What Were Gladiators?
What Does a Gladiator Do?
Many gladiators were either slaves or freedmen, former slaves. The crowd would ultimately decide whether the loser would live or die; if the crowd wanted death, the gladiator could not offer the hand of mercy, and if the crowd wanted mercy, then the gladiator could not dish out death. The prospective gladiator received extensive training and became proficient in a particular mode of combat and the use of specific weapons such as the sword, net or the trident. The majority of gladiators were slaves captured during territory expansion.
