Morturi Te Salutant: Main Page -> Morturi: The Lanista and the School

This page runs through the basics of creating a school.

1. Determine Budget

First, determine how much gold you have available to build your school.

By default, in a pick-up match or GM-run campaign, a School will have Ten Thousand Denarii. A single denarius is thought to be equivalent in buying power to US$20 in modern day terms, and an ordinary slave would cost anything from 500 to 2000 denarii, with trained or proven gladiators often holding much higher values.

In a pick-up match, players might agree to vary the starting value of their schools, to allow for grand spectacles and small skirmishes, or to allow a more experienced player to deliberately handicap himself.

2. Purchase Gladiators

In a pick-up game, Gladiators have the following pricings:

  • Novicius - 500 Denarii
  • Gladiator - 1000 Denarii
  • Primus Palus - 1500 Denarii

In a full campaign game prices are not fixed, but instead Gladiators are sold at Auction.

3. Generate Gladiators

In a pick-up game
