Rome 238 year AD

Father hurry up or we will be late! Wait a second Alexander, your father have to dress up first. Don't worry son I'm ready! Plinius are you sure you want to take Alexander to the Coliseum? I don't like the idea a 10 years old boy to watch people killing each other. Claudia don't worry he will be fine. He wanted so much to see the gladiators, so there was nothing I could do to dissude him. Ok we have to leave. Bye Claudia! Bye mum!

So Alexander are you exited to see the gladiators? Yes dad! I want to see them fighting with lions! Haha you will, Alexander. Here it is the Coliseum! Wow dad he is huge!

Did grandfather fought here when he was a gladiator? Yeah son, your grandfather,the mighty Felix who have killed Commodus and the gladiator from who everyone were afraid! He killed his enemies with his sword made of a gold and defend from his opponents with his shield made of silver! Your grandfather was one of the most skillful and strong gladiators who ever lived!

Dad when I grow up I want to be like grandpa!

You will Alexander! Now lets find our seats and watch the fights. Ok dad.

Dad look, the gladiators are comming to the arena! Now prepare to meet the demon from

Aquileia, the beast who always kills his opponents with the most brutal way, say hi to Aelius! See son this is Aelius he fight with two swords and no shield. But why dad, isn't he going to die if he fight only with swords? No, Alexander he can attack with the first sword and defend with the second one. That's amazing dad! Now on the oppostite sife of the arena is comming the roman beast who kills everyone who stands in his way, this is Varinius! Varinius flips his daggers. Now prepare to die you coward! Haha don't make mi laugh Aelius you will be a easy one! The two gladiators start fighting. Aelius defends well. Now Aelius is attacking. He was close to kill Varinius. Haha is that the best you can do? You just scratch me! Aelius move well. Again he is close to kill his opponent but Varinius dodged the swords! Now Varinius have the advantage. He dodge every Aelius attacks. Varinius take of one of the Aelius' swords. Now Aelius have to fight with only one weapon. Varinius knows that if he want to win, he have to attack now! Varinius cut off Aelius' right hand. Now Aelius is without swords and there is no one who can help him now! Varinius is next to his opponent. Will he spare or will he kill him? He killed him! He cut off Aelius' throat and now he is laying on the ground dead. Wow dad, that was amazing! Yes son, sure it is. But now we have to come back at home to help your mother. Ok dad lets go!
