View of the Cyrene arena
The Cyrene Gladiator Arena was a gladiator arena located in Cyrene. As one of the gladiator arenas located in Kyrenaika, it was popular among the citizens of Cyrene and the province.
History
The Roman general, Julius Caesar, challenged the arena at some point, clashing against Polymestor, a Thracian gladiator. Caesar defeated the gladiator, eventually sparing him and gave him a sword to signify his freedom.[1]
Sometime later, the Medjay, Bayek challenged the arena in 47 BCE, having being directed by Felix Martialis, the owner of the arena in Krokodilopolis.[2] Bayek clashed with opponents from various parts of Europe, namely The Hammer from Britannia, The Axes from Germania, The Hoplite and The Seleucid, both from Greece and The Duelist from China, defeating them with a variety of weapons.[1]
Shortly after, Bayek returned to take part in the arena, this time facing hordes of fighters, as part of a deal with Thanasis to free Kosey from his employment. Upon finishing his battle, Bayek left the arena, only to find out that Thanasis had betrayed his part of the deal and left to find Kosey.[3]

Entre bastidores
El escenario parece basarse visualmente en el Amphitheatre of El Jem o más probablemente su reconstrucción por Jean-Claude Golvin teniendo en cuenta que consultó el equipo de desarrollo de Orígenes . [4][4][4] En cuanto a ubicación de la arena parece estar en un teatro romano construido en el mercado de la ciudad. [5][5][5] Sin embargo, la arquitectura de El Jem de la arena es anacrónica y el teatro de mercado también fue construido probablemente a más tardar periodo del juego. En cambio, durante este tiempo el Teatro Cirene fue utilizado por los romanos y se expandió en el siglo II EC para servir como arena. [6][6][6]Amphitheatre of El Jem[4][5][6][7][8]
Hay columnas persas y estatuas de Lamassu presentes en la arena. [9][10]
