In this hilarious ‘living history’ reality show, modern day lads take on the challenge of a lifetime, as they’re transported back in time to ancient Rome where they’ll live, train and fight like gladiators. Facing grueling physical challenges, and possible elimination, they’re competing to make it to the prestigious Emperor’s Games, where they’ll battle for victory. Supporting them along the way are the boys’ girlfriends, helping their men in the quest to reach the games and competing in period-themed tasks. 
 
Who will be banished from the capital in shame? And who will survive the ancient world and impress the almighty emperor?  
 
Through blood, sweat and tears, one worthy couple will emerge triumphant to take home the Emperor’s gold!
