Rebellion: Rise of the Damned
In Rebellion: Rise of the Damned, a summer vacation changes the protagonist's life forever. Once a rising academic star, a decent athlete, and a happily married man, his future seemed full of promise. But a fateful decision to take his wife on an archaeology tour in Southern Italy triggers his downfall. While exploring a forgotten temple, the couple unknowingly re-enacts an ancient ritual, with disastrous results. Suddenly, the protagonist is thrust back to the Late Roman Republic. Alone, vulnerable, and enslaved, he's condemned to fight in the brutal arena, where his vast knowledge of history offers no relief. Just when hope fades, a legendary figure - Sparacus - appears, offering friendship and the strength to survive.
