(1963) Carl Mohner, Loredana Nusciak, Ida Galli, Andrea Aureli, directed by Antonio Margheriti. It is the days after the death of Constantine. The empire has split into East and West. Bigotry against Christians has run rampant again. Mohner plays a Roman tribune, also a Christian, who flees because of his faith. Can he and other loyal Romans end the bigotry and prevent barbarians from sacking Rome? Watch for the wonderfully choreographed gladiator battle between Mohner and three other brutes. Lots of pitched battle scenes. This is a high quality, big budget, lavishly-made epic. Color, widescreen, from 35mm. DVD item #SS168D, VHS item #SS168
