The Roman Coliseum Chariot Racing and Intrigue! Win the Brass Ring The Roman Coliseum: There are four chariot racing teams that run the arena - the Red¸ the Blue¸ the Green¸ and the Purple. Those who race the arenas are owned by the coliseum¸ bought and paid for. The only ways out are death¸ old age¸ or¸ once in a great while¸ being awarded the brass ring - the ring of freedom. Win enough races¸ and you too might win that brass ring....At least¸ that's what the overseer says the morning of every race. But nothing in the coliseum is ever so simple. Green with Envy : The Emperor of Rome has long insisted that his favored team - the Greens - wins every race in every coliseum all across the Empire. However¸ political troubles have turned the Emperor's eye away from the more distant coliseums¸ and a few honest races have since been run in distant parts of the Empire. And with honest races¸ it happened: for the first time in many years at the coliseum of Alexandria¸ the Greens lost a race. Of course¸ the Greens did not take the sudden change in their fortunes well¸ and they have sent to Rome for one of their most famous racers¸ bringing him in to put these Blues back down in their place.
