Description
Another fanfare of trumpets announces the entry of two teams of 24
gladiators in charge of two renowned trainers, themselves former gladiators
who, scarred and maimed, have somehow survived with their glory from many a
combat. According to tradition, 24 men heavily armed as the ancient
Samnites, Rome's oldest enemies, face 24 lightly clad and lightly armed
'Thracians,' each with exposed chests. Both teams march smartly up to face
the Emperor in his resplendent Imperial Box to shout as one man: 'Hail,
Caesar. Those about to die salute you.'
