Reception
In a contemporary review, the Monthly Film Bulletin described the film as a "lavishly staged" and "shot in pale, restrained colours, this Italian spectacle reduces dialogue to the minimum and concentrates on as varied a display of violent action as the most eager fan could wish for, ranging from ambushes in the forest to bloody underground revolutions and equally savage gladiatorial contests." The review noted that "one has to forget the vapid, dubbed dialogue, and lumbering acting (the one exception being Philippe Leroy's villainous, cold-eyed Silla)." The review also noted the second-unit director Riccardo Freda, noting that "The arena scenes, in particular, are directed with a fine sense of movement and camera style by Riccardo Freda, who has now joined that select band of second unit directors on whom this kind of film tends to rely."
