gladiators
Most people think gladiators are people who choose to fight and then they go out into a big arena and fight to get victory and fame. In fact, they are usually criminals sent out to fight wild animals and die. Some criminals who are good fighters end up being famous and then they are freed from being a gladiator. To become a gladiator you needed to pass some trials. If you failed the trails you were given another punishment, which meant certain death. There were lots of different types of gladiators; ones with nets, spears, swords and sheilds. The Colosseum in Rome was the largest stadium for gladiator fighting. Many romans came to spectate and bet on who would win.
