It is in the Colosseum, also called the Colisseum, that gladiator fights were held.

Did the gladiator fights at the Coliseum take place daily?
No, gladiator fights did not take place daily at Rome. A gladiator show was an extremely expensive undertaking so the cost would be a burden to even the richest of men.

How long have Roman gladiators been living?
The lifespan of gladiators is not known. One estimate based on inscriptions on headstones at gladiator cemeteries gives an average age of death of 27. Another estimate gives an average of 18-25 for unsuccessful gladiators who did not receive a headstone. Not many lived beyond 30. However, there were successful gladiators who retired following reward of manumission (emancipation form slavery). Originally gladiatorial combats were fights to the death in funeral rites. When they became public games this stopped. The practice of sparing the life of the looser became common. Skills and the quality of the fight were more important that bloodshed. Some gladiators were praised for winning without shedding blood. Nevertheless, the fights were dangerous and death was frequent. Gladiators fought two or three times a year. Some gladiators died at the first combat. An inscription mentions a gladiator who fought 34 times. There was a gladiator who won 51 combats.

How many gladiators would take part in the gladiator fights?
The average number of Gladiators per average game was about 20, although this number varied depending on time or place. Julius Caesar once paired 320 gladiators at a Munus ("Duty to the Dead," Games specifically for a deceased person, honoring the Manes- the ghost of the dead). for his father. The first number was typically for the smaller games in the provinces which had venues, such as El Djem, Pompeii, and Arles. Caesar was a wealthy Aedile at the time (Roman Magistrate, responsible for the construction and maintenance of buildings) and could afford such a show. The later imperial shows numbered in the upper hundreds to thousands, but these were funded by the Imperial government, whose wealth at their peak seemed inexhaustible. The amount was up to the Editor, (organizer of the games, also the man who ultimately decided the death of a fallen gladiator) and how much money he was willing to spend to offer the games. Remember, the games were a political tool, and were ways to win the favor of the populace come voting time. For further information, contact me at tom_mrsn@yahoo.com
