•Plot:
-Based loosely on the television show, Spartacus, this role play will be set in 71BC Italy, primary around Rome. It is a reflection of slavery, Gladiators and the blood sport that drew crowds of thousands, the arena. Though it will hold some truth, it will not be historically accurate. Famed names can and will be changed, events will not follow as they did in recorded history. So in essence, this will be fictional, though incidents and situations that arise should be true to the time period. The story will be based around the arena and four main Houses/Ludus. Each will be run by a Lanista(Dominus/Domina) and all will play a significant role in the story. There will also be political influence and introduction throughout, as well as a war taking place not far from home. You have a few choices for your characters: Lowly slaves, famed gladiators, or the the main players of the game, the Romans. You will play out your characters story in these times, characters will die, be bought and sold, and face many hardships. Please try to stay true to the role you choose. There will eventually be an uprising by the slaves, but this will be tabled for now, once we are established and have put time into the story as is, we can look into the drastic change.
