your life at the arena is soon ending.the roman empire is collapsing.how will you deal with it..?


Author's Note: you have been a gladiator all your life, brought in as an african slave in chains after roman conquest many years ago,a little child,taken away,forced to be a slave then sold to the circus by your master.now the might of Rome is declining.fast.you are hopeful but also confused.will they send you back as a slave.are you the free man now?what is really happening?how you gonna feed yourself?and what is this new religion everybody talks about invading the whole Roman empire it seems. so here I want to explore the PHYCHE of a slave in ancient rome,the PHYCHE of a gladiator,how was their lives really like?u know,the fights but more what nobody covers outside the fights.also I want to explore the turmoil and decline of Rome falling apart,how it also affected normal citizens,non-slaves,born roman citizens and so on,how they all "adjusted" and coped with their "Gloria mundi".lastly i want also as a believer to explore HOW and WHY Christianity affected Rome and how much it "contributed" to the downfall of the empire,challenging the order of things,status quo,eraducating roman mythology,this new Faith making its way all the way to the heights of power,to the chambers of the EMPEROR himself! This is another one of my FUTURE projects for 2025,maybe finished late of August. we will see,but as always I'm dead serious about making these.but it will be challenged by my other projects of mid/late 2025, namely the crusade and the other game so far,i mean I only have so much time and energy on my hands in a day so.yeah,but I probably will prioritize this one over the other two mentioned after my roman soldier and pirate game is finished during the summer. as my usual upfront honest "policy",tho most of my games contain a degree of some magic/spells/supernatural monsters/humans/events,you as a player and the NPC's in your company you CONTROL will NOT be able to wield it by turning the 5e of ! again thx alot for your time and attention,as always have a good one.cya guys. belit
