Overview

They were the absolute superstars in ancient Rome: charioteers. The heroes of the racetrack, often slaves, risked their lives in every competition. Only a few enjoyed the rewards of victory into old age. Using ancient documents and artifacts, the documentary traces the biography of Scorpus, probably the most successful Roman charioteer.
