Demetrius And The Gladiators is a sequal to the 1953 movie "The Robe"
In Rome, soon after the death of Christ, the newly liberated slave Demetrius forges an alliance with his Christian brethren to hide the sacred robe of Jesus Christ, desired for its so thought of ""magic powers" by the evil emperor Caligula.
Captured and manipulated into believing his beloved Lucia has been murdered, Demetrius rejects his pacifist faith and plots vengeanc, turning his back on God, he enters the arena, and becomes the most famous gladiator in Rome. He eventually falls prey to the scheming senator's wife Messalina, who craves his affection. It all leads to a crisis of faith that will determine Demetrius's fate as a noble Christian or downfallen hedonist.
