Enroll Your Virtual Gladiators and Beasts

How to Enroll: Have an entry or two for the next Ludi Munera Gladiatoria or Venationes games? Enroll your entries here. The Ludus is now open for patronage by all citizens of Nova Roma. We are one of four official Nova Roma gladiator schools for virtual characters of the Ludi, operated by the racing Factio Praesina. By entering your gladiators and animals, we will track your standings in the games. You will also be eligible for the coveted and prestigious Ludi Award Palms and Victory Banners.

Suggestions on Creating Characters: The games are a great way to learn more about Roman history through character creation:

• Pick an ancient Roman area (Gallia, Hispania, Thrace, Greece, Egypt, etc.)
• Pick a region in that area.
• Pick a tribe/town in that region.
• Research a little bit about that tribe and it's environment, culture, friends and enemies, industries, etc.
• Pick a name for your Gladiator, Chariot, Chariot Driver, and/or Wild Beast for Venationes that is reflective of all of this.
• Create a description of your Ludi character from all of this.
• When you have some spare time, do it several times again, creating several Gladiators, Chariots, Chariot Drivers, and/or Wild Beasts for Venationes. Remember, just like the real Ludi games, our NR characters get injured and even killed, then you need another one.
• As these characters enter and complete, you can improve the descriptions of them, based on their results.
• Keep all of your characters in a text file for easy reference.
• Register your characters with Ludus Praesinus by sending your character information to our Lanista, and we will maintain their career history wins and current points for the year.
