Not to quibble, but wouldn't it be "Roma Victra"?
Re: Roma Victrix Trailer - john roberts - 04-28-2011
I suppose that would depend on your meaning. Are you saying "Rome conquers" or "Rome is the conqueror."

is the colloseum not a later name but is it circus flavium.

If you're saying that the PERSON is the conqueror/winner, victrix is correct for a female, I think, based "executor/executrix, mediator/mediatrix, so victor/victrix" thinking. Something like "championess", if there were such a word.
I think the issue of grammar could be solved by Victrix Romae (Victrix of Rome) or Victrix Romana (Roman Victrix), but hey, I'd just like to read it. I won't argue about the title. Good on you for writing something about Rome and the gladiatrix. We have a member on RAT named Medusa who is a provocatrix (as in a gladiator type, not a troublemaker, heh).
When can we get copies?

Agrimensor: Yep, its not referred to as Colosseum in the book. But the trailer is really supposed to have a broader appeal and I'm not sure how many folk out there would know about the "real" name of the amphitheatre.
M Demetrius: There's a character in the book based on her ;-)
Thanks for the tips on grammar, chaps.
Cheers
