Born in Britain. Raised in Rome. Forged in the arena. Forgotten by history.
Britain, 55 BC. During Julius Caesar’s invasion, Roman centurion Marcus Marcello discovers an orphaned baby and takes him back to Rome, raising the boy as his own.
Named Claudius, the child grows into a formidable gladiator and eventually becomes master of the very school where he learned to fight. But fate has far greater plans for him.
Shipwrecked off Malta and robbed of his memory, Claudius begins an extraordinary journey that eventually leads him back to Rome—and into the presence of Emperor Augustus.
The Emperor gives him an extraordinary challenge: design an arena more magnificent than anything Rome has ever seen.
Claudius is a gladiator, not an architect. Yet throughout his life, a mysterious ghost has watched over him, appearing whenever he needs her most.
Claudius's vision will not be realised in his lifetime. Years after his death, Rome builds the greatest arena the ancient world has ever known.
The world knows it as the Colosseum. But did history remember the wrong man?
The Forgotten Gladiator is a sweeping historical adventure of courage, survival, mystery and one man's forgotten place in history.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. During Julius Caesar's conquest of southern Britain in the year 55 BC, one of his centurions kills a farmer and his wife. A baby is found at the house, and the centurion, Marcus Marcello, takes the baby back to Rome and brings the boy up as his own. The boy Claudius is sent to a gladiator school, where he eventually becomes the owner. His exploits cause him to be shipwrecked off Malta, and he loses his memory. Still, he eventually returns to Rome, where he is encouraged by the then Emperor Augustus, who asks Claudius to design an arena to the envy of the world. He is a gladiator, not an architect; he knows what he wants but cannot put it into practice. A ghost has been following him all his life, aiding him where necessary, and she provides him with the answer. The Colosseum was not built until after his death, and then Emperor Vespasian did not give credit to Claudius. This item is printed on demand.
