Considered celebrities in their own time, Roman gladiators were adored by the masses and royalty alike. This enchanting kit helps children experience their world. Using the two collectible gladiator figures included, young readers first enter the grueling training school and then advance to fight inside the magnificent amphitheater.

Over 40 press-out models with bases encourage a variety of narratives, while the book’s clever construction lets readers enjoy their adventures both inside and outside the arena.
