I would rather be a chariort racer because it is not the possible to get killed in the chariot races on the other hand in the collusem you could get killed right off the batt or if you are really good you could still possible died by tigers

I agree with you Logan because it is easier to die in the coliseum you can get stabbed our be a lions lunch. I would want to be a chariot racer but you can still die from it, you could be wiped to death ran over by houses or so racers do have spikes on there wells and it could go though your carriage and stab your leg or foot.

I agree with you Logan you would probably die in the collusem. However I would ride in the circus maximus for a different reason. I would race in the circus maximus because I like racing in general.

I agree with you. It is less likely to die in chariot races. If you fight in the Coliseum, you are more likely to die.

I would rather be a chariot racer that works in the Circus Maximus because I think it would be more fun and easier not to die. And after I'm done with the race I could problem watch a show with the gladiators in it at the coliseum were they fight for there lives.

I totally agree with you, you don't have as much of a chance of dying. So, basically you can have fun, and enjoy it because you don't have to die. People in the coliseum can have fun too, but you know your probably going to die. Chariot racing is way better than fighting for your life.

I disagree with you Kailey because first I think the racers were not racing to have fun they were probably racing to win or get the fame. Also I don't think a chariot racer could die easily because in the scene we saw from the movie "Ben-Hur" the racers were bumping into each other and the racer fell off and got ran over to death. Last in the movie scene it showed how the other racers chariots had spikes on the wheels to mess up the other chariots.

yes but Torrance that is true but dose that happen often and you do have a better chance of living when you are the racers and they probably in for the fame. And MOST of they do but dose that mean they will die.

I will like to be on Chariot racer.Because I have a better chance of surviving.If I win the race I will be able to survive. Also it is not as difficult as fighting a man. Finally I'll run a race because it looks cooler and it looks easier than trying to kill someone. Those are all the reasons why I think racing is a lot easier than killing someone.

I agree because it is a lot easier racing them trying to kill someone. Also you have better chance racing. Then letting a tiger eat you or a Man killing you. Finally in the end I would be like what just happened. Also I will be proud of myself of winning a race that looked really difficult.

i would rather be a gladiator because it shows what you can do. showing of your skills to the world would be cool. but one of us would die so maybe not. i mean i cant kill people. even if i was going to die if i didn't. if your dead u cant show your skills. so what is the point. now that i think about is i would rather be a chariot racer. mostly because you don't kill people.

I would definitely be a chariot racer. Who in the world wants to be ripped apart bit by bit by vicious animals?! Chariot racing seems better because you don't necessarily have to die, and it's not as violent. All you have to do is race horses around a track a couple times, if you fought in the coliseum you would get tired because of fighting, and you would get hurt because of scratches and cuts. So, yes I would rather race even if people can sabotage you, at least your not definitely going to die.

Yes I agree because you would have animals leaping at you in the Coliseum. Also a lot less people died in the Circus Maximus.Finally even if you lost you would not die.

There was still the chance of dying though. If you watched the movie scene,that guy fell off of his chariot and got ran over. It may not be as high of a chance but its still scary to trust that the horses will behave.

I agree with you because no one wants to be ripped apart while you're getting swung at with a sword or an ax. If you do there's something wrong with you. Just like you said, all you have to do in a chariot race is drive a horse.

I agree with you Rylee because a chariot racer does have a better chance of living. Also, getting eaten by animals would probably be a slow and harsh death. Even if you did win in the Colosseum you would most likely be severely hurt and it is not fun getting hurt. In conclusion, I agree with you and would be a chariot racer.

I would rather be a chariot racer in the Circus Maximus because if you fail you only have the shame of losing.You wouldn't be executed like you would be at the Coliseum.you also wouldn't have animals attacking you from out of nowhere.

I would rather be a gladiator because even if you did die in the Colosseum it would be a fast death. It would be a fast death because you could be easily stabbed or eaten by an animal. On the other hand in the Circus Maximus if you did die it would be a slow death because you would be ran over and over again and it will be very painful. That is why I would rather be a gladiator than a chariot racer.

I'd rather be a gladiator because dying faster is easier than having the 50/50 chance of the horses being jerks and not behaving. It'd be quite the slow death to be trampled by horses. That's not too good, so being a gladiator is better... *kazoos away back to my bed*

i agree with you sela becuase in the curcius maximus you would die slower and in the collosem all thqat happens is the emporer put his thum up or down then your but if he puts his thum up then it would ruin your life becuase you have to live with all the scars and the brain injures from being hit by a sheild in the head then maybe that would make me want to go to the curcius maximus.

I would rather be chariot racer that a gladiator.One reason is that a gladiator would die easier than a chariot racer would.It seems like a chariot racer would be more richer then gladiator because gladiators were usually slaves.

I would rather be a chariot racer in the Circus Maximus because there is less likely a chance of death. I would be able to compete in top speed races. I enjoy hearing cheers of people, if I win.

Also when you lose you have a better chance of not being executed, but if you lose being a gladiator you have a pretty high chance to get killed.
