∙ 13y agoRoman gladiators were slaves, not mercenaries. They do not get paid in that sense. They do not fight whenever they want. The lanista (roman gladiator slave master/owner) determined when a gladiator would fight. That and the gladiator event manger. (Munera manager/host) (Munera is a latin term) The Emperor had sole control over even the most significant lanista though. He was the main boss. Gladiators are warrior slaves that can be paid their (missio) or freedom if they prove their worth. (Missio is a latin term) Nevertheless, the more battles a gladiator won, the more prizes or spoils/wealth he would receive. If a gladiator proved to be victorious and entertaining to the crowd to a great enough degree he could be freed and/or keep the wealth he accumulated as a gladiator. Though there was a big choice after that. A gladiator veteran who chooses to return to the gladiator way of life and become a gladiator again is payed even more than his first time around. If he gets his 2nd missio, retires again and chooses to return to the business yet another time, he will be payed even more than his 2nd time around. But that is a very rare situation. Most of them would die before such a thing could happen or are just wise and have common sense ultimately choosing not to return to a life as a gladiator after being freed.

∙ 9y agoGladiators were slaves and slaves are not paid. Many were captured men from battles with Rome. The best they could expect is freedom from the slavery. If they got that far before they were killed in the games along with the freedom did come the chance for wealth and to be a "rock" star in the Roman world.
