Nausius Wedding Celebration Games

Greetings and felicitations, and welcome back to the Ludus Scutum Quercu, it is I, Dubious, the camp slave, who shall be your guide. Oh yes!
Oh Missus!  Stop messing about...
Oh, suit yourselves. ..

The Prologue

Nausius, sensitive son of Senator Quintus Whitmorus, has wed Lascivia the daughter of Senator Ludicrous Pompous.  As a dedication of the marriage a series of Gladiatorial bouts have been arranged between our Ludus and the Ostian Peakus Blindus Ludus.  Gangsters the lot of them.

The bride to be, Lascivia, personal vetted all of the Gladiators involved.  Even the female ones.  She is keen!

My master, Biggus Brutus has decided to try his luck in Ostia again.  Things have quietened down following the great scandal of a few months ago.  Flouring a chimp and using dwarf gladiators to make it look like a great ape seemed such a good idea at the time.  The Thracian Lanista Fartakiss is still annoyed about the chimp!

On with the games...

My new 20mm Gladiators from Newline Designs

Our "stable."

Thorinus the Thracian, Regius Minimus, Prince of Dwarves.  Our primus gladiator. 
Balinus the Secutor
Sinister the left handed Retarius
Gracia Bibendum, the Ethiope, is that really a woman?


The Ostian Gangsters stable

Brawnius
Condomus
Judah Ben Horse
Swiftus Dikkus.

The Bouts

The first bout Swiftus Dikkus against Grace Jones... sorry Gracia Bibendum, the clash of the Thracians...

Gratzia with three nines!  Ambulance for Swiftus.

It becomes a chase.

And down he goes, no longer so swift

The second bout Retarius Judah ben Horse against Balinus the Secutor

"But I know this man!". Judah gets stuck in.

Balinus is netted and put down.  Not what my Ludus wanted to see!

Third bout, the criminal Maximus Lardus, a former soldier condemned after a drunken brawl.  Condomus of the Blindus Ludis drew the lot to fight the bout.

Lardus was condemned for his bristling moustaches.  Condomus over matches him.

But it goes the distance.  Biggus Brutus makes an offer to buy Maximus Lardus.

Lastly the headline event

The brutal Brawnius the Murmillo against Thorinus the Thracian

Thorinus goes in full steam with a charge.  He takes three hits out of Brawnius.

But this too looks like it will go the distance.

And our winner, Condomus.  Turns out he was well protected.

The Ludus Brutus has lost two won one and bought a criminal with a moustache.
