to the Latin Quarter with other "abs"normal actor wannabes such as Mickey Hargitay , Brad Harris and Reg Lewis . Ursus, Maciste , Goliath , Samson , Hércules , Atlas , Rocha ... those Italian Muscle man producers must have had a hard time figuring out what to call the musclebound actors who played all these legendary muscleman heroes . Being other second-class Muscle men players the followings : Dan Vadis , Rock Stevens , Samson Burke , Reg Park , Ed Fury , Richard Harrison , Kirk Morris , Alan Steel or Sergio Ciani and subsequently Lou Ferrigno . Nobody, nevertheless , topped Steve Reeves in popularity , though Gordon Scott , Mark Forest and Gordon Mitchell made him an important competence . Born-American Gordon Mitchell was the second American actor bodybuilder , after Steve Reeves , to be recruited by Italian producers to star in sword and sandal films . As Gordon played a lot of Peplum , and adventure movies , such as : ¨Il Gigant Di Metrópolis¨ , ¨Atlas in the land of cyclops¨ , ¨Fury of Achilles¨ , ¨Titan versus Vulcanus¨, ¨Hercules vs. the Sea Monster¨ , ¨The conqueror of Corinto¨ , ¨Sinbad Against the 7 Saracens¨ , among others . Costars other actors usually seen in Peplum and Spaghetti Western as the regular sword-master : Alfio Caltabiano , Carlo Tamberlani , Germano Longo , Mario Novelli , Nello Pazzafini ,and Giacomo Rossi Stuart as Centurion Gaius , a ruthless and corrupt Roman officer who resents when he is substituted .

Including evocative and atmospheric musical score by Francesco De Massi . Besides , a colorful and shining cinematography by Mancori .
