They were at the bottom of the social ladder. The free men often had sold themselves into a gladiator school because of debt or other problems, and many gladiators were in fact slaves and sometimes convicts. The few who survived long enough could sometimes attain a certain 'sport hero' status and - just as today - a certain type of woman might find them irresistble for their machismo. But in this very class-conscious society no-one ever forgot their very low social status.

Some are fascinated with in-groups the groups people see themselves as members of.?

In-groups refer to the social groups that individuals identify with and feel a sense of belonging to, fostering shared values, beliefs, and experiences. This identification can enhance self-esteem and create a sense of community, but it can also lead to exclusion or prejudice against out-groups. The dynamics of in-groups influence social behavior, group cohesion, and interpersonal relationships, highlighting the importance of social identity in human interactions. Understanding these dynamics helps in addressing issues related to group conflict and promotes inclusivity.
