Rudis EDP 75 ml

 

Ancient Rome. A young gladiator walks along the dusty road that leads to the arena, mustering the little energy he has left in his drunken haze of fermented wine. He tries to banish fear, he tells himself:

 

"It's easy for the reckless to have courage. I, Mirmillone Actius, know what I am about to face: death, blood, battle await me.

 

Fear clenches my throat, my legs tremble, freeze and prevent me from walking.

Why? All of a sudden the cries of lanista, the trainer, a blow to the shoulders, a sharp pain. I find myself in the arena before an excited crowd. Shouts resound above me, and there is nothing but anger, despair, my loneliness. I'm only 20 years old! But I do not want to surrender.

Freedom is worth all this, I am nothing more than a slave but I shall earn my new life. I will turn the tension that paralyses me into strenght. I feel the throbbing in my temples; I am more alive than ever: Rudis awaits me."

I shall use all my energy and I shall fight with the fury of a beast and with the dignity of a valiant soldier. I know, the Emperor is watching me; time has come to put myself to the test.

 

Oh, hated Rome! I shall cease to be a slave and become your Hero."
