Film Synopsis Pompeii
In the year 62 AD, the Roman army led by General Quintus Attius Corvus annihilated the entire Celtic horse-riding tribe. Corvus, with his own hands, killed the elderly parents of a boy named Milo. Milo, who survived the massacre, was captured and sold into slavery.
17 years later, the adult Milo has grown into a popular gladiator. Milo's owner, Graecus, brings the gladiator to the city of Pompeii. At the same time, a beautiful girl named Cassia also comes to Pompeii after settling in Rome.
Cassia is the daughter of Governor Severus and his wife, Aurelia. Cassia became interested in Milo when she saw the gladiator kill a critically injured horse swiftly to alleviate its pain. Cassia sees what Milo did as an act of kindness.
The Corvus who has become a senator, turns out to have an interest in Cassia and approaches her in an uncomfortable way. This is what made Cassia flee to Rome beforehand.
