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.
