This eight part mini-series takes you inside the world of gladiatorial combat in ancient Rome. Set at the turn of the 2nd Century A.D., The Illyrian follows the exploits of a gladiator with a mysterious past and an uncertain future. Ariston will not long remain a nameless slave as he climbs the ranks of Rome's finest gladiators. Nor will he be able to stay innocent of the sinister plots and bloody schemes of Rome's corrupt politicians. Follow Ariston as he fights his way to glory, both in and out of the arena!

A Stranger's Ariston, a newly enslaved gladiator, draws the attention of a powerful foreigner, who plans to turn him from a backwater champion into the greatest gladiator that Rome has ever seen.
