The gladiators were active in Rome from 264 BC to well into the 400's AD. Although eventually banned in Rome, the combats continued in the provinces until they faded from historical records sometime in the 400's.

Gladiatorial combat first appeared in Rome in 264 BC and the last combats were supposed to be in the year 354 AD in Rome. In the east the last gladiatorial combat was supposed to be in 392 AD. The years given are hazy, especially for Rome, as after 410 AD there were senatorial medallions depicting gladiators. Either the combats continued after the "official" end of them or the senatorial medallions were symbolic of the past.

Gladiators were popular during the bread and circuses of Rome. They put on shows for the roman people to distract them from the destruction of the empire, and to keep them happy.
