PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Assisination plots, vestal virgins, catapults and love potions...just another day for a slave in old Pompeii! Life as a slave wouldn't be all bad for Lurcio -- if he didn't always get caught up in one ridiculous mess after another! His master is the good-hearted Senator Ludicrus Sextus who is married to Ammonia. Their son, Nausius, and daughter, Erotica, live with them as well. Between the lot of them, it's no wonder Mt. Vesuvius erupted!
