Aelia S.P.D. Lolliae
I was wondering if you would like to attend the ludi circenses with me next week? There will be all sorts of events going on including the famous chariot races and gladiator fights. Did you know that these games occur roughly 10 to 12 times a year and are held by the emperor? The emperor holds them in order to distract the poor and unemployed from their miserable lives in the hopes that they won’t revolt against him.

Did you know that one of these types of gladiators boxes with special metal gloves to enhance the chances of getting cut or bleeding. Even though the gladiators all entertain in different ways they all serve the same purpose: to entertain the people. Although the gladiators are all different they all take the sacramentum gladiatorium which states “uri, vinciri, verberari, ferroque necari.” All gladiators attend to a special school, located near the Coliseum, where they are trained hard for lengthy amounts of time. These gladiators are usually slaves, criminals, or prisoners of war, sometimes they are fighting for their freedom or serving a death sentence. Occasionally people, including women (isn’t that so cool, maybe we should try it), actually volunteer to be gladiators because of the benefits, including food, money, and fame. Every once in awhile they have animals such as bears, rhinos, tigers, elephants, and giraffes
