provincial gladiator

[Q. Vipsanivs Praetextatvs]

I agree that a retiarius from the province will look like a retiarius from the Rome region, but I think there were differences in gladiator combat between those regions.

First, I would think about typically local gladiator types, based on local (military) traditions. Another thing I really think is that the popularity of the different pairings would differ from province to province, so give another average day at the local arena.

Maybe the differences in gladiator combat depends of the school, not the region, that's more logical I think...
