Actaea

Heaven has a better avatar at this particular moment.

I had an idea about the coliseum.

"Yes, yes!" cries Marleen Nagasawa, waving a wooden sword enthusiastically. "You've gotta do this, man! Gladiator fights are like the ultimate in spectator sports! And it doesn't just have to be people! We could pit man against griffon! Blade against claw! Nothing to their names but their wits and their stamina! You'd have to pay people a lot to risk their lives doing this but I bet you'd earn a whole lot more from merchandise and wagers and stuff!"

I'm not a tyrant to force prisoners to fight to the death, but at the same time, who am I to forbid ordinary people from fighting in the arena if they wish? Besides, how can I refuse this, since I am ancient Rome in a modern setting?
