The toga-heavy comedy tells the tale of two young men – Marcus and Stylax – and their "lazy slave with a major attitude problem", Grumio, who "try to get laid, hold down jobs and climb the social ladder in the big city – a city that happens to be Ancient Rome".

The six-part series stars Tom Rosenthal, Joel Fry and Doctor Who's Ryan Sampson, and features appearances from Sophie Colquhoun, Lydia Rose Bewley and Doon Mackichan.
