Constantinople naturally had an arena, but because the city was still very young as the capital, in fact, the arena could not be compared with the city of Rome, or even with many Italian and even gallic and Spanish arenas.
The Romans' love for bloody competition was to the point of obsession, in the early days it was just a fight between men and beasts, and it evolved into a fight between people in the later days, and it can even be said that the early arena was more of a performance nature, and the more exaggerated and bloody it became later.
The Hippodrome had a special place in Rome, and any city must have an Arena, even if it was small.
There were many ways to gain popular support in Rome, but gladiatorial battles in the arena were the most direct and effective way, and none of them were available.
In terms of Roman custom, the existence of the arena had another purpose, that is, to please the gods with a grand gladiatorial battle, and the bloodier and more exciting the gladiatorial fight, the more the gods who asked for pleasure would do their best to protect them.
If there really is such a god, it is estimated that he will be divided into the camp of evil gods, then the Romans do not belong to the religion of the evil order The gods of murder and pleasing faith have always accompanied the history of the Romans, even if the religion of the religion was changed to the religion of the first religion, but there should be no shortage of gladiatorial fights, and even a new method of sacrifice was invented, that is, burning.
In the past, the Romans usually crucified a person and caused the person to be killed to bleed too much and bleed to death.
Jesus was crucified by the Romans, and the Romans waited for a few days that Jesus did not die, so they sent soldiers with spears to deliver a crisp blow.
According to the Romans' own accounts, acknowledging that Jesus later died and rose again, they could not figure out what was going on, whether it was speculation that Jesus had twin brothers, or that Jesus did not really die, but should have woken up after a coma in shock.
Of course, later Constantine I began to support the Christianity, and made changes to many historical records, not because he didn't want to cover up the fact that the Romans killed Jesus, but he really couldn't cover it up, it could only be beautified in the direction of miracles, to show that the Romans had a reason to change their faith.
"So, the people of the 1st Governor and 1st Sect will appear on the scene" Cai Mian frowned and looked at Julian, and said unhappily: "If they have any more inappropriate remarks, we will not have any patience." ” When the Han people came to Rome, the first official visit made the Ji 1 Governor 1 Sect develop in a bad direction, and now the Ji 1 Governor 1 Sect has not officially apologized to the Han State, and there are even rumors that Peter was not dismissed from his post, and the fat man who made trouble not only lived a very nourishing life but was also regarded as a hero.
In the city of Constantinople, the traces of chaos that day have not yet been cleared, and even fighting still occurs occasionally.
The fight was a conflict between the 1 Governor and 1 Sect and the 1 disciple of other faiths, and basically the first to do it was the 1 Governor and 1 Sect 1 disciple, which had to make the Han people suspect that the Roman government could not control the Christianity at all.
"I don't have the power to stop them."
Julian smiled bitterly as soon as he came, and he smiled bitterly all the time, he hesitated and hesitated and said: "I will arrange their positions as far away from you as possible, and they have promised not to take the initiative to provoke, please also maintain restraint." ” Cai Mian raised his eyebrows, let out a "hehehe" laugh, and did not give Julian a formal reply.
Julian just said that, he didn't expect those people, including the Han and the Ji 1 Governor 1 to listen to him, just because the organizer clarified his position, which was almost like saying that the two would not help each other.
"Your day," Julian stopped smiling wryly and replaced it with a serious expression, "bring the bravest warriors possible." ” Cai Mian nodded, and gave Julian a smile for the first time after meeting today.
On the first day of the Han envoys, they started a campaign, not to mention killing hundreds of Roman soldiers, Constantinople was also in chaos, and the Romans wanted to save face no matter how much they took care of their losses.
Wang Meng had guessed that it would be carried out in the form of gladiatorial battles, but the Romans had not reacted, but no one had forgotten such a thing, and had been waiting for the Romans to come and find a venue.
"In addition," Julian looked like he was about to speak, waiting for Cai Mian to show an impatient expression before he said, "I have decided to ask Augustus to marry Helena. ” Cai Mian was obviously stunned.
The news about Rome's desire to marry Han was that Julian informed Wang Meng that in fact, the Roman authorities had not taken any action.
Rome will choose Helena to marry is also Julian informed, I have to say that the Han people have not done nothing, they have been inquiring about Helena in private, and in a series of news feedback, at least the Romans have a good evaluation of Helena, and there is no shortage of people who praise it.
"No" Cai Mian really didn't react: "What do you mean?"
"There are many differences between Rome and Seris, and there are obviously very different cultures and social customs."
Julian's heart is actually similar to eating flies, not Helena's rotten life, but he definitely doesn't want to carry the black cauldron: "I just learned about some of Seris's customs, such as attaching great importance to maintaining chastity. ” Cai Mian's face was silent, but he was a little dazed in his heart.
Is Zhu Xia paying attention to that membrane, that's something that's not easy to say.
But, at least for now, that film is important, but it's not that important.
The Western Han Dynasty belongs to one of the time periods when he doesn't care about that membrane, Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty has received many concubines, and a considerable number of concubines are married to the royal family without that membrane, Liu Qi will be depressed and can't guess, but Liu Qi did not thunder and anger because a harem woman did not have that membrane, and even knew that Wang Wan was a remarried daughter, but when he wanted to set up a little pig as the prince, he didn't count that the biological mother of the little pig was a remarried girl.
There are many examples that are not famous, in short, during the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhuxia really didn't pay attention to the membrane of women, but it didn't mean that he didn't care who his wife messed with.
The so-called lack of attention refers to not pursuing the relationship before marriage, and after marriage, you still care about your partner's loyalty.
Influenced by the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, it must be said that there is no such thing as a "physical examination" in the royal family, on the contrary, some scholars of the people attach great importance to this.
The same point is that the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the princes fought chaotically, the Three Kingdoms stood side by side, the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were really many examples of women in charge of the family in this historical period, especially the queen mother and the queen mother of the royal family The number of times the curtain listened to the government is incomparable.
Liu Yan re-established the Han Kingdom, because the royal families of the previous dynasties did not have such a thing, and he had never encountered a concubine who accepted a non-virgin woman, so naturally he did not deliberately set up that exquisiteness.
Again, Zhuxia has just ended the war, and it is the reality of society that there are more men and fewer women, and for many people, it is very good to be able to marry a mother-in-law, and there is no such condition to care about whether there is that membrane at all, and the general environment still maintains the concept of the Western Han Dynasty to the present, that is to say, there is no obsession with that membrane, but it is not allowed to fool around with his mother-in-law after marriage.
Cai Mian came back to his senses a little, if he guessed correctly, there was only one reason why Julian was like this, that is, Helena was a complete, far more than just being open.
There are no relevant regulations on the Han side, but it doesn't mean that it really doesn't matter, especially for the royal family, if you accept a from Rome, it's not just as simple as becoming a laughing stock, Julian can't carry such a big pot, and even Rome can't carry it.
"Your Highness, you need to know a fact."
Cai Mian almost blushed: "Because of you, the angel has written back to China to report the intention of the Roman royal family to marry." ” "That's another thing I'm going to say."
Julian is now extremely glad, fortunately Constantius II has not proposed a marriage, let alone Helena as a candidate, otherwise the matter about Helena can be concealed for a while and cannot be concealed for too long: "Regarding the marriage with Seris, we are serious. ” Cai Mian just looked at Julian and didn't speak, his eyes were full of suspicion and anger that couldn't be hidden.
It is conceivable that if Julian hadn't come over to tell the news about Helena, even if the Han side found out something, it would not be comprehensive, and once the center of the Han Kingdom decided to become a marriage relationship with Rome, it would basically not refuse to marry Helena.
Waiting for the Han side to find out that Helena is a, that is, after Helena got married, there was a mess, and it will inevitably become a political event.
From the moment the royal family married Helena, it was already a shame and a shame, and if there was a follow-up political event, it would not only be as simple as losing face, but it might even shake the foundation of the old Liu family's rule over the country. found out that Helena was already a when she was in Rome, and the only option for Han was to settle accounts with Rome, but the war didn't necessarily break out like that, probably to make Helena evaporate from the world, Rome sent a new princess, and Rome gave Han what it thought was reasonable compensation.
Helena continued to be a after arriving in Han, and Han would not have a second choice but to start a war against Rome, and would be ridiculed by any country and nation in the known world, and it is certain that all Han people would go crazy.
"For the sake of my friendship with Seris, I'm trying to settle this matter."
Julian was well aware of the seriousness of the matter.

He loves Rome and doesn't want Rome to have another enemy country that will never die, but more for his own interests: "I invited Princess Helena to the auction" Cai Mian still knew that Constantius II had another daughter named Helena, but he never paid attention to and inquired about the news.
"Helena is a "Julian is difficult to find another Roman aristocratic woman who is more clean and self-conscious than Helena, that is, she is a little more introverted, and at the same time has low self-esteem because of her growing environment, but for the marriage with the Han Kingdom, those are the opposite advantages: "How to say that it is as holy as a white lily" Cai Mian frowned again, of course the lily is also on the Zhuxia side, but it is not used as an ornamental flower, in fact, the lily in Zhuxia is used for eating or medicine.
Here again, the difference in civilization is reflected, Julian thinks that the white lily can be related to holiness, but Cai Mian sounds weird.
"Dahan is on the passive side in this matter."
Cai Mian looked at Julian, and said expressionlessly: "Whether you choose Helena or Helena, the choice is up to Daqin, and Dahan may not accept it, nor will he necessarily refuse." ” Julian is afraid that Han Guo will accept it, and he is even more afraid that he will take the blame, if it weren't for him, he would be happy to be a spectator and gain benefits with practical actions.
"Maybe you shouldn't say it, but it doesn't matter to you."
Cai Mian continued to stare at the uncomfortable Julian, and said slowly: "Compared to Great Qin, Sasan's performance is what a great country in the world should be.
Shapur II has sent an envoy again, including a hundred royal and noble ladies of the royal family, and they have gone to the Great Han, and you can surely figure out why. ” Julian complained infinitely, Persian Sassanid is also a great country in the world, but what Persian Sassanid is doing is kneeling and licking the Han Kingdom without a bottom line, looking at Persian Sassanid really does not have any dignity that a great country in the world should have.
"Shapur II made it clear that he was sincere, and the Son of Heaven could choose one or more of them to be his concubine, and the rest of the noble ladies would be his dowry."
What Cai Mian didn't say was that in addition to the dowry girl, the Persian Sassanid did not bring treasures and wealth.
He didn't hide his contempt at all: "Compared to it, Da Qin hehehehe" The smile on Julian's face was really unbearable, and he almost yelled loudly, asking Cai Mian if Rome should fully agree to the Han State's request to be a friend.
It doesn't seem to be anything wrong, at least when Zhuxia is not weakened, it is required to take an attitude towards any country in the known world, but anyone who dares to refuse is a heavenly soldier.
However, Zhuxia's eating appearance has never been ugly, and direct annexation is to merge into a family, and accepting and taking will also assume the responsibility of protecting the suzerain.
Since the emergence of the tributary system, the more you go to the back, the Central Plains Dynasty will even give several times or even hundreds of times the reward to the younger brother.
Julian left with mixed and depressed feelings.
Cai Mian elaborated on the meeting and said his conclusion: "As the saying goes, there will be demons when the country is about to die, and there are so many demons in Daqin. ” Everyone is actually quite speechless about Julian, there is Julian who has accepted the gift for so long and has not given a return gift, and the other is Julian's choice to marry a woman "sacrificing his life".
"It's that there is no follow-up that may be triggered by a 1 woman" Dou A has always said something: "With the existence of Ji 1 Du 1 Sect, the result of the interaction between Dahan and Daqin will be the same." ”:
