“The site of epic clash between Spartacus and Roman army discovered in Italy”
—The Independent

It could provide a massive boost for business in the region,
’Cos staging re-enactments of the clash
Between the gladiators and a fully-armored legion
Would bring a lot of extra tourist cash.

A fight instructor should ensure that nothing goes amiss,
Though casting it might not be trouble-free:
“Now, who did we agree on for the role of Spartacus?”
“I’m Spartacus!” “No, I am!” “No, it’s me!”
