GARGLENES Training System

• The GARGLENES ludus features the very best
  trainers in all of Italia. Terentius Popillius,
  the famed Thraecian who beat 25 opponents in his
  career, was trained at GARGLENES and now works as
  the premier trainer for our gladiators.
• A rigorous training system prepares gladiators
  for the arena, training them in all areas of
  skill such as swordplay, endurance and weaponry.

Gladiatores
The GARGLENES ludus trains all types of
gladiators, but specializes in two types.

• Our famous Quinctius Sallustius is a Thraecian
  gladiator. The Thraex fights with ocrea (leg
  greaves), a small square shield, a galea (helmet)
  and a sica (scimitar).

• Calpurnius Durmius is a Myrmillo. A Myrmillo has
  a special galea decorated with a fish, manicae
  (wristbands), ocrea, and a gladius (sword).

A Gladiators Diet
Beans

• Gladiators need plenty of proteins and fat to
  keep them going in the arena
• They are fed a diet high in beans, specially
  cooked to avoid side effects.
• They also eat a special bread made of bean flour
  and wheat for protein.
• A gladiator eats 3,000 calories a day.
• Their diet is rich in oils, and some dairy
  products, but they never eat butter.

Our Medical Staff
Bone Hooks
Scalpels

• Our staff is trained by the prestigious
  Hippocrates School of Medicine. It teaches the
  newest and most advanced medical techniques of
  the day.
• We also have specialists who have trained as war
  doctors and are experienced in treating all
  injuries.
• Plastic surgeons fix and correct any facial bone
  injuries of our gladiators.
• When we operate on our gladiators, we make sure
  we have the most advanced tools, such as scalpels
  and forceps, and we also sterilize them by
  boiling.
• We always use anesthetics such as opium, henbane
  and mandrake.
