The show is stopped with the manager flogging the defiant gladiator without effect until he is stopped by Rocca. A man named Chimbro offers to buy the survivors for his own use and mollifies the manager by not only the price paid but promising that they will suffer lifelong torment instead of an easy death. The manager takes his anger out on Rocca and his men by blacklisting them from ever appearing in an arena again.The hungry gladiators travel through the countryside where they stop an attack by bandits on a group carrying the Patrician woman Livia who promises her rescuers a reward from her wealthy father. They are dismayed when their announcement that several of Lydias slaves are mortally wounded is met by Livia reassuring them there is nothing to worry about she has more slaves where they come from. ........
