How to order

After ancient Roman combat prodigy Billy Herrington defeats Titus, the Emperor's favorite, in the gladiatorial arena, he's escorted back to his cell in the bowels of the Colosseum. There, devoted slave Tom Katt removes the new champion's gold lamé loincloth, unties his fringed buckskin g-string, wipes away his patina of blood and grime, dresses his shoulder wound, and massages his sumptuous ass. Alas, Trent Cougar and Andel, who have been standing guard, burst in before Katt can go further. Knocking the uppity slave to the straw-strewn floor, they expropriate the gladiator for a strenuous three-way. Later, Katt returns to run his hands across the sleeping Herrington's sculpted musculature.

Following an interlude where Casey Williams and Tino Lopez, two captives (Christians?) in a neighboring cell, rut while voicing Latin interjections like "Yeah!" and "Oh, fuck," Herrington is led to a place decked out with swatches of out-of-period fabric and big piles of fruit. There Caesar (Blake Harper as, perhaps, the irrepressibly queer Tiberius) rewards Herrington for his prowess. The orgy begins with two slave boys licking Herrington's sandals, and progresses to the point where Caesar himself ("Come on, fuck your Emperor!") is getting boinked by a tall, muscular henchman (Colton Ford). In a postcoital note of sexual blackmail, Harper warns Herrington that he soon intends to top him, but Herrington finesses the situation by offering his thus far inviolate butthole to his faithful slave.

Bodybuilder Herrington seems more expressive than usual under Chi Chi LaRue's expert guidance; Katt, appealing here in an odd, Jim Nabors-ish way, has never been better. Conquered is pretty damn silly, but not much sillier than Ridley Scott's Oscar-winning Gladiator. In any case, a video containing scripted lines like "Take my manhood!" must be-- unlike Gladiator-- really courting laughter. Right?
