	As the crowd takes their seats, the opponents for the next match are brought out. The iron gates open and Caesarion the Retiarius comes forth to the delight of the crowd! He is carrying the traditional trident, dagger and net. True to form, he is wearing the extended manica and without the protection of a helmet. With a face like that, he needs a full face guard! Scary! He is carrying a dagger, but not the standard pugio. He is carrying the Dacian dagger, which has a square guard with four blades. You don’t see that very often. He is used to fighting two Secutores at one time from the pons. There is no pile of stones to throw today!		As the crowd takes their seats, the opponents for the next match are brought out.

	= Finals =		= Finals =
		+
		+
		+	Salvete omnes!
		+
		+	This is Lucius Aemilius Flaccus, reporting to you live from the Colosseum, where we are about to watch the Finals of the Munera Gladiatoria of the Ludi Romani 2767 a.u.c.!
		+
		+	Today’s events will feature the victors of yesterday’s Semi-Finals Matches:
		+
		+	Representing Factio Praesina from the Ludus Praesinus is Caesarion the Retiarius – one wild beast on the sand!
		+
		+	His opponent, representing Factio Albata and the Ludus Albatus, we present again Verus the Murmillo – a calculating and precise implement of destruction!
		+
		+	Both competitors are recovering from injuries received in yesterday’s matches, but they are tough—as tough as armored ballistae!
		+
		+	The crowds are here for this afternoon’s event, and they have come out from every corner of the city for this one! No one is staying home today! They are all attempting to beat the heat, but the sunshine is beautiful...absolutely beautiful!
		+
		+	There is a certain air of victory in the air...you can just smell it!
		+
		+	We are coming to you live from the Colosseum, here in the Eternal City and in just moments, according to the labellum, or program for you celts, we are about to start this exhibition of ruthlessness and skill.
		+
		+	And now, a word from our sponsors...
		+
		+
		+	'''''Today’s Finals Exhibition is brought to you in part by the Palace Realty of the Palatine. Need a new home that fits your style? We have refurbished estates that were recently obtained by the tax collectors for non-payment of fines to the magistrates. We offer a selection of extraordinary homes, fit for a Consul! Of course, Palace Realty offers only the highest quality of residences for those with the correct political favor.'''''
		+
		+
		+	Hello, this is Lucius Aemilius Flaccus, returning to you live inside the Colosseum with live coverage of today’s Finals match of the Munera Gladiatoria of the Ludi Romani 2767 a.u.c.
		+
		+	Wait...I’m getting word that the opening ceremonies are about to begin, YES, here they come now onto the sand!
		+
		+	The pompa is now entering the arena. Twelve Lictors are leading the Consuls, Sta. Cornelia and C. Aemilius, and their official delegations in...wow that bobblehead we purchased yesterday really bears a striking resemblance to the Senior Consul. I really should have bought more than one, as these things are really likely to become collector’s items!
		+
		+	Next, we see the tubicen band playing a military styled fanfare. I’m not sure, but I think that is a new one...
		+
		+	Next we see the Pontifex, Cn. Cornelius Lentulus, who will be performing the opening sacrifice and prayer prior to the commencement of the games. He is also attended by a group of cultores, carrying images of the gods to “witness” the proceedings of today’s games...
		+
		+	Next we see L. Ulpius Atellus, scriba to the Aedilis curulis, who will be recording the proceedings of the games today, followed by Ti. Cassius Atellus, also on the Aedilis curulis staff, carrying the victory palm, as well as what we believe to be a very small chest, no doubt carrying coinage of the Respublica to be awarded as a monetary prize to the victor. Those guys don’t get much, but every little bit helps them to buy their freedom...so they say!
		+
		+	Next come the members of Legio XXI Rapax, from Pannonia, carrying the weapons and armour to be used in today’s matches. XXI Rapax is the honored legio today...
		+
		+	Now comes a troupe of dancers and musicians from the Ostian Guild of Flautists and Harpists. They made it in town earlier this morning...
		+
		+	We can see the gladiator coming in now! The crowd is in a rage, ready for action! The Russata fans are here to cheer for the Albatans! How strange...but, anything to revenge the embarrassment with Praesina yesterday! The Reds are waving white flags and yelling down with the Grass-Cutters!
		+
		+	Pontifex Lentulus has just completed the opening ritual and the Aedilis curulis is now announcing the first match....Amazing how Pontifex Lentulus in no way resembles that Lentulus guy yesterday...you know, the one with the bubbleheads...I mean, bobblehead figurines...Anyway, let’s listen.
		+
		+	Aedilis Vitellius rises, and the gladiators take their place in the center of the arena. The Aedilis introduces them to the crowd, which erupts in magnanimous joy. The Aedilis curulis signals for them to start, and the match begins...
		+
		+	Verus the Murmillo and Caesarion the Retiarius waste no time. Both immediately charge each other, and the melee is ON!
		+
		+	Caesarion is working that trident as hard as he can, but the Murmillo defends each blow with the skill of a profession fighter.
		+
		+	Caesarion goes for a net throw early on, but Verus reflects it with his scutum...
		+
		+	Now, Verus attempts a deadly thrust onto Caesarion, but it misses as well. Both are screaming at each other, but we cannot make out what they are saying. It looks like they are both trying to verbally assault each other into submission. VERUS ATTACKS! He has cut one of the straps of Caesarion’s manica. This could prove to be a problem...
		+
		+	Caesarion, no amateur, makes his way around the arena, fending off the attacks of the Murmillo and keeping his armoured arm back out of harm’s way. VERUS ATTACKS AGAIN! This time, with no luck. The gladius is deflected by the Retiarius’ trident.
		+
		+	OH MAN! Caesarion throws the net and Verus is entangled, but he rotates and continues to deflect Caesarion’s trident with his scutum. Verus is working the net off...and...he gets free from the Retiarius’ web of danger.
		+
		+	Caesarion bends dwn to get the net and...OHHH...He launches it again at the Murmillo like a whip. It does not good. Verus is still well in the game.
		+
		+	Verus is now moving in a circular pattern studying his opponent. He moves slowly, anticipating the moves of the Retiarius....
		+
		+	BAM! He charges hard at the Retiarius and tags him with the scutum, but he does not inflict any damage.
		+
		+	Caesarion stops moving and makes a “Come and take it!” motion at Verus. Verus accepts the challenge and Caesarion meets him mid-way and they clash! Caesarion has the Dacian dagger and is working it hard against Verus. Verus receives several stabs from the Retiarius’ dagger...he is bleeding, but it does not seem to be affecting his performance today. OHHHH! VERUS CONNECTS! THE RETIARUS HAS BEEN HIT WITH VERUS’ GLADIUS IN THE SIDE!
		+
		+	Caesarion backs away to safety. Both are losing blood, but this doesn’t top the match. Verus charges again and the two clash! CAESARION TRIPS HIM WITH THE TRIDENT! VERUS FALLS! Caesarion launches the net and Verus is entangled! He’s working frantically to get free! Caesarion goes for the win with the dagger, but Verus leg sweeps him and Caesarion falls to the ground!
		+
		+	Verus has no rolled on top of Caesarion and is attempting to transfer the net to his opponent!
		+
		+	Caesarion grabs a hand full of sand and throws it in Verus’ face. Verus disengages and backs off, just long enough for Caesarion to get out of the net and recover himself.
		+
		+	Verus goes for his gladius and scutum, but Caesarion launches the net and trips him! Verus is down again! Caesarion runs like a wild man and throws the trident! It misses! Verus is working his way out of the net! He gets loose, grabs the trident and throws it at Caesarion! It misses! Caesarion charges the Murmillo and kicks him in the side, rolling him like a ball! Verus recovers and, just as he is getting up, Caesarion tackles him. They are in an old-fashioned street fight right here in the sand! The crowd is up and going wild! Verus breaks loose and moves back, recovering his gladius! Caesarion reaches for his trident! He throws the trident in a swift and calculated move toward his opponent. The trident flows like a summer breeze straight at Verus’ chest! BUT WAIT! Verus, in a move so quick that we almost missed it, brings the gladius up and the tines hit the blade of Verus’ Gladius and the trident falls to the ground!
		+
		+	In one single motion, Verus deflects the trident and then throws the gladius at Caesarion! The gladius hits Caesarion with unbridled force and wounds him in the chest. The blade has not stuck, but from the sound of the pommel strike, Caesarion has a cracked rib or two. HE’S DOWN-CAESARION IS DOWN!
		+
		+	Verus runs over, picks up the gladius, and places it at the base of Caesarion’s neck! IT’S OVER! It...LOOKS LIKE VERUS HAS WON! OHHHH! Leg sweep by Caesarion and now they are both on the ground, wrestling for victory! They are fighting each other for the gladius! Caesarion wrestles it from Verus and places him in a headlock! The old Sleeper hold! Veru is fighting to get loose, but Caesarion is not giving in!
		+
		+	Verus is dazed and Caesarion puts him down! VERUS IS DOWN! Caesarion gets up, grabs his trident, anticipates the recovery...BUT IT DOESN’T HAPPEN! VERUS IS DOWN FOR GOOD! HE’S LOST TOO MUCH BLOOD TO FIGHT ANY LONGER! CAESARION IS HOLDING THE TRIDENT TO HIS BACK! THE CROWD HAS CHOSEN!
		+
		+	CAESARION WINS IT! THE AEDILIS CONFIRMS IT! IT’S OVER PEOPLE, IT'S OVER! WE HAVE A VICTOR!
		+
		+	The medics are now moving into the arena to attend to Verus. Caesarion moves to accept his victory palm...but wait...there seems to be some confusion and arguing amongst the Lanistae. The Aedilis is conversing with them and shaking his head no. We will just have to see what the problem is.
		+
		+
		+	(pause)
		+
		+
		+	Okay, it appears that the Albatus Lanista felt the match was over when Verus had Caesarion on the ground. The Praesina Lanista argued the opposite. The Aedilis confers with the posh and fashionable Senator Fabius, an expert in the gladiatorial field. The Aedilis breaks away and briefly says something to the Lanistae. Aedilis Vitellius has made the final decision and it is...CAESARION!
		+
		+	Aedilis Vitellius presents the gladiator with his spoils of victory and...oH NO!...The Russata fans are making a scene in the stands! They are picking fights with Praesina! Lovely! Here we go again!
		+
		+	Well, Everyone, That’s it! That’s the finals of the Munera Gladiatoria of the Ludi Romani 2767 a.u.c.!
		+
		+	Preasina wins it under the strength, skill and dexterity of
		+
		+
		+	===CAESARION THE RETRIARIUS===
		+
		+
		+	Owned by the domus of Sexta Laelia Macra! There will be celebrations of GREEN all night here in the Eternal City!
		+
		+	This is Lucius Aemilius Flaccus signing off and saying, “We’ll see you the next time here in the Colosseum!”
