13. Theokoles
Theokoles is a retired legendary Greek gladiator, known famously as the Shadow of Death.
Theokoles is a huge Greek albino gladiator with deathly pale skin and reddish eyes. His skin is covered with scars, supporting Varro's rumour that he has been cut 1000 times; in particular his face, across which there are two deep gashes, alongside his torso and arms. He has a tattoo on one shoulder, which was given to him by a band of pirates he served with for a time. Theokoles' albinism accounts for his pale skin, red eyes and photophobia, which allowed Crixus to easily blind him with reflected sunlight. He fights wearing very little armor, only adorning a balteus and wields two swords. His swords are much larger than standard gladii, a benefit to his massive size.

12. Marcus Attilius


When Marcus Attilius fought his first battle as a gladiator, he was just a young novice and was given the designation of “tiro” – a title given to a gladiator who was commencing his career. Usually, the organizers would pit gladiators of similar status and experiences together during these fights. But as fate would have it, Marcus Attilius was facing Hilarus – an imperial gladiator who had already fought fourteen fights and won twelve of them. Right when everyone was convinced Marcus did not stand a chance, this newcomer scored a thumping win against the veteran – staging an upset that earned him much admiration. Then rose, the legend of Marcus Attilius, who went on to defeat the likes of Raecius Felix – another fighter who had won twelve fights in a row.

11. Hermes
Not much had been documented on the life of ancient Roman gladiator Hermes. However, he earns lavish praise from a contemporary poet Martial – so much so that Martial even dedicated an entire poem praising his skills as a competent gladiator. In his poem, Martial describes Hermes as a skillful fighter who enjoyed an overwhelming superiority over other gladiators. On the second line of his poem in which each line begins with the name of Hermes, Martial describes the versatility of said gladiator. Hermes was well trained at using different weapons that the gladiators used in their fights.

Most of the gladiators chose a certain type of fighting style and train hard to master the relevant skills. Hermes was not only well versed in most of those fighting styles, but also proficient in at least three different gladiators techniques – a knowledge that gave him a huge advantage over his opponents.

10.Spiculus

Some of the more famous gladiators were on personal terms with the emperors they performed before, as in the case of Spiculus. Close friends with the infamous Emperor Nero, Spiculus received almost Hollywood-level star treatment, including wealth and property granted to him by his ruler. During his overthrow in 68 AD, Nero reportedly even asked for Spiculus to kill him, as an alternative to his eventual fate of taking his own life.

9. Priscus and Verus



Two fierce gladiatorial rivals, these men battled each other in the inaugural contest of the Flavian Amphitheatre in the 1st Century AD. The fight reportedly went on for hours, and ended only when both men conceded to each other and declared a draw. In response, the watching emperor Titus granted them the rudis, making it their last ever fight.

8.Crixus

Crixus was a Gallic gladiator who greatly disliked his Lanista (his owner and head at the gladiator school). Crixus soon escaped the school and fought in a slave rebellion against the Roman Senate. Crixus continued to rebel, even against the rebellion leader, and created his own rebellion group. He and his group set out to destroy Southern Italy. However, the Roman armies killed Crixus before he could get revenge on his oppressors.

7. Carpophorus

Specializing in Bestiarii, Carpophorus was the best gladiator who combated beasts. Most of the time, he would fight many creatures at one time. Carpophorus is known for taking down a bear, leopard, and lion during the same battle at the opening of the Flavian Amphitheatre.

6. Tetraites

Unknown by many, Tetraites was renowned across the Roman Empire. Historians found his battle accounts within graffiti in the ruins of Pompeii and on pottery found throughout the empire. These images tell of him fighting only with a sword, shield, and simple armor.

5. Emperor Claudius

Known as an extremely vain ruler, Emperor Claudius took the ring to obtain even more glory. He was known as a violent and cruel ruler. Although he did not receive lavish praise for his wins, Claudius continued to take the gladiatorial ring to fight in unfair match ups.

4. Mevia

One of the gladiator names known around the world is Mevia, one of the few female gladiators. Rather than being on equal ground as the male gladiators, Mevia was used as a novelty and was known for fighting wild animals with a spear. Having to do all this topless made her quite the spectacle during the gladiator battles.

3. Flamma

Flamma lived to fight in thirty-four battles, twenty-one of which he won. Although he only lived until thirty, he was offered the rudis four times. When a gladiator received the rudis, they were free to live as a normal Roman citizen. Flamma, the Syrian gladiator, chose to continue fighting and refused the rudis.

2. Commodus

Another one of the famous gladiator names is Commodus. He was known as being a narcissist. He believed he was the best and most important gladiator in the world, which is why he would battle other gladiators as often as he could.

Commodus likened himself to the mythological hero, Hercules, but mainly fought against gladiators with wood swords or animals. He did not accumulate many supporters due to his disrespectfulness and easy to win battles. Commodus was never officially invited to fight in the arena and was assassinated by fellow gladiators in AD 192

Celebrities › Famous Roman Gladiators in brief : Pics by Abbeylincson(op):
Going through tough, rough, sometimes to-the-death battles in ancient Rome, the gladiators were the superstars of the day. The battles brought in thousands of fans to the arenas; even powerful patriarchs graced these spectacles with their presence. Gladiators were traditionally purchased as slaves and given fancy gifts, even freedom, if they won enough victories. Given these crude circumstances the gladiators had many supporters who acknowledged their glory and fame outside of the arena as well as inside. Many of these gladiator names are still well-known .
1. Spartacus
A Thracian soldier, captured and sold into slavery, known as Spartacus is the most famous of the gladiators. The man who purchased him, Lentulus Batiatus of Capua had the intention of transforming Spartacus into a great gladiator. He did not know that Spartacus was not going to give up his freedom so easily.

In 73 B.C. Spartacus led a revolt with seventy other gladiators, including Crixus. Lentulus Batiatus did not survive the revolt and the escaped gladiators went to Mount Vesuvius, setting many other slaves free along the way.

Many Roman armies went after Spartacus and his new army of 70,000 freed slaves. In 71 B.C. Marcus Licinius Crassus was finally able to trap and kill Spartacus in Southern Italy

Romance › 17 Facts About Crying & Tears You May Not Have Known by Abbeylincson(op): 5:23pm On May 02, 2016
Everybody cries whether they’ll
freely admit it to others or not. The
reasons why we cry are multiple and
varied. Scientists, psychologists,
and anthropologists have studied
the topic in depth, and here are
some of their surprising findings.
1. People cry for three primary
reasons. When most of us think
about crying, Emotional tears come
to mind. Those are the horrible
sobbing tears or the merciful happy
ones. But there are two other types
of tears (both categorized as
“lacrimal”), Basal and Reflex. The
former type lubricates and cleans
eyes to protect vision. The latter are
associated with environmental
irritations like onions (via the
chemical irritant Syn-propanethial-
S-oxide) or pollen. Lacrimal tears
are essential to clean out debris so
you can see better

2. Crocodile tears qualify as an
unofficial 4th form of crying. These
fake tears are specific to people with
excellent acting skills, of course.
The term comes from the ancient
Greek anecdote about crocodiles
who fake-cry in order to deceive
their prospective prey. Crocodiles do
appear to produce tears, but this
may be due to their third eyelid,
which requires a great deal of
lubrication.

3. Even when you’re not crying,
your body generates 1-2 microliters
worth of tears. You don’t notice
most of this production as they are
blinked away as basal tears. Some
of the tears are even rerouted down
your throat while your body operates
on autopilot.

4. Your nose stops up when you cry
because excess tears come out of
your nose. Each one of your eyes
can only hold about 7 microliters of
tears, and a strong crying session
causes serious overflow. Those
extra tears flood the nasal
passages, which creates a runny
and/or stuffy nose.

5. A neurological condition called
Pathological Laughing & Crying
(PLC) can cause involuntary crying
at inappropriate times. The
condition can be caused by ALS,
Alzheimer’s disease, multiple
sclerosis, or a stroke.

6. In general, women cry more often
than men, but the true difference
may surprise you. The estimated
number of times a woman
emotionally cries is 50 times per
year. Men do it on average of 10
times per year … although they tend
to deny the act on many occasions.

7. Babies average about 1 to 3
hours of crying every day. The poor
creatures possess no other means
of communication, much to the
chagrin of their parents. Babies cry
for many reasons, including hunger,
discomfort, fatigue, discomfort, fear,
pain, loneliness, and genuine peril.
Any baby who cries for more than 3
hours a day for 3 weeks (and for no
reason at all) may have the dreaded
colic.

8. Crying is different in many
cultures. Although babies
universally cry to satisfy their needs,
each culture’s socialization
processes lead to different ways of
crying as an older child or adult.

9. Scientists believe that emotional
crying is a unique human
experience, but some people do
believe that animals can emotionally
cry. The case of Raju the crying
elephant only bolstered those
claims.

10. Scientists believe emotional
tears may be an evolutionary
adaptation. Tears can provoke
empathy or aid from other human
beings. They can foster a sense of
unity among a group of people
mourning the same loss. There’s
also a theory that predators could
have helped protect humans from
predators.

11. “Good” crying really can help
you feel better. Crying can be a
means to catharsis because it helps
you release tensions and come to
new peace or resolutions about the
reason behind the cry. Good cries
are often associated with another
person soothing the crier.

12. “Bad” crying can make you feel
even worse. Crying can make
people worse because of resulting
headaches (from dehydration and
tense muscles), dry eyes, and stuffy
noses. These side effects outweigh
cathartic benefits especially
amongst chronically depressed
criers who aren’t crying about one
specific thing.

13. The reasons for women crying
more often than men are largely
biological. Women have 60% more
prolactin in their bodies than men.
Prolactin is a protein that affects the
endocrine system, which may cause
women to cry more often than men.
Women also have smaller tear ducts
than men, which means their tears
more readily spill over and, thus,
are more visible than men’s tears.

14. The size of the tear disparity
between genders is often cultural.
Women in wealthier Western cultures
cry more frequently than women in
other countries. Simply put,
excessive emotional crying is a
first-world problem of sorts.

15. Tear ducts can become blocked,
causing complications. Blocked tear
ducts can result from aging, injury,
cyst, inflammation or a tumor. This
can paradoxically cause excessive
tearing and lead to infection of the
affected eye.

16. The different types of tears look
stunningly different under a
microscope. A Smithsonian
photographer illustrated how, for
example, onion-induced tears are
much more crystallized than
“happy” tears.

17. A woman’s tears send a
particular chemical signal to men.
One of the things this signal does is
it causes a dip in male sexual
arousal, which is an involuntary yet
interesting means of nonverbal
communication between the sexes.

Romance › 9 Reasons Why A Woman's Vagina Will Smell No 5 Will Shock You by Abbeylincson(op): 9:08am On Apr 25, 2016
The vagina has a distinct smell which is not a problem, as everybody has their own particular vaginal smell that is natural. Whether this natural smell is neutral or not, it is a matter of personal judgment. In fact, some women notice their odor when there is no notable odor detected by others. Even when you notice a difference in its smell, it is not necessarily an infection. That change may be linked to a specific moment of your menstrual cycle because the smell of your vagina can vary depending on the time of the cycle. However, if the odor changes and becomes strongly unpleasant, this change deserves attention because it is perhaps a sign of a serious vaginal infection. If left untreated, this condition may cause not only physiologic problems but also emotional stress which can make the person uncomfortable thinking the odor is detected by others.
Here are 9 reasons you should know cause smelly vagina so you can stop feeling self- conscious:
1. Excessive washing: Even if you’re just washing your vagina with warm water, excessive washing can still mess with the vagina’s flora, causing an odor.
2. Allergy to condoms: Some women are allergic to certain materials in condoms, which can throw off vaginal bacteria and cause odor.
3. Douching: This can mess with the pH levels of the vagina and even cause a large amount of bacteria to grow. There is good and bad bacteria that can be down there, but the bad bacteria can cause a strong smell.
4. Tight Clothing: Wearing very tight pants or underwear can cause your vagina to sweat, which can cause vaginal odor.
5. Spicy Food: Spicy food can cause a sudden increase in your vaginal discharge, which can cause vaginal odor.
6. Sleeping with underwear at night: According to reports, sleeping in the nude to air out the vagina is the best way to go
7. Laundry Detergent: Laundry detergent with perfume or fabric softeners can irritate the vagina, once again causing odor. Wash your underwear separately with unscented detergent.
8. Pregnancy: During pregnancy, many of vitamins and minerals are passed along to your baby, and this can throw off the pH levels in your vagina.
9. Sex: You may notice vaginal odors accumulating directly after sex.
