Besides Gladiator is there any major Roman films?

I know there is many Greek films. But as far as I know the only major Roman movie is Gladiator.





I mean Gladiator is awesome but it left me wanting more similar stories. I loved all the greek movies like 300 and Troy among others but is there any other Roman films?|||Spartacus


Ben Hur


Cleopatra|||ben huhr|||Spartacus

WHITE STRAPPY GLADIATOR STYLE WOMEN'S FLAT SANDALS


Man Made Materials


Sandal straps measure .33 inches wide, at widest point. Shoe sole measures 0.25 inches thick. Shoe heel is 0.5 inches high.


Unlike most gladiator sandals, the straps on these are soft, not hard like others. Straps are solid white.


Sandal has 3 buckles to adjust tightness around the ankle, but once adjusted, use the convenient zipper at the back of the shoe to slip them on and off.


Slightly cushioned insole, with a textured PVC outsole for grip and traction.

Are gladiator sandals popular in Paris during the summer? What about low top converse?

Help! going to paris in august, don't want to look like a tourist!|||I see a lot of Parisian women wearing gladiators. I'm not a fan but if it rocks your boat...yes, Converse are ( too ?) popular, a bit trite. Anyway, wear what you wanna wear. Who cares? Have fun on your trip.|||definatly not!!!! You'll look like a UK tourist :) but converse are very popular in france.

What is the purpose of a gladiator beast deck?

I want to build one, but i do not understand why its so good, and how to operate one, can someone give me an example of a world champ G-Beast deck? |||Okay, I'm kind of good with GB so heres some examples:





1. Once they attack (and not destroyed) you can swap that GB with another one in your deck + effect is activated.





2. Sometimes Great Advantage Sometimes Not......... such as:


Advantage:


Winning by there Swapping + Effects





Disadvantage:


Losing with there Swapping + Effects of not how to use it.





3. Best Fusions - Just like Contact Fusion, you just need the right material monsters on your field, and you can put them in your deck, shuffle, and bring out the right Fusion Monster.








Hope that explains everything! |||.... basecly get 3 of each and every gladiator beast that includes the effect of summoning one from your deck when it attacks or is attacked.


3 of both fusions would be nice. and try to get 2/3 of each spell card that has to do with gladiator bests then you will see why they are as good as they are and then you can build your own Gladiator Beast deck without having to copy the world champian deck. you could just look up cards that have to do with it as well thats all im going to say to you bye =)|||3 things. Number 1, they're so versatile because you can switch them out after you attack or get attacked, and pull out the one best suited to the situation. Two, Heraklinos. It pretty much reads you're opponent can't activate spell or traps. Three, Gyzarus. Destroying 2 monsters is pretty rigged, and you can take spells and traps too. The contact fuse.

Is it okay to wear gladiator sandals if you have bigger feet than normal?

I don't want my feet to look bigger.|||Hey there,





Thanks for your question.





My girlfriend was looking for something online which would have all the info on sandals and what looks good with what outfit. Lol she goes crazy with this site, checks it out all time whenever she thinking about wearing sandals.





Anyway, I saw this question at random and I thought maybe I can help a little.





Hope this helps.|||Yeah it's fine, just make sure that they are not too small as if they are the leather will cut into your feet and really hurt.|||if you can find them in your size and you feel comfortable wearing them .. then yeah

What is the difference between gladiator and ultimate fighting championship?

they are both in a area where they can't escape


the audience scream bloodlust


the fighter can get injured seriously (well in ultimate fighting championship, people don't die)


but what is the difference between those sports?|||Gladiators started out as Slaves and had no choice about their occupation. Failed gladiators could be put to death at the will of the audience - otherwise not much difference, except fighting styles.|||ufc is much better.|||Gladiator: Fight to the death.


UFC: Winner decided by knockout, TKO, submission, or by decision.|||People don't die in the UFC, murder is not as acceptable as it was in Rome. Gladiators also used armor and weapons.





I'm not sure whether or not they had actual rules in the coliseum, but I'm willing to bet they were more code of honor type of rules, than combative rules.





UFC fighters are volunteers, Gladiators were usually slaves who were forced to fight for amusement, or they were promised freedom upon victory. However both fight and fought for fame, glory, money, and perhaps even the competitive spirit.








In the UFC, great care is taken to look after a fighters health and well being during the fight. UFC fighters can make a career out of fighting.


If you were a Gladiator and lasted more than a couple of matches, you were phenomenal. Life expectancy of a Gladiator was very very short.

Does a formal party dress and a gladiator high-heeled sandals match?

So, on the 18th day of December, we're going to have our Christmas Party. My mom is insisting me to wear a formal party dress [to be specific, it's above the knee-high and it's gold] paired with a gladiator high-heeled sandals. Does this things match? Please answer this As soon as possible. I need answers before December 16, 2009. PHILIPPINE TIME. =) thanks.|||is the 'formal' dress like a summer dress? it sounds like its not to me, so dont wear the heels. find simple heels so your golden dress will stand out. :)|||No, don't do that. Just wear a pair of black heels, or gold, or red.. you could really do a lot of colors if it is just a plain gold dress.|||in my opinion, no. if it was like a simple little sundress, then yeah.|||No, never - galdiator sandals can NEVER be used with formal attire; it would look ridiculous.|||I really don't think so. You would be better off with gold pumps, or if it were me, I would wear a strappy gold sandal with a four inch stiletto heel. But wear a heel that you are able to handle.|||I think it will look good, I am wearing this to my moms Christmas party but my dress is black and I am going to wear a lot of pearls with it and gladiator heels.

What's a card that can completely shut down a gladiator deck or a black wing deck?

These are the two I have the most problems with as they swarm all over the place.





Can anyone tell me a card or cards that can shut them down?





I know Vanity's fiend works, but if you have it out on the field you can't special summon any monsters.





So please tell me.|||Royal oppretion and skill drain. Nails them hard. Especially Royal for Blackwings

Try wearing a short dress or medium-length skirt with them.|||%26lt;3 them!!!|||i h8 them though they r comfortable|||I do like them! They're really cute with a Bohemian outfit, but they tend to be paired with long flowy skirts, which AREN'T in anymore! Try pairing them with a flowy top and a pair of white capris and matching white beads to lighten the outfit. Try not to go for dark brown jewelry, because then the outfit will just be too dark.





Gladiator heels are also very cute. Just make sure the dress/outfit you pair with it is not glittery/shimmery, as the two do not look good together. Gladiator can always be lightened with a cute white sundress!





Hope it helped! :)|||I don't care for them or the garden looking sandals.|||i like them wear them with jeans skirt anything cas not too sressy


and yes they are comfy|||i like them

Would a pencil skirt look good with gladiator heel?

Would a black pencil skirt look good with black gladiator heel and a purple blouse to have dinner and then go out to the club?|||Yes, if you're going for the kind of "sexy-professional" look. I don't know how long the skirt is, but make sure it's not too short or it might look trashy with heels.|||Gladiators seem a bit harsh for that sort of outfit. If you feel like taking a serious dare, go ahead, but if I were in your shoes I'd probably pick black flats or simpler heels (you know, with lesser straps) instead of gladiators.

Is it wrong to stage gladiator type competitions in the shower when my relatives visit?

We buried my Uncle Herbert last weekend. He really should have accepted the helmet that I offered him.|||No. Good old Uncle Herbert and all the rest should have some personal responsibility.





Course by decorum that's the wrong kind of tourney to be running in the shower. Gladiator is for the back yard. The shower is home to the coed invitational and American Idol. You know, usually. You gotta use your own judgment if Stephen Tyler is ok in your house.|||Of Course Not ! So that's what your calling "play time " in the shower !

I own a pair and i wear them with shorts, jeans, skirts, EVERYTHING. They're super comfy and can be dressed up or down|||Gladiator shoes look good with ANYTHING. They are super cute and they are SO comfortable. You should really get them. They are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!|||I'm sure the level of comfort depends on the particular sandal. In my opinion, they are hideous. They visually shorten your legs and make them appear heavier... As for Disney World, any comfortable shoe is appropriate. You don't need to dress up -- wear shorts with sandals or sneakers. But comfort is key-- you will be doing a lot of walking! Have fun.|||i like them i have them in black and silver and they are comfortable|||I love them. Depending on what pair you get, they can be comfortable or not. Try a few different ones on. They are worth getting because they go with everything and you can wear them even when you're not in Florida.


Also, I've been to Disney World in Florida and as long as they are comfortable, you will be fine. It will be hot there and they wont make your feet to hot.

How do I defeat gladiator beast Heraklinos?

Every time I activate a card, my opponent negates and destroys it by discarding a card from his card. It would take forever for me to get him to throw out all his cards. Is there a way to defeat Heraklinos?|||Yeah, it's called effect monsters. Heraklinos can't negate monster effects so that's it's weakness.








Also, counter trap cards cannot be countered by Heraklinos because they are spell speed 3 and Hera is only speed 2.








The best monsters to take down Heraklinos with are:





* Snipe Hunter


* Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter


* Gravekeeper's Guard


* Penguin Soldier


* Raiza the Storm Monarch


* Caius the Shadow Monarch


* Zaborg the Thunder Monarch


* Gale Lizard


* Wall of Illusion


* Man-Eater Bug


* Old Vindictive Magician








The best traps to take out Heraklinos are:


* Divine Wrath








Seriously, if you don't know how to take down something as simple as Heraklinos, you don't deserve to be playing this game. The card practically has "kill me with monster effects" written all over it.|||Gladiator Beast Heraklinos is by far one of the best GB that cripples your opponent's deck. The Gyzarus-Heraklinos combo would really finish off any deck (if they recover from it, then what luck!). I know that a Heraklinos rising from this combo would pretty much end the game (really). Oh yeah, don't forget the all-powerful Chariot-Heraklinos with Equeste coming out (another crazy lockdown). I'm naming all this so that you can find a way to loop around it.


Monster Effects are the answer (already mentioned it before but the "crazy lockdown" would screw these effects over).


Cards: Metagame deck key cards!


Ex. Dark Armed Dragon, Judgment Dragon, etc.


Also, negate it's summoning by using Solemn Judgment. Another solution is making the opponent top-deck in order to let him choose to play that card or to just wait and use Heraklinos' effect. So, make him/her use/discard his/her cards because I don't think GB decks have some kind of drawing engine.


Anyways, good luck man.|||first of all get the card exchange . i'm going to tell you what the card does later. So ok in order to summon gladiator beast herakilnos your opponent needs gladiator beast laquari so this is what you do. so use exchange . this is what it does. summon it and your and your opponent show your hands. then you pick a card from your opponents hand and your opponent picks a card from your hand . so put exchange in face down mode . then when your opponent has the monster use exchange .

Why do people not run ancient forest in a Gladiator Beast Deck?

It seems like a good card to run, but no one runs it in competitions. Why is this so?|||Because they don't need it, and it also doesn't really help at all. You don't want to lose any Gladiator Beast to anything, including battle. Ancient Forest doesn't stop the attack, so your Glad Beast still dies. Sure, afterward, their monster dies too, but you've still lost a Glad, which is probably more important to you than your opponent's monster was to them. Dimensional Prison is a much better option, even though it only stops one attack, it keeps your Gladiator Beast safe, which is what's really important.|||That's actually a pretty good idea.





Ancient Forest would activate, then the glad beast would chain it. Then, the glad goes first and special summon other glad, and ancient forest would have no target.|||Think of it this way, the card alone is basically a double edge sword. When the card is in play monsters can not be in defence mode and they can't really attack unless they are willing to loose a monster after battle. Think of it as a long term version of After Genocide. However there are tips on using this card effectively. Take a look at the link below.|||Makes the deck too slow, there are much better cards to run

Where can I find an example of a Roman Gladiator fight advertisement?

I am looking for a picture or text of what a common poster would look like. I know the Romans put up flyers like this in the forum describing who was fighting, when, where, etc. Any links to a picture or text of what one of these would look like would be appreciated. Thanks!|||You may contact universities found in Rome. It sounds a bit crazy, but if anyone has preserved them, it would probably be archives at the universities. If you are able to contact them, they will take a digital picture of it and send it to you via email.





You may also want to contact the Smithsonian. Even though they specialize in American history, they do have excellent rapport with other countries and their collections.

How to succesfully run Royal Oppression in a Gladiator Deck?

I have Royal Oppressions in my side deck and if I ever side them in what would be a good way to play it without hurting myself too badly? I figured I'd play it after summoning something like Heraklinos.





Any tips?|||Don't run it. All it does is mess up your own deck and help whatever deck you're playing against (mostly Blackwings, with the Vayu-Oppression combo). Plus, if you bring out Heraklinos and then use Oppression, and then your opponent plays Smashing Ground, you basically lose. Never run Oppression in Glads, and don't even side-deck it. It doesn't work in that deck. By the way, I run Blackwings, and my friend runs Glads. Whenever I get out Oppression, it completely screws up my friend's deck and he'll usually lose unless he draws an MST or Heavy Storm or something like that. I hope this helps!|||Do not run Royal Oppression because then it will ruin your deck. Gladiator beast decks base around taging for more Glads and special summoning them, then your oppenont can chain and destroy.

















Hope this helps


cooper|||I've seen decks played with Oppression and Trap Stun, but that could be a bit too risky. I haven't tried it but it doesn't hurt to try. :]

Historiographical analysis on roman gladiator games?

I need to write a historiographical analysis about the roman gladiator games, that contrasts two historians views of the event. I am having trouble figuring out what question I should try and ask in the paper, and what aspect of gladiatorial games to look at in depth. Can anyone offer some suggestions?|||Here are two contrasting views, not from Roman historians but from key historical figures and writers.





Seneca, Nero's tutor took a strong view against the games, from a moral standpoint, and saw them as corrupting, see 1st link,





On the other hand, Martial, a poet who wrote in praise of Domitian, also wrote gushing poems in praise of (Domitian's) games, 2nd link.





The morality of the games is maybe something to explore. On one hand you have Seneca's disgust at the games, on the other Martial praising them to the skies.... it gets a bit tiresome when you read too many of his poems. Seneca was a philosopher, Martial was an imperial propagandist, writing poems to win favor with Domitian.





Somewhere in the middle you have the reason why the games existed: as a safety valve for the fire and passion that burned in the Roman populace, letting them vent their passion at the games and not against each other. Also, bringing slaves and wild animals from across the Roman empire served as a reminder of Rome's supremacy.|||Inaugural games of the Flavian Amphitheatre

How movie Gladiator showed the rise and fall of the Roman Empire?

Please can you explain from the start to end because i have some problems with history|||The movie starts out at the apex of the Roman Empire. It isn't really a linear history. It is a movie about a few different stories all crammed into one simple storyline. There really was an emperor named Commodus, and he really was a punk. He actually changed the name of Rome to Campus Commodus, or in modern English: Commodus town. What balls!


So anyway, the good Emperor Marcus Aurelius had conquered the world, and now he was getting ready to turn the Empire into a democracy, though technically a republic since it would be governed by elected officials in the Senate. But I digress.


When Commodus took over, he ruled horribly, and couldn't solve any of the problems the people were facing because he'd always lived in a palace where problems were merely imagined in the abstract the way we imagine algebra problems in our heads. He knew all about being fed, nothing about being hungry. He debased the common people by giving them gladiator tournaments and performances in the Coliseum. The people were not ennobled by these things, they were made more savage and less refined. There is a legend of a slave who became a gladiator who slew the emperor, but I don't think the emperor was Commodus. And I don't thing the slave was the former General of the Roman Army. But it makes for a nice Hollywood story, some truth patched together with a lot of dramatized fiction. I don't know if this helps at all, but Rome certainly wasn't built in a day or burned in a day.|||I wouldn't say that it really showed the rise of the roman empire, but it briefly showed rome during the reign of caesar augustus and then mostly concentrated on the reign of Commodus. I am pretty sure that the script is partly fiction.

What was the name of that old Sierra biking gladiator game?

In it, you were some sort of gladiator and you flew around in a stadium on a flying bike. The goal was to either knock your opponents off of their bikes or to steal their bike... I can't quite remember... and it is possibly not a Sierra game... thanks in advance!|||Sierra's gladiator BMX

it's a good bike with a brilliant and forgiving (for beginners) gearbox, it handles very well and it gives u a big bike feel.

Would Gladiator sandles with a vibrant color tunic dress be appropriate to wear to a wedding shower?

I am the maid of honor, and want to look cute, not underdressed!|||Not if the tunic is cotton. I think that would look too casual. Dress it up with some fancy jewelry and you're good to go. :)

Maybe not these exact pieces as I was in a rush, but hopefully you get the idea. :)|||Gladiator sandals are very masculine, so you will want something that equals out. Dresses are a no no because dresses are all feminine, and you'll just look extrememy mismatched.


Best bet? Dark denim shorts with a graphic tank top and a simple and girly hairdo because then you'll be blurring the line between girly and masculine.


Pants and capris don't work as it'll look too OTT.

Germany[NoDayButToday]2010|||some dark denim shorts or even a walking short would look really cute. A flowy skirt or a cute casual dress would also look fantastic.

In yu-gi-oh does a gladiator beasts' effect that lets it return to the deck to summon it work if destroyed?

In the yugioh card game there are gladiator beast monsters that when they do battle with another monster. At the end of the battle step, They can be returned to the deck to summon another gladiator beast from their deck. If the gladiator beast is sent to the graveyard by battle can you still send them back to the deck? I have a friend who uses them and we're not sure if the effect would only work if it survived the battle or no matter what.|||Gladiator Beasts cannot tag out if they are destroyed by battle. They must be protected by cards like shrink, waboku, book of moon etc. They can only tag out if they survive until the end of the battle phase.

How do you wear gladiator sandals?

...without looking like a gladiator? I find shorts/skirts need to be on the shorter side or the pants/leggings need to be skinny and longer to look right. The capri or mid-dress length doesn't seem to go. I'm unsure about whether I'm doing it right. Pics would be helpful! Thanks.|||ugh, i hate gladiator sandals. i like wedges now, they are more in than gladiators are.


if you like them a lot, then i say wear them with skinny jeans. that's how i used to wear them and i didn't look like a gladiator, lol.

How should gladiator sandals fit your feet?

I bought some uber cute ones today, but I am afraid I got the wrong size. How should they properly fit?|||Glads do take some time to get the feel of on your feet. I usually wear a 10m but I got mine in a 9 1/2m. They don't give quite as much support as a regular shoes so the fact they fit a bit tighter make them feel like my foot is not going to slip around in them. But if you get a small size make sure your toes don't hang over the ends

Why does the new robin hood movie just seem like a gladiator part 2?

they should have at least had russel have long hair and nott look identical to gladiator. The whole movie looks like gladiator 2?


your thoughts...


why not come up with a fresh name and characters if they are going to revamp it so much. thats not robin hood ? I'm a crowe fan but this movie looks stupid.|||This is a prequel that I thought was very well done. It's the origin of how Robin Hood becomes an outlaw.
