I've been reading a few novels about life in Rome recently, and gladiators have featured a lot, so I too am fearful for Clark.
Fighters in the arena didn't have a long life expectancy, and Clark is fairly old to begin life as a gladiator.
I agree with Marcus, for all the fact that they were supposed to be civilised, Romans were not nice people.
I'm hoping Lois and Xena are able to rescue Clark before he's hurt too much, but I understand that you want to stretch out the drama ... and my nerves.
Yours Jenni
