STORYLINE: Flamma was a legend in Rome. Originally a captured soldier from Syria, he was given a choice: be a slave and fight in the coliseum, or be free and executed. The Flame had a taste for battle. He fought 34 times and won all but 4 matches in a draw. The highest honor a gladiator can achieve is their freedom. He had won it long ago, but choose to keep fighting. 

Did you guys give a nice Roman Thumbs-Up for the Secret Affair's Gladiator round?  Yes, yes, so much excellence. Shown above to the right is the Stony Hollow Potter's Tent by Artisan Fantasy. It's a gacha set with 10 pieces. The Pony Palms are by The Little Branch. The Persian sit pillows are by Zerkalo, 2li and Dance Pit comes in adult and pg, 3li.   Flamma is wearing a brand new Kat skin by Tableau Vivant on sale for 300L at The Men's Department. The nice bold eyebrows looks great on the Mesh Project head! Also by Tableau Vivant is the facial stubble, and the Unkempt Hair on sale at Shiny Shabby. It worked pretty good for a Roman look combined with the hairbase by Unorthodox. The gold eyes are by Ikon. Hoplite cape by Pucca Firecaster. The Roman Helmet by Death Row.

STORYLINE: The senate was testing Caesar's patience. He commanded the ringleader of the troublemakers, Marcus Vinicius, to leave immediately on an "important" diplomatic trip to Egypt. The ornery senator refused to go unless his favorite gladiator, Flamma, served as his personal guard. Neither the stubborn senator, or the famed gladiator suspected the Emperor was sending them into a trap.

I love these armors by Lab737. I used it for my gladitor but it can easily work on post apocalyptic too! They are mod so edited them to fit on the Niramyth upper body. Yes, I did a frankenbody, but that was because of the various fits to each piece. It actually came together reasonably well, but it's not perfect, there is a slight gap where TMP body meets the Slink foot, and the Niramyth neck with the TMP head. But hey, I'm happy I could pull this off! The Roman Sandals by Death Row are sized to fit slink. The Roman Bottom by The Body Factory had no problem fitting the seam at the TMP lower and Niramyth upper. The Laus Store gacha hip armor is mod so I sized it to fit. The PFC Hoplite cape I need to rez on the ground because it bent oddly when worn in this pose. By the way, I made that pose for this post. It's been a long time, I'm a little rusty. I want to give a big thanks to Zee, of store Oxi, for making a Gladius sword for me for this post. Thanks Zee! The spear staff and shield are by May Soul. The spear and dagger racks are by Death Row. The Chariot, also by Death Row, comes in clean and bloody, pg and adult poses. Veni, vidi, vici!
