I'm looking forward to this.
Just one major flaw - Gladiators didn't kill each other in the arena unless:
A. Someone Paid a lot of Money to a string of different officials and the Lanista
B. It was an accident (Or a wound got infected)
Besides that Fights were choreographed. I'll get the name of it, but there's a first-century text which records in the span of like 80 years and 300 gladiators, only 19 died and only 1 or 2 were on purpose.
Now, obviously you can completely ignore this, but I thought it should be mentioned. Either way, I love some Roman fiction!
So... You're telling me that the movie Gladiator isn't real? And here I go thinking Russell Crowe was related to Maximus!
Btw, GL McScottish!!!
I'm aware of that, thank you Aetius Who said he was going to be in an arena anyway? In all seriousness though, I thought as much, I'll try to remember that when I'm writing scenes about guys being disembowelled and decapitated.
Thank you, Dance. Yea, I always thought Crowe had some ancient lineage, but apparently it was all a made up story! Who knew, right?!
