We briefly see a man as he's decapitated. During another gladiator contest, various contestants are killed, including one who's cut in half, and other bloodletting occurs. More wounded or killed people are bloody. Blood comes out when a person is stabbed, while a man's nose is bloody from blows during another contest. We hear the sound of a knife slowing being driven into a person's throat.
Various characters buy and sell slaves to be used in gladiator contests for profit.
Someone puts a snake into someone else's bed, but we never see what happens from that. All of the swordplay and other gladiator-type fighting may prove to be enticing to some kids to imitate. An entertainer blows a flammable liquid out over a torch, creating a brief but large fireball in the air. A comment is made about a Senator and his mistresses. In a later scene, he runs his hand along her clothed chest, neck and lips and acts likes he's going to kiss her, but doesn't.
