Gladiators

 

It was called gladiator who struggled with one another or with a beast in the public games of ancient Rome. It is said that its name comes from gladius, sword they used. The gladiators were usually slaves, prisoners of war or convicted of a felony. Practicing the fight were given the opportunity to get their freedom, fame and, in many cases, considerable economic position. There were also people who were admitted to the Ludi (training schools and training of gladiators) with the sole purpose of fun and get fame..
