Pilatus, the Roman governor, two Ro-
man generals, with other distinguished
men, and number Of richly dressed
women, some of whom wore brilliant
riaras or coronets upon their heads. He
stared at them for Il few minutes and at
the tremendous throng of people. but
after that he thought only Of what was
going on in the arena.
There We're chariot races, and Cyril

the mad rush of the contending teams.
while all the thousands who looked on
however, came scenes some Of which

and boxing matches, but these were soon

these duels, bands of gladiators marched
in from opposite sides Of the arena and
charged each other like attachments Of
soldiers upon a real battlefield.
The fighting was furious and desper
ate, but one side was soon beaten, for
the parties had not been equal. One
party had been trained warriors, pro.
fessional gladiators. and the other only
common men, captives taken In IA recent
raid of Pilatus' soldiers upon a wild
tribe beyond the Dead sea. They were
brave enough. but they were put there
only 10 be killed for the amusement OF
the great men and Of the multitude. So
were the poor victims with whom the
days exhibition closed. for they were
