Titus's 100 Days of Games “Today Is the Day,” I Told My Mom As I Dashed Titus’s 100 Days of Games “Today is the day,” I told my mom as I dashed down the stairs. I had been waiting weeks for this to happen. My dad and I were headed to the games! I had been to gladiatorial fights in the forum and at funeral processions, but never huge matches like this. The first ever gladiator match was in 264 BC and it was in a cattle market known as the Forum Boarium to celebrate Brutus Pera. My ancestors watched the whole fight and now it has become a family tradition. Titus has been a horrible leader until today. In 79 AD when he started his reign Mount Vesuvius erupted. The gods clearly were unhappy with his ruling. Now he is in good favor with the people because today he finally opens the games and the Colosseum. His father Vespasian ruled before him and started the building of the Colosseum. I asked my mother, “Did you know, Titus is the first ruler to come to throne after his biological father.” She responded, “Yes sweetie now you better leave for the games your father is waiting for you.” I saw my father in the atrium and we set off. I’ve always admired my father. He is in the Senate therefore he gets to sit in the front right behind the emperor at the Colosseum. Our walk was short and we found little to discuss other than our excitement towards our day to come. We finally arrived at the massive Colosseum. Quickly everyone filed into their seats as the games were about to begin. The first piece of entertainment of the day was a parade of animals. My father overheard the emperor discussing how there will be over 10,000 animals of all kinds today at the games. Animals walked out, some I had never seen before. The women in the back were astonished to see such amazing creatures and proceeded to gasp at their beauty. My father had briefly studied the animals and explained to me what they were. Hippopotami, Crocodiles, Wolves, and Giraffes were easily my favourite. Everyone knew that Emperor Titus was trying to win our respect, but it was working. The animals exited through another door and 1 the whole stadium was served complimentary lunch and wine with the gladiator fight afterwards. The munera was beginning to get closer. My father and I played dice games with a few men around us. Music was played making it a festive atmosphere. There was even a water powered organ. All of a sudden a wooden ball was dropped right into my lap. Inscribed on the bottom was the word, aurum. I had just won gold from the emperor. My father looked over at me with pride in his eyes. Trumpets sounded signaling the beginning of the gladiator fight. Then a gate opened and a retiarius emerged. He held his net tight in his hands as sweat poured down his face. He was ready to stab his trident at any flinch. The secutor would soon emerge wearing a helmet with a large shield. As the door opened and a gladiator appeared, I noticed that it was not a secutor like I suspected, but a murmillo. This was one fight that my father and I had never seen before. The murmillo held just one weapon, a gladius. He was armed with a scutum. His bronze helmet, known as the Cassis Crista, had a fine grill to protect against any sword. They saluted Titus as they uttered, “Those who are about to die salute you”. The signal was was given to start the fight and we all sat at the edge of our seats. The murmillo began with a quick jab to the retiarius head using his gladius. The retiarius was able to easily dodge the advances because he did not wear a helmet. Immediately my father whispered to me, “Son, I don’t think this will be a good fight the murmillo is not well trained. Did you see that immediate thrust to the head, it’s shows he’s not trying to win the crowd”. I whispered back “Yes father”. The retiarius threw his net over the murmillo. We suspected the fight was close to an end. All of the sudden the murmillo was back on his feet before the retiarius could strike. The murmillo was using his scutum to knock his opponent onto his feet. The retiarius was held at the neck with the sword. The murmillo looked to Titus to 2 decide his opponent’s fate. Titus responded with a thumbs down. (It is unclear what hand sign was used). The retiarius’s throat was slashed and blood spurted everywhere. The man dressed as Hermes entered and prodded the dead body. Then the Charon dragged the body away. I felt queasy, while everyone around me was thrilled. I looked to my father and mirrored his excitement. I had succumb to the culture of my people and did not think any differently. The games continued, with an extraordinary fight between Priscus and Verus. Priscus meaning ancient and Verus meaning true were equal fighters and even my father was excited. This fight went on tirelessly with no signs of ending. Emperor Titus intervened and forced the gladiators to fight without using a shield. He proclaimed that this would go on until one of the men surrendered by raising his finger. The fight continued and it did not appear a victor would emerge. My father and the other men began chanting missio. This meant they wanted both gladiators to leave the fight without determining a victor. Shortly after, both gladiatores raised their finger at the exact same time. Titus decided to present both Priscus and Verus with a palm, a symbol of victory. Then Titus gave the privilege to both gladiators of being discharged of their gladiatorial duties. The crowd was full of shock. This was the greatest game anyone, even my father had ever seen. Later my father told me that one of his friends, the poet Martial, had written a piece about the miracle that we had watched that day. My father and I both told our story to our family and friends, and soon it seemed everyone knew about our historic day. 3 Works Cited Alchin, Linda. "Emperors and the Colosseum."

  • Writing and Drawing on the Walls of Pompeii (Article)
    Writing and Drawing on the Walls of Pompeii: How the study of graffiti relates to the HSC Ancient History Core Syllabus for 2006 admiror, paries, te non cecidisse ruinis, ‘I am amazed, wall, that you have not fallen in ruins, qui tot scriptorum taedia sustineas. you who support so many boring inscriptions.’1 When the teacher of Ancient History in New South Wales first scans the listing of examinable content relating to the Core Unit on the Cities of Vesuvius newly introduced for the 2006 Higher School Certificate, the usefulness of incorporating graffiti2 into a program of study as one of the range of available sources may not be readily apparent. This article aims to survey the nature of graffiti at the site of ancient Pompeii as a category of material culture incorporating written and archaeological features and as a useful primary and supplementary source for evidence about the economy, social structure, politics, religion and daily life in Roman Campania of the Republican and early Imperial historical period. This discussion will touch incidentally on issues regarding the limitations, reliability and evaluation of graffiti as a source and as evidence. 1. Graffiti: Text and Artifact One of the enduring images many Sydneysiders associate with the 1999 New Years’ Eve ‘millenium’ celebration is that of the word ‘Eternity’ appearing in large illuminated letters on the Harbour Bridge. This word – also seen by over four billion people worldwide at the end of the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympic Games in September of 2000 – represents a significant instance of how a single practitioner of graffiti writing can ‘speak’ to a vast number of the simple and the sophisticated alike about a variety of historical, social and cultural issues.

  • Gladiator IQP Intro/Background.Docx
    HISTORICAL EVOLUTION OF ROMAN GLADIATORIAL ARMS AND ARMORS: 300 B.C. - 450 A.D. An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Carlos Berdeguer Robert Edwards Brian Hamilton Sean McCrone Date: May 8, 2014 Submitted to: Professor Diana A. Lados Mr. Tom H. Thomsen i Abstract In ancient Rome, gladiatorial combat was one of the most popular spectator sports of the Roman Empire. Over the course of 800 years, gladiatorial combat evolved from a sacrifice for deceased ancestors in a display of combat, to a political and social tool that used many lives to gain admiration. This project’s purpose was to look into the historical background of gladiatorial combat in the Roman Empire, and to analyze the armor, weapons and combat of combatants. We were also tasked with replicating one piece of armor or weaponry used by gladiators. For this project, the weapon chosen was the Gladius, one of the most popular and iconic weapons among gladiators. ii Acknowledgements We would like to thank Professor Diana A. Lados and Mr. Tom H. Thomsen, who aided us in our research and progress in this IQP. We would also like to thank Joshua Swalec, who taught us how to safely use the forge and all of the necessary tools in his shop, as well as blacksmithing techniques. Additionally, we would like to thank Dr. Boquan Li for his instruction on how to mount, grind, and polish our samples for further analysis.

  • 3 a Day at the Games
    84 A DAY AT THE GAMES 3 A Day at the Games The munus legitimum or standardized show established by Augustus had three main parts. Venationes, the wild animal fights, took place in the morning. At mid-day were the executions. In the afternoon, viewers enjoyed the high- light of the spectacle, the gladiatorial combats. Much effort was expended to add variety to these events, to surprise, delight, or shock the audience, with much success by all accounts. Spectators would come for the entire day or just a portion, depending on their tastes and other responsibilities. But watching the performers (or victims) was just one part of the lure of the spectacle; the games offered a wide range of opportunities for those in the stands to meet new and attractive people, to engage in conversation, to enjoy free handouts of food or prizes, and to protest or approve recent actions of the emperor or the state. For some, the games themselves were a sideshow for the main attraction, which was the formal gathering of the Roman people. For others, the Roman crowd was something to be avoided at all costs. Preparation and Pompa How was a spectacle set up? The preparation began some time in advance. The editor, if he did not own his own ludus or gladiatorial school (and most did not), contacted a lanista, one of the professionals in charge of ludi; in Rome and a number of regions of the empire, he could tap into the extensive resources of an imperial ludus, under the control of the emperor.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Staring into the Face of Roman Power: Resistance and Assimilation from behind the ‘Mask of Infamia’ A dissertation filed in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History by Jeffrey Allen Stevens 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Staring into the Face of Roman Power: Resistance and Assimilation from behind the ‘Mask of Infamia’ by Jeffrey Allen Stevens Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Ronald Mellor, Chair The power to define and characterize various groups, as well as those individuals commonly associated with them, remains one of the most effective ways to reinforce social hierarchy in almost any society through a justification of status, influence, and privilege based on identity. This dissertation represents an exploration of the power of social identity utilizing the framework of infamia (dishonor, ill-repute, disgrace, social stigmatization, civic disability) within the world of ancient Roman spectacle and entertainment. Such an analysis will illustrate how the Roman elite used the concept of infamia as something to define themselves against in order to augment their perceived moral and political authority. In an era of social turmoil and transformation, the gradual increase in the legal restrictions placed upon public performers in the late stages of the Republic suggests infamia was used as a social and political tool to reinforce the integrity of the ii traditional orders of elite Roman society.

I. Pallas and S. P. Dantes published an important gladiatorial epitaph from Corinth.1 The white marble stele, which is broken on the top and at the bottom corners, carries a shallow relief of a gladiator who stands facing the viewer. As J. and L. Robert observed, the gladiator is clearly a retiarius: he wears a galerus on his left arm and shoulder, and holds a dagger and trident in his left hand and a large palm branch in his right.2 His head, along with the point of his trident, however, has been lost due to the break in the stone. The relief is framed by the inscription which runs down the left side of the stone, across the bottom beneath the relief, and then down the right side. The beginning of the inscription on both the left and right side is missing where the stone is broken, as is the end of the inscription on the right side. On the left we can read the name of the deceased in the dative, DraÊkƒ, along with the standard commemorative exhortation, mne¤aw xãrin (xãrin is written horizontally beneath the relief). Draukos is a curious name and invites further inquiry. We shall return to it below. On the right we read the end of the name of his commemorator in the nominative, -]aw, and the office or offices he held, §pistãthw sek[.]u[-.

  • Gladiators: Hero
    BBC - History - Ancient History in depth: Gladiators: Hero... http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/romans/gladiators_0... Gladiators: Heroes of the Roman Amphitheatre By Professor Kathleen Coleman Last updated 2011-02-17 The ancient Romans are often seen as bringing civilisation to the western world, but they regarded the slaying of gladiators as a normal form of entertainment. Kathleen Coleman describes what went on, and examines the society that accepted such barbarity without question. Conscripts and volunteers Today, the idea of gladiators fighting to the death, and of an amphitheatre where this could take place watched by an enthusiastic audience, epitomises the depths to which the Roman Empire was capable of sinking. Yet, to the Romans themselves, the institution of the arena was one of the defining features of their civilisation. Gladiators ... were an expensive investment, not to be despatched lightly. Hardly any contemporary voices questioned the morality of staging gladiatorial combat. And the gladiators' own epitaphs mention their profession without shame, apology, or resentment. So who were these gladiators, and what was their role in Roman society? The Romans believed that the first gladiators were slaves who were made to fight to the death at the funeral of a distinguished aristocrat, Junius Brutus Pera, in 264 BC. This spectacle was arranged by the heirs of the deceased to honour his memory. Gradually gladiatorial spectacle became separated from the funerary context, and was staged by the wealthy as a means of displaying their power and influence within the local community. Advertisements for gladiatorial displays have survived at Pompeii, painted by professional sign-writers on house-fronts, or on the walls of tombs clustered outside the city-gates.
