Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius ( Anthony Quayle ), decides in his later years to pass the throne to the worthy courtier Lydias (Stephen Boyd) rather than the prince Lucius Aurelius Commodus Antoninus (Alec Guinness). ) and was thus poisoned. Liyas did not become the emperor of Rome, but assisted his friend Lucius Aurelius Commodus Antoninus to ascend to the throne, but he attracted the jealousy of the emperor, so he sent him to guard the frontier. The new emperor ascended the throne, was incompetent in governing the country, and was cruel and inhumane. The tax increase caused resistance from all over the world, and it was the elder sister Princess Lucilla who took the lead. The new emperor sent Libyas to conquer, and Libyas faced his lover, but still chose to be loyal to the monarch. But the emperor captured him and the princess, and prepared to burn them to death. Liyas finally killed the faint king and took the princess away from the royal family. Since then, the Roman Empire has gradually come to an end.
