latin help- Sister gave me something to help with roman architecture project but it is in latin. ?
I need help with this translation: Ludi * Post ludum*, et Sextus* et pueri ad Circum Maximum et ad Colosseum ambulaverunt. Ad Circum Maximum quadrigas* spectaverunt. In amphiteatro*, Colosseo, aut servi aut captivi pugnabant, viri cum viris, viri cum animalibus (guess! abl. pl.), animalia (nom. pl) cum animalibus. Pueri multas (many) pugnas, etiam mortes (deaths, acc. pl.), in arena videbant (they saw, imperfect). In multis (many) oppidis Romanis et provinciis, erant amphiteatra*. Multi (many) gladiatores (nom.pl.) erant de Thracia* et de Gallia*; in amphiteatris gladiis pugnabant. Praemia gladiatorum (gen. pl, of the gladiators) erant pecunia, fama, libertas (freedom, nom. sing.) et otium. Servus clarus (famous) Spartacus* in arena Capuae* pugnabat; tum bellum in Romanos incitavit. Mors (death, nom. sing.) fuit pretium factorum (of the deeds). Romani ludos et gladiatores (acc. pl) amabant. Colosseum erat et est signum Romae, tunc et nunc. I just posted the paragraphs like my sister gave me. I'm sorry about the *

- Games After school, Sextus and the boys walked to the Circus Maximus and Colosseum. They watched the chariots at the Circus Maximus. In the Colosseum amphitheater, they fought either the slaves/servants or the captives/prisoners, ( i dont get this part). The boys saw many fights, and (many) deaths in the arena. In many Romans towns and pronvinces, there were amphitheaters. Many gladiatores were from Thracia and from Gaul; they fought in the amphitheaters with swords. The rewards of the gladiators were money, fame, liberty, and peace. The famous slave Spartacus fought in the arena of Capua; then he aroused war against the Romans. Death made/was the price of (these) deeds. The Romans loved the games and gladiators. The Collosseum was and is the sign/symbol of Rome, then/at that time and now Notes: ludus, -i (m.) can mean either school, game or sport. Your use of asterisks make some of the parts a little confusing. This is basically first year latin stuff "viri *** viris, viri *** animalibus (guess! abl. pl.), animalia (nom. pl) *** animalibus" this part is a little weird, there is not verb and the words are just out there
