CALAVIA
CALAVIA is a powerful historical novel set in the height of the Roman Empire, where spectacle is currency and freedom is an illusion. When young Umbrian farmer Calavia Megella is seized from her peaceful village along with dozens of other women, she is thrown into the brutal machinery of Roman slavery. Among the captives is Vergilia Habita, a fierce warrior from Armorica with an unbreakable will. Sold to the hedonistic and manipulative Manius Urgulanius Cyricus, the women are forced into a twisted spectacle-oil wrestling on crimson furs for the amusement of Rome's elite. Trained by the weary but principled Titus Messienus Verecundus, and tormented by the sadistic overseer Tertius Modius Bibaculus, the women endure humiliation, hardship, and psychological warfare. Yet beneath the gilded spectacle, rebellion begins to stir. Calavia and Vergilia form a bond of mutual respect and strategic resistance. As Manius prepares for his ultimate exhibition to impress the visiting Emperor, the enslaved women secretly conspire to upend the power structure. With their bodies honed and spirits sharpened, they enter the arena not just to perform-but to defy.Complete

EMBERS // A Gladiator II Fanfiction ✔︎
"I'm not a fighter, and I'm certainly not a revolutionary. I'm just a healer." Adriana once fought for her life in the Colosseum. When she finally laid down her sword, she swore never to pick it up again. Now a healer, she keeps her head down, tending to the wounded and trying not to draw attention to herself. But when she's pulled into a brewing rebellion she never meant to join, Adriana is forced to confront a past she thought she'd left behind─and a future that demands more of her than she is willing to give. But, then she meets Acacius─a Praetorian guard, whose belief in a freer Rome is unshakable. And to Adriana's frustration, so is his belief in her. She's spent years avoiding the fight, haunted by what it cost her the first time. But, Acacius sees the fire she's tried to smother, and Adriana starts to wonder if survival is still enough... or if it's time to fight for something more. "I never asked for this rebellion, but I don't see any other way. If we don't fight, what's left for us?" ── STARTED: 17/11/2024 FINISHED: 28/05/2025 ── 🏆ACHEIVEMENTS🏆 4 in #thelastofus 1 in #pedropascalfanfiction 4 in #gladiator2 10 in #paulmescal 3 in #pedro 1 in #generalacacius 1 in #regularupdates 1 in #denzelwashington 9 in #mandalorian 7 in #pascal 3 in #pedropascal 10 in #firstperson ── ⚠️WARNING⚠️ mature themes, including coarse language, sex, graphic depictions of violence and death.
