Determined to be first, they start making beer before Prohibition is actually over. That makes their "competition" bootlegging thugs -- something they didn't count on!...

"SEE the quest for a fabulous treasure...the pagan revels of Saturnalia...the 'sport' that turned men into beasts!" screamed a poster for the fast-paced, adrenaline-charged adventure Gold for the Caesars.

Now this is a smackdown, ancient-myth style. No octagonal steel cage. No rules. No surrender.

Hercules had set out to find Samson and deliver him to the Philistines in exchange for the imprisoned Ulysses and other Ithacans. Samson, of course, fights rather than submits. But in the course of the titanic Herc-Sam clash, something...
