      Expanding that argument further, to name a few:
      a. Crucifixion in ancient Rome
      b. Torture devices in medieval Europe like the rack and iron maiden
      c. Scalping practices among some Native American tribes
      d. Public executions as entertainment in many cultures
      e. Witch hunts and burnings
      f. Slavery and the brutal Atlantic slave trade
      g. Concentration camps in various conflicts

      i. Various forms of corporal and capital punishment

If you throw a net at me I’m dodging or just straight up tanking it and stabbing.

    On the topic of lions vs tigers, I was under the impression that tigers were usually the winner in the matchup due to being much stronger. Im fact I just researched it just now and it seems from multiple sources that the tigers typically had the upper hand.

    ok but the coliseum's setup to be waterproof internally and be piped in such a way that allowed it to be flooded, emptied, then re-used when dry? Genius!
    You talked about Commodus shooting animals all day. He did it from a large, heightened plinth. It's noted that big cats were released into the arena and he shot them down. Within a few minutes, they were cowering in fear, making no attempt to fight, and were trying to run away.
    Even the Roman public found it distasteful, as Commodus continued to shoot and dispatch even the crying, fleeing big cats.

      The coliseum was found to lack the plumbing required to fill and empty it. The only piping found could have only channeled rain water. However, before the coliseum was built that land was owned by Nero who had an artificial lake where these mock naval battles were held.

    The bigger shield is more advantageous you know. The shields weren't as heavy as people think, this has been debunked.

      same as the trident vs sword and shield matchup. yes the trident has a reach advantahe, but i cant think of many weapons that would be even worse against a large shield. if you throw a net in a way thatll open it up, theyll fly pretty slowly and you need to prepare the throw, so the chance of that hitting is basicly 0 aswell

      I'm not an expert but if I remember highschool history correctly 'heavy armour' for gladiators basically meant a helmet and coverings for the arms and legs. It's not like he has a chestplate or anything and fights often ended with the first serious injury. Also, fighting someone with a significantly longer reach than you can be tough in any combat sport so I imagine gladiatorial combat would be no different.
      A lot of it probably comes down to the skill of gladiators anyway though.
