I want to tell you about my new Circus Maximus comic. I've posted issue2 today and I am really enjoying it and I hope you will too. Along with the Spartans and Greeks before them, I believe the gladiatorial era in Rome created the seed for the modern superhero.
What I like about the era is that it really happened and it was probably more daring, brutal and absurd than in the history books ! Ridley Scott, the director of Gladiator movie said that the times were worse than had shown in the movie. Nobody knows the exact history but it was like anything goes with a ruler with absolute power. We know that women gladiators would certainly existed. We are still a little unsure about Christians being thrown to the lions. They used to throw religious extremists to the lions however. Perhaps it was the same thing !
