GLADIATOR meets HEAT in a brutal, pulse-pounding historical heist set during the fall of Nero’s Rome.

Circus Maximus unfolds in Rome, 64 AD. An unlikely crew plans the most daring heist in history. Comprising a former slave, a Vestal Virgin, a charioteer, and a disgraced architect, each member holds personal motives. While Rome's attention is caught by the chariot racing and gladiatorial games of the Circus Maximus, the crew plots to rob the Imperial treasury under the Temple of Saturn.

However, when Emperor Nero sets fire to the city, they will be lucky to escape his wrath with their lives, let alone the loot.

From Mark Sable (Graveyard of Empires, Miskatonic) and Giorgio Pontrelli (Miskatonic), Circus Maximus is GLADIATOR meets HEAT - a blood-soaked historical thriller.
