Click on the link above to go to a game from BBC where you must dress a gladiator for battle in the Roman arena of death, the Colosseum.  This game can help you understand what Roman gladiators need to survive in the arena of death. The way you dress, protect, and arm your gladiator will decide his fate in the battle.
