I'm sure you'll end up hating me as a ref for this arena ;D
Anyway, here are the all-important battle set-ups thingies!
With fewer fences probably. You never know, the Romans could have been health and safety junkies! Wait, I'm forgetting what the Colosseum was built for...
The Emperor has arranged (I'm already lying, oh well) an exquisite battle to occur in Rome today! Seasoned Colosseum battler LupusAter is returning to their Latin roots for another time, hoping to best Venser in a battle to the death! Here are those all-important teams.
