Match the quote to the article it comes from, "If you've got more gold than, well, anyone, you can use it for whatever you want. Between the 9th and 11th centuries, reports from travelers about the "land of gold" gushed about the gaudy, gold-filled palace where the king—decked out in gold jewelry, of course—sat surrounded by dogs in heavy gold collars and horses relaxing on plush carpets. He was large and in charge. He had a huge army, and he wasn't afraid to use it, but as long as everyone in the kingdom's territories paid their taxes, it was all good. Peace and prosperity ruled in the land of gold."

Match the quote to the article it comes from, "Many of the fights happened in entertainment districts called sakariba. Some bouts would get violent. There'd be hair pulling and, sometimes, tooth smashing. Spectators would get involved. Property would be destroyed. Soon, authorities began to step in. Finally, in 1661, the government made it illegal for even the high-ranking feudal lords to pay for wrestling entertainment."
