      • Trivia
        Copyright dated 1963, but not submitted to the British Board of Film Censors until 27 June 1975 when it was passed with a "U" certificate under the title Revenge of the Gladiators. Distributors Miracle Films selected it to go out with Maciste contro i mostri (1962), but the release was limited. The ITV network eventually acquired the film and its television premiere (under the title Fire Over Rome) was on 30 September 1991 throughout most ITV regions, excluding Yorkshire Television who saved it until 11 November 1991 to be screened as the third of their "Roman Follies" series, (a light-hearted season of the worst of the Italian epics).

      Unexpectedly Interesting (No Spoilers)
      While I'm not partial to the insanity of the Nero storyline (no spoilers), I love the tie-ins with the infamous Seneca and Sts Peter and Paul. What gets me about this film is the strong ethical pull and the fact that having ethical principles is immediately misunderstood as being Christian -- which at the time is an accusation punishable by death, usually without evidence or trial in Nero's time. (No more on this so as not to include any spoilers, BUT it's fair to mention that this line of action ultimately leads to the great fire of Rome.)

      The acting and costumes are quote good. My favorite character is the mother (NO SPOILERS).
