It was set in Rome, and the arena is where people fight lions. I enjoyed the book but it was a bit scary!

I didn’t like when the soldiers trapped Androcles and captured him but I did like when the Lion remembered him and the Emperor let him go free. I liked the lion the best because he didn’t fight Androcles
