Rome, AD 41. Pavo’s rise brings him to a final contest in which his reputation, freedom and family honour are at stake. Claudius’s advisers and their rivals use the games to settle political scores, while Macro works to uncover the last threat before the combat begins. The sequence concludes by showing how even the arena’s greatest champion remains dependent on imperial favour and the changing appetite of the crowd.
