"What's this?" one voice asked. This voice is a harsh, commanding baritone. "New shipment of gladiators, sir," another voice answered. This one is quieter, higher-pitched, nervous. It probably belongs to someone young. The crate was pried open at the top ever so slightly, and I winced as the bright afternoon light glared into my eyes after the inky darkness of the crate. I heard the other prisoners groan with discontent as well. I caught a glimpse of a sharply angled but handsome face looking down upon us before the lid of the crate slammed shut once more and we were once again enveloped in blackness. "Let them in," the authoritative voice ordered coldly. "Get them to the trainers immediately." "Yes, sir," replied the young voice. I could hear the sound of bronze boots clacking against cobblestones, and it slowly receded. Then, I heard an order called out, and with the clattering of hooves against stones, we lurched forward once again.
"Welcome to the arena," a voice said. This one, too, was authoritative, but it was kinder than the voice from before. I opened my eyes slowly and leaned upward in the crate, awaking from my nap in the crate. I beheld a tall, muscular man with jet black hair cut unevenly short. He was clad in the garb of the Roman military; lorica segmentata, a war skirt, caligas, a scarlet focale, a crimson tunic, a black woolen sagum, a horsehair galea, and a balteus containing a stylized gladius. His face was marred by a deep, straight scar running from the cheek to just above the eye. He extended his right hand to me and I grasped it in mine. He gripped my hand firmly and hauled me to my feet. I stumbled at first, months of malnutrition and starvation as well as being jammed in a crate with several other people for days having severely atrophied my muscles, but the soldier caught me. I was able to sit down in a stooping position. "My name's Cadmus," the soldier informed me. "And that's Octavia." He pointed across the vast, sand-floored room and I saw a tall, equally muscular woman in a white toga and caligas. She seemed to be pretty...but in a commanding way. "We're your trainers." "Trainers? For what?" I asked in confusion. Cadmus shook his head. "You don't know where you are, do you?" Octavia replied, walking up. I shook my head unsteadily. "You're in the Arena," Cadmus informed me. "In Rome." I rubbed my gritty eyes. I did recall hearing one of the guards mention something about sending me to some arena. "So...the Arena? In Rome? And why am I here?" I asked again. "I think you know," Cadmus replied. "This Arena is used as a form of punishment for crimes against Rome. I don't care to know what crime you committed in particular, but I do know that in order to be here, in this arena, you have to have done something." "A punishment?" I repeated. "So...it's like the gladiators' arena then, is it?" "Not quite," Octavia answered. "This Arena is a little bit different." "How so?" I asked. "In the Gladiator's arena, the fights are fair," Cadmus answered, "and they're watched by a crowd of spectators for sport. This Arena is no sport. The only viewer is our Emperor, and he is our judge. We must put on a good show for him. He and the others control everything in the Arena. If the Emperor is disappointed, we die. That's not exactly it, but it's a simplified version." "So...I'm in the Arena to fight, am I?" I asked, already knowing the answer. Octavia rolled her eyes. "Of course," she answered. Cadmus folded his arms impassively. "And you're my trainers?" I clarified. Cadmus nodded. "Our job is to make sure you survive...long enough so that the Emperor is pleased with our work, that is," Cadmus told me. "Your work reflects on our own. If the Emperor is really displeased about your performance, we can be punished as well. We must not only make sure you survive, but that you put on a good show." "Makes sense...I guess," I said, shrugging. "So, what now?" "Perhaps you should tell us who you are," Octavia suggested.

Because it's one of the standard pieces of equipment for an arcus, Cadmus and Octavia give you a new horse for the Arena. You return to the Arena for another fight. "All right," says the desk jockey at the Arena. He has a stylus in one hand and a scroll in the other. He's looking supremely bored. "I want to schedule a fight," you say. He chews on the end of the stylus, thinking. "Uh...today, we've got two different fights set up that have an open slot. One fight is a 1v1v1v1 between a hoplomachi, a myrmidon, a Thracian, and the next is the open slot, worth 4 asarii. And the other fight is a 1 on 1 fight with the opponent being a myrmidon. That one's worth 2 assarii. Which one do you want to sign up for?"

Generall strategy for the entire fight will consist of:
A) Constantly moving, making sure they can't reach me, and can't get me cornered/surrounded
B) Aiming for weak points in their armour: Backs, Armpits, inside the thighs, vison slits in visors, etc
C) I make a few potshots, and when it become 1v1, make it as entertaining as possible: Fake them out on charges, fire arrows and purposfully miss, etc.

Why do people always say purposefully? I think it's intentionally, isn't it? Anyway, you remain constantly moving and take a few shots at them. The fact that you are constantly in motion makes a good shot very difficult, and you're having trouble getting them in a place where it would really hurt. However, they are fighting each other, not you, and it doesn't seem to matter until you get a shot straight through the helmet of the Thracian. The arrow pierces clean through his eye, and he falls to the ground dead. The remaining two immediately decide that you are presently the bigger threat, and cover themselves with their shields. Then they start approaching; one from your left, one from your right, blocking you from moving forward or to your left or right. And behind you is the arena wall. What will you do?

Saw this in a movie once!
If there blocking my flanks, that means there has to be a sizable gap in front of me. So I'd charge infront of me, and jump (because they will obviously try to cripple the horses legs). Then, I turn back in my saddle, and aim for the Myrmillons side. Then, I just start messing with the survivor's head.

You charge straight forward and jump. They both stab forward at you, but miss both you and your horse. You turn back in the saddle and aim at the myrmidon's side. You hit him with an arrow in his back, and he's injured, but his armor takes most of the hit and the rest he is able to handle, although he's clearly in pain.

They appear shaken, and as a result take a defensive stance instead of attacking you. They back up against the wall and hold up their shields. You take a shot at the Samnite but his shield was up and it blocks your arrow. What with all your "fake shots" and intentional misses, you're kind of starting to run low on ammo now.
