Thanks for the translation!

Well, I think I may have found a passage with some information on it... however, there is a slight problem (for me at least)... it's in Latin. Found it here: P. CORNELI TACITI ANNALIVM LIBER DVODECIMVS

I've always told my friends that gladiators faught "sea battles" as well as the more commonly thought of man-to-man/beast combat, but not many believed me. I have given up on them, but I would like to know much more on this type of once-in-a-lifetime event. I'm especially interested in the naumachia thrown by Claudius around AD 52, which from what I've seen from different sources, had somewhere around 19,000 gladiators fighting on triremes and quadremes, though I can't remember where it was held.

I'm gonna go with Corinth. Rivalled Athens and Thebes in wealth, and Corinth's great temple on its acropolis was dedicated to Aphrodite, which, according to most sources, had more than one thousand temple prostitutes employed. Not to mention it was the host of the Isthmian ganes, held the year before and the year after the Olympic games, in honor of Poseidon.

I would choose Vulcan as well. For a god, he always seemed to be more human than the other major gods... to me at least. Basically the only imperfect major god out there, being lame and whatnot...
