A Gladiator could, by rule, raise either hand with their middle and index fingers together and the remainder of their fingers clenched to the editor of the match. This is to signal "Missio", ceding the match and plea for mercy.
The editor would have the choice of whether the gladiator would live or die.

Haven't the gladiators fought and trained half their lives? I don't think any of us would have a shot.

Yes. In fact, gladiatorial combat was regulated. Dying in fights wasn't as common as the modern movies portray it.

I’m dead as shite if I get a spear. A sword, I don’t know. I lift and have some good cardio though so if I’m going against some random dude I think I’d at least make a half decent show of it. If I’m fighting a gladiator I’m fricked like everyone else in here.

Those Roman gladiators never encountered a Baton Rouge public school graduate like me before.

I would look for Ian, Barbra, Cicki, and the Doctor and escape via the Tardis before Nero burnt Rome

Absolutely not. I would get dumpstered.

Unless I’m matched up against one of the gladiators grandma’s or a bunny rabbit I am pretty sure i would be toting an arse whipping out there.

Ancient warriors conquered cities and were not afraid of dying.

I'm sure i would prevail until i run out of bullets.
Then it would not take long to run me down and dispatch me.
