Synopsis

This is a spectacle based on the history of the Roman Empire in the reign of Nero. The story deals with the tyrant's rise to power; his infatuation with Princess Marcia, a young Christian girl; her romance with Horatius, a young Roman soldier who saves her from Nero; and Nero's downfall and death through the plottings of his consort, the Empress Poppaea. The spectacular scenes include portrayal of the Circus Maximus, chariot races, martyrdom of the Christians, the burning of Rome, and the charge of the Roman legionnaires, who rescue Rome and eliminate Nero.
