Ancient Rome

1) I learned that gladiators have to wear something that suit their personalities to win a dual 2) I learned Roman gladiators had to train a lot before being able to fight in the Colosseum 3) I learned that most Roman gladiators began as slaves but some gave up their freedom to be a gladiator 4) I learned some gladiators would be killed in the battle because this is what the Roman people and the Emperor/King liked to see. 5) I learned that gladiators were one of the biggest entertainment in Rome. If these gladiators won and were given a palm branch and a wooden sword, they were free. If you weren’t a very common gladiator, the crowd would give a thumbs down which means you would be stabbed/killed. If you were a popular gladiator, your life would be spared if you were defeated.
