Who had hanged himself in front

 That's it, and it was good. And even that, they paid extra to mess it up: the chain is so long that its only presence in the film is justified by the fact that Milo steals a horse from a guy in the arena, then goes all the way around the arena, his chain at his foot, which, thus stretched, knocks down the last fake Roman soldiers in his path (and no, they don't get up, it kills them outright, I guess). So explain to me the point of chaining up a gladiator if the chain is long enough for him to go everywhere in the arena? I mean: apart from to fit in an inconsistency and an action scene that smells of hot turd? By the way, Milo even grabs the imperial eagle from the banner of the fake Romans and breaks it to the cheers of the audience, because yes, in Pompeii, they don't like Rome. Oh really, it's a bit like the OM-PSG of the time? And c level executive list even so: since when is the public supposed to rejoice in seeing a barbarian break the symbol of his empire?

Again, I didn't quite get it. I was too busy pushing the historian's feet, of me and who were in the way of my seeing the screen.

At the end of the fight, Atticus is angry because he was robbed of his fight which should have set him free, as for Milo, he grabs a pilum from the ground... and throws it straight towards Jack Bowus!

But someone steps in and stops the projectile with a sword swing because yes, it's probably a ninja:

Severus, Bowus's right-hand man, who had participated in the massacre of Milo's people.

The mountain, probably itself dismayed by this scene, then makes the ground tremble and there is a bit of panic in the arena as the shaking is stronger than usual: Bowus quickly calms everyone down thanks to the megaphone integrated into his throat which means that when he speaks, everyone can hear him, even over the screams, and he announces that it is a sign: Vulcan wants the hero of the arena, Milo (oh really, you didn't notice that Atticus was still there?) to fight in single combat against the champion of Rome, Severus!

Certainly? Why not? And the audience, they come right back and applaud as if nothing had happened? Okay. I'll do it again:

"Haaaa! The ground is shaking so hard that even we, who are used to it, find it terrifying! We're all going to dieeeeeee!"
– Yes, but there will be a DUEL!
– Hooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Wait, we're coming back! Move out of my seat, asshole!

Interesting.

So the duel begins and Milo is in a bad position, when this time, the earth starts to shake again, and for good: part of the arena collapses and cracks worthy of 2012 open in the ground (yes, you know, the cracks that always hit where the hero is and follow him whatever he does) and engulf Milo and Severus, bringing them into the basement where they get up with difficulty.
