Familia Gladiatorius is a simple gaming system for recreating the murrus, the gladiatorial combat, using miniature figures. In the larger campaign game, the player takes the role of a ludus, the operator of a gladiatorial school. The ludus owned a number of slaves trained to fight as gladiators. These slaves and their trainers (often retired gladiators themselves) made up the familia gladiatorius of the ludus. Normally, the ludus was contracted by the editor to provide fighters for the murrus. It was a risky business, and its practitioners were reviled by Roman society. Yet fortunes could be made by providing a bloodthirsty populace with bloody entertainment.

In Familia Gladiatoria you track the progress of your gladiators, and I thought the original gladiator sheet needed to be spruced up a bit.
Included on the character sheet are rules references, the turn sequence, and there are 16 pre-defined gladiator types, where you just have to add a name, Strength and Agility rating and start playing!
