Panem et Circenses – Bread and Entertainment. Rome in 79 AD is the wealthiest city in the world, and there is a heavy influx of slave laborers from the growing empire to take over the work.

Those About to Die delves into the world of the games—a world characterized by bloodlust, greed for money, the pursuit of power, and corruption. The races at Circus Maximus are controlled by four Patrician-owned corporations, the Blue, Red, White, and Green factions, and shares in the four factions are the most valuable things in Rome. As the taste in entertainment of the populace becomes more jaded and bloodthirsty, a specially designed stadium for gladiatorial combat is needed – the Colosseum.

Underground, beneath the stands, thousands of people work and live—among them thousands who will die for the games.
