peer agreement (net): +2morituri te salutant Explanation: Good luck! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-04-16 17:11:30 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ludi gladiatorii started with a parade of gladiators in the arena. They seemed happy thanks to their training and joked with the spectators. Afterwards they demonstrated their weapons to the public. It was an old custom with the purpose to ensure that the weapons were sharpened and generally in such condition that could spread the death. Then they presented themselves in front of emperor\'s podium, where they directed the tragic salutation: Ave Caesar, morituri te salutant. That means Hail Caesar, they who will die they salute you. With the emperor\'s sign a judge let a handkerchief fall to the ground as an opening signal. |
