On the training of gladiators, @GuideGladiator says: "It’s a system called the Tetrad. It’s a four-day split, and it was originally devised by Greek trainers for the Olympics. But it was such a good system that it made its way into the Roman army." outsideonline.com/health/tra…

For my UK friends, Pompeii the new dig is now streaming on BBC iPlayer. A truly incredible project and brilliant show. #RomanEmpire #Pompeii #Gladiators #colosseum #History
Greatly Honoured to be the first historian to discuss these incredible new discoveries
In a fabulous new discovery—in the arches under a large staircase in the Region 9 excavations—a series of #gladiators are in perpetual combat.
Murmillo versus Thracian (armed with a curved sword) sketched in detail in charcoal alongside a stylised phallus painted in red
#Pompeii
ALT A rough grey unfinished plaster covers the inside of an arch. On it are the large black charcoal outlines of two gladiators in combat.

ALT Beneath the charcoal gladiator sketch is a red painted line in the figure of an 8 with a large appendage - a stylised phallus shape
ALT The three arches under a large staircase with a pile of building material - stone rubble, ceramic, tile - awaiting reuse and in one of the arches can be seen the red phallus and one set of gladiators

The go to guide for celebrities visiting Rome is a Scot from East Kilbride. Alexander Mariotti's passion for Roman history led him to set up home in the Eternal City.
Well speak to @GuideGladiator
