He was offered to take over the throne at which he declined, wanting to go back to his small farm to his wife and son. He was taken to be executed by the now Emperors orders, which he escaped. His wife and son were murdered and his farm burned to the ground. Later on he was taken by some immigrants passing through, taking him in and nurturing him back to health, he was taken to a city to be sold as a Gladiator, for which they thought of him a Spaniard.
