Gladiators
Only 10% of the gladiators died in the ring (gladiators were expensive to purchase and they were needed for more than one match)
The term ‘Bread and Circuses” is used to describe the free food given out at the gladiator fights and the atmosphere of the arena
Gladiator was derived from the Latin word Gladius which means sword
