  • What did the gladiators actually do inside the Roman Colosseum? What was the life of a Gladiator like? Would you survive the battle inside the Roman Colosseum? Let's look at what happened inside a Roman Colosseum during the rule of the Roman Empire!
    The great amphitheater that we know as the Roman Colosseum was commissioned by Emperor Vespasian around 70-72 AD. Like any big stadium, it was for the public’s enjoyment, where folks could watch various games. Except the games were quite different at times from the kind of games we watch these days.
    This entertainment enthralled the crowds and these games were sometimes said to be the “bread and circuses” that pacified the masses and directed their energy away from life’s difficulties.
    Today we’ll look at just how far the Romans went in entertaining the people, in this episode of the Infographics Show, The worst things that happened in the Roman Colosseum.

    I know this comment may trigger some people. It seems that some people does not fully understand the topic about Roman Colosseum....First the so called "Roman Colosseum" in the video is Amphitheatrum Flavium or Flavian Amphitheatre/Colosseum in english which is located in Roma. However there were totally 230 amphitheatres/ Colosseum widely scattered around the area of the Roman Empire.Most of them is in western province of the empire,for the eastern part of empire,because of the population and culture were mainly dominated by Greeks and Greeks enjoy drama and chariot races.Therefore,you mainly see chariot Circus and theatre in eastern part of empire,which means that gladiatorial game were only popular in western province.The empire would not throw innocent people to feed animals,the only people were in was really really bad criminals.For the gladiators,they nearly never fought to death as gladiator were seem as idol,superstars like todays MMA and WWE star to the people.The death rate of gladiator is about 5%,the only unlucky who die was mainly due to botches and accidental kills.Of cause,if tthere is some evil and bloodthirsty emperors ,human eating and ancient battle royale will surely happen.During the later year,since Roman empire fully adopted christianity and lack of money of empire,Roman people were disgusted by the brutality of the barbaric games,they rather go to church and watch chariot races.The Colosseum became a public market for people to buy daily necessities. Christianized emperors officially forever banned all type of games and event seen in the past as it violate the core value of bible and christianityand detrimental to social atmosphere.
    (Although there is still record of gladiatoral game in early day of byzantine empire/eastern roman empire as the eastern empire successfully reclaim Italy and destory the ostrogothic kingdom in about 523 AD)

Shame that many people still enjoy watching it though, I really can't understand how 2 or more people fighting is even a little enjoyable. Luckily the level of violence is changed though, I'm glad that humanity in general has developed and stopped going crazy over fights in excitement to the point where people fight to the death.

    One thing that's really important to remember about gladiators is that it was super rare for them to die. Not for any moral reasons, just because they were extremely expensive to train up and use in the arenas. However, one of their duties were that if it was their time to die, they were to be examples to Romans on how to face and accept death with Roman honor.
    Also side note, gladiators were fat because it's protection for internal organs.

    Actually it was quite rare for gladiotors to die in a match. Fighters (or referees) could stop the match if they wanted, and take the loss. Fights to death were likely to happen and the end of the gladiators career, as they had at that point already brought enough money for their owners. We also know that there are few times when the crodws got very angry as legend status gladiators killed each other, becouse people loved to see them fight.

    Most of the deaths which occurred inside the Flavian Amphitheater (the area being called Colosseo actually refers to a giant statue of Nero which existed there previously) were actually criminal executions. Many gladiators actually did not die in battle.
    I took many Roman history classes whilst living there, and the first thing they did was dispel some of the common myths.

    Could you imagine if the coliseum was fitted with bathrooms, lights and food courts.
    The brutality would have gone on longer

    That bit with Commodus and people without feet is even better than described here. Apparently he made them be laid out in the Colosseum in the shape of a human body. Commodus was in the middle and he proceeded to club everyone to death. And then he proclaimed that he killed a "giant".

    I'd wanna go out fighting with all I had. The pain would be unbearable but if I could get all my rage out before death then I'd truly be at peace, comfort and rest in the afterlife.
