They used to think that the essence of a gladiator gave some of his vigor. So they'd collect the used olive oil that a gladiator had used to bathe (in those days they used tepidarium and fridiaruim to open then close the pores then oil was used with a scraper on the skin to absorb the grime.) This was sold at a price and some women even well uh they acquired other forms of essence.

Anyway I use that tepidarium/frididarium method when I shower sans olive oil though I've used olive oil soap anyway if you've not tried it you should feels very refreshing. Tepid first then frigid and the type that takes your breath also makes you more resistant to changes in tempature like walking in from cold to warm which is a cause of colds.

I'm not selling my essence though to be clear.

Correct, ya beat me to it.

The spectators would indicate their choice by using the thumb, but also not the way we think.

A "thumbs down" indicated that the crowd wanted the victor to ground their weapon (stick the sword in the ground) to end the fight without killing the opponent.

A "thumbs thrust backward to the throat" meant that the crowd wanted the victor to kill the opponent.

But, as you wrote, the emperor had the last word.

Probably more than anyone wanted to know.

Purity of Essence,

I first became aware of it, Steelhead, during the physical act of love... Yes, a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I — I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred, Steelhead. Women, er, women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Steelhead...but I do deny them my essence.

You'll never crack the return to base code so don't bother trying. The Soviets err Russians must be stopped. I knew that was a Russian code name Platapus it didn't fool me. Now off with you while I prepare my mine shaft which has a fluoridization proof water supply. POE EOP
