salu- +

Hail, Caesar, they who are about to die salute you.

Spoken to Claudius by gladiators prior to entering the arena to fight. This may have been a sarcastic salutation.

Suetonius tells us in his Lives of the Caesars that Emperor Claudius (A.D. 41-A.D. 54) so enjoyed these spectacles, he ordered that even those who fell accidentally be put to death. He wanted to watch their faces as they died.

We who are about to die salute you.
