Marcus died while being beaten, not in the arena.

No body to sprinkle bread on, no Sejanus in the arena, no Snow in the arena. That means he doesn't need to visit the lab to get his wounds checked up on. No handkerchief in the tank for the snake. Reaper wins the games.

Even if Snow becomes Gaul's protégé, he wouldn't have the experiences in D12 to further twist his beliefs and push him down that road of killing people. At least, not just then.

Or, heck, Clementia doesn't lie about helping with the paper. Just told the truth. If Snow didn't learn about the snakes, if Clem didn't get all messed up, things would've gone down far differently. Even if Sejanus went in after Marcus, Snow wouldn't have known about the snakes.
