Last year, when my oldest baby basset started seventh grade, I signed him up for wood shop classes. I don’t recall asking him if he wanted to. That was one of those things I was forcing him to do. I felt it was important that he learned how to use power tools like I did when I was his age. When I was his age I remember absolutely falling in love with wood shop class. I loved the smell of cut wood, making things with my hands, and the feel of the power tools cutting and sanding the wood. It was AMAZING. I was really hoping my oldest would feel the same way. Thank golly he did. The big issue I had with the class though is they spent 75% of the semester learning safety, and didn’t even touch a power tool until the last few weeks of class. ERG!!! I am all for learning proper power tool safety, but SERIOUSLY!! Back in my day the safety portion of the class went exactly like this, “Don’t cut your fingers off, and no loose clothing.” This year he enrolled himself in wood shop, but since the kids are all distance learning, you can imagine there is not much to the class. So for Christmas this year hubby and I bought him his first power tool, a jigsaw. It’s time to go old school with my baby and jump right in!
GLADIATORS OF THE NAUMACHIA
by Sterling Nixon
Genre: Historical Fiction | Action & Adventure
FREE for a limited time
In 79 AD, two men heralded as demi-gods, stepped onto Roman Triremes as they prepared themselves for the Naumachia. They were both champions, having proved themselves through epic gladiatorial combat; but now, as they looked over the dozens of ships crowded in the man-made harbor, they would have a chance to join the ranks of legend.
None of that fame mattered to Verus — a man who had been forced into this barbarity. As he stared long and hard at thousands of opponents across the lake, all begging for the combat to begin, only one of the many faces mattered to him — that was the man that caused the nightmares, the man that undid everything. That was the man they called Priscus the Gaul.
BASED ON ACTUAL EVENTS:
What started out as a traditional fight to the death ended up being the most dramatic gladiatorial bout ever recorded blow for blow. No other fight in Roman history has been more sensational, more remarkable than the fight between Priscus and Verus. The bout’s curious place in history stems from it’s unique beginning and remarkable end.
WARNING: Contains some graphic violence and mild swearing.
