Shimon

Set in the bustling streets, glorious villas and fearsome gladiatorial arenas of the third-century Roman Empire, Shimon is a moving story of one man's journey to maturity and the rediscovery of his faith. Can a young man, beset by intrigue and jealousy because of his physical strength and his race, find redemption and a real purpose in his life? 'Damnatio ad Gladium,' the magistrate pronounced - 'I'm innocent,' Shimon screamed - But it was too late - Shimon had just been condemned to die in the arena.
