Description of  Arena: Barbarian (Part One of the Roman Arena Series)

Pavo is the son of a rich family who has ended up on the wrong side of the Emperors wrath. He is given one year to live but must spend that year fighting as a gladiator. Harsh. The only remotely positive part in this death sentence is that his trainer is everyone's favorite surly centurion, Macro. This is not a prequel by any means but it does hint at Macro's life before he became a Centurion. And I swear, this man must have been born craggy! Anyway, Macro finds himself in the usual situation of being "maneuvered" into an impossible situation by the Emperor and his oh-so-wonderful circle of friends.
