This is a diary of two gladiators ( Nortarius and Echion) one is a retairi (net fighter) and the other a murmillo (heavily armed gladiator).

These two gladiators have to face each other in a bloody battle at the Amphitheatre. Their diaries tell you about the fight and the gladiator’s feelings towards each other, during and before the fight.

Echion the Retiari (net fighter)

I woke up, just another day normal of my life I thought!

No it is not a normal day actually it is either the day of my death, or the day that I become famous. Today is the day I will face the champion gladiator Nortarius he is a murmillo (heavily armed gladiator.) I can just imagine him now in his strong army he is undefeatable. My stomach is lurching but I know that if I do not eat my breakfast I will not have enough energy to fight.

Join now!

         

Nortarius the Murmillo ( heavily armed gladiator)

Another day another dead body, that’s my motto. Although Echion is quite a well-known gladiator the crowd like me more than him, because after all I am more handsome. I’m sure I will win so sure that I would bet my life on it!!!!

               

Echion the Retiari (net fighter)
