Deaths in the Arena D.17.09.25

24 Sep

There were various styles of gladiators. There were trainers. The gladiators were dressed in armour and practiced fighting. There were various circus entertainments.
There was gladiators fighting, there was hunting, and there were prisoners being killed by wild beasts.
Enormous numbers of people and animals were killed in these arenas for entertainment.
The other form of entertainment, perhaps the most prestigious, was the chariot race. And these took place not in the arenas or the theatres, but in the circuses.
