Explain:
a. Your fate awaits- From time to time some of your people pick a fight with the Romans. But you're no match against the Roman army. If you're not killed in battle, then don't expect to be shown any mercy, you'll be taken prisoner and marched off to the city of Rome. If you survive the long journey you face an uncertain future.
b. Gotcha!- The Roman soldiers wear armour and follow a carefully worked-out battle plan. The Gauls are not so well organised. The fighting is soon over and unfortunately for you your tribe lose the battle. You are one of the prisoners and you are about to begin a new life.
c. Sold!- After capture by the army you are passed on to a slave-dealer, who buys and sells slaves. The dealer takes you to a slave market where you stand on a platform for everyone to see. Slaves with diseases are made to hold a sign so that people know there is something wrong with them. The slave-dealer asks people to call out prices and he will sell you to the person who pays the most.
d. Oh No!- Your new owner has decided you will be sent to a ludus gladiatorius – a school where slaves, criminals and other wretches are trained to fight as gladiators. Once inside, the gates will be locked and there will be no escape. You'll be trained to fight by a lanista or ‘butcher’, an old gladiator whose fighting days are over.
e. Who's who...- In your training you will have learned how to fight as one particular type of gladiator. It has cost your owner a lot of money to buy you, feed, train and equip you for the contest. Now you must be victorious – winning is all that matters. If you lose, you die!
f. Fight!- The games are about to begin. Your moment of glory is upon you – you hope. But first, you must entertain the crowd.
g. Ouch!- As you lie on the sandy floor of the arena, he brings his dagger to your throat. You must think fast – you may have only seconds to live. There’s only one thing you can do: appeal to the emperor.
h. It's over!- It seems the crowd showed you no mercy and the retarius was the winner of the contest. While your body is dragged from the arena, the victorious gladiator is presented with his prizes.
