Those Who Are About to Die Salute You
Ave Caesar (board game)
Somewhat stylized view from within a Roman arena; a group of around seven gladiators are picked out by the sunlight saluting the Emperor, their weapons and shields held aloft. The stalls for the immense audience stretch into the distance. On the ground a small number of the dead from previous combats lie where they fell in the sand.
