Peplum was a comedy series set against the backdrop of the decline of the Roman Empire. It followed the life of Bravus, a former slave who became an adviser to the tyrannical Emperor Maximus. The series depicted his struggles to manage a stressful professional life while dealing with a chaotic family, including his son Caius, who had recently converted to Christianity, his wife Octavia, who was unfamiliar with Roman social norms, and his daughter Lydia, who was quite sassy. The show explored themes of societal decline and personal resilience, drawing a parallel to modern times.

The episodes each had a runtime of approximately 90 minutes. Peplum provided a humorous look at life during a turbulent period in history, blending historical context with contemporary issues.
