Chapter 2 - Plaque - Sartorio - Story of Gracchus - Vittorio Carvelli

Marcus and a slave troupe of dancing boys are taken to Crete, and from there to Brundisium (which was Marcus' original destination, on his way to Rome).

In Brundisium the pirates sell Marcus and the dancing boys to a high class Greek slave trader called Arion.

Marcus is subsequently put into an auction, and described as 'Markos' a Greek bilingual, attractive and educated slave-boy.

Many bids are made for him until one young man makes a phenomenally high bid (in gold), that no one else in the auction room can match.
