Sex & Nudity

Kissing

Violence & Gore

A man is whipped during a chariot race. Another man is trampled by a chariot. He is shown with some skin ripped off(considerable blood). Several chariots crash.The crucifixtion of Jesus is shown, but not too graphically. During a naval battle, a ship is rammed and several men are killed. The water inside part of the ship turns red, presumably with blood. Galley slaves are chained to their seats inside the ship and treated roughly. Lepers are shown with body parts rotting away.

Profanity

None

A naval battle, roman style. A very intense chariot race. A man goes into a cave filled with lepers. Two women are left in a dungeon so long, they become lepers.
