Rules

ANCIENT WRESTLING MATCHES weren't for the squeamish or timid...

Hoping to see some clean takedowns, reversals, and figure-four leg locks? Better look elsewhere. During the time of the Roman Empire, little things like kicking, biting, and scratching were perfectly acceptable tactics in the world of wrestling. However, there was one way to be disqualified...one hard and fast rule...one boundary you just didn't cross in the fun and games of wrestling. You were never allowed to poke someone's eye out.
