Hi Redsilver23. Your addition of an external link to the Gladiator article has been reverted. Not only does the author of the linked novel offer caveats (his use of synthesis and creative deviations from known chronologies and events) but his foreword appears to misrepresent the legal and social status of gladiators. This is not a scholarly source. Please also note that the Gladiator article offers links to a list of specific gladiator types; the list needs critical revision but it in turn offers some links to fully developed articles. The Naumachia article is possibly among those linked, but a brief glance suggests that this too needs re-editing with reference to recent, scholarly, peer-reviewed research. A case could be argued for a brief reference to Numachia in the Gladiator article, but this could not justify the restoration of your reverted link. Regards.
