Seeing the intimate conversation between Zhang Heng and Lucilla, the other gladiators showed envy one after another.
This is the most distinguished woman in the whole empire. What's more, although she is in her early thirties, Lucilla is well maintained in both her figure and face. Although some gladiators are a little resistant to selling her looks, no one can refuse if she is the object.
However, Zhang Heng himself is full of vigilance to this flying Yanfu, the reason is very difficult to be simple, because according to the track of history, Lucilla will be involved in the assassination of her brother Kang maode more than a year later.
Later generations can't understand the assassination. As a woman, Lucilla is the daughter of the former Emperor, the elder sister of the current emperor, and the only close relative of Kang maode. She should have all of them. It's impossible to be an emperor any further. The assassination led by Lucilla won't bring much benefit to her.
In terms of planning, there are also many failures. For example, she conceals her husband, who is a powerful figure in the military. If she can get him into the army, there is a certain way out for both of them. However, her husband Pompeii Yanus is kept in the dark from beginning to end, and Lucilla finally chooses her cousin, womdius coovatratos As a partner.
The latter is the elder of the Senate. His status in the Senate is second only to Dior, and he also affects more than 100 seats, which is a boost in politics. However, his and Lucilla's level of planning political assassinations is not good.
They finally found pontianus' nephew kuntiyanus to be the killer, which was also the biggest failure of the whole plan. This gentleman was a severe moderate and advanced disease. Before they started, they said hello to Commaud, and at the same time, they exclaimed, "the Senate brought you this..."
As a result, he startled the guards nearby and was caught by mistake. He did not bear the trial. Therefore, wormidius and Lucilla exposed one after another and executed one after the other. Another was exiled to Capri and executed shortly afterwards.
This is also the real reason why Zhang Heng doesn't want to be close to Lucilla.
This woman is not only a madman, but also a brainless madman. If she is too close to her, she may be dragged into the water. However, Zhang Heng finds out that Lucilla is not as stupid as described in history.
On the contrary, this woman is very smart and unpredictable, but it is more in line with her identity.
The daughter of the former Emperor, who was married to the emperor and a powerful figure in the military for two terms, was at the top of power all her life. How could such a woman be stupid.
Zhang Heng can't figure out why she planned that stupid assassination more than a year later, but because of this, Zhang Heng doesn't want to have anything to do with this woman.
The dinner lasted until late into the night. Apart from the Gladiator show, there were singing and dancing and recitation by bards. However, the later things had nothing to do with the gladiators. Considering that the Gladiator show will start tomorrow, all the gladiators returned to their respective places after the visit to nourish their energy and prepare for tomorrow's battle.
…………
Early the next morning, before dawn, Zhang Heng, Bach and others were awakened on time and took a donkey cart to the place of the duel performance, the Flavi amphitheater.
Later generations can only see the remains of the Flavi amphitheater, the outer ring structure is only half, and the inner part is only a few brick arch ribs and grass on the ground, so tourists here can only rack their brains to make up for the glory here, but now Zhang Heng is really standing under it, looking up at the complete Flavi amphitheater .
Spectacular! This is everyone's first impression when they see it.
The morning sun shines on Nero's gilded bronze Colossus, which is located in the middle of a square filled with colored flags. Behind it is the towering Flavi amphitheater.
The Flavian amphitheater is composed of four floors, with a height of forty to fifty meters. There are 80 huge arcades on the bottom three floors. There are statues with different looks in the arcades. Each statue is much larger than the one in the front hall of Dior. In addition, shield plates and countless ribbons are hanging on the arch, which seems to welcome the triumph of the hero.
Of course, the most attractive thing is the top of the amphitheater, where there is a circle of hard poles. In terms of number, there are hundreds of them. The hard poles are tied with long cables, supporting a large ring more than 100 meters above the ground. The tarpaulin woven of thin linen is spread on the ring, creating a huge ceiling to shade the audience.
Considering its size, the ceiling was at least 20 to 30 tons in weight. In order to control the ceiling, the Empire had to send 1000 well-trained sailors.
The stones used to build the arena were transported from the albuyer quarry in the outskirts of Rome. Each piece was of amazing weight. At that time, the Romans played with the arched structure to the extreme. Unlike the pyramids, the structure of the Flavi amphitheater was hollow. Its skeleton was like a bridge. It was put together piece by piece. The magic is that more than two thousand years have passed, and it is still there It can stand.
You know, the Bernabeu stadium can only hold 80000 people, while the Flavi amphitheater 2000 years ago can hold 90000 people to watch the game together."No wonder they all say this is the temple of gladiators," Bach murmured. "You have to admit that these Romans are very good at building." Although the Germanic people were reluctant, they had to praise their enemies.
It's still early in the morning, and there is no audience. However, it's already conceivable how grand it will be when the arena is full. Fighting under the gaze of 90000 people, I'm afraid the timid people will shiver as soon as they get on the stage. However, as long as you can win, you can enjoy the cheers and cheers of the mountain and tsunami group, and let tens of thousands of people fight for you You're crazy on your own.
This kind of scene just think about it, it makes people feel nervous.
In fact, not only Zhang Heng and Bach, but also habitus and other veteran gladiators, when they saw the flavy amphitheater, had a strange look in their eyes. Obviously, they felt something. Except Zhang Heng, no Gladiator could resist the temptation of fame and wealth. It has been more than a year since sisnates retired. During this period, although the Gladiator school in Colombia has launched many powerful newcomers, including satonilos, they can't recapture the legend of sisnates and become the first gladiator who deserves it. Now, the chance to ascend to the top is finally placed in front of all Gladiators.
