"Long live the empire!" "Salute the dying heroes!" Those words resounded throughout the air as thousands of cheers from fans alike as they watched people with the hearts of warriors put their very souls on the line as they battled for the entertainment of their people. The sounds of metal clashing against metal, hooves, and wooden tires treading across the ground, the roars of man and beast fighting tooth and nail to win their battles. That is what it meant to live the life of a Gladiator. But, as the saying goes, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do," and all that. However, I would not recommend doing it, lest you suffer the same fate as those "fortunate" enough to survive their battles against their fellow warriors and beasts.
