Silla

About the show

After defeating his enemies, Silla declares himself dictator. He tries to seduce Celia and Flavia, but his wife Metella stops him. He imprisons Lepido and Claudio, whom Celia loves, and sentences them to death. Metella uses a bloodstained garment to convince Silla that Lepido has been executed, then frees the prisoners. The couples reunite, and Metella rescues Silla from a shipwreck. The god Mars appears as Rome’s supporters rise against the tyrant; Silla repents, retires with Metella, and consents to Claudio and Celia’s marriage.
