Gaby explained some of the Gladiator's precautions after Marcus left, and then left in a hurry to discuss the opening battle with Marcus.
Bach's performance in the final assessment is good, which makes Gaby pass the test successfully, and even gets praise from Marcus. But Gaby is not too happy, but frowns slightly.
He has been in charge of Bach's training, so he is very clear about the real level of Bach. He always thinks that it is not a good thing to push Bach to the front desk now. In Gaby's original plan, Bach will have to accept at least half a year of special training to become the facade of the victor arena. It is not a good thing to push him out too early, but Marcus obviously does not With such good patience, especially when he saw Bach's excellent performance today, he would be thinking about how to make the latter a new cash cow as soon as possible.
Gabby didn't know how to convince Marcus.
…………
The main staff left, and there were only a group of gladiators who had just passed the training on the training ground. The atmosphere suddenly became lively.
After becoming a full-time official, although still unable to get rid of the slave status, the treatment is not much better than before.
First of all, the previous cruel training is gone. Although the formal gladiators themselves are constantly training to improve their fighting skills, the intensity will not be as terrible as before. Otherwise, considering the maintenance and rehabilitation methods of this era, the gladiators will be abandoned by the school before they go to the field several times.
In addition, people's living conditions are much better now. In the past, more than a dozen people were crowded in one room, while formal gladiators were all four people in one room. Their snoring at night is much lower. In addition, there are free massages and baths. Among them, Freeman gladiators can leave school at any time.
They can even stop taking part in school training, as long as they can play on time, such as Griff. According to him, his wife just gave birth to a son, and he didn't even drink much wine, so he left school and hurried home to carry the children. In fact, except for habitus, who has no family, many free man gladiators are Training at school, going home to sleep at night.
There is no such good treatment for slaves, but it is said that after performing in the victor arena for more than a year, they can go out for air from time to time after asking Gaby for instructions and getting approval.
In addition, Gaby also promised them that as long as they can win a certain number of games, they can regain their status as free people. Of course, the social status of the released slaves is still a little lower than that of the normal Roman citizens, but higher than that of the foreigners in Rome.
This is undoubtedly the most exciting thing. Although compared with other slave gladiators, they are more dignified and adored by many maidens and ladies, no one wants to be a slave all the time and be determined by others to live or die and sell like goods.
Zhang Heng and varo did not drink too much wine and went back to their new residence. They opened the door and immediately saw what Marcus said was the gift.
I saw four female slaves sitting quietly in the room. They had nothing on them, but there was no shame on their young faces. Instead, they straightened their chests generously, as if they were making a silent invitation to them.
However, Zhang Heng and varo did not have much reaction.
After so many rounds of copying, it's hard for pure physiological stimulation to attract Zhang Heng. He doesn't refuse this kind of thing, but it's hard to get much happiness from sleeping with a person who has no feelings with him.
Varo himself was a married man. There used to be many slaves in his family. He was not unfamiliar with this kind of thing, but his mind is not on it now, so he turned to Zhang Heng and said, "I'm going to take a bath in the school bathroom. We haven't washed well for so many days. I feel like I'm going to stink. What about you?"
"I'm with you." Zhang Heng nodded.
Apart from Caesar and gladiators, ancient Rome is probably most famous for their extraordinary persistence in bathing.
Since Gaius, a wealthy businessman, invented the first set of hot bath equipment in the early 1st century BC, bathing has become a part of Roman daily life. No matter men, women, young and old, nobles or slaves can refuse hot bath.
But even in the wealthy Domus, there were few who built their own bathrooms. The ancient Romans were more used to bathing in public baths.
There are hundreds of large and small baths in the whole Roman city, among which the largest and most famous tulazhen bathhouse can accommodate 3000 people to take a bath at the same time, and the admission fees of these bathhouses are basically very cheap. Take tulazhen bathhouse as an example, as long as 1 guadelante (16 guadelantes equal to 1 Cestus) can enter the door, and you can even get half of the money outside According to varo, tulazhen bathhouse is like a small city. People who go in for the first time may even get lost in it.
However, Zhang Heng has no chance to see him for the time being. What he and varo are going to is the bath of Gladiator school, which is specially built for gladiators and is not open to the public.
You can see the plume at the top of the bathhouse from a distance. In terms of building scale, it can't compare with the bathing beach outside, but there are many things. For example, as soon as you enter the large pool directly opposite the door, it provides cold water and you can swim in it. Along the porch around the small pool, there is a small yard, which is similar to a gym, where two pairs of gladiators are wrestling, The rest stood around and watched. In addition, a man was pounding a flour bag, a bit like a future boxer practicing with sandbags.Zhang Heng and varo didn't look much. They went straight through the courtyard to their destination. The three rooms behind the courtyard symbolized hot bath, warm bath and cold bath.
Varo quickly took off his clothes, leaving only a band around his waist, which makes him look a bit like Tarzan. Varo put his clothes into the cabinet, then turned to Zhang Heng and said, "come on, my Oriental friend, I bet you will love the next feeling."
"You'd better not say such confusing words to me when you're dressed like this." Zhang Heng said and took off his clothes.
They walked into the hot water bathroom with the smallest left hand. As soon as they opened the door, Zhang Heng felt a heat wave. In addition, there was transpiration of white steam, in which the stone pillars of the bathroom loomed.
