Aglio, favored gladiator of Mithras, has an agreement with Bracchus that he will have his freedom if he loses his match with Cassius. However, when the time comes, Bracchus gives the death sign. Eventually, Bracchus arranges Cassius' death as well. Then while Bracchus is reviewing the arena the night before the next big event, lions are released into the arena with him. Bracchus sees a figure in his box and pleads for help while attempting to pull himself up. However, he sees Cassius' ghost giving him the thumbs down sign.
