aka: Revolt of the Slaves

Film Synopsis

In the fourth century AD, the Roman emperor Maximin persecutes Christians, whose beliefs are finding greater support in the army and amongst the patricians.  Sébastien, an officer in the emperor's personal guard, converts to the new religion and would rather die under torture than deny his faith.  The Christian slave Vibio rises up against the cruelty of his guards and converts the daughter of a Roman patrician to Christianity.
