Four years ago I published an article for Ancient Warfare magazine about gladiators as soldiers. I'm still very proud of this article. You could get a back issue here:

American 'comedy' is so uber macho.

They are all right wing ciger wielding/penis extension co-dependent sewing circles of mean girl gossip.

I'm with Tony Soprano on this. I think right wing males should grow a pair and revert to the strong silent type.

Of course 'nobody could tell that joke today' victim mentality doesn't really hide the lack of a brain.

Lazy afternoon. Watching The Sea Beast. One interesting credit is "Mark Rhino Smith as Various".

Mark Rhino Smith is actually Mark Smith who was Rhino in Gladiators (UK), and who is now an actor and producer in LA.

I am proud that I was a guest at the German speaking history podcast Epochentrotter talking about my favorite topic: female gladiators. You can listen to the result now on all streaming services and via Epochentrotter's website:

I added some new 25/28mm #gladiators to my collection. They are all from Crusader Miniatures.

I now have 85 gladiators :)

We're it not for a strong #PlayersUnion the #NFL would've had their #Gladiators back to battling literally 5 minutes after the ambulance carrying #DamarHamlin left the field

A few standout #FootballInjuries come to mind this morning:

#Tua
#DevonWalker
#DarrylStingley
#RonnieLott
#JohnnyKnox
#JoeTheismann

Today saw an enthralling return to football viewing, ending a hiatus I started right after learning the #Saints had put injury bounties on opponents

Today's #Tulane #GreenWave victory included a #concussion grade collision that left 2 players motionless on the field

A few hours later in Cincinnati, 24 year old #DamarHamlin fell backwards in cardiac arrest following a normal intensity tackle

Does a healthy society truly need #Gladiators?

I am flabbergasted because I got today this nice Saturnalia present: it is a statuette of the goddess Nemesis from one of the Swiss gladiator group Ars Gladiatoria because they honor my support to them and my research in all things gladiatorial.

So, here comes my #introduction : Since 2005 I am active as a gladiator reenactor founding my own group in 2006 in Hamburg. Since moving to the South of the Netherlands, I am training with a group in Neuss. I fight in the classes of #provocator and #murmillo / #secutor.

Next to being an active fighter, I also did a lot of research on #gladiators especially on female ones. So, I am about to write a book about female gladiators, but that still takes some time.

(Very ancient #Roman day today, but) as #gladiators fought each other to the final breath and animals suffered violent deaths on #Rome’s Colosseum floor, #AncientRoman spectators were likely #snacking.

A recent archeological exploration of the #Colosseum’s sewers and water systems uncovered remnants of meat, vegetables, olives, nuts, and (yes), #pizza.

In February another piece written by me was published at the blog of Deutsches Kampfsportmuseum. It is about the important question if the gladiatura can be considered as sport:
