It's time for the last event of the third Roman round! The Emperor and his unmarried siblings has gathered on their balcony to watch the third Colosseum fight - and for the first time, it's a gladiator fight! The gladiators has a special rule, that says they have to lose a total of three fights before getting killed.
You might recognize gladiator Marianus, the teen one. And who is he fighting? None other than his older brother, Tacitus Nixeira. They aren't brothers in more than name, since Tacitus was taken from the family as a child to work in the service of the Callarai family, where he's had quite a nice life. The Head of the Callarai's mother, Chinwe, started a secret relationship with him and this round, he married a slave named Martina and had a daughter. The question is if he'll survive the night to see any of them again.
The boys each take a deep breath, getting ready for what has to be done.
And then, they fight. Never had a fight start this quickly before - no slaps, pushes or anything, just straight on.
Growing up in a rich household has proved advantageous to Tacitus, who's had access to workout equipment, and therefore has the same amount of body skill as his gladiator brother. So believe it or not, but he wins! It seems like our mighty gladiator debut is a bit of a flop, but I do believe that the slaves growing up in the apartments won't stand much of a chance against them.
Now, what happens to Tacitus? Does he go back to the Callarai household? No! Since there is room for three gladiators in their household, he takes the spot of the third one. I have a feeling the mood between him and his brother won't be great when we return there next round...
Round 3 statistics:
Births: 7
Weddings: 1
Deaths: 3
Funny enough, the same amount of births and deaths as last round. Now we head for the fourth Roman round (also known as Round 16 if we count total rounds).
