    Gladiator in Londinium

    You are a gladiator in Londinium, a grubby boomtown on the edge of the Roman Empire. Tangle with terrifying opponents, dodgy doctors, fickle fans and icy aristocrats. Make the right calls and you might just succeed. If not, death awaits at every turn. Along the way you'll discover what life was really like for fighters. From surprisingly high survival rates, to wild weaponry, not-so-sexy sexy side hustles and mercenary match fixing – the truth is even more shocking than Gladiator II's shark-infested Colosseum. Credits You Are History was created, written and produced by Laurie Harris. Narration was by Elliot Hardman. The audio mix was by Alex Choudary. Dialogue was recorded by Emily Wright at Savalas Post. The cover art was by Dan Lester. Scoring - DO NOT READ until you have listened to the episode You get one point per correct answer. As a reminder, here are the answers: Challenge #1 = Submit.
