Aundy (Pendleton Petticoats - book 1)
“More than a million people died in the siege with those kept alive turned into slaves. Many were sent to be fodder for the gladiators and beasts in the Roman arenas.’” Nik stopped reading the history book in his hand and looked at Aundy as she mixed up a cake recipe handed down in her family for many generations. “What do you suppose it was like, being in one of those arenas?”
Pouring the batter into a pan and placing it in the oven, Aundy sat down across from Nik and thought about his question....
“I suppose it would have been loud, for one thing. Think of all the people there, not to mention the noise from beneath the arena where they kept the men and beasts. From what I understand, there were vendors selling all sorts of things, so they were probably calling out to people, trying to get them to buy their wares. It probably smelled pretty bad with all the blood and animals there, and the sheer number of people watching. It was probably hot, standing on the sand they used in the arena,”MoreLess
