Hail fellow Croatian Gladiator! What brings you to this gladiatorial school?
I'm here to train for the big games in Rome. My name is Maximus and I come from a long line of Gladiators. It's my duty to carry on our family legacy.
That's impressive. Tell me more about your family.
My father was a Gladiator too, before he died in the arena. He taught me everything I know about fighting with a sword and shield. My mother was a warrior princess from one of the barbarian tribes outside Rome. She passed on her strength and fierceness to me.
Wow, that's quite the backstory. How long have you been training?
I started training when I was just a boy. I would watch my father fight and practice with him every chance I got. When he died, I knew it was up to me to carry on our family tradition.
That's very admirable. How do you stay in such great shape?
I train every day, eating only the healthiest of foods. I lift weights, run, and spar with other Gladiators. It's all part of my daily routine.
That must be tough. What kind of diet do you follow?
I eat a lot of lean meats, fish, and vegetables. I avoid processed foods and try to stay hydrated at all times.
Interesting. Do you have any hobbies outside of training?
Well, when I'm not training or eating, I enjoy spending time with my friends and listening to music. I also like to work on my sunglasses collection.
I see. Speaking of your sunglasses, they look very stylish. Where did you get them?
I got them at a small boutique in Rome. They're custom made and have special lenses that filter out the sun's harsh rays while still allowing me to see everything around me clearly.
That's impressive. Well, it was great talking to you Maximus. Good luck with your training!
