I decided to take some time off Twitter. The first day: epic withdrawal. Feels very weird. A little like being isolated from people, a little like dropping a train of thought.

Like today’s athletes, gladiators did product endorsements. Particularly successful gladiators (such as Maximus) would endorse goods in the arena before commencing a fight and have their names promoting products on the Roman equivalent of billboards. Although originally included in the script, this practice was later rejected as not a fact the audience would believe.
