Full blown combat or display only?

[Salvianus]

Ave!

I dont know if any of you remember when some of us joined to the legios once in 2006. I think there were around 8 additional gladiators armed with scutum and gladius(dulled) against all the barbarians. On our side we had a few original legionary.

salvianus frater salutem

I must have missed that (Comitatus were in town at Barley Hall, but were not able to participate officially). It sounds terrific: it reminds me of the game Rome Total War - send in the gladiators!
