Morituri — Barry Sadler

SPAWNED IN THE DEPTHS OF THE CIRCUS MAXEMUS...

The Gladiators found the starving slave-boy suckling a she-goat. Right then, they named him Lucanus -- Little Wolf -- and predicted that through all the wrenching bloodshed that was Rome...

HE WOULD SURVIVE

MORITURI is the legend of Lucanus' lifelong adventure in the arenas and on the battlefields of a bloodthirsty, decadent Empire...

His love for Britta, the heathen maid with whom he is shipwrecked in the wilds of Gaul...

His fatal friendship with Claudius -- the stammering "fool" who would one day be Emperor.
