Mientras los bestiari conducen al oso de nuevo a su jaula, el resto de operarios prepara la arena para la siguiente venatio. Se retiran los restos mortales de Hilarinus y se cubre la sangre con arena. Se colocan una suerte de ruinas a modo de decoración, cosa que agrada al público, y por una de las trampillas laterales emergen dos feroces tigres, traídos desde la lejana India. Mientras los animales deambulan nerviosos y excitados por el olor a sangre de la venatio anterior, se abre la puerta principal y Mamertinus el venator hace entrada en la arena armado con su lanza. Cuando el público comprende que deberá enfrentarse el sólo a los dos grandes felinos, parte las gradas ovacionan al valiente venator... aunque también se escuchas algunas risas. Mamertinus se mantiene ajeno a todo esto, concentrado en su objetivo.

While the bestiari take the bear back to its cage, the rest of the workers prepare the sand for the next venatio. The mortal remains of Hilarinus are removed and the blood is covered with sand. A sort of ruin is laid out as a decoration, which pleases the public, and through one of the lateral trappings emerge two ferocious tigers, brought from distant India. As the animals roam nervously and excited by the blood-odor of the last venatio, the main door opens and Mamertinus the venator enters the arena armed with his spear. When the public understands that he must face the two big cats alone, part of the crowd cheer the brave venator... although some laughs can also be hear. Mamertinus remains oblivious to all this, focused on his goal.
Mamertinus sabe que su única oportunidad es enfrentarse a los animales uno a uno, así que avanza decidido hacia la primera bestia...

Mamertinus knows that his only chance is to confront the animals one by one, so he advances resolutely towards the first beast ...

Estoy muy decepcionado con Mamertinus. No volveré a apostar por él en el futuro :P
ResponderEliminarI am very disappointed with Mamertinues. I will not bet on him again in the future :P
El público lamenta por unos instantes la muerte del venator pero al poco tiempo estallan en gritos pidiendo que los juegos continuen, el fervor de los espectadores se puede oir desde las afueras de la ciudad!
