Just found this one on the BBC website, and I like it.

Try to dress each gladiator type according to their own armatura.

Now that was a fun little game.

I did well enough (or not so bad) to be sent to Gladiator school. Clearly I need to study more...

More importantly -- Thanks for the link. The main BBC page for Rome leads to several interesting articles. This could be a good intro resource for young students.

Thanks.

:wink:

Thanks!

Helmet, Cuirass, don't wear it 'cause my money purse is fat, white manica looking sharp looking for love they'll come cheerin', cheerin' like crazy, 'cause every spectator's crazy for a sharp dressed Gladiator

Sorry, bad joke I know.

Seriously, I've played that game before once my Gladiators did so well I got invited to dinner with the Emperor himself and we discussed imperial affairs. How cool is that? Smile
Ben.

Indeed a short game, but nicely done. At least better as some other educational stuff that is on the market. And indeed the other articles and animations on that site are also interesting.

Yep. I was invited, also. I tried to explain to the Emperor that he should deal fairly and generously with the Goths, but he wouldn't listen. Nothing good will come from that attitude. Sigh.

Yeah he did the same thing to me when I bought up the issue of religious tolerance. Oh, well.
