Roman Gladiators The Roman amphitheatre was the centre of public entertainment all over the Roman Empire. People would go to the amphitheatre to see men fighting wild beasts or each other. These men were called Gladiators. Who were the Gladiators? Slaves, criminals, prisoners of war or paid professional fighters. The Gladiators would train/exercise every day to help prepare them for fights. If they won a lot of fights they would earn money which they could use to buy their freedom. If you were a really good gladiator and won a lot of fights you would become quite famous in the Roman Empire. The Games Some gladiator fights were part of a big event called ‘the Games’ These games would take place in the Colosseum in Rome. 50,000 people could watch the games. During the games they had three different fights. In the morning there would be animal shows were animals would fight each other. In the afternoon gladiators would fight against animals and then finally it would be time for gladiator fights. What was it like at a Gladiator fight? The popularity of these fights led to the deaths of over 800,000 people in the Colosseum in Rome. The Emperor would decide if the gladiator should live or die he would listen to the crowds noises before deciding if a gladiator should live or die. A lot of Roman citizens would gamble money on who would win certain fights. Rich citizens normally sat near the front and the poor citizens sat at the back The crowd were often very rowdy and enjoyed seeing the violence of the fights.
