Where did gladiators live?
They didn't have sinks, so they couldn't wash.Another answer:Life of a gladiator was not an easy. When a new recruit, called a novice entered one of the gladiators' schools he was assessed by the owner of the school, a doctor and the trainer. When they had completed their initial training and were ready to fight in the arena they were called Tirones gladiatores or Tiro. His day started at dawn when their cells were unlocked and they were sent for the first meal of the day. Strict discipline was enforced and new gladiators were not allowed to speak at mealtimes and were bound in shackles unless they were training.-The gladiator lived in small compounds attached to gladiator training schools known as "ludus" or travelled in troupes known as "familia.

How many gates do the roman colosseum have?
The arches on the first tier provided 80 entrances: 76 numbered entrances for the general public (plastered and painted white and red) and four un-numbered grand entrances decorated with stuccoes. One entrance was for the magistrates (officers of state). One was the ceremonial entrance for the emperor, the senators and the Vestal Virgins. One entrance gave direct access to the arena via the Gate of death of Porta Libitina (Gate of Libitina, the goddess of funerals). Dead gladiators and animals were taken through this exit. A tunnel connected the gate to the Spoliarium, a room under the arena, where the bodies of the gladiators were stripped and the weapons and armour were taken. One entrance also led directly to the arena, but via the Gate of Life or Porta Sanaviva. It was used for the procession of gladiators into the arena and their exit. A tunnel connected the gate to the Ludus Magnus gladiator school, 60 meters (180 feet) to the east.
