aka’s: IL Figlio Di Spartacus/
The Son Of Spartacus

The decurion Randus (Steve Reeves) is promoted by Caesar (Ivo Garrani) to centurion and sent to Egypt to keep Cesar informed on the actions and intentions of co-triumvir Marcus Licinius Crassus (Claudio Gora). A fateful sea trip from Egypt to Rome forces Randus in captivity by mercenary troops and leads a revolt by which he gets freedom for himself and all the other slaves. Through an amulet he received from his late mother, a man who had fought by Spartacus’ side, identifies the young man as Spartacus’ and Varinia’s son. At first, reluctant to accept this story about his origins, Randus is forced by circumstances to repeat the feat of his father, twenty years later. Also stars Gianna Maria Canale. Also with Ombretta Colli.

This film came from a 35mm widescreen German import print in excellent picture quality.
