In these pgs. the emperor is trying to find a way to kill Maximus, but cannot just simply do it. So while Maximus was lying on his bed, awake, a guard came to fetch him, and bring him to Lucilla. At any second he was expecting to be killed or attacked, but he wasn't. He was just put into another cell, where he was chained, and Lucilla talked to him about Commodus. Maximus knew he could be killed any second from there out. Just three days ago he thought they poisoned his food. But they didn't. It was about four days in all that people had knowledge that the so called "spaniard" was Maximus (in the book) . Well, as they cleaned up the mess in the arena, and prepared for the next one, everyone else did too. They are now celebrating the 64th day of the games. There was a mule drawn wagon that they brought in, when they lifted up the tarp, there was... BREAD! The servants threw the bread to the crowd, and the people in the audience watched Commodus walk into the stadium. Behind him was Lucilla. Below them was Maximus, arming up for the next battle, and the name of his opponant; Tigris! He was apparently appart of the arena for years. His armor was: tiger-embossed pollished silver armor, over a thick leather backstrap, with a silver tiger helmet. What's next you'll find out.
I don't have much else to say except, I think that Tigris's armor sounds coooool, but Maximus will still win, and also, I wonder how the battle will be like. Also, I thought it was kind of funny how that wagon was filled with bread, and how they threw it out to the crowd. It was pretty unexpected, I thought Maximus was going to be in the wagon, but there wasn't. Anyways, like I said, we will find out what will happen in the next pages.
